Gene's right, you will own a percentage of the entire value of the club. Even though Lynn and I both have suggested treating your club membership
within Quicken as if it were a mutual fund, you should be aware of one VERY
SIGNIFICANT difference between your partnership interest in the investment club
and a mutual fund. If you take a partial withdrawal from the club, you will
surrender units equal in value to the cash you are withdrawing. However, unlike
a mutual fund redemption, this is not a taxable transaction until the amount
withdrawn exceeds your cost basis (denoted Paid In Plus Earnings [PIPE] on
member status reports). You might want to look through Quicken's help files to
see if they have a method for tracking an investment in a partnership.
