Hi

I have monthly reoccurring investments into a security (Monthly ETF investment). Brokerage fees are charged with every investment. When using the Investment Performance report, the report does not take the transaction fees into account when calculating performance values. Hence the results are a reflection of the security's performance and not my investment's performance.

Is there a way to achieve the latter?

I enter all transactional fees into the split of the purchase transaction. One way that I can think of to achieve what I require is to inflate the purchase price to include the transaction fees, but I do not prefer doing it this way as I will loose traceability of my transaction fees.

Hi

Anybody out there that finds this as an issue or who has a work around, or am I missing something obvious?

Hello. I just started using KMyMoney so I'm not 100 pct sure how you would handle this. I am answering however because if I recall correctly in Quicken, which I used to use for years, you had to split the transaction as well. Though if the transaction was always the same it could just be automated.

As long as the split-out fees were classified as a liability account, as most fees and interest are, I would think that the report would be right?

You can probably get the definitive answer from the project's homepage:

Good luck!

Thank You dequire.

This is exactly the issue. The transaction form has got all the split fields for both Interest and Fees built in. I do use these splits to capture fees and the transaction total in the form does reflect the value of Purchase price + Fees.

But when I run an Investment performance report, kmm will tabulate amongst other things, values "Buys" and "Amount" for the various accounts.

Buys will be a sum of the purchase prices (No Fees) and amount is the current investment value. KMM will then use these values to calculate Return on Investment an Annualized Return.
