Fund companies do that pretty often. I usually treat it the same as a merger by transferring x shares of the old fund to y shares of the new one at book value of the old shares. That transfers the basis so that you can easily calculate the capital gain when you sell. The Advanced Portfolio Report doesn’t. Know how to follow those changes though so it won’t correctly report the income from the fund, but it won’t hurt the net-worth charts. The other way that would preserve the APR income reports but takes a lot more work to maintain the net worth calculation is to change the symbol on the security and the name of the security, then adjust all of the purchase and sale quantities and prices to the new fund symbol.
