Portfolio holdings are subject to change and are not intended as recommendations of individual stocks.

The Price-Earnings Ratio ("P/E") is the most common measure of how expensive a stock is.

Market Cap is the market price of an entire company, calculated by multiplying the number of shares outstanding by the price per share.

Beta is a quantitative measure of the volatility of a given stock, mutual fund, or portfolio, relative to the overall market, usually the S&P 500. A beta above 1 is generally more volatile than the overall market, while a beta below 1 is generally less volatile.

Standard Deviation is a statistical measure of the historical volatility of a mutual fund or portfolio, usually computed using 36 monthly returns.

The MSCI World Index (Net) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the global equity market performance of developed markets. This benchmark calculates reinvested dividends net of withholding taxes using Luxembourg tax rates. This index is unmanaged and investors cannot actually make investments in this index.

Investing in foreign securities presents risks that in some way may be greater than U.S. investments. Those risks include: currency fluctuation; different regulation, accounting standards, trading practices and levels of available information; generally higher transaction costs; and political risks.
