Investment Report

This diagram shows a sample client statement from an investment company.

Diagram Flow
The diagram covers two pages. The first page is a year to date summary of the funds in
the account covering account balances and performance, and comparing it to S&P 500
returns. The second page visually shows where each fund lies on a risk vs. return axis
while at the same time showing the asset allocation in each fund, this is represented by
the relative size of the purple background shape for each fund.

Data
The data resides in an Excel file named InvestmentReportData.xls. The data is split
into two tables. NWSmallCap435643 contains the performance history of the account.
FundPerformance contains the performance history data for the individual funds in the
account. The data tables have a standard array of financial information such as 1, 3, and
5 year performance data, Fund ratings, and previous quarter performance.

Star icon sets for fun ratings, arrow icon sets for trend information at a glance.
