Download transactions from Fidelity NetBenefits

Fidelity has disabled their OFX server, so automatic retrieval of transactions from Fund Manager is no longer possible, but you can still download/import this data.

Importing Transactions

1. Download a QIF transaction file from Fidelity NetBenefits at "Accounts & Benefits / View your Transaction history / Download Transaction History".  Select a time period, and choose "QIF" for the "File Format".
2. Import the QIF file into Fund Manager using "File / Import / Transactions / Quicken (*.QIF)...".  In this dialog you'll need to "Specify" what sub-portfolio to import into under "Import into Fund Manager Portfolio".
   Tip: When using a QIF import the "Name" property in the Fund Manager investment needs to match the name in the QIF file.  You can look in the QIF file with a text editor like Notepad and find the "Name" on the lines beginning with a 'Y'.

Reconciling

1. A downloadable position file is not available, so choose "Manually Reconcile" as the statement source and compare share balances against what is listed on your statement.
