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

[Adrien Monteleone]

I would think one of the main benefits of a managed fund is to not track 
individual stock performance!

You're free to do so according to your own tolerance for pain.

Personally, I'd just treat it as a single fund.

There might be an exception if you also own one or more of those stocks 
independent of the fund and want to track overall performance just for 
your own info and peace of mind. But that might be better left for a 
spreadsheet or other outside app. The real-world transactions you commit 
are via the fund.

Adrien
