Cyprus banking crisis and poor economic data suppressed returns in the European regions. Emerging markets equities were the weakest due to slower growth rates in some regions, concerns of increased regulation in China, pressures of inflation in Brazil, and lower commodities prices. Japanese stocks strong performance was driven by Bank of Japan policies to hit 2% inflation rate. International small cap stocks outperformed international developed large cap stocks. Health care, financials, and consumer staples performed strongly during the year. Energy, utilities, and materials sectors were the laggards.
