Show me one instance where I have disagreed with any of your suggestions and posted nasty comments and I will apologise publicly.
However, you should also do the same as your attitued and responses to many of MY colleagues have been - to say the least - very annoying but we have been very polite and let it slide as we prefer to dedicate our time to making a living not "debating" on pages such as KudoZ, where such debates have no place.
A "peaceful and tranquil week-end" to you too.

Madam, I refuse to stoop to your level. You have no right to be personal with people just because you disagree with them. I could put infront of you a lot of cases I disagreed with you but did not come back to insult and patronise you. Reconsider your portrayal of being mother-fix-it or mother-know-all and stop telling people what to do. I am going to stay on the forum, despite your kind request, and, if you do not agree with my suggestions you write 'disagree' without nasty comments. Have a peaceful and tranquil week-end.

That is YOUR, as you said, understanding. Things in this specific translation field are miles away from it. Each Fund reports quartely the results and returns of their investments, including breakdowns by sector, FX, country, and much more.
Each Fund consists of X number of sub-funds where shareholders and/or unitholders hold "accounts". Don't confuse these accounts with the Fund's and/or sub-funds' investments.
Have you ever seen a Fund quarterly report and, most important have your ever been assigned the translation of such documents? No, because you are not a translator and I am really wondering what you are doing on ProZ. There are so many other forums you could register with to pass your time, why bother with this one - and particularly KudoZ, which is intended for professionals of the field seeking their peers input when they are not sure of how to translate a term?
I've said what I have to say and I have a translation to go back to, so good morning and enjoy your weekend!

MY understanding is that the 'composite return' is the AGGREGATE return of the 'fund', which is a conglomeration of many accounts,
'..including fully discretionary, fee-paying actively managed' ones, amongst others. It also clearly says and refers to 'Global' Fixed Income Investments. A basket of Invstments, a 'Fund', του οποίου κάθε μια επένδυση αποφέρει μιαν απόδοση ξεχωριστά. A Fund does not advertise its results as individual performances of each of its Investments(except in their finer analysis). They give a 'synoptic' Increase/decrease--gain/loss as an 'Average' of the percentages gained or lost. At least, that is how I know it from my experience of
Investing. Personally, I have an Annuity, which is an Investment in a Pacific Fund with an annual 'composite return' of x%.

The compsite here is the composite return of the index and not the fund.

Moreover, the "accounts" here refer to the clients' portfolio of fixed income investments and not the Fund's investments., which in this specific case would be referred to as "positions".

My reasoning was this:- The text says,
<<..The composite includes all fully discretionary, fee-paying actively managed Global Fixed Income accounts ...>>. This is an indication there are 'different' accounts in the portfolio. Each A/c is a ' 'Fixed Income' investment producing ITS return. These various returns are 'pooled' together and their AVERAGE is the 'composite return'.
