: Hi Mark,
: When I use the graph option "Portfolio/Investment overlay: Price+Distributions" the garph give me a YTD portfolio performance ratio number which is different (i.e. always higher value) from the one given in %Gain-V in the option "Reports:Portfolio performance" (YTD option).
: Do you have an explanation?
: Best regards
: Lang TU Hi Lang, These 2 are not the same. The %Gain-V is just (end value - beg value)/(beg value).
If you invested money in the middle, it will make your %Gain-V big. The
portfolio overlay / Price + Dist graphs plot the change due to share price
and distributions, not change in value. If you would like to see these
match, use the "Portfolio/Investment Overlay / Value" graph instead. You
will need to adjust the start date of the graph to 1 day earlier than the
start of the Portfolio Performance report, as the report uses the close
of the prior day for its beginning value. Thanks,
Mark
