an tSionna {Asset Class Returns}

Averaging all nine asset classes by this definition shows a rate of return of 1.47% for the first six months of the year.  Returns would have likely been 2-3 percentage points higher if the quarter had ended a week earlier.  Thank the Greeks {and also the Chinese} for that difference!
