Mutual Fund - Record DivRe Transaction

Considerations

Use this page to manually record a dividend reinvestment (DivRe) transaction for a mutual fund. GainsKeeper does not process cash distributions, such as interest income, cash dividends or capital gain distributions. Brokerage and mutual fund firms have an obligation to supply this information to you. If you do reinvest your dividends, they will be reported as dividend reinvestments (DivRe) by your fund company and correctly identified by GainsKeeper when you import transactions into the system. If you record transactions manually, please use the DivRe action type under Manually Record Trades - Mutual Fund.
