NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
Investment Strategy
Our Pension Plan's assets are managed by outside investment managers. Our investment strategy with respect to pension assets is to maximize returns
while preserving principal.
The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets considers the current level of expected returns on risk free investments (primarily government
bonds), the historical level of the risk premium associated with the other asset classes in which the portfolio is invested and the expectations for future returns
of each asset class. The expected return for each asset class was weighted based on the target asset allocation to develop the expected long-term rate of return
on assets. The weighted average target asset allocations are as follows:
December 31,
2010
U.S. Large Capitalization Equities 40%
U.S. Small Capitalization Equities 9
International Equities 11
U.S. Core Fixed Income 34
High Yield Fixed Income 6
Total 100%
The actual allocation of the assets in the Pension Plan at December 31, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:
