<p>Note that you are not moving the shares, you are moving the
transactions related to the shares (buy, sell, add, remove, ...)
I also believe that this does not actually give you completely
correct reporting for the account receiving the shares. It may be
a minor point, but to me it would seem odd that the funds to buy
the shares came from a Brokerage account for a different
investment account. Your memo does help with recognizing this,
but you HAVE altered the history. For me, though, it is more of a
problem for the original account. Money will have left that
account's brokerage account on the day the shares were purchased,
but without the shares being added, it just looks like a decrease
in the value of the account. I'm not really sure what the correct
accounting is in terms of reporting on gains and losses, but KMM
will not match the statements while the shares were actually held
in the original account. I think at this point it comes down to
what you are comfortable with.<br>

option would be to use the move option for the shares. This
retains the original information for the shares (purchase
date, quantity, price) and the reporting is correct. How I've
done this in the past is first I filtered the shares I wanted
to move by using the option at the top of the ledger. I would
add a note in the memo by editing the transaction stating the
move. My memo was something like, "Transferred shares on
February 14, 2022 from ABC Brokerage to XYZ Brokerage". I
copied and pasted this in order to simplify things a bit.
Next I would right click in the ledger the transaction
containing the shares to be moved, select "Move transaction
to" select the account they're going to and you're done. You
have to do this for each individual company and shares but it
keeps the reporting correct. </div>

But how about funds/shares? I can remove them from<br>

Hello Stefan,<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, there is no type of transaction to simply
transfer shares <br>
between two different investment accounts. The best way now
is just to <br>
use a "remove shares" and "add shares." As you noticed,
this does <br>
result in incorrect reporting. There is already an open bug
to track <br>
this issue: bug 328575. Unfortunately, I do not expect that
this will be <br>
addressed very soon, and it would probably be done as part
of a large <br>
revision of the entire handling of investments.<br>
