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.

Texas Instruments 401k (SP) Plan PSDS Scan 12-31-2010
I have little new information since the last scan for the Texas Instruments 401k in August 2010. After looking at a few court documents I decided to replace STIF with NOFIX the Northern Trust fixed income fund. The Balanced portfolio is still a lifeboat portfolio with over 90% of the Plan in just two funds NOFIX and BBPAX both income funds. I ran scans with and without Target Date Funds and they made almost no difference in the Balanced portfolio 5yr APR of 5.31%. Company stock TXN has a negative 5yr Sharpe ratio and by rule is not in the portfolio because of the stock's high volatility. This is a good company but the 401k Plan needs work. The retirement committee may want to check out Intel's 401k or other Top Ten 401k Plans posted on this site.
