erroneous roi calculations

What causes this? I have a mutual fund for which the 3
month and ytd calc is obviously wrong. During this period
I transferred the shares from one broker to another. I
used the "transfer out" command to move the shares from
one broker account in my pertfolio to the other. Did
this cause the miscalculation? The overall calc for all
the years I've held this fund and for the 1 & 4 week
periods appears correct.

That is the way it works. Your alternative, if you transferred your
entire holdings from one broker to another, is to undo the transfer,
delete the new account, and rename (etc) the old account to the new
broker.

Otherwise expect information on how the holding did since the
transfer.
