If a fund is assigned an investment strategy that has multiple accounts, then donations coming in and grants going out will reflect the same percentages.
Looking at the example in Step 4: If you receive a $1000 donation, $750 will go to the Investment Asset :: Edward Jones Investments account, and $250 will go to the Bank - Money Market account. When you run a balance swap, CommunitySuite will re-balance the fund to reflect the percentages that you define.
