Erroneous 1 Week Performance number

I got the 1 week performance of all the portfolios by using the "Compare" function. For the "P_Composite_Momentum_Market_VFINX it shows a 1 week return of 1.2%. Morningstar shows a 1 week return of 0.42%. Please let me know if the numbers shown on your website are erroneous for only this or all the other portfolios too.

I do have the screenshot - can provide if needed.

Thanks

  • I believe you meant this (currently, it shows the following data)

    It's of course wrong for the 1-wk return. We are investigating. But the overall 1 yr or 3 month etc. are the same as VFINX. It does happen to many portfolios. So for now, there is a problem for 1 week return.

  • Here is the update on the issue: it's caused by the July 4th (July 5th off) holiday. Somehow, our calculation of 1wk return in a portfolio was off, it used July 1st. close return. i.e. our 1 wk calculation is really last 5 trading days. We'll work on this to fix it. 

    On the other hand, the actual simulation and other calculation are all correct. 

    Thank you for pointing this out.
