"Stable Value - Better than Ever"

The performance of the Hueler Stable Value Index continues to surpass that of both the Lipper Money Market Average and the Lehman Int. Gov/Corp Index on a one and three year basis. Stable value has outperformed Money Markets by more than 100 basis points annually over the past one, three and five year periods. Bonds have had a difficult year, reporting a .63% one year return compared to Stable Value's 6.22% more than a 5.50% difference.

Volatility gap for the indices continues to widen. Over the past five years, the standard deviation for the Money Market and Stable Value Indices are almost exactly the same, hovering at 11 and 18 basis points respectively. While for the same time period, the Lehman Intermediate Gov/Corp shows significant volatility at 435 basis points.
