Monsanto 401k (SIP) Plan PSDS Scan 12-31-2009

This plan was again helped by company stock MON but not as much as last year. The Balanced portfolio 5yr APR= 6.16% and company stock 5yr APR = 25.22% are lower than last year but they are still among the best 401k plan returns I have seen. The employee portfolio had a 5yr APR = 9.18% with 22.8% of the portfolio invested in company stock which is volatile. Refer to last years scan posting for more information on the 401k plan investments.
