*Results are derived from the performance of Exchange Traded Funds for each country, the Pimco Commodities Fund for commodities, published indexes for country bonds, and exchange rates, and, for world equity and bonds, the performance of a mix of different index funds held in constant proportions. This methodology reflects the pre-tax returns to retail investors in actual index funds, and therefore will differ somewhat from the results published for the underlying indexes themselves.
