  • Benchmark Comparison: Compare individual stock performance against market indices like the S&P 500 to assess whether investments are outperforming or underperforming the broader market.
  • Tax Planning: YTD gains and losses are crucial for tax-loss harvesting strategies and estimating potential capital gains tax obligations before year-end.

Factors Driving YTD Performance
