The posters are an excellent first introduction to the power of markets and the benefits of patience, asset class diversification, and the avoidance of market timing. These should be printed at 24" x 36".
Printing the PDFs at 11" x 17"are excellent for client meetings using Dimensional's "4S Framework" to help you personalize your client interactions using scripts, stories, sketches, and supplements.
**Note to Advisors: If you are not printing the Index Matrix posters for the US Total Market and US Small Cap Value (at the least) to display in your office, you are missing a huge opportunity to enlighten new and existing clients to the power of long-term investing. Trust me, these are unique and engaging conversation starters that will set the stage for deeper discussions with your clients.

For the period 1995 to 2024, this poster shows a set of core asset classes ranked from highest return to lowest return each year. It’s purpose is to illustrate the randomness of asset class leadership year-to-year and the folly of under- or over-weighting asset classes based on predictions of future performance.

This poster shows US market history in a different perspective from the matrix posters. Using monthly data, an up market is defined as a sustained rise in stock prices prior to a 20% or more decline. A down market ends after a 20% gain in the market. The duration and degree of each cycle is displayed along with a “growth of $1” line.
