: : : I have some stripped bonds in my portfolio. Each month as they get closer to maturity they incresase in value. How would I be able to relect the increased value of these bonds using Fund Manager, so that the total value of my portfolio is accurate? : : : Thanks
: : : Dave : : Hi Dave, : : Value is simply the # of shares you own, times the share price. So,
: : depending on how you recorded your bonds, you would either need to increase
: : the share price, or the number of shares. To change the share price, just
: : use "Edit / Update Price". : : Thanks,

: : : Thanks Mark....
: However, when I initially entered the bonds I used a price of $1 and the number of shares represented the the purchase value of the bonds. I would like to edit the number of shares which would give me the current value, however, when I go to edit/udate price it doesn't give me a choice to increase the number of shares. Is there another way to increase the number of shares? Perhaps it would work better if I had initally entered the number of shares as 1 and the price as the initial cost of the bond. : thanks
: Dave Hi Dave, Each month you could enter a new reinvested interrest income distribution.
You would keep the $1 price, and enter the number of shares equal to the
amount of increase in value. Share balances are adjusted with buy/sell transactions. You can use
"Edit / All Data..." and select the "Investments (all)" data type. You
will see your transactions there, and you can add/edit/delete them. To record a reinvested distribution, just right mouse click on the
investment's graph and choose "Distribution..." from the popup menu. You
can also use the "Edit / All Data..." dialog, and select "Distributions (all)"
under the data type. Click the "New..." button. Thanks,
Mark
