This asset allocation tool is for illustrative purposes only
and is not intended to represent the returns of any specific
security. It provides historical risk and return data for
various indices. Past performance is no guarantee of future
results. You cannot invest directly in an index. Asset
allocation cannot assure a profit or protect against a loss
in a declining market.
Risk is measured by standard deviation. Standard deviation is
a measure of the dispersion of a set of data from its mean.
The more spread apart the data is, the higher the deviation.
The higher the standard deviation of an investment's returns,
the greater the relative riskiness because of uncertainty in
the amount of returns.

Risks of investing in REITs are similar to those associated with
direct investments in real estate securities, including falling
property values due to increasing vacancies, declining rents resulting
from economic, legal, tax or political developments, lack of
liquidity, limited diversification and sensitivity to certain economic
factors such as interest rate changes and market recessions. Foreign
securities involve special risks, including currency fluctuations,
lower liquidity, political and economic uncertainties, and differences
in accounting standards. Some international securities may represent
small- and medium-sized companies, which may be more susceptible to
price volatility and less liquidity than larger companies.
