How do I reconcile an investment account statement?

When you receive a statement from your broker, you can clear each transaction that appears on your statement and then adjust the transaction list if necessary. You can reconcile investment and mutual fund accounts in the same way as you do a checking account, except that in a checking account, you reconcile a cash balance, and in an investment account, you reconcile a cash balance and share balance.

  1. Open the account that you want to reconcile.
  2. Click 
     (the Account Actions icon), and then choose Reconcile.
  3. Using information from your account statement, fill in the starting and ending cash or share balances, as well as the statement date.
    • Tell me more
  4. Click OK.
  5. For each transaction that appears on your statement, click the corresponding transaction in the on-screen list. At the end of this process, the difference in the lower-right corner of the window should be zero.
    • Tell me more
  6. Click Done when all the transactions on your statement have been marked.
