The Out Of Pocket (OOP) percent gain or loss of the invested monies into an investment:

The end value already includes reinvested distributions, so end value + distributed distributions + redemptions gives the value generated by the beginning value + purchases - distributed distributions - redemptions.  This field is labeled %Gain.  The %Gain figure is only value weighted.  For a performance metric that is both time and value weighted, consider using ROI yields.

The denominator of this equation is your OOP basis.  As the OOP basis goes to zero, the %Gain approaches infinite.  When the OOP basis is negative, the %Gain is reported as N.A..

Note on Short Positions:

For short positions "purchases" are selling short, or increasing your short position, and "redemptions" are buying shares (covering/decreasing your short position).  The absolute value of beginning value + purchases - distributed distributions - redemptions is used in the denominator to provide meaningful figures.
