Hi Ashish,

Thanks. From the monthly NAV figure I am looking to calculate the cumulative yearly return which in 2015 would be 9613 /10000 -1. The calculation sadly doesn't match the correct answer I'm looking for. The Yearly figures in 2015 should be -3.86%, 2016 16.41%, YTD 2017 6.78% see attached spreadsheet which shows the calculation in excel https://1drv.ms/x/s!AiRs1BCuVWhM6FxhfrjpXpf5kU-H Also I should highlight that I am using a seperate date file and am not relying on the date in the EMCD model.
