reconciling different performance numbers
am 09.03.2006 21:05:20 von Phil Schumanok - after using Quicken for years,
I've been clicking on the mutual fund entries (and stocks)
to bring up the web page (Quicken uses Yahoo financial)
to chart the fund (and stocks) and look at various details.
Why do the performance numbers never match anything
between my Quicken file, the Yahoo page, and the actual fund page
ie - TRowe New Horizons mutual fund
My Quicken shows 17% for 1 year
Yahoo = 21% / 29% / 7% (trailing returns for 1, 3, 5yr)
Yahoo = 11% / 17% / 49% (annualized returns for 1, 3, 5yr)
TRowe = 11% / 25% / 7% (for 1, 3, 5yr)
