Hi Roderick,

Are you talking about the number in parenthesis in the legend of the
portfolio value graph? If so, this is the change in value of all your
investments from the ending graph date to the prior day. Could your
ending graph date not be set correctly?

To check the values, and see what is going on you can create a custom
report with the "Value (beginning" and "Value (ending" fields selected.
Set the date range of this custom report such that both the beginning
and ending dates are equal, and are the same as your ending graph date.
The difference between these two values should equal the number in
parenthesis. This will also give you a breakdown of the value of each
investment, so you can see how it is being calculated.

Thanks,
Mark
