All calculations are cumulative total return, including dividends reinvested for the stated period. Since Market Peak represents period 10/9/07
– 12/31/11, illustrating market returns since the most recent S&P 500 Index high on 10/9/07. Since Market Low represents period 3/9/09 –
12/31/11, illustrating market returns since the S&P 500 Index low on 3/9/09. Returns are cumulative returns, not annualized. For all time
periods, total return is based on Russell-style indexes with the exception of the large blend category, which is reflected by the S&P 500 Index.
Past performance is not indicative of future returns.
Data are as of 3/31/12.

All calculations are cumulative total return, not annualized, including dividends for the stated period. Since Market Peak represents period 10/9/07 – 3/31/12.
Since Market Low represents period 3/9/09 – 3/31/12.
Forward P/E Ratio is a bottom-up calculation based on the most recent S&P 500 Index price, divided by consensus estimates for earnings in the next twelve
months (NTM), and is provided by FactSet Market Aggregates. Trailing P/E ratios are bottom-up values defined as month-end price divided by the last twelve
months of available reported earnings. Historical data can change as new information becomes available. Note that P/E ratios for the S&P 500 may differ
from estimates elsewhere in this book due to the use of a bottom-up calculation of constituent earnings (as described) rather than a top-down calculation.
This methodology is used to allow proper comparison of sector level data to broad index level data. Dividend yields are bottom-up values defined as the
annualized value of the most recent cash dividend as a percent of month-end price. Beta calculations are based on 10 years of monthly price returns for the
S&P 500 and its sub-indices.
Past performance is not indicative of future returns.
Data are as of 3/31/12.

Market Cap is a bottom-up weighted average based on share information from Compustat and price information from FactSet's pricing database as provided by Standard &
Poor's and Russell Investment Group, respectively. Dividend Yield is calculated based on the trailing 12 months of dividends and is provided by FactSet’s pricing database for
S&P and Dow Indexes and Russell for the Russell Indexes. Forward P/E is a bottom-up calculation based on the most recent S&P 500 price, divided by consensus estimates for
earnings in the next twelve months (NTM), and is provided by FactSet Market Aggregates. Top 10 represents summed benchmark weight of ten largest stocks in respective
index. Bottom 100 represents summed benchmark weight of 100 smallest stocks in respective index. *Lipper mutual fund size parameters are used for
illustrative purposes only and are hypothetical distributions based on Lipper mutual fund categories. As of November 2011, Lipper defines large as
market cap over $11.7 billion, small as less than $4.1 billion and mid as all values in between. The number of holdings as of 3/31/12 are –
Russell 1000: 977; Russell Mid Cap: 779; Russell 2000: 1,941; Russell 3000: 2,918.

2011 numbers are actuals. 2012 Federal Budget is based on the CBO’s March 2012 Baseline Scenario. *The CBO’s Alternative Scenario as shown in
the deficit and debt charts assumes that expiring tax provisions (other than the payroll tax cut) are extended, the AMT is indexed for inflation after 2011,
Medicare’s payment rates for physicians’ services are held constant at their current level and the automatic spending cuts required by the Budget
Control Act, which are set to take effect in January 2013, do not occur (but discretionary appropriation caps stay in place).
Note: Years shown are fiscal years (Oct. 1 through Sep. 30). Top right chart displays federal surplus/deficit (revenues – outlays).
