This section describes how to calculate and report on synthetic returns. A synthetic return refers to a situation whereby a newer class of a fund (child fund) can have a long term return calculated by supplementing fund accounting data of an older, related share class (parent fund). Parent fund assignment can vary from one firm to another. Some firms assign the oldest share class while others use the share class with the closest expense structure. Eagle Performance is flexible and allows you to assign any entity in the system.
For information about setting up Performance system parameters, entities, and other data needed for synthetic return processing, see Retail Fund Performance Configuration .
Synthetic returns are only permitted under certain circumstances. Consult with your firm's legal or marketing department to determine if synthetic returns are permissible for your intended purpose.
