Look at the title of that pop-up: "Exchange Rate/Price Editor". It is
asking for the price per share of AGMM. I agree it may not be as
obvious or clear as it should be. You did say this was a Money Market,
in which case, it may just be 1ZAR per 1 AGMM. That would make sense
if increases/decreases in the value of your investment were done by
adding or subtracting shares, or with interest or dividend payments.
Out of curiousity - what type of transaction are you trying to enter?
Is ZAR your base currency and is it the currency specified for this
account?
