Portfolio performance tracking
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for tracking performance of a portfolio, the method comprising:
- for at least a first security that is currently held in the portfolio, determining a first performance metric based on a comparison of a current value of the security with a historical price of the security;
for at least a second security that was previously held in the portfolio and has been sold, determining a second performance metric based on a comparison of a sale price of the security with a historical price of the security;
combining the first and second performance metrics to obtain an overall performance metric for the portfolio; and
outputting the overall performance metric for the portfolio.

Abstract
Portfolio performance tracking and reporting includes integration of performance tracking information for previously-sold securities with performance tracking information for securities that are still held in the portfolio. Performance tracking for securities that are still held is performed by comparing the security'"'"'s current value with the purchase price (basis). Performance tracking for securities that have been sold is performed by comparing the sale price with the purchase price; changes to value that took place subsequent to the sale date are ignored, as they have no bearing on the performance analysis for the portfolio. A report is generated including performance tracking information for individual securities and/or for the portfolio as a whole.
