Performance Tab / Stock Return %

HI Evan, how are you?
I am trying to get more use out of the Performance Tab and wish to understand the numbers (%'s) given.

Take AAPL for example, Stock Return YTD shows 17.59% whereas simple calculation of the difference in the YTD closing price (217.96-192.53) = 13.21%?

Your notes mention that theStock return = same as the benchmark, but for example Finviz shows 13.21% also. As Portfolio Return = Port% x Stock Return it seems portfolio return may not be correct?

Also regarding Cash, that shows in the performance tab also, as a % of the portfolio but showing Zero return while I presume the % is included in the calculation of the total Portfolio return. I tried turning off cash in Preferences and while the % for cash changes a little, it still shows as a significant %, 14.27% in my case.

Thanks to comment and let me know what I am missing.

Cheers/Andy R

P.S. I did note your exchange with keat8303 in Dec last year, though I am not sure I fully understood it?? :crazy_face:

Hi Andy,

Been a while! Yes, been enjoying life lately.
Got into the craze of Hyrox and lost a few kgs lately :slight_smile:

Two differences.

  1. I am using nearest Eod on or after 1 Jan hence the close is 185.64 on 2 Jan
  2. I am including Dividends (after tax) hence another 0.343 (after tax) for that.
    Summing up the above, it is (217.96 - 185.64 + 0.343) / 185.64 => 0.17594807153 or 17.59%

Happy to change point 1 to nearest Eod on or before if that makes better sense to people.

This depends on what we decide for above.

I am not sure I understand what you meant here. Can you maybe send me a screenshot? Maybe PM me so that you do not reveal sensitive information.

Cheers,
Evan

P.S. Always nice to hear from you!
