The Performance History report allows you to calculate returns based on the year end designated in the account or group settings. This setting allows you to designate what year-end date is used for those calculations in the event that an account has a different fiscal year end from the rest of the group.

You can base the date periods on the following options:

Example

An advisor manages a group for a client in which one account is an SMA managed externally. As a result, the accounts in the group managed by the advisor have one fiscal year-end, while that one account has a different fiscal year-end.

When the firm runs a Performance History report for this group, they encounter the following situation:

The configuration of the Use fiscal year end for the Performance History report check box at the account and group level determines what dates the report displays for the account. The following table shows what year-end dates the advisor will see for the account in each possible configuration scenario.

Base Date Period On set to Account Setting

In this example, the account has a fiscal year end of July and the group has a fiscal year end of December. The Use fiscal year end for the Performance History report check box is cleared at the account level but it is selected at the group level. This causes the group's fiscal year end setting to overwrite the account's fiscal year end setting.

 

Base Date Period On set to Calendar Year

In this example, the account has a fiscal year end of July and the group has a fiscal year end of December. However, the year end settings for the report are based solely on the calendar year-end, regardless of account or group settings.

 

Base Date Period On set to Fiscal Year

In this example, the account has a fiscal year end of July and the group has a fiscal year end of December. The Fiscal Year setting causes the report to display values based on the group's fiscal year end when reporting at the group level and the account's fiscal year end when reporting at the account level.
