Time-weighted Return Report shows ROI data

[Tom Kehrwald]

For some reason when I try to generate a Time-weighted Return I get a report with the correct header but with the ROI report contents. I am using the latest modules. The ROI report works properly and shows the same data.

Hi Tom,

Why do you believe the contents are from the ROI report? The TWR and ROI will be the same if you haven't added/removed money within the yield term.

Hi Mark,

I confused myself about the TWR report, which I have not used in some time. Your explanation in the Help section is right on. I apologize for raising a concern.

I am trying to analyze my decisions within a portfolio where distributions are a factor. I realize a key problem is how one thinks about and handles re-investment of distributions. For the overall portfolio this is not so much of a problem - portfolio performance report with a wide enough time frame is sufficient. When one looks deeply at the implications of a specific decision it becomes harder. For example perhaps I can compose a custom report which include distribution data and yield like the portfolio report but with line items for each tax lot?
