investment value

[Alice Lee]

Gnucash is an accounting program.  Your investments should be at cost in an
accounting program.  If you have investments with Vanguard, you can set up
all your investments to be updated daily there as long as you have the
website and passwords for each one.  There may be other fund companies that
allow you to do this.  By the time you receive your statements, the market
value on that statement is history.  When you have reinvestments of
dividends or capital gains you would need to record those at cost in your
accounting program.

Subject: investment value

I have set up long term investment accounts that are managed stock and bond
and index funds. The value of these funds change as the market changes. 

I want to update the current market total value, monthly as I receive
statements. How would I make these adjustments? What accounts do I use to
show the increase or decrease in value?

 

Also, how do I handle additional investments or withdrawals?
