Generating an expense report for a mutual fund account

[Robert Ramsdell]

When you sell the shares, aren't you transferring the proceeds to an
expense account (Expenses:Investment Fees:Mutual Funds or some such)?
If so then just run your report on that account.

If you are not doing this, then what are you doing with proceeds of
these sales?
