: : I am confused (as usual :))by the Distr number I am getting on the Investment Performance Reporet. My initial investment was $34,405.12 and I had 2 distributions (reinvested) totaling $290.71. The report is giving 0.42 under the Distribution column. Shouldn't it be $290.71? Also, it is showing the Beg Nav as being interpolated, but the number is the actual buy price. Why is it showing as interpolated? I thought it only interped when a number was not availble on a given day.

: : Thanks

: Hi John,

: In this report, values are all on a "per share" basis. The Distribution column
: shows distributions in per share values. So, you may have received
: $290.71, but owned about 692 shares. This would give a per share distribution
: of 0.42. This 0.42 figure directly relates to the share price figures, so
: you can see relatively speaking how much the investment paid in distributions.

: The price from the beginning report date is actually obtained from the
: closing of the prior day. So, if your report started on 4/1, you would
: need to have a price recorded on 3/31, or else it will be interpolated.
: The "beginning" price is the price as of the start of the beginning report
: date, not the price at the end of the day on the report start date.

: Thanks,
: Mark

Mark,
Thank you for your prompt replies. If I understand you right about the start date of a report, for example:
I bot shares on 2/4/02 so I set the report start date to 2/5/02 to avoid Interp. There is not asterisk now. Essentially, I need to start my report dates one day later than the buy day - right?
