You may have recently imported data from the Classic MSN or my.msn.com  pages to the new MSN.com Money Watchlist/Portfolio and may not have received all of your Watchlist/Portfolio data. The MSN team has resolved the issue and you can now regain access to that information by following the steps below.

Note: These steps only apply if your Watchlist has already been imported and there is data missing. If you have not already imported a Watchlist, please go to the Watchlist, sign in, and you will then be prompted to begin the import. You may need to return to this step if you find that data is missing after your first attempt to import.

Step 1: Create a new Watchlist and delete any Watchlists from previous imports

Step 2: Re-import your existing Watchlist or Portfolio data from MSN.com or my.msn.com into a new Watchlist

Step 3: Clean any erroneous data imported into your new Watchlist(s).

If you need more details about the steps, please go to this article.

If you are still having difficulties or would like to report any errors, please reply to this thread.

Thank you!

    Hello everyone,

    I would like to address some of the issues that users have reported regarding the old MSN Money Portfolio Manager not updating content such as Latest News for companies, RSS feeds, etc. As MSN has been updated to a new system, we retired some existing offerings that are being replaced in the new platform and effective October 11, the old MSN site was officially retired. That is why some of the content in the Portfolio Manager is not updating and in some cases users might be getting redirected to the new MSN site.

    The product team has not yet retired the existing Portfolio Manager to prevent customers who are unable to import their data from losing access to the data. After issues with importing data from the old Portfolio Manager have been addressed, that site will be retired. In the meantime, please keep reporting any import issues you find.

    Thank you,

    Adriana

    Adriana - I am still unable to import any of my data from the old moneycentral.msn.com portfolio manager.  I do not get a popup asking me to import old data.  I have tried about everything I have seen on the site and also spoken with support via phone - although they directed me back to the same webpages.  As best I can tell from the threads, you are my best hope to retrieve my data. . . I should add that I was able to access my portfolio last night, but cannot today - I get a message saying that my browser cannot connect to moneycentral.msn.com.  It did so last night. . . .

    And then this morning the old portfolio manager came back up and imported to the new format - sort of.  The account names are correct in the watchlist, but the holdings and, from what I can tell, the transactions are incomplete.  Is there a way to transfer, or even print if I have to, ALL of the data in the old portfolio manager, including individual transactions?

    I think the new portfolio manager is horrible. I have been a supporter of Microsoft since the early days of Windows and cannot believe that they are changing to an inferior product. I would hit the Print Portfolio button every day to keep a record of my portfolio. That does not exist on the new Portfolio Manager. If you try to print, you get endless pages of info you don't need. The only way to print is to highlight the info you want and use a screen capture program. That is insane.  Why can't they just leave the old portfolio manager up?  I don't care if the news is not updated. I can get that elsewhere. Please pass this on to your superiors.  Thank you.
