Investors cannot directly purchase any index. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Individual investor results will vary. Small Stocks: For , the small company stock return series is the total return achieved by the Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA) Small Company 9/10 Fund. This fund is a market value-weighted index of the ninth and tenth deciles of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), plus stocks listed on the American Stock Exchange (AMEX) and over the counter (OTC) with same or less capitalization as the upper bound of the NYSE ninth decile. The equities of smaller companies from are represented by the historical series developed by Professor Rolf W. Banz. This is composed of stocks making up the fifth quintile of the NYSE. For 1981, Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. updated the returns using Professor Banz s methods. Large Stocks: The large stock total return index is based upon the Standard and Poor s composite index. The S&P 500 is an unmanaged weighted index of 500 stocks providing a broad indicator of price movement. Long-Term Corporate Bonds: For , corporate bond total returns are represented by the Salomon Brothers Long-Term High Grade Corporate Bond Index. The index includes nearly all Aaa and Aa rated bonds. Over , the total returns were calculated by summing the capital appreciation returns and the income returns. For the period , Ibbotson and Sinquefeld backdated the Salomon Brothers Index, using Salomon Brothers monthly yield data with a methodology similar to that used by Salomon for Capital appreciation returns were calculated from yields assuming a 20-year maturity, a bond price equal to par, and a coupon equal to the beginning of the period yield. For the period , the Standard & Poor s monthly High Grade Corporate Composite Yield data were used, assuming a 4% coupon and a 20-year maturity. The conventional present value formula for bond price was used for the beginning and end of the month prices. Long-Term Government Bonds: The total returns on long-term government bonds from are constructed with data from the Wall Street Journal. Over , data are obtained from the Government s file at the Center for Research in Security Prices (CRSP), Graduate School of Business, University of Chicago. Each year, a one-year bond portfolio with a term of approximately 20 years and a reasonably current coupon and whose returns did not reflect potential tax benefits, impaired negotiability, or special redemption or call privileges, was used. Where callable bonds had to be used, the term of the bond was assumed to be a simple average of the maturity and first call dates minus the current date. The bond was held for the calendar year and returns were computed. continued - next page Rev. 03/03

10 (continued from previous page) T-Bills: For the U.S. Treasury Bill Index, data from the Wall Street Journal are used form ; the CRSP U.S. Government Bond File is the source until Each month, a one-bill portfolio containing the shortest-term bill having not less than one month to maturity is constructed. To measure holding period returns for the one-bill portfolio, the bill is priced as of the last trading day of the current month. International Stocks: The returns for International Stocks are based on the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australia, Far East Index (MSCI EAFE) for the period MSCI EAFE is a market value-weighted average of over 900 securities listed on stock exchanges in the developed countries in the regions listed above. The index includes reinvestment of gross dividends before deduction of withholding taxes. Inflation: The Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U), not seasonally adjusted, is used to measure inflation, which is the rate of change of consumer good prices. All of the security returns are measured from one month-end to the next month-end. CPI commodity returns are collected during the month. Thus, measured inflation rates lag the other series by about one-half month. Prior to January 1978, the CPI (as compared with CPI-U) was used. Both inflation measures are constructed by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. The S&P 500 Index consists of 500 stocks chosen for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation. It is a market-value weighted index (stock price times number of shares outstanding), with each stock's weight in the Index proportionate to its market value. The "500" is one of the most widely used benchmarks of U.S. equity performance. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is comprised of 30 stocks that are major factors in their industries, and widely held by individuals and institutional investors. These 30 stocks represent about a fifth of the $8 trillion-plus market value of all U.S. stocks and about a fourth of the value of stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
