Fund Manager 2026 Beta Change List
Fund Manager 2026 Beta includes the following improvements over the 2024 versions:
- Added the option to fully encrypt/protect all of your data files with industrial strength encryption (AES). See "Options / General Preferences... / Data / Encrypt All Data".
- Added the ability to filter reports by any Custom Investment Property. A wide variety of comparison operations are available to filter on any date, text, or number custom investment property.
- New options to help locate cash type investments and the default cash account in the Portfolio Editor more easily. The new "Show Cash on Top" option keeps any cash type investments and the default cash account at the top of the list view, regardless of sorting preferences. If there is a default cash account, it will be at the top, above all other cash type investments. The new option "Show Default Cash with Shaded Color" allows you to pick an optional separate background color for the line with the default cash account. See "Options / General Preferences... / Portfolio Editor Display". Also added "Cash on Top" to right mouse menu on list view header to quickly toggle this option on/off.
- Added the option to store/recall the expanded/collapsed state of each sub-portfolio in the Portfolio Editor. These states are also stored in the portfolio file for recall across sessions. See "Options / General Preferences... / Portfolio Editor Display / Store/Recall Expanded State of Sub-Portfolios in Tree View". This new feature is enabled by default.
- Added the ability to display Pie Chart legends as either percentages or value. See the new option "Graphs / Options / Slices Display Value".
- Optionally display pie slice information in tooltip for all pie type graphs when graph display option "Display Marker Data in Popup Tooltip" is on. Format of data depends on the new "Slices Display Value" option.
- Added a new graph display option to control whether the main Y axis labels are on the left or right side of the graphs. See the new option "Graphs / Options / Display... / Primary Y Axis Labels on Right Side". Previously the primary Y axis labels were always on the left.
- Added new independent "Snap" option for graph cursors. The cursors can now either snap or be free floating. Previously cursors always snapped to plotted data points. See "Graphs / Options / Cursor / Snap".
- Added a new graphing option to use "Step" style plots. Helps hilight small changes in plotted values more clearly. See the new option "Graphs / Options / Display... / Use "Step" Line Style".
- In the Technical Analysis graph, when the lower indicator is set to "<none>" the upper portion of the graph utilizes the whole screen. Previously an empty lower indicator section would consume screen space in this case.
- Added support for the "Also Reconcile All Sub-Portfolios" option when reconciling with an Open Financial Exchange (OFX/QFX) statement file. Works the same as when retrieving the statement from the broker, allowing you to quickly reconcile multiple accounts that are all contained in a single OFX/QFX statement file. (Works well with the Vanguard downloaded OFX file)
- Added menu commands in the Data Register to allow jumping between a source transaction and the associated default cash account transaction. When right mouse clicking on a transaction there are 2 possible new menu commands: "Show Associated Cash Transaction" or "Show Source Transaction" depending on which side of the transaction you've selected. The "Show Assocated Cash Transaction" will be available if the clicked on transaction has an associated transaction in the default cash account. The "Show Source Transaction" will be available if the clicked on transaction is in a default cash account, and was made due to a transaction in another investment (the source). These commands will jump to the matching transaction in the Data Register. If you hold down Ctrl or Shift when selecting either of these commands, the matching transaction will be displayed in a new Data Register window.
- Added 3 new quote servers for improved international coverage. See the new End Of Day Historical Data servers: EODHD, EODHD (Adjusted Historical), and EOD (Historical). (more info)
- Added the ability to retrieve prices by symbol in the Symbol List dialog. You can retrieve with either the primary or historical quote servers. The ability to update prices manually by symbol also remains available.
- Changed how currency for trendlines is remembered from currency position to currency label. Trendlines are only displayed when the displayed currency matches the trendline's currency. More robust, especially when using currency templates. Some smart comparison is done, such that common currency symbols like $, €, £, ¥ will match with their currency codes USD, EUR, GBP, and JPY.
- Dividend Yields in a Custom report are now also calculated for sub-portfolios. Previously only investments reported a dividend yield. An end value weighted average is used for calculating dividend yields on sub-portfolios.
- Added more control over automatic price retrieve timer. You can now control whether manually initiating a price retrieve resets the automatic retrieve timer or not. See "Options / Internet Settings... / Frequency... / Timer Resets on Any Price Retrieve".
