The trend toward positive results among 401(k) investment yields solidified during the first two months of second-quarter 2009. Looking at annualized performance, all reported indexes returned to or surpassed the level of their yields of 12 months ago, except the Ryan Labs-Treasury and Ryan Labs-Cash. Lehman Brothers’ and Salomon Brothers’ year-on-year performance was slightly negative but essentially on par. Even the four funds that have consistently shown double-digit negative performances in past months improved their positions over a year ago. Looking at monthly performance, May numbers from all reported indexes, except Ryan Labs-Treasury and Ryan Labs Treasury 5-year, showed improvement over March results.
