My interest is in scanning 401k portfolios to image the efficient frontier and highlite portfolios that have high risk adjusted returns. The portfolio with highest Sharpe ratio will appear in the scan image for each 401k plan posted.

Pactiv 401k (SIP) Plan PSDS Scan 12-31-2010
Reynolds Group Holdings Limited bought Pactiv Corp. in 2010 and the stock PTV is no longer active. Each share of stock was converted into the right to receive $33.25 in cash per share. The 401k portfolio design scan did NOT include PTV stock in the scan.
The Balanced portfolio largest holding was the bond fund PTTRX (34.8%) which had a higher APR than the equity options. The Balanced portfolio return was 5yr APR = 5.86% with a Sharpe ratio of 1.28. I am bothered a bit by the almost 50% of that portfolio invested in Target Date Retirement funds that are highly correlated by design. They are good funds but diversification is a concern. The employee portfolio invested much less in those funds and had a 5yr APR =4.34% with a small positive Sharpe ratio. All in all a good plan.
