05. Create a report for the client – Investment returns

0

Objective

Generate a detailed report to analyze the performance of accounts (RRSP, TFSA, etc.), visualize dollar earnings and calculate personalized rates of return over specific periods.

Prerequisites

  • Be logged in to your VieFund Advisor session.
  • Have selected the client’s file to be analyzed.

Step 1: Set up the analysis period

  1. Go to the reporting section for the client.
  2. Date selection: Specify the start date and end date for your analysis.
    • Example: January 1, 2025 to January 31, 2026 for a 13-month analysis.
  3. Start the report to view the returns.

Step 2: Gain and return analysis

The report presents performance data in the following ways:

  • Nominal Winnings: The exact amount of the gain made during the period (e.g., a gain of $11,000).
  • Rate of return: The percentage of interest or return generated (e.g., 12% or 13.09%).
  • Performance history: For accounts that have been open for a long time, you can view returns over the last 12 months, as well as 3, 5, or 10 years.

Step 3: Interpretation of capital movements

For each account, the report breaks down the information to explain the change in value:

  1. Initial value: The amount present at the beginning of the selected time period.
  2. Cash flows: Contributions or additions made during the year.
  3. Net Capital: The total amount invested.
  4. Final Market Value: The total value of the account as of the end date of the report.
    • The system uses the increase between the initial value (+ contributions) and the market value to calculate the precise rate of return.

Step 4: Manage new accounts

It is important to note one particularity when reading the report:

  • Recent accounts: If an account was opened during the year (for example, in May when the report starts in January), the system may not be able to calculate a relevant annual return for that incomplete period.

💡 Practical tip: This report is the ideal tool to demonstrate the impact of investment strategies (such as net gain versus contributions) and to reassure the client about the real performance of their assets.
