Performance assumes equally weighting each sub-asset and annual rebalancing. Taxes and inflation were not taken into account. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE.
Raw data utilized in this research report were obtained from Morningstar Principia and other sources. The returns reported in the table above and in other areas on this website may differ slightly from the returns of the 7Twelve portfolios published in my book, 7Twelve: A Diversified Investment Portfolio with a Plan. The slight differences are due to two issues: (1) different rebalancing assumptions, and/or (2) corrected historical returns. From time to time, Morningstar will modify and correct historical performance data. Occasionally such corrections affect the historical performance of the underlying funds and ETFs utilized in the various 7Twelve portfolios. In every case, the resulting changes in the historical returns of the 7Twelve portfolio are so small as to be immaterial. |
