anyone else having trouble getting full view to update vanguard the last week or so ?
 
I've had issues with all of my non-fido accounts on full view at one time or another. Often it's just waiting. Other times, if I go back in and re-enter the password, it resolves itself.
 
I complained about the Full View to my Fido rep and he wasn't particularly complimentary of it. I do use it to get the total nw occasionally but the three accounts outside Fido are either manually edited by me or don't move that much that a manual insert of the password is that much of a pain.
 
I do not use Fidelity Full View but I believe it uses the same platform as Yodlee. On Yodlee, some pages update and others do not. I have told them about it but nothing changes.

This inconsistent handling of the data does not raise my confidence about accuracy and security. So far Personal Capital, which I am testing, seems to be working well. Much better for account information. Slightly weaker for tracking expenses.
 
I had to play with it several times this morning and finally got all VG accounts to update. It takes a few minutes to for the update to show in the regular portfolio view. However it is much better for us, where I can see all of our Fido and VG accounts. VG doesn't show all the external accounts and prohibits viewing of non-joint accounts unless they have a notarized agent agreement. Thus, Fido is my one stop shop for viewing all of our banks and investment accounts and doing an analysis in one place.

BTW, I had to re-enter credentials a few times to get it fixed. It seems to somehow not take the password correctly or the security question changes.

Go into full view and look at account summary. On the line with your Vanguard account, click settings. A window will pop up. Just under "account nickname" click "edit Credentials". A new window will pop up with your Vanguard account ID and password. Mine was still filled out from when I put this account in full view and all I had to do was click update. That did the trick. I have to do that from time to time with other accounts as well.
 
On a similar note:
I always wondered comparing retirement calculator results FIDO vs VG.

VG Financial Engines constantly show ~5% off portfolio and FIDO actually shows low end ~3%

Anybody noticed this?
 
Full View has great potential but is very finicky, in my experience, so I don't look at it that often.

fidelity is a bit tougher. it inflates healthcare costs at 5.50% and long term care costs the same. it used to inflate healthcare by 7.50% but it has come down .

fidelity also goes for a 90% success rate based on monte carlo simulations and not historical .

fidelity uses a variable inflation rate too based on a few different parameters . .
 
fidelity said they finally found the issue . if you use the new experimental view at vanguard it will not work with full view . you have to go back to the original view . just tried it and it works

How do you switch back to the old view?
 
in vanguard there was a prompt at the top left that said switch back to old view
