Criticisms of the DJIA


Limited to 30 non-randomly selected bluechip stocks
Does not represent a vast majority of stocks
Divisor needs to be adjusted every time one
of the companies in index has stock split
Introduces downward bias by reducing
weighting of fastest growing companies
whose stock splits

Difficulties in Creating Bond Indices


Universe of bonds is much broader than stocks
Bond market changes constantly with new issues,
maturities, calls, and sinking funds
Bond prices are affected by duration, which is
dependent on maturity, coupon, and market yield
Correctly pricing individual bond issues without
current and continuous transaction prices
available poses significant problems

Composite Stock-Bond Indices


Beyond separate stock indexes and bond indexes for
individual countries, a natural step is composite
series
measures the performance of all securities in a given
country

Allows examination of benefits of diversification with


a combination of asset classes such as stocks and
bonds in addition to diversifying within the asset
classes of stocks or bonds

Comparison of Indices Over Time


Most differences are attributable to sample
differences
Different segments of U.S. stock market or from
different countries
High positive correlation between S&P 500 & several
U.S. equity indices
Correlations between the S&P 500 & investment
grade bond & high yield bonds indicate lower
correlations of approximately 0.49
