The "Your Portfolio" Tab At The Top

of the calculator.

Under "A Mixed Portfolio", what does "relative amounts" specifically mean?

It says you can put in dollar amounts, but what does "relative amounts" mean?

percentages of portfolio?

Yes it means percentage. But if you look at their prepopulated example the numbers add up to 140. So for US Large Value that has a 40, that means it equals 40/140=28.57%.

It will normalize the $ amounts given to 100%.

yeah...i saw the numbers equalling more than 100 percent. so i assume that i choose the percentages myself in the catagories that will equal 100 percent, correct?

interestingly, leaving the prepopulated figures gave me a 91 percent success rate.....lol
