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.

Limited Brands, Inc. 401k (SRP) Plan PSDS Scan 12-31-2010
Limited Brands 401k in 2008 had only 2 funds in the Balanced portfolio and company stock was not one of them. Two years later company stock LTD has a 5yr APR of 12.7% with a Sharpe ratio of 0.155 and the Balanced portfolio has a 5yr APR of 5.11% and a Sharpe ratio of 1.74. Things are looking up. That said the 2010 Balanced Portfolio only invested 2.0% in company stock and most of the equity options have below average 5yr returns. The Balanced portfolio's 3 largest holdings are the GIC, the bond fund PTTRX and a short-term income fund SSTBX in the scan. The employee portfolio's largest holding is company stock.
