ROI questions
Does anyone know the formula that MD uses to calculate the Annual % (ROI) in the Investment Performance report?
ROI number is correct, but Annual % (ROI) number seems to be off a bit the way I figure it.

I've seen some references but they do not go deep enough.
I do not know but I have a suspicion they take the time period you have set for the report and tried to annualize the data from that time period.
Which if they do creates utter garbage, as it is merely some sort of projection.

I agree with dwg. I've long since decided MD Investment reports are best done in a different tool.

In general Moneydance reports need some work, there are a number with problems,
Additional Investments reports would not go astray either.

The normal ROI number comes up correct, but that is a simple calculation. The annualized ROI is a bit more involved because it involves the number of years invested. MD seems to be in the ball park but seems to be 10 to 20 % off. I think I might create a test investment and see if I can sort out what they are doing.
