chart.CumReturns {PerformanceAnalytics} | R Documentation

## Cumulates and graphs a set of periodic returns

### Description

Chart that cumulates the periodic returns given and draws a line graph of the results as a "wealth index".

### Usage

    chart.CumReturns(R, wealth.index = FALSE, legend.loc = NULL, colorset =(1:12), begin = c("first","axis"), ...)

### Arguments

`R` | a vector, matrix, data frame, timeSeries or zoo object of asset returns
`wealth.index` | if `wealth.index` is `TRUE`, shows the "value of $1", starting the cumulation of returns at 1 rather than zero
`legend.loc` | places a legend into one of nine locations on the chart: bottomright, bottom, bottomleft, left, topleft, top, topright, right, or center.
`colorset` | color palette to use, set by default to rational choices
`begin` | Align shorter series to: first - prior value of the first column given for the reference or longer series or, axis - the initial value (1 or zero) of the axis.
`...` | any other passthru parameters

### Details
