: From September 1990 until June 1996 I made contributions of varying amounts to my deferred compensation. Over the years I changed the investments (all were Mutual Funds) within my account a number of times. I input all of the investments, reinvestments and fees treating all of this as if it was a money market account (each share = $1.00). During the period September 99 to August 03 I withdrew the funds in monthly increments. The withdrawals and fees were treated as if this were a money market account (each share = $1.00).

: My question is, would the resulting return figures be a realistic estimate of how my deferred compensation account had performed?

Hi George,

How do you handle showing the increase in value? If you always treat it
like a cash account, and maintain the price at $1, it would seem your
value would always equal the amount of money you invested, minus the amount
you've taken out. It wouldn't be reflecting any gains the shares may have
had... Did you do something else to account for this?

Thanks,
Mark
