<p>When you buy or sell investments in an investment account, you can account for the cash transfers in the related Cash Transactions register. You can enter transactions without tracking where the cash is transferred to or from, but your records will not be complete. Money can remind you to fill in the <emph>Transfer</emph> field to account for these funds.</p>
