Mutual fund number of shares?

My mutual fund number of shares increase once or twice a year due to dividends, etc.

How may I keep the old number of shares and the new number of shares to accurately track my annual return %?

I guess you could have your dividends paid in cash or have them invested in another fund if you fund family allows it. I think you are putting too much emphasis on being able to calc you individual return. Look at what the fund is doing and don't jump in and out trying to time the market. Over time your return and the fund's return will be almost the same.

If I understand the question...if you were to find annual return % that would be the NAV at beginning of year and NAV at end of calendar year....subtract the 2 values for shares gain. Then the NEW shares that were purchased with dividends can be added to your gain at end of year's NAV.
If you wanted to keep SAME NUMBER OF SHARES (Why?) just sell of the number of shares to keep at OLD number of shares.
