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.

Alliance Data Systems 401k (RSP) PSDS Scan 12-31-2011
Alliance Data Systems had a good 2011 and their 401k Plan Balanced portfolio invested 6.5% of the Plan in company stock ADS, more than the employee portfolio. Like the previous scan for Amazon's 401k the Plan equity options did not do well the last 5 years. In the Alliance Data Systems 401k Plan none of their Plan equity options have any money invested in them because they do not have positive 5yr Sharpe ratios. This may happen a lot this year, company stocks outperforming their Plan equity options the last 5 years because 2011 was not a good year for most mutual funds.
