I.e., instead of “…:FUND 1:Capital Gain” and “…:FUND 1 Fee / Commission” you used “…:Capital Gain:FUND 1” and “…:Fee / Commission:FUND 1”.  The important thing is that the leaf account name “FUND1" be the same in the income/Expense and Asset accounts.  I know you may not like this, but this is the way the APR expects things to be set up.  I think your reinvested dividends example might work better in this case.  I know I’ve tested that sort of transaction and it works fine, although I can’t guarantee that my example is exactly the same as yours would be in that case.

If it’s working now, fine.  Changing the hierarchy might help the report associate income and expenses with the correct fund.  If it is doing that correctly now, then there is no need to make any changes.
