20 Year Snapshot of Asset Class Returns

It reminds me of the Ibbotson offering (now Morningstar (MORN)), but it is free. One cool feature is the ability to create custom periodic tables of investment returns. Here is their sample below:

PS If anyone is using the Ibbotson DMS data module please contact me.

Are you sure that it stands for "Dividned Portfolio" or is it "Diversified Portfolio"? If it is a custsom design that would indicate you could compare it to a specific individual portfolio. I don't know the answer, I am just curious.
