I don't know of any such views.

You could make your watch account to be not a watch account
temporarily. You could also copy your file to a new name, delete
your real accounts in that file, and use that file just for this
analysis.

The MRU (most recently used) list at the bottom of the File menu can
be used to switch between the files.

Thanks for your quick reply. I'm really trying to get a handle on my asset
allocation. Here's what I've done:

I've created a fund, with no symbol, called CHET Agressive Managed Asset
Allocation Option. Then I've gone ahead and set up a watch account containing
the 5 TIAA-CREF funds (TINRX, TIERX, TCREX, TIORX, TCILX), invested in their
appropriate percentages. Now, I was hoping to be able to run an Asset
Allocation report for the Watch account, take the results, and plug them into
the fund I created. However, it doesn't appear that watch accounts are
provided as an option for the Asset Allocation report. Are there any other
known views to get this data? The Asset Allocation View in the Portfolio
Manager doesn't have columns for large cap, mid cap, etc. Otherwise, I guess
I'll have to grab the data for each fund individually and total it myself.

Thanks for your time,
Brian

It would be possible, but probably way too tedious, to find the
constituents and manually enter a bunch of buys and sells,
distributions, of the underlying funds, as well as the "Program
Manager Fee and the State Fee"
<http://www.aboutchet.com/ourplan/fees.html> . So for most people,
there is no practical way.

Even that sounds like more work than it's worth. I would just enter
the Buys, Sells, distributions, and I would enter the prices
occasionally if they actually give you a price figure.

Default Working with Managed Allocation Funds

Are there any recomendations for working with managed allocation funds that
don't have ticker symbols, but are made of up funds that do. For example, I
have a CHET 529, which has as one of its options an "Agressive Managed
Allocation Fund". That fund is actually comprised of a set of TIAA-CREF Funds
(Equites, International Equity, Real Estate, etc.) which do have ticker
symbols. Is there any way to set up this mapping, or should I just manually
configure the asset allocation for the "wrapper" fund?

Regards,
Brian
