The blended benchmark includes the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings but does not include transaction costs. Indices are included for comparison purposes only. Volatility, number of issues, capitalization size, year-to-year return history, and other security attributes of the indices differ from the attributes of the DBF Portfolios.
