My formatting was messed up - what you describe is what I was looking to do.
I've got several mutual funds and so there's lots of editing to get them added
to the security list, plus create multiple individual accounts. It sounds like
that's just what it takes.
Is there any way to cut down on he number of accounts shown when you enter a
transaction and specify the source account? Mine shows all the accounts in a
flat list which is already pretty long.
Thanks for your help.

I probably should have added that in my case all of the index funds are only
held in one of the categories, but I see no reason why some fund could not be
held in more that one category.
e.g. Index fund 1 and Index fund 8 could both be the same mutual fund. There
would only be one entry for it in the Gnucash's Security Editor.

I probably don't understand exactly how you are proposing to set it up, but I
can show you how I have mine set up.
Fund Manager A (e.g. Fidelity, Vanguard, other)
Fund Manager A - IRA
Index fund 1 (e.g. a single mutual index fund)
Index fund 2 (e.g. another mutual index fund)
Fund Manager A - Trust
Cash Account
Index fund 3
Index fund 4
Fund Manager B (e.g. Fidelity, Vanguard, other)
Fund Manager B - IRA
Index fund 5 (e.g. a single mutual index fund)
Index fund 6 (e.g. another mutual index fund)
Fund Manager B - Trust
Cash Account
Index fund 7
Index fund 8
etc

I'm a new user trying to setup gnucash to track investments. I've read through
the documentation, googled etc, but haven't really seen this addressed, so want
to make sure I'm not missing something.
Say I have multiple mutual funds, FUNDA, FUNDB, FUNDC etc. And I have a
brokerage account with several accounts - IRA, Spouse IRA, Non IRA etc.
I think my account list should look like:Investments Brokerage
Brokerage - non IRA Mutual Funds FUNDA
FUNDB
Brokerage - IRA
Mutual Funds FUNDA FUNDB
Brokerage - Spouse IRA Mutual Funds FUNDA
FUNDB
To create that I need to use the Security Editor to createthen for
each created fund, create multiple sub-accounts for each brokerage account that
holds that fund.
I think I need the separate sub-accounts so I can do reports that sub-total
share count and value based on the fund name, but it seems like a lot of
editing. Also creating all these sub-accounts seems like over time will make
the account list very difficult to scroll through to select accounts for
source/destinations of future transactions.
Any guidance in how to set this up, or pointers on where to read up more on
this would be appreciated.Thanks,
Dave
