That may have worked except the account I was transferring into already
existed. So I undid the transfer, merged, and reentered a few lost
transactions. Thanks anyway. I would not have minded the performance
starting over, but the numbers were all wrong. Even though the fund had lost
value from both the beginning of the year and the date of transfer, the
"total return year to date" was showing a positive return.

They do maintain basis with that method, but performance starts

If you don't want that, restore a backup to before you did the
transfers. Pick a new name so as to not overwrite the file you have
been working with.

Disable online access for the old account. Change the name and
account number to match the new account. Set up the account for the
new FI for online access if used.

Go with the file you like better.

In Money 2006 Deluxe I moved all shares of a mutual fund from one investment
account to another following the instruction for transferring holdings. The
resulting transactions were transfer out and transfer in. Now performance
reports are inaccurate. Even though the transfer was after the first of the
year and the fund has lost value since either event, the total return year to
date column in the portfolio manager shows a positive rate of return. The
annualized return is rediculously high. Any explanations? Such transfers
should maintain basis and performance.
