The new Callan Periodic Tables have been released and in this podcast Paul discusses 10 important lessons from the main table (2000-2019) and several other Callan tables he has not addressed before. Paul encourages listeners to review the tables (links below) and see how many important lessons you find, before you listen to the podcast. For those who find tables of numbers a good to learn, this is a “can’t miss” podcast. For a “numbers guy” like Paul, he says, “This was so much fun to record!"

The Callan Periodic Table of Investment Returns, now in its 20th year, graphically depicts annual returns for various asset classes, ranked from best to worst. Created by Jay Kloepfer in 1999, the table features well-known, industry-standard market indices as proxies for each asset class. As Kloepfer notes at Callan.com, “The enduring appeal of the table is its ability to be understood at a glance. And once you’ve seen and absorbed it, you can refer to it again and again. New insights still come to me even 20 years later!”
