Hello Andy,

I have not looked in the code, but I think you probably found a real 
limitation.  Currently, the only sub-accounts of an investment account 
are those for the individual stocks/equities held in that investment 
account.  I don't know how difficult it would be to allow another 
investment account as a sub-account, but I can imagine it would require 
some reworking of the code.  If you're really interested, you could open 
a "wishlist" bug on bugs.kde.org so at least the request doesn't get 
forgotten.

To help our understanding of the situation, can you say why you want to 
have nested investment accounts?  Someone might also be able to suggest 
a reasonable workaround.
