: : Dear Mark,

: : what type of yield should I use in a custom Report to get the yield of an investment fund for which I had to pay the load percentage plus transfer fees ? All yield calculations I have tried so far calculate based on the NAV when buying. So for instance I have bought shares @ 69.85 for a total of 74.45, the current price is 70.25 but the yields shows plus 23.75 % I would like to calculate the yield from buying day until today. Any suggestions ?

: Hi Peter,
: I didn't quite follow your example, but in
: general you would use ROI yields. FP yields
: only calculate the yield, based on the share
: price/distributions. ROI yields include your
: transactions. ROI yields do use your purchase/sell
: price when incorporating your transactions, as
: that is the price you paid. Another thing to note
: is that all yields are annualized, so if you're
: looking at a short time period, the yields may
: seem bigger/smaller, due to extrapolation to a year.

: Thanks,
: Mark

Hi Mark,

my intent ist to take the total aquisition cost (i.e shareprice + load + fees) as a basis for yield annualized calculation. As lond as this gross price plus distributions is higher than the latest share price I would expect to get a negative yield. But this ist not the case in all combinations I have tried so far. The reason why I want to calculate the yield this way is that I like to take all cost into consideration which are associated with a particular investment at purchase time.

Best regards,

Peter
