VF Corp. 401k (RSP) Plan PSDS Scan 12-31-2011
The VF Corp. 401k Plan trustee is Fidelity and the SEC 11-k report provides investment options at the category level only. The scan uses the following Fidelity index mutual fund options and company stock VFC.
Company stock VFC
Mutual Funds
FSTMX...................Total Market Index
FSIIX.......................International Index
FBIDX.....................US Bond Index
FIBIX......................Intermediate Treasury Bond Index
FUSEX....................S&P 500 Index
FFFAX....................Target Date Retirement Income Fund
FFFDX....................Target Date 2020 Fund
FGOVX...................US Government Income Fund
FRTXX....................Retirement Money Market Fund
Keep in mind my focus is on employees near or in their retirement years, The 5yr covariance matrix for this portfolio indicates the Balanced portfolio 5yr STD was reduced (not increased) from 2.74% to 1.80% as a result of diversification provided in large part by company stock VFC. It is the only equity option in the Balanced portfolio for this 5yr period 2007-2011. Interesting.

RJF IRA PSDS Scan Release R12.6.3
The PSDS scanner algorithm in Release R12.6.3 was upgraded to better image scans in general but especially scans that have the STD and PSR data computed using the portfolio covariance matrix for all the portfolios in the scan. The changes are basically refocusing the image for scans with and without covariance matrix data used to compute the STD and PSR for the cloud of portfolio points.
