| The Performance Benchmark Report report compares the performance produced by
the investments in your club with the performance those same
investments would have produced in an alternative (such as an
S&P 500 index mutual fund).
IRR - The Annualized Internal Rate of Return of all investments
made during the date range of the report. The IRR produced by
investments made in the club is shown, along with the IRR that
would have resulted from making identical investments in the
alternative selected for the report. This calculation, while
quite complex, determines the annual interest rate that would
need to be paid on a bank account that will give you the same
total return on your investment.
This comparison allows you to determine whether your club
investments have produced a greater return than would have
resulted from making those same investments in the selected
alternative. For example, you can compare your actual club
return with the return that would have resulted from making all
your club investments in an S&P 500 index fund.
Portfolio Value - The portfolio value as of the ending date
of the report. The actual value of your club portfolio is
shown, along with the estimated value for identical investments
made in the selected alternative
Transaction Date - The date of an investment transaction in
the selected alternative.
Description - The type of an investment transaction. The
possible types are:
"Beginning market value", the value of the alternative portfolio
on the starting date of the report (the same as the value of
the club portfolio on that date);
"Ending market value", the value of the alternative portfolio
on the ending date of the report;
"Member contribution", an investment into the club;
"Member withdrawal", an withdrawal from the club;
"Distribution reinvested", a distribution payment from the
alternative investment which was reinvested into the alternative;
"Split", a split in the fund price.
Investments - The dollar amount of an investment made into the
alternative.
Returns - The dollar amount of an investment withdrawn from the
alternative.
Shares - The number of shares of the alternative investment
associated with a transaction.
