: I am in the evaluation period and have loaded most of my historical data. Everything seems to be working well with the exception of one quirk which I can't figure out.

: I have two sub-portfolios that are showing 3 and 6 month Yields of 49950.03 and equally erroneous returns for 1,3,5 years in the Yield bar when I run the Prtfolio Value (and other) Graph.

: The Reports for the sub-portfolios seem correct.

: The graphs of the individual investments within the portfolio and reported yields also seem to be correct.

: For example, the only investment in one of the sub-portfolios is a simple money market account with the following transactions:

: 4/4/02 - Purchase $1100

: Monthly reinvestment of dividends between 4/02 and 2/05 totalling $38.10

: 2/28/05 - Sell $1138.10

: The value of this account is now $0.00

: When I run the Investment Value Graph with date range 3/1/2002 to 8/30/2005 the graph yields appear correct. But when I go to the Portfolio level, seeting that Portfolio as the Active Portfolio, and run the Portfolio Value Graph using the same date range I get a 3 month Yield of 49950 as noted above.

: Can you explain why this is and how to correct it? Other than that the program seems ideally suited for my needs and expcet to register once I load all my data and

Hi Kevin,

If you only have 1 investment in a sub-portfolio, the yields for the sub-portfolio should indeed be the same as for the individual investment. Is it possible you have some other hidden investments in this sub-portfolio? Use "View / Hidden Investments" and the Portfolio Editor to take a look. Hidden investments will contribute to the portfolio yields. If this is not the problem, would you mind e-mailing me a sample portfolio file and investments so I can reproduce the problem here? Also, what version of Fund Manager are you using?

Thanks,
Mark
