Multi-Period Report

The Multi-Period Report in Pro Stock Tracker provides an in-depth analysis of your portfolio's performance over various time frames. By comparing up to four different periods, you gain valuable insights into trends and the effectiveness of your investment strategies.

This report allows you to group your holdings by market, country, currency, sector, industry, or asset class, with each group's performance summarized alongside the overall portfolio. You can review metrics such as total return, capital gain, dividends gain, and currency gain, presented in both monetary and percentage terms. Additionally, the report includes percentage returns shown as both annualized and cumulative figures. By comparing performance over different periods, you can contextualize your results, identify patterns, and refine your investment approach with confidence.
