: : : when i use the portfolio performance feature, i am getting inconsistencies in the %Gain-I. for instance, my "invested value" is 100 and my "end value" is 200. My "gain" is correct at 100, however the "%Gain-I" gives a wrong value. please assist. thks

: : Hi Steves,

: : How are you determining the %Gain-I is wrong? It may just be calculating differnt than you expect? From within this report you can select "Help / Help on Report", and then the equation for %Gain-I will be available. This may clarify why the figure is being reported the way it is. Also, if you're looking for a different %Gain you might want to use a Custom report, and choose whatever %Gain you want.

: Hey Mark,

: Thanks for reply. I understand the computation, however I find that it is correct for some investments and off in others. For example, these are the numbers I am getting for one investment (report date is from initial investment to current date):

: Beg Value Invested Distrib End Value Gain %Gain-I
: 0.00 10,982.17 0 11,067.72 85.55 .50(should be .79?)

: Below is another example of a sub-portfolio total
:
: Beg Value Invested Distrib End Value Gain %Gain-I
: 0.00 22,011.78 0.00 22143.69 131.91 .25 (shouldn't the %Gain-I be .59?)

Mark, here it is again. The format did not turn-out correctly:

Investment A- from inception to current date
Beg Val: 0
Invested: 10,982.17
Dist: 0
End Val: 11,067.72
Gain: 85.55
%Gain-I: .50 (shouldn't this be .79?)

Investment B - total of on sub-portfolio
Beg Val: 0
Invested: 22,011.78
Dist: 0
End Val:22,143.69
Gain: 131.91
%Gain-I:.25 (shouldn't this be .59?)
