2000-01-01 * Bought IPE
Assets:Investments:Broker:Shares:IPE 100 IPE {10.00 USD} [2000-01-01] @
10.00 USD
Assets:Investments:Broker:Cash -1000.00 USD
> The fund is shutting down and returning funds to the shareholders.
> Now, I still have the same amount of shares (100) but they are only worth

2019-04-01 * Return of capital
Assets:Investments:Broker:Cash 500.00 USD
Assets:Investments:Broker:Shares:IPE 100 IPE { 5.00 USD} [2000-01-01] @
5.00 USD
Assets:Investments:Broker:Shares:IPE -100 IPE {10.00 USD} [2000-01-01] @
5.00 USD
The only thing I'm not sure if the 2nd posting should be:
Assets:Investments:Broker:Shares:IPE 100 IPE { 5.00 USD} [2000-01-01] @
5.00 USD
or:
Assets:Investments:Broker:Shares:IPE 100 IPE { 5.00 USD} [2019-04-01] @
5.00 USD
i.e. what date should be associated with those shares. But I think
that's mostly a tax question. I suspect it should be the original
purchase date.
