Hello,

I want to model my portfolio & am looking for information on average nominal rates of return & standard deviation for different asset classes like
domestic large cap
domestic small cap
international etc. etc.

Does anyone have a link or information handy?

If you were to make a guess on the average nominal (before inflation) rate of return for a portfolio that was 75 % equity (mix of large, small & international) & 25% short term bonds & cash, what would that be? I have guessed at 6%, but I'm beginning to think that's too conservative.

Thank you.
