Performance Analysis fields allow you to return the single period returns that are committed in the PerfCalc or loaded into the performance database. Dynamic performance supports the following Effects: Return, Weight, Begin Value, and End Value. As mentioned above, if the underlying database field has the Dynamic Weight option set, all the levels above security are calculated using the contribution method. If not, the value is summed at all levels above security.

Performance Link Analysis Fields

Performance Link Analysis fields point to underlying Performance Analysis fields. The Performance Analysis fields first calculate single period returns for the link period and then pass those returns to the linking algorithm.

Performance Risk Analysis Fields

Performance Risk Analysis fields point directly to Performance database fields. As a result, they interpret the underlying Performance database field, reading the Dynamic Weight the same way that the Performance Analysis field does. They then pass these single period values to the normal multi period risk processing algorithms.
