Since investors cannot invest directly in an index without incurring fees and expenses, the performance of an actual portfolio would be less than shown because fees and expenses are not reflected in the asset class returns or in any periodic rebalancing the portfolio back to its prescribed weightings. All performance numbers are shown on a pre-tax basis.
