Select an IB Dollar Value Measure:
Market Value: Select this dollar value measure to view the closing value of selected assets, selected ticker symbols or the entire account at the end of each period in the analysis results.
Cost Basis: Select this dollar value measure to view the original value of an asset for tax purposes (the purchase price). This value is used to determine the capital gain, which is equal to the difference between the asset's cost basis and the current market value.
Mark-to-Market: Mark-to-market (MTM) is a method of valuing positions and determining profit and loss which is used by IB for TWS and statement reporting purposes. Under MTM, positions are valued in the Market Value section of the TWS Account Window based on the price they would currently realize in the open market. Positions are also valued using the MTM method for statement purposes and it is one of the methods by which profit or loss is computed.
Select this dollar value measure to view Mark-to-Market values in the analysis results, which include corporate actions, commissions, dividends, interest and other fees. Interest and other fees are calculated for the entire account only; they are not included in analyses for selected assets or symbols. The value of an asset based on the price it would currently realize in the open market.
Select an IB Percentage Value Measure:
Time-Weighted Return (TWR): Select this percentage value measure to view the percent return produced over time independent of contributions or withdrawals.TWR eliminates the impact of the timing of fund cash flows and isolates the portion of a portfolio's return that is attributable solely to the manager's actions. TWR is typically used for public fund managers because they normally do not control cash flowing into or out of their funds.
Internal Rate of Return (IRR): Select this percentage value measure to view the discount rate that equates the cost of an investment with the cash generated by that investment. IRR accounts for the timing and magnitude of fund cash flows. IRR is typically used for private fund managers because they normally exercise a degree of control over the amount and timing of fund cash flows.
