Yes, OFX shows 3 transactions. Maybe my biggest problem was not having 
the KMM accounts set up correctly, but the problem was that the fees 
showed up in the investment account as "buy shares" with weird values.
If I understand correctly, the standard "fees" are filled up when my 
broker (Schwab) charges me fees - but in this case the fee was charged 
by someone down the line (ADR) so they show it to me as separate 
transactions. Ideally, I'd want all of these to be merged into a single 
transaction in KMM (which I did manually while fixing my old data).
I wanted to create a dummy Investment+Brokerage account to see if it 
works properly together with OFX, but I couldn't associate the online 
account with it for some reason - it just keeps saying "no suitable 
accounts found"
