I don't know of a way to do this, but I give the accounts different names;
using your situation above, I call the brokerage account that holds S&P 500
Index shares "BRK-S&P 500", and the IRA entry would be "IRA-S&P500". I
don't know if this helps on the account page or not. I never really use the
account page in that way. A Roth fund with S&P 500 shares would be
"Roth-S&P 500", to continue the examples. I don't know if this will help or
not, but I provide it for what it's worth.
