6. Sensitivity: Varies by Asset Class Asset Class Inflation Betas 1965–2009 Historical analysis is not a guarantee of future results. Individuals cannot invest directly in an index. Total return beta to one-year inflation rate change in multivariate regression including lagged inflation rate. 10-year Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) are calculated from synthetic AllianceBernstein real yields estimated from actual inflation and nominal yield curve variables before 1999 and from Federal Reserve real yields thereafter. REITs (Real Estate) are sourced from the Ken French Data Library prior to 1972; they are represented by the NAREIT Equity REIT Index thereafter. Commodity Stocks are sourced from the Ken French Data Library and are weighted by market-capitalization. Commodity Futures and Precious Metals Futures prior to 1990 are on a US consumption–weighted basis and are sourced from AllianceBernstein series prior to 1970 and from the MJK Commodity Futures Database between 1970 and 1990; they are represented by the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Futures Index (DJ-UBS) thereafter. All futures returns are fully collateralized by T-bills unless otherwise indicated. Real Assets represents the total return of a real asset portfolio (comprising one-third Commodity Stocks, one-third REITs, and one-third Commodity Futures fully collateralized by 10-year TIPS).

The blending of real assets does not eliminate the risk of loss in a portfolio. Figures do not sum to 100% due to rounding.

These returns are for illustrative purposes only and do not reflect the performance of any fund. Diversification does not eliminate the risk of loss. An investor cannot invest directly in an index or average and they do not include sales charges or operating expenses associated with an investment in a mutual fund, which would reduce total returns.
