: This question has been raise quite sometime ago & I wondered whether any progress made on this issue.

: I have a share that is partly paid. There was an initial payment & now almost 10 years later I am required to pay final amount. The FM choices available seem to be I can "sell" this stock & "re-purchase" to reflect its new status. This however would create a complete distortion in returns data for what is one of my largest investments. The other option I thought of is, if I could treat this final payment as a reverse or minus dividend. This should create an accurate picture in graph & also yields? Will FM accept a minus dividend - or is there a better solution?

:

Hi Gary,

There have been no new developments to help with this. Fund Manager will accept a negative dividend, and this is exactly how the "account fee" distribution type is recorded. A negative distribution will be correctly factored into your yields.

Thanks,
Mark
