Nonregistered investment partnerships shall disclose per-share data for all common classes in general-purpose financial statements. However, it is permissible for [financial highlights](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/f/#nonregistered-investment-partnerships-financial-highlights "Nonregistered investment partnerships, when disclosing financial highlights, shall interpret the terms classes, units, and theoretical investments as follows: Classes. Nonregistered investment funds typically have one of the following two classes of ownership interest, with one class being the management interest in the fund and the other being the investment interest: For unitized funds (that is, funds with units specifically called for in the governing underlying legal or offering documents), the management interest usually is a voting class and the investment interest is a nonvoting class. Temporary series of shares (that is, shares that are intended at the time of issuance to be consolidated at a later date with another specified series of shares that remains outstanding indefinitely) are not considered separate classes. Permanent series of a class of share shall be the basis for which that share's financial highlights are determined and presented. For nonunitized funds, the management interest usually is the general partner class and the investment interest usually is the limited partner class. Generally, a class has certain rights as governed by underlying legal documents or offering documents and local law. Rights to certain investments that do not otherwise affect the rights available under the underlying legal documents and local law do not ordinarily represent a separate share class. For example, rights to income and gains from a specific investment attributed solely to investors at the date the investment is made (side-pocket investments) are not considered to give rise to a share class. Similarly, a temporary series of shares is not considered a share class. Units. Only funds with units specifically called for in the governing underlying legal or offering documents shall be considered unitized. Some funds may employ units for convenience in making allocations to investors for internal accounting or bookkeeping purposes, but the units are not required or specified by legal or offering documents, and for all other purposes operate like nonunitized investment partnerships. For per-share operating performance, those funds are not considered unitized. Theoretical investment. The term theoretical investment in paragraph 946-205-50-20 shall be considered as the actual aggregate amount of capital invested by each reporting class of investor as of the beginning of the fiscal reporting period, adjusted for cash flows related to capital contributions or withdrawals during the period.") to be presented only for those classes of shares that are included in reports to those classes.

1.  a
    
    Net asset value at the beginning of the period.
    
2.  b
    
    Per-share net investment income or loss. Other methods, such as dividing net investment income by the average or weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, are acceptable.
    
3.  c
    
    Realized and unrealized gains and losses per share, which are balancing amounts necessary to reconcile the change in [net asset value per share](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/n/#net-asset-value-per-share "Net asset value per share is the amount of net assets attributable to each share of capital stock (other than senior equity securities, that is, preferred stock) outstanding at the close of the period.

When determining expense and net investment income ratios, nonregistered investment partnerships shall calculate average net assets by using the fund's (or class's) weighted-average net assets as measured at each accounting period or periodic valuation (for example, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly), adjusting for capital contributions or withdrawals from the fund occurring between accounting periods or valuations. (This paragraph is not intended to require any additional interim accounting period or periodic valuation date beyond that which may be provided in offering or organizational documents of the partnership.)

The expense and net investment income ratios shall be calculated by nonregistered investment partnerships based on the expenses allocated to each common or investor class (for example, the limited partner class) before the effects of any incentive allocation. Adequate disclosure shall be made to indicate that the net investment income ratio does not reflect the effects of any incentive allocation. Expenses directly related to the total return of the fund, such as incentive fees, and nonrecurring expenses, such as organizational costs, shall not be annualized when determining the expense ratio. Disclosure shall be made of the expenses that have not been annualized.

Generally, the determination of expenses for computing those ratios shall follow the presentation of expenses in the fund's statement of operations. Accordingly, if the manager's or general partner's incentive is structured as a fee rather than an allocation of profits, the incentive fee would be factored into the computation of an expense ratio. Because an incentive allocation of profits is not presented as an expense, it shall not be considered part of the expense ratio. However, to avoid potentially significant inconsistencies in ratio presentations based solely on the structuring of incentives as fees or allocations, all incentives shall be reflected in the disclosure of financial highlights.

Additionally, for the expense ratio, disclosure shall be made of the effect of any agreement to waive or reimburse fees and expenses to each reporting class as a whole, as described in paragraph [946-20-50-7](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/946/20/#946-20-50-7), and of expense offsets, as described in paragraphs [946-20-45-3](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/946/20/#946-20-45-3) and [946-20-45-5](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/946/20/#946-20-45-5). Agreements to waive a portion or all of certain fees to a specific investor, which do not relate to the share class as a whole, do not require disclosure in the financial highlights. However, as ratios are calculated for each common class taken as a whole, the financial statements shall disclose that an individual investor's ratio may vary from those ratios.

For investment companies not using unitized net asset value, including investment partnerships, total return shall be computed based on the change in value during the period of a [theoretical investment](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/t/#theoretical-investment "See Nonregistered Investment Partnerships—Financial Highlights.") made at the beginning of the period. The change in value of a theoretical investment is measured by comparing the aggregate ending value of each class of investor with the aggregate beginning value of each such class, adjusted for cash flows related to capital contributions or withdrawals during the period.

If capital cash flows occur during the reporting period, returns are geometrically linked based on capital cash flow dates. In general, geometrically linking requires the computation of performance for each discrete period within a year in which invested capital is constant (that is, for each period between investor cash flow dates), then multiplying those performance computations together to obtain the total return for a constant investment outstanding for the entire year.

Because incentive allocations or fees may vary among investors within a class, total return for reporting classes subject to an incentive allocation or fee should report total return before and after the incentive allocation or fee for each reporting class taken as a whole. The effect of incentive allocations on total return is computed on a weighted-average aggregate capital basis. That results in an incentive computation less than the maximum if, for example, certain partners had loss carryovers at the beginning of the period.

An investment company shall disclose the internal rate of return since inception of the investment company's cash flows and ending net assets at the end of the period (residual values) as presented in the financial statements, net of all incentive allocations or fees, to each investor class, as of the beginning and end of the period, if, by the terms of their offering documents, they meet all of the following criteria:

1.  a
    
    Have limited lives
    
2.  b
    
    Do not continuously raise capital and are not required to redeem their interests upon investor request (obtaining initial capital commitments from investors at time of organization and subsequently drawing on those commitments to make investments is not considered continuous for this purpose)
    
3.  c
    
    Have as a predominant operating strategy the return of the proceeds from disposition of investments to investors
    
4.  d
    
    Have limited opportunities, if any, for investors to withdraw before termination of the entity
    
5.  e
    
    Do not routinely acquire (directly or indirectly) as part of their investment strategy market-traded securities and derivative instruments.

A footnote to the financial highlights shall disclose that the internal rate of return since inception of the investment is net of all incentives. The internal rate of return since inception shall be based on a consistent assumption, no less frequently than quarterly, as to the timing of cash inflows and outflows (for example, on actual cash flow dates or cash inflows at the beginning of each month or quarter and cash outflows at the end of each month or quarter). All significant assumptions with respect to the internal rate of return since inception shall be disclosed in the footnotes to the financial highlights.

Separate accounts with more than two levels of contract charges or net unit values per subaccount may elect to present the required financial highlights for contract expense levels that had units issued or outstanding during the reporting period (including number of units, unit [fair value](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/f/#fair-value "The price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date."), net assets, expense ratio, investment income ratio, and total return), for either of the following:

1.  a
    
    Each contract expense level that results in a distinct net unit value and for which units were issued or outstanding during each reporting period
    
2.  b
    
    The range of the lowest and highest level of expense ratio and the related total return and unit fair values during each reporting period.
    

The calculation of the ranges for the total return ratio and unit fair values should correspond to the groupings that produced the lowest and highest expense ratios.
