Martin Preuss is working on getting aqbanking 3 up and running. When I 
was digging around in aqbanking looking for the FiId field, I didn't see 
evidence of the investment handling being added yet, but that isn't a 
surprise. I'm guessing cstim would have to have time and interest in 
order for investment handling to make it in before mid to late summer.

It shouldn't be really hard. Just handling the same fields that libofx 
does now should bring it up to what gnucash has for file imports, but it 
would take an understanding of how to fit those into the aqbanking 
structure (without irritating Martin by distracting him from the 
aqbanking 3 development...).

Clearly beyond my capabilities at this point.
