: Dear Mark,

: what type of yield should I use in a custom Report to get the yield of an investment fund for which I had to pay the load percentage plus transfer fees ? All yield calculations I have tried so far calculate based on the NAV when buying. So for instance I have bought shares @ 69.85 for a total of 74.45, the current price is 70.25 but the yields shows plus 23.75 % I would like to calculate the yield from buying day until today. Any suggestions ?

: Best regards

Hi Peter,
I didn't quite follow your example, but in
general you would use ROI yields. FP yields
only calculate the yield, based on the share
price/distributions. ROI yields include your
transactions. ROI yields do use your purchase/sell
price when incorporating your transactions, as
that is the price you paid. Another thing to note
is that all yields are annualized, so if you're
looking at a short time period, the yields may
seem bigger/smaller, due to extrapolation to a year.

Thanks,
Mark
