Bonds perf - not quite right in Quicken

Jun 25, 2009 0 Replies

I've been thinking about my Vanguard Bond Index fund - VBMFX - and was looking at my Q2009 holdings vs security detail.



I put in $10k back in 2007, and every month since then is a dividend of about $42 which are re-invested... The Quicken fund overview screen just really shows Market Value vs Cost Basis which today are $11,291 and $11,173.



BUT - there is nothing that really shows the ROI of the monthly dividends... which is about 4.80 % - in fact the Overview and Recent Perf screens would have you believe that the perf is only a 1.06 % gain...



SO - I'm a little skeptical of Quicken's info with regard to dividends...vs performance...
