When I navigate to my account on Vanguard, the page shows my various holdings, along with "$ Change" and "% Change". But what timescale is used to calculate these values? Are they calculated as change over the last day (or week, or month, or year)? It's quite surprising the Vanguard website nowhere explains the meaning of these values.

These are daily changes. For longer timescales you need to go to the performance tab.

Thanks! How do you know this? Is it documented anywhere, or is this just a universal standard among online portfolio trackers? Commented Aug 2 at 17:40
