When calculating returns on the report, there are times when the calculated return is not based on the entire period shown on the report. For example, the account inception date was in the middle of the return period reported, or when reporting on securities, the security was purchased within the return time period. In these scenarios, many of you wanted a way to identify those accounts and securities.
This setting helps add context to the story, answering "How long was the security held and how much impact is it having on the overall return?" by allowing you to identify the partial period return with a footnote, double dashes ( -- ), not identify them, or include the actual start date for each partial return. It works in conjunction with Show Actual Return Dates.
By default, Advisor View uses the following indicators for returns in these circumstances:

You might choose to use Partial Returns depending on amount of space available in your PDF columns, or whether or not you think it would be beneficial for your clients to see this detail.
This setting is not available for dynamic reports.
To report partial returns without marking them in any way, choose Do not mark.
To mark returns with the actual start date, choose Do not mark or Mark with footnote and select the Show actual return dates check box.
Selecting Show actual return dates adds a column to the PDF report. Be aware that this could cause rendering errors, depending on the other report settings.
The Summary by Category report does not show actual return dates.
To mark partial returns with a footnote, choose Mark with footnote. The footnote is added at the end of the section, not at the bottom of each page.
To not report partial returns, choose Mark with dash. This replaces the partial return with a dash ( - ).
| Setting | Report Output |
|---|---|
| The actual return start date, using the Show actual return datesoption |
|
| A partial period return footnote |

A dash instead of the partial period return. |
This display option can also be combined with showing the actual return start date of the account or the security as demonstrated in the first example. |
When you choose how to designate partial returns, you can also choose how to mark partial returns in the Performance History report.
This setting allows you to indicate where you'd like partial returns to be marked: on the date period for the row or on the return itself.
To mark the partial returns at the date period, select Mark the date period title if all returns for the date period are partial returns.
To leave returns marked at the return level, clear Mark the date period title if all returns for the date period are partial returns. This is the default setting.
This setting applies for the Performance History report only.
| Mark the date period if all returns for the date period are partial returns selected |
|---|
|
In this example, the asterisk (*) indicating partial returns is appended to the row title for those periods that are partial periods. |
| Mark the date period if all returns for the date period are partial returns cleared |
|---|
|
In this example, the asterisk (*) indicating partial returns is appended to the partial periods directly. |
