Existing mutual fund shares occasionally get converted to a different class of shares. The resulting class typically has a different NAV, so the transaction ends up looking like:
2011-01-01 * "Mutual fund exchange: upgrade share class" Assets:Investments:Taxable:Vanguard-Pre-75305462 -35.0101 ABC_COMMON @@ 123.45 USD Assets:Investments:Taxable:Vanguard-Pre-75305462 7.3242 ABC_PREMIUM @@ 123.45 USD However, the problem here is, cost bases for the lots that make up the 35.0101 ABC_COMMON shares is lost. How can this be avoided? The "brute force" method, of course, is to manually convert every lot that makes up ABC_COMMON individually to a corresponding ABC_PREMIUM lot. Is this problem common enough that there is a feature to do this automatically? If not, what is the least painful way to accomplish this?