- Added new options to control the alert popup dialog box. The alert window can be displayed as a separate top level window, or a child window of the main Fund Manager window. A second option controls whether or not the alert dialog box is always forced to the foreground, even if you are working in a different program. See these new options at "Options / Alerts...".
- Improvements to the "Memorized Reports" dialog box. Can now optionally be left open while working for quicker access. It is also resizable now.
- Updated the price retrieve status dialog box to show more details and in a more organized manner
- In the Data Register when the selected sub-portfolio has a default cash account, the current cash balance is displayed next to the sub-portfolio
- Speed mode improvements in Data Register. After pressing "Show All Data", the speed mode remains off until either the investment or data type is changed.
- Data Register speed improvements related to refilling the list after adding/editing data
- Improved text in Distribution markers to include: Distribution value, shares owned, and distribution per share amount
- Improvement to the list of most recently opened portfolio files at the bottom of the "File" menu. If a recent portfolio file fails to open, you are now given the option to remove that portfolio file from the most recent list. Can be helpful to clean up the most recent list if portfolio files have been moved or renamed.
- Improved the message box that is shown when clicking on a hidden (and not displayed) investment in the Find dialog. Previously you could either turn on the display of all hidden items so it could be displayed or do nothing. Added the option to unhide only the selected investment.
- Added keyboard shortcuts to the right mouse menu in the Portfolio Editor window, including a new shortcut to Graph a portfolio
- Improved listing of investment types in several dialog boxes. There were several dialogs that listed Investment Type in the originally defined order, instead of in the user's desired order.
- Improved Bulk Reconciling handling of link sub-portfolios. When bulk reconciling, only list each unique account once. Previoulsy if there were link sub-portfolios they would also be listed in the reconciliation list, causing potential duplicates to show.
- In the "Paste Prices/Transactions" dialog box, initialize the "Record Corresponding Entries in Default Cash Account" option to how it was last used
- In both the Portfolio/Investment(s) Overlay and the Investment Overlay graph types, moved the "Overlaid Investments..." and "Overlaid Portfolios..." right mouse menu commands to the top of the menus for quicker access
- Added more commands for updating the price (Single/Multiple/Repeat) to the "More..." menu in the Data Register, like in the top level menu. Also added the same set of "Delete Price" menu commands as available in the top level menu.
- Improvement to price retrieve log file. Use INFO instead of WARNING when non-prices don't retrieve (splits, distributions, capital gains).
- Disabled the "View / Scale..." menu command and equivalent toolbar button when displaying an Income Schedule graph, as they are always auto-scale
- Improved "New Investment File Format" dialog box so you can read long path/filenames without scrolling
- Improved error handling on the "Open" dialog box, especially when selecting a very large number of investments to open at once
- Fixed issue where the clipboard contents could sometimes be erased when a dialog box was closed if the contents were copied from a rich edit control
- Fixed an issue where the cursor in the "Cost - Price" graph could sometimes snap off the cost line when split adjusted display was off
- Fixed issue where importing from Interactive Brokers (Generic) transfer in/out transactions of short positions was not working correctly
- Fixed bug where the OOP Cost Value would not be populated correctly for the Transfer In transactions created by the Transfer Between Wizard when the "Transfer Transactions OOP Calculations Use" option was set to "Market Value"
- Fixed bug where the Reconciliation Wizard would always show the option "Also Reconcile All Sub-Portfolios" upon initialization, regardless of the selected statement source. That option should only be displayed if the selected statement source supports that feature (currently OFX retrieve or OFX import).
- Fixed bug where clicking on a reinvestment transaction in the Investment Transaction report would open the investment in the Data Register, but wasn't selecting the clicked on reinvestment in the transaction list. Problem only applied to reinvestments.
- Fixed bug where the right mouse menu for "Category Labels..." in some reports was not working
- Fixed some issues with the right mouse menu in the "Monthly Performance" report
- Fixed a bug where the "Amortization" reinvestment/distribution type was not listed in the Importing Transaction Details dialog box
- Fixed bug where "Update Price / Single Investment - Repeat" was not refreshing the Data Register upon changes. Same for Update Price / Multiple Investments". The "Multiple Investments - Repeat" updates after dismissing dialog box.
