Thanks - selling/buying at the price of that day helped. 

The report calculates resonable values now. But now i have this fund two times 
within the report:
- Report of 2005: one for the old account and one for the new one (value: 0)
- Report of 2006: one for the new and one one for the old with their values 
each
- Report of 2007: the old one (value 0) and the new one

After closing the old investment fund and investment account i get:
- Report of 2005: one for the old account and one for the new one (value: 0) - 
same as above
- Report of 2006: only the new one 
- Report of 2007: only the new one

-> the values of 2006 for the closed account are ignored within the report. 

And the overall/summary report does only list the new account too. All sells 
and buys within the old investment account are ignored.

I would expect to get an summary in 2006 for booth acounts (as they reference 
the same investment fund) and that the overall report includes the old values 
of closed accounts too, as long as the stocks/funds or hold. But this may not 
be possible without a "real" transfer functionality....
