Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

With investments, you typically see a value which is the returns amount, as in, you have invested X but its worth Y due to growth. It would be good to have an investment account type which lets you track 2 values for it.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

It would be ideal to be able to track 2 different values over time in a unique account type, the book value, or the amount that has been invested or earned due to dividends. As well as the market value, which is the current value if you were to sell.

This would let you track, not only the amount you have invested, but also the growth or loss of it over time. This would most likely needing to track 2 different points at the same time. How often the user chooses to record the market value should be able to be determined by the user, and how much they care to track the overall net value of it.
