; Note that you can record dividends with a three-posting transaction, which will yield simpler account structure:

; 2014-12-31 Initial Deposit
; Equity:Opening -722.40
; Assets:Cash
;
; 2014-12-31 Buy Royal Bank of Canada @ 71.74
; Assets:Trading:RY 10 RY @ 71.74
; Assets:Cash -722.40
; Expenses:Fees 5.00
;
; 2015-01-22 0.75 Dividend
; Assets:Cash 7.50
; Assets:Trading:RY 0
; Income:Dividend:RY
;
; 2015-04-21 0.77 Dividend
; Assets:Trading:Cash 7.70
; Assets:Trading:RY 0
; Income:Dividend:RY
;
; and so on. And then ROI could be computed thusly:
;
; hledger -f examples/roi-unrealised.ledger roi --inv Assets:Trading:RY -b 2015-01-01 -e 2019-01-01 --pnl Income --yearly --value=then
