Value vs. Glamour: A Global Phenomenon study examines the performance of large cap global stocks from June 30, 1980 through June 30, 2014. The smallest 50% of all companies in developed countries in the Worldscope database were excluded—yielding a sample more representative of a typical investor’s investable universe. Remaining stocks were divided into deciles based on their price-to-book (P/B); the decile with the lowest P/B representing value stocks and the decile with the highest P/B representing glamour stocks. Aggregate performance of each decile was tracked over the next five years. New deciles were formed and the process repeated each year. Annualized returns were then averaged to compare value and glamour stocks over the entire study. FOR INVESTMENT PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY-NOT FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION

Source: The Brandes Institute; Worldscope via FactSet, as of 6/30/14. Using the Worldscope database, we defined emerging markets as any country in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. We excluded the smallest 50% of companies in this index to create a more “investable” universe.

Source: Prof. Robert Shiller’s website, http://www.econ.yale.edu/~shiller/data.htm. This data set consists of monthly stock price, dividends, and earnings data and the consumer price index (to allow conversion to real values), all starting January 1871. The price, dividend, and earnings series are from the same sources as described in Chapter 26 of his book Market Volatility, published by Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 1989. Author’s note: Shiller now posts monthly data at his site, rather than annual data. Monthly dividend and earnings data are computed from the Standard & Poor’s four-quarter totals for the quarter since 1926, with linear interpolation to monthly figures. Rolling periods represent a series of overlapping, smaller time periods within a single, longer-term time period. For example, over a 20-year period, there is one 20-year rolling period, eleven 10-year rolling periods, sixteen 5-year rolling periods, and so forth.
