It is divided like any other property, by when it was acquired and with what funds. As with any other investment account, it may be mixed, if income during the marriage, plus income before marriage or after separation are used to fund it. It can get kind of complicated if there was money in it before marriage and then more put in after, and there have been purchases and sales of securities in the account.
