: : Hi Mark,

: : When I use the graph option "Portfolio/Investment overlay: Price+Distributions" the garph give me a YTD portfolio performance ratio number which is different (i.e. always higher value) from the one given in %Gain-V in the option "Reports:Portfolio performance" (YTD option).

: : Do you have an explanation?

: Hi Lang,

: These 2 are not the same. The %Gain-V is just (end value - beg value)/(beg value).

: If you invested money in the middle, it will make your %Gain-V big. The

: portfolio overlay / Price + Dist graphs plot the change due to share price

: and distributions, not change in value. If you would like to see these

: match, use the "Portfolio/Investment Overlay / Value" graph instead. You

: will need to adjust the start date of the graph to 1 day earlier than the

: start of the Portfolio Performance report, as the report uses the close

: of the prior day for its beginning value.

: Thanks,

: Mark

Hi Mark,

In a report, what return formula should I use to compute the YTD performance of any stock bought during the YTD period as well as the YTD portfolio performance.

Thanks & regards

Lang Tu
