Performance reporting

Daily TWR Precision / End-of-Day vs. Beginning-of-Day Flow Assumptions
In many portfolio accounting systems, all flows are considered to occur at beginning-of-day which can result in performance errors, especially with mutual funds. For example, if an Advisor receives a $10 dividend on a $100 mutual fund holding but happens to purchase an additional $100 that day, many portfolio accounting systems would calculate the return as 5% when clearly it should be 10%. This scenario will distort the TWR return stream from that point forward. Since mutual funds are purchased and redeemed at end-of-day NAV, purchases and sales should always be treated as end-of-day events and not part of the beginning-of-day capital base. WealthSite uses both beginning-of-day and end-of-day flow assumptions depending on transaction type and instrument, and these rules can change per Advisor preferences or be overridden transaction by transaction.

Latest and Multi-Tranche Performance
Latest tranche performance allows for reporting on a continuous holding period. For example, if XYZ mutual fund was held years ago and repurchased recently, we allow the ability to report line-item performance for the latest continuous holding period while including the entire return history in higher-level performance measures.  Multi-tranche performance correctly calculates the return when there are gaps in the holding period and applies a consistent approach to any benchmark comparisons.  Both of these approaches allow for an apples-to-apples benchmark comparison and proper annualizing of returns.

After-Tax Performance
WealthSite offers after-tax daily TWR and estimated tax liability reporting based on entity-specific federal, state, and local tax rates, legal entity state of residence, instrument type, and issuer state.
