Seems that Query.PortfolioTypes is type of PWServiceProxy.PortfolioTypes i.e. enum.

So you need to

Query.PortfolioTypes = PortfolioTypes.Funded;

or

string str = "Funded"; // or something else
PortfolioTypes pt;
if (Enum.TryParse(str, out pt))
    Query.PortfolioTypes = pt;
else
    throw new Exception("Can't parse input as PortfolioTypes");

Assuming PortfolioTypes is an enum with the name YourEnumType try this :

Query.PortfolioTypes = (YourEnumType) Enum.Parse(typeof(YourEnumType), "Funded", true);
