From what I have seen there is nothing that is perfect for this. The best I have found is the "Income by Security" report. However there is a small issue with it.
I run the report and customize it to include only my options and the covered stocks. I then check the boxes to include dividends, realized gains and unrealized gains. That is where the small issue comes in. You will notice if you check realized gains that it will only show your closed options. The values are correct for these. If you then check "unrealized gains" it will also show your open options BUT the realized gains on the closed options move into the unrealized gain column. I have reported this to Quicken. No word on when/if this will be fixed.
It is also difficult to show your option and underlying stock together in this report. You can change the name of the option so that they sort together with the underlying security (I haven't done this) but you can't subtotal them. The best you can do is export the report to Excel and subtotal it there.
Good luck!

Caveat: I do not deal with options, so I am offering these from ignorance?
Are the advisor's holdings and transactions in their own isolated account? If so, what about just using the investment performance report for that account as an overall measure of the advisor's work?
Can the options and underlying stocks be given a unique Investing Goal? Various reports and presentations can be grouped by Investing Goal.
The devil is certainly in the details, so be sure to understand what any of this really means - which is why you are asking the question to begin with.

Yes the investment advisor is an isolated account that I monitor but letting them to make trades as the market dictates with their expertise. Educating myself on this strategy to increase performance on my self managed accounts.
I will have to look at the investment Goals within quicken reports to see it that can help.
I'm looking for report that shows the stock along with the option(s) written against it. Right now I can see performance on reports showing each performance, which the covered call looks like a negative until it expires or closed out at which time it because a gain/loss. If it expires its a gain.
So it can be a little confusing in analyzing.0
