The account number for this sub-portfolio. |

Default Cash Account |
This setting allows you to define an investment to be a "cash
account" for this sub-portfolio. A valid choice is also "(none)", such that
there is no cash account in use. Once a cash account is identified the
selected investment will automatically be debited or credited with the
proceeds from recorded transactions for investments in this sub-portfolio.
For example, assume investment "B" is defined as the default cash account.
Investment "A" belongs in this sub-portfolio. When a purchase of
$1,000 in investment "A" is recorded, an associated redemption for $1,000 in
investment "B" will also automatically be recorded. There are three types of
transactions that will generate an associated transaction in the cash
investment: purchases, redemptions, and distributed distributions. This
option is intended to help maintain a relatively constant portfolio value,
such that a more accurate picture of portfolio performance can be observed.
(Related Tip: Often a cash account is kept at a constant $1 share price,
such as in the case of a money market or savings account. Record purchases,
redemptions, and distributions in a cash account just like any other
investment, but keep the share price constant at $1 while adjusting the
number of shares.) |
