Bug? in "advanced portfolio"

[Wouter van Marle]

Hi all,

I've started playing with GnuCash 1.9.5, and ran into something strange
when running an "advanced portfolio" report. The amounts seem rather OK
to me (a big improvement from 1.8.11 which is a big mess), but not
completely correct I think.
My report is denominated in HK$ (my local currency).
The mutual funds are in EUR or US$.
Unfortunately I do not have documentation available (it just isn't
there; I installed from the tarball), so I don't know exactly what is
what. We have a.o.:
- Basis: I don't know what this is. Maybe the value of the shares owned
now, at the price when purchased? Seems so. Varies with the currency
exchange rate, not with the fund price.
- Value: the current value, in HK$. Varies with the fund price and the
currency exchange rate.
- Money in: should be the amount of money we invested. Changes with the
currency exchange rate, not with the fund price. And that's not good I
think: if I put in $1000 now, the value "money in" is not going to
change, even when the EUR doubles and the USD halves in value.

The problem that I still have is that I don't manage to transfer money
from a HKD account to a USD or EUR denominated mutual fund (or stock for
that sake). I have to transfer from HKD to USD resp EUR and then on to
the mutual fund - I haven't managed to do it in any other way.

Wouter.
