Same fund share swap - how to do in Qkn?

[Quicken Deluxe 2015 R3, on Vista Ultimate 32-bit w/SPII]

Our FI has swapped - in a Roth IRA account - a number of fund shares (1:1) from whatever they were to - if I remember correctly - their institutional class versions. The symbols change.

RC has always said look at events in real life, and THEN emulate in Quicken. However, I cannot find a Qkn Action that reflects what happened, so Share Reconcile window shows holdings that do not match between Qkn and FI.

I don't want placeholders as generated by Adjust Share Balance action, so...

1) Is the correct answer in Qkn to do a series of "Remove - Shares Removed" and "Add - Shares Added"?

2) If so, what happens to price history?

3) Regardless of answer to (2) above, does it matter, in that all this is happening inside a Roth IRA, where earnings distributions are qualified because IRA established more than 5 years ago by me, who passed the 59.5 year age eons ago?

Thanks for your guidance.

If I recall correctly, there's no "Corporate Acquisition" action in Deluxe. I think that you need Premier, or higher, for that action to be included.

SO, Shares Removed/Added is probably your only choice. re: price history, just make sure that the "costs" that you're removing are reflected in the " costs" that you're adding ... so that the Investment results over time (whe n including both securities) will still be accurate.

Thank you. I have just concluded the Remove/Add exercise.

Actually, the swap was not REALLY 1:1. Rather, they swapped in the new clas s shares in share numbers corresponding to the Remove value and new class N AV. It was aaaalmost 1:1, but not quite.

There is a Corporate Acquisition action in Qkn Deluxe, but these were funds . (?)

In any case, it would have saved me a lot of work if they had just Sold old

-class and Bought new-class! That's the net effect of the Remove/Add hullab aloo....

Again, many thanks for your reply and advice.

Use of the Mutual Fund Conversion transaction generates the necessary Remove Shares and Add Shares transactions. That would be a common recommendation.

A Mutual Fund is, legally, a corporation. That's why what you own are called "shares" of the fund. So Corp Acq would have still been appropriate.

And I had forgotten about the "Mutual Fund Conversion" action ... if that exists in Deluxe.

Hi, Dan.

I've never had occasion to use it (that I recall), but, YES, it is available in Quicken 2014 Deluxe. It's way down in the Enter Transaction listing, right after "Corporate Acquisition (Stock for Stock)".

As mentioned earlier I resorted to brute force before fully grasping the options. I didn't know about the Mutual Fund Conversion Tod reported and didn't think the Corporate Acquisition suggested earlier quite fit.

See? I don't know squat and always learn from this forum. THANKS!

Now I am ready for the next conversion, although I recall a coworker say that every time she learned the answers they changed the questions....
