: : : Mark,

: : : When I upgraded to 7.x I found that on my portfolio reports, for ROI (3y, 5y)changed. Previously if I had had an investment for say 1.5 years FM would put NA in the ROI(3y, 5y). Now with v7.0 and 7.1, FM puts the ROI (1y) value in both ROI (3y) and (5y). I am concerned that as a result the 3 and 5 year portfolio ROI is wrong.

: : Hi Cliff,

: : It may be that you have different interpolation range settings. There is an option to allow interpolation prior to the first recorded price. It may be that you have this on in 7.x, but had it off in 6.x? See "Options / Yields / Interpolation Range...". Also, you can re-open those investments in 6.x to compare the reported yield values. For the same interpolation range settings you should get the same numbers. Please let me know if this is not the case.

: Hello Mark,
: I have this issue too. It occurs when I do a "custom" portfolio report, but not on a "ROI" portfolio report. Everything seems fine on the "ROI" report; I get "N/A" if a ROI is not applicable. I checked the interpolation range, and I have both boxes unchecked, with the "step" box checked.
: Even when I play around, checking and unchecking the boxes, placing different amount of days in the enforce max. interpolation range, I still don't get the "n/a" when it should apply.
: Again, this happens on the "custom" portfolio report. All is fine on the graphs and on the "roi" portfolio report.
: Thanks,

Mark,

I was just about to write the same thing as Fred. It happens in custom reports but ROI report has the NA. In any case, can I assume that the portfolio yield is correct regardless is the investment has a value or NA?

Thanks//Cliff
