how to reflect investment management fees so that they show in the advanced portfolio report

[Steve Nospam]

I spent a bunch of time on this and I finally came up with a solution that works for my implementation.
Create a management fee mutual fund and a management fee fund account then:
1. In a split, sell from the money market mutual fund for the amount of the management fee.2. Buy the same amount in the brokerage account3. In a separate split transaction, sell the management fee in the brokerage account4. Add an entry for the management fee mutual fund without a buy or sell amount
5. Buy the management fee amount in the account expenses:investment expenses (these show up as brokerage fees in the Advanced Portfolio report)
Your chart of accounts will probably be different.

 I'd imagine this would depend on how you want to apply the charges. Should
they be parceled out to the different stocks in the account on a percentage
basis? Perhaps based upon the value of each position in the account? If that
was what you wanted to do, it would could be done in the way dividends can
be "attached" to a particular investment, as detailed in the following

I use this technique with dividends, capital gains, etc. that are
distributed by mutual funds and stocks, and it works nicely.
