Use Performance Calculation Held Period Stats

The Performance Calculation Held Period Stats fields enhance an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) report by providing insights into when and how long a position is held. This perspective helps assess the investment’s impact on the overall portfolio.

A Three-Part Field Type

The Performance Calculation Held Period Stats fields offer three options which provide details on how long a position or group of positions (node) has been held by an entity: Held Period Start Date, Held Period End Date, and Held Period Days. When added to a Performance Calculation report field rule, the Start Date and End Dates of the report also define the limits for the Begin Date and the End Date statistics.

These statistics can be useful for supporting internal rates or return by showing the timeframe in which a position achieved a result.

The Performance Calculation Held Period Stats field types are located:

  • In Performance Center > General Reporting, under Fields/Custom/Performance Calculation Held Period Stats.

  • In Meta Data Center, under Derived Fields.

  • Begin Market Value. This is a holdings field which stores a positions market value for an effective date. Each day of the report range searches this column for values. The earliest effective date is a candidate for Start Date.

  • End Market Value. This is a holdings field which stores a positions market value for an effective date.

  • Cash Flow Transactions. This is a list that displays all available cash activity transaction types from the Code Value list TX_CODE or Transaction Code. You can find it in Meta Data Center under Code. The code value short description is what is stored in the CASH_ACTIVITY table in the TRANS_TYPE column The cash flow associated with the transaction type that has the earliest effective date from the list is considered a candidate.
