Dear Sean and all others on the list,

today I realised that there is already a bug in the price calculation of 
mutual funds in Moneydance 587.
In the past the bank fee was not calculated into the price of a mutual 
fund but in the basic costs of the mutual fund. Now the price includes 
the fee - and this is misleading.

My example:
2.11.07 Mutual fund 0,466 shares 60 EUR 126,223176 EUR price 1,18 EUR fee
The price by shares represents 58,82 EUR.

Today I realised the following behaviour:
15.02.08 Mutual fund 1,337 shares 63 EUR 45,714286 EUR price 1,88 EUR fee
The price by shares represents 63 EUR.

But if I want to sell the mutual fund the price is 44,27 EUR (18.2.08).

Now if I look at the price history:
14.2. 44,34
15.2. 45,71428571
18.2. 44,27

This looks really strange.

Hope this can be fixed in Moneydance 2008!


Marc
