NewMarket Corp. 401k (SP) PSDS Scan 12-31-2009




This company stock NEU has triple digit volatility with a positive 5yr Sharpe ratio. I don't see that very often. The Balanced portfolio has 10.1% of the plan in the stock a bit more than I think prudent. The employee portfolio has 37.9% of the portfolio in the stock producing a 5yr APR = 20% with a positive Sharpe ratio of 0.40. It all makes me nervous but the plan has several very good funds and a retirement preservation trust VRST in the scan that balance things out. The company stock 5yr numbers are APR = 43.41, STD = 112.46, and SR = 0.36. That White Box is way off the chart.
