Asset Class Scoreboard Through May 2011

It’s time to update our asset class scorecard through the end of May. As we expected, the May 5th commodity price correction threw managed futures for a loop, pushing them to the bottom of our asset class scorecard for year to date. Should current trends continue through the month, look to see stock numbers plunge next month after the past couple of weeks of pressure, and bonds inch upward.

Key: as of 6/16/2011
