Yes it is a total transfer as if I had a basket of widgets in my kitchen, picked it up and placed it in my neighbor's kitchen. The widgets didn't change, only the storage location. I'm able to log into the new broker's website and see the entire history of each fund since I first purchased

If it's truly some kind of rollover, Gnucash does allow an exchange of shares without a price. But I don't know how you'd keep the cost basis in the new account. On Wed, Jul 5, 2023 at 5:49 PM David Carlson wrote: > AC, > > Yes, to keep GnuCash happy you want to transfer the cost basis as well

AC, Yes, to keep GnuCash happy you want to transfer the cost basis as well as the securities to the new brokerage account. By entering the transactions as a sale at the same price that you purchased the the security and a new purchase at that same price, you are transferring the cost basis,

Answering two at once: Fred: No I did not work in split view. I was just working at the single account level. David: Are you saying I need to instruct GnuCash to treat the transfer as a sale even though there was no sale thus no realized gains/losses and no actual change in the cost basis?

AC, Fred implied, but didn't elaborate on the point that the shares in the original brokerage account had a cost basis that was incurred when they were purchased. When you transfer them out, that is equivalent to a sale or closing transaction, and the cost basis should be adjusted accordingly,

I recently moved some mutual funds from one brokerage to another. The process did not involve a sale, it was just a transfer of control from the old to the new. In my current books I keep mutual funds listed as subaccount under each brokerage as such with their respective security/currency:
