<p>IMO The ideal approach is to duplicate in Moneydance, as much as
possible, the structure of the buy out.</p></div>dwgtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/368605842015-06-01T15:08:33Z2015-06-01T15:08:33Zshare swap<div><p>If you could provide the details of the buy out I could better
advise how to account for it in Moneydance.</p>
<p>In general for a simple buyout, you would create an asset
account called pass thru. Do a sellxfer of the old security at the
cost basis into this account. Now transfer any cash payouts into
the account that received the funds. Now do a buyxfer back into the
investment account with the share count of the new security with
the total cost the amount left in the pass thru account. This will
keep the cost basis with your original investment.</p>
<p>If the buyout is more complex or if there are tax implications
you should consult your brokerage for the proper cost basis
handling of the buyout.</p>
