I am now on the same pages.

If you set the Portfolio to GroupBy:AccountName (at top), I expect
the MarketValue columns to match in both views for the account.

The Summary "Gain" column may be what you mean by "net gain". That
would not be expected to match the MarketValue. They would differ
because of PriceAppreciation and dividends or other distributions.

What is "the Market Value" you are referring to? Do you mean the
Last Price column of the Portfolio?

What is the "investment snapshot"? How do you get there?

I don't see those listed as reports or modules to configure in to
the "home" page.

If you are looking at "home" page or reports, I think you might find
the Portfolio views very useful. In particular, the Total Return
(TR) columns and PriceAppreciation columns are ones you might want
to add in to your favorite views there. I suggest you add the
Portfolio shortcut to the top of your screen.

Default Net Gains/Losses on Investments Incorrect in Money PLus

I have the new Money Plus deluxe edition, and have noticed that in my
investments, the Market Value - cost basis is not equalling the "net gain"
column in my investment snapshot column, which I do not understand. It is
not off by a little; in some cases it is by a lot. I do not own many stocks
and funds but have no idea why this is off; t should be simple math. There
were some dividends but that should just affect the cost basis of my stock,
and in turn, that number would effect my gain or loss. Is anyone else
noticing this problem? Am I looking at something wrong here or is there a
fix for this? It doesnt make any sense to me.
