on the actuarial report, as Mr• Palmqwst had not yet arrived)
Iviike Dana, Dana Investment Advisors, Inc., explained that they tried to make sure
they were invested in each of the domestic equity sectors, which had been found to be
� better thati trying to overweight or underweight a certai� sector and had been well
tested. In international securities they did not invest that way since accountin8 was
� not the same, and a1so, foreign governments had been known to take securities off
the market, so international holdings needed to be diversified�m�u� �P°�s
As to the number of securities in a portfolio, Mr. Dana exp ,
invested in 50-55 domestic securities would outperform. If someone purchased more
performance would drop on
than that, 60-70, they could not outperform their inclex, ou would
