How this is computed
On a month from SEC Form N-PORT, money in is the filing’s sales plus reinvestments and money out its redemptions. On a month that is the sum of its days, money in sums the days money came in and money out the days it went out.
A month from SEC Form N-PORT is sales and reinvestments less redemptions as filed; a later month is the sum of its days, and says so where a day is missing.
