\nThe Callan Periodic Table of Investment Returns conveys the strong case for diversification across asset classes (stocks vs. bonds), capitalizations (large vs. small), and equity markets (U.S. vs. global ex-U.S.). The Table highlights the uncertainty inherent in all capital markets. Rankings change every year. Also noteworthy is the difference between absolute and relative performance, as returns for the top-performing asset class span a wide range over the past 20 years.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Look at the orange and maroon squares from 2005 to 2010; Emerging Markets Equity and REITs had some crazy-awesome years in the past, and everyone wanted to own them back then. These days, you hardly hear anything. The same could easily end up being true for what has been doing well in the last 5 years \u2013 US Large Cap Equity. Or not. Everything is always so much clearer in hindsight!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
