Hi all,
I have a serious issue with multi-currency work.
The situation:
I have an investment account, that has mutual funds in both USD and EUR.
My bank account is in HKD. I have set the exchange rates USD-HKD and
EUR-HKD.
I have now:
-- Assets
-- AIA mutual funds
-- EUR funds
-- Fund 1
-- Fund 2
-- USD funds
-- Fund 3
-- Fund 4
-- Checking account
Now I add shares to the funds, some denomitated in USD, some in EUR. The
parent account gets nicely calculated (I assume correctly, haven't
checked it manually - the value at least looks reasonable) in HKD.
However: the purchase of these funds goes wrong. I enter the number of
shares, and the value in the share's currency, the money is transferred
from the checking account that of course is set to HKD. However if I
enter say USD 1000 for the shares purchase, then it deducts HKD 1000
from the checking account, and not the about $7800 it should be after
conversion. The whole conversion does not seem to take place.
How can I fix this?
Wouter.
