It seems this email request has gone sideways a bit. The actual transactions are being handled by the financial institutions accordingly and reported to me in statements. I fully believe their accountants are following the proper Canadian financial security laws.
The crust of my request for assistance was how I could personally record these transaction into Gnucash; what steps or procedures does Gnucash have to allow the transfer, on the cost basis, of units between accounts in Gnucash. Any suggestions or hints on a path to follow is appreciated. -----Original Message----- From: gnucash-user <gnucash-user-bounces+hfoerster=shaw...@gnucash.org> On Behalf Of Michael or Penny Novack Sent: February 5, 2019 8:58 AM To: gnucash-user@gnucash.org Subject: Re: [GNC] Transferring portion of mutual fund account to another fund account On 2/4/2019 8:09 PM, David Carlson wrote: > If you are in the US and both funds are within the same custodial > account the answer is trivial, just sell one and buy the other.

The problem with questions of this sort is that while many of us here do know the answer (and "allowed" to use that knowledge for our own books, few if any of us hold the "credentials" allowing us to advise others. That's why we have to say "ask your accountant".
