Overview
With Investment Transactions, you can now manage the individual transactions for your investments, including the ability to perform Transfers to and from your Investment Accounts, as well as the ability to track commissions on buys and sells.
Things to Note:
Investment Transactions are only available in individual Investment Accounts; you will not see Investment Transactions in the Investments section.
Investment Transactions do not interact with your Investments Portfolio or Account Balances in any way. These are designed to be a behind-the-scenes type of scenario that allows you to manage and track your individual investment transactions without impacting your actual Portfolio Value. Your Portfolio Value is determined by the holdings displayed in the Investments section; more details on using the Investments section can be found here.
Investment Transaction Categories are limited to investing actions only. If you'd like to add a cash Investment Transaction, you may do so by using the 'Payment/Deposit' Type.
At this time, the only Investment Transactions that can be included in Reports are "cash flow" types, such as 'Payment/Deposit'. Investment Transactions will not be included in Watchlists or the Spending Plan at this time.
Managing Investment Transactions
Although Investment Transactions should download when you connect your Investment Accounts in Simplifi, you can also easily add and edit transactions manually!
Note: The ability to add attachments to Investment Transactions, include Investment Transactions in Reports, Watchlists, and the Spending Plan, as well as Import and Export Investment Transactions, are currently not available. However, we are working on adding these abilities!

Performing Transfers To and From Investment Accounts
With Investment Transactions, you can now perform Transfers to and from your Investment Accounts! To do so, you'd select the sending/receiving account for the Category of the transactions, just as with any regular Linked Transfer.
To do so from the Investment Account directly, you'll want to select Payment/Deposit for the Type, and then select the other account for the Category. Please see our Support Article here for more details on using Transfers in Simplifi.
