For the S%P 500, is it saying that if you invested $100 on Jan 1, 2007, then on Dec 31, 2007, you would have 100 - 36.1, or $63.90, but if you invested $100 on Jan 1, 2005, then on Dec 31 2007, you would have $90.00? In other words, for All Venture, the 3 Yr number of 4.2 is taking into account the fall in values during 2008? Thanks. I’d like to make sure I understand exactly what this table is saying.
