[GNC] Do I treat a managed investment account as stocks, or no?

[Louise]

I have a managed investment account where I deposit funds monthly, and 
someone, or AI, decides what stocks to buy.

So far, in GnuCash, I have just been transferring my deposits to the 
appropriate account. When the dividends are paid out I have simple been 
allocating the amounts to a plain account per stock.

Should I be treating these "purchases" as stocks, or is this not necessary?

Thanks,

Louise.
