Portfolio Performance Summary Settings

The Portfolio Performance Summary report shows portfolio detail and return information for up to eight time

periods. The report has two distinct parts – the detail section, located at the top of the report, and the return

section, located below the detail section for each time period. The benefit of this report is that you can set up the

report to show eight separate detail formats and eight associated return sections. This document discusses the

settings of this report to help you set it up to show the items your client wants to see.
