[GNC] Representing fund restructure in Gnucash

[Geoff]

Hi Peter

 From what you have said, the new security will inherit the old 
security's cost base.  So I would create a transaction to reduce the old 
one to zero and add the new quantity to the new one.  Blank out the 
price and put in the cost base as the value - GnuCash will calculate the 
price.

Screenshot #1 attached shows an example where "BHP" is the old security, 
and "CBA" is the new security.

Hope this helps.

Geoff
