“I have used Captools for Windows Individual Investor to monitor my several portfolios for the last fifteen years. When the Captools Company decided earlier this year to no longer support this longstanding reliable product, I looked around to see if a predecessor could be found. Up until recently no company that I researched offered a simple and easy way of converting my voluminous Captool files to their format. That is, until QUANT IX SOFTWARE tendered its BetterInvesting's Portfolio Manager with Captool file import and conversion capability. The file transfer process was quick and painless and I am happy to report full agreement between the Captools and BetterInvesting Portfolio Manager Capital Gains, Interest Income and Taxable Dividends Reports. Additionally, the user interface was sharp, clear and amply supplied with links for analyzing and keeping my portfolios up to date. I highly recommend it to the serious individual investor. Thanks again and on behalf of all the Captools users out there, WELL DONE." -Tom H.
With the recent decision by Captools® Investment Software to no longer support their programs for the individual investor, BetterInvesting Portfolio Manager has been modified to now offer an import feature for Captools investment data. This import feature allows the conversion of the most common investment transactions from Captools Investment Software into the BetterInvesting Portfolio Manager v5.
If you are currently using Portfolio Manager v5, open your copy of Portfolio Manager and select the Check For Updates choice located on the menu bar. You’ll be prompted to download, if necessary, the latest maintenance release for Portfolio Manager which will include the latest revisions for the Captools import feature.
If you are not yet using Portfolio Manager v5, try our FREE demonstration program. The demo is fully interactive and includes tutorials with a variety of sample data that enables you to thoroughly review Portfolio Manager’s many features. The demo also includes the Captools® Investment Software import feature for your use.
Detailed instructions for the Captools import feature is provided in the Portfolio Manager help topic system. You’ll find these instructions by selecting the Help Menu | Contents | Portfolio Manager Online Manual | Chapter 10: Importing Captools Data.
