Every fair-value figure is an INDEX where today's market price = 100. A median of 112.5 means the model's median fair value is 12.5% above the current price. Valuation scores run -3 to +3 where POSITIVE means cheap — the opposite convention to Market Lens scores. Modeled returns are scenario distributions under stated assumptions, not forecasts. **Data cutoff:** Sep 10, 2026, 9:30 PM EDT **One-year Treasury hurdle:** 4.28% (TREASURY_1Y) **Methodology:** cxpw_valuation_lens_v3.4 ## Overall **Only bonds screen near fair value; oil, Developed Pacific and US equities trade furthest above today's modeled fair value with 10-year real yields at 2.55%.** The 4.28% 1-year Treasury par yield (investment basis) is the annual hurdle, with an upward-sloping curve (2Y 4.56%, 10Y 4.95%) and a 2.55% 10-year real yield at the top of its 10-year range. ## Asset classes, cheap to expensive | Asset class | Benchmark | Score | Label | Median FV | P25–P75 | Upside to median | 1y modeled | vs Treasury | | --- | --- | ---: | --- | ---: | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | | Fixed Income | BND | +0.2 | Fair | 100.3 | 97.7–102.7 | +0.3% | +5.2% | +0.9% | | Europe Equities | VGK | -0.4 | Somewhat expensive | 98.3 | 91.8–105.2 | -1.7% | +8.0% | +3.7% | | China & Hong Kong Equities | MCHI | -0.4 | Somewhat expensive | 97.5 | 88.2–107.4 | -2.5% | +7.6% | +3.3% | | Emerging Markets Equities | VWO | -0.7 | Somewhat expensive | 96.0 | 87.4–105.6 | -4.0% | +6.3% | +2.0% | | Crypto | BTC-USD | -0.8 | Somewhat expensive | 92.0 | 77.5–108.3 | -8.0% | +3.0% | -1.3% | | Real Estate | VNQ | -0.9 | Somewhat expensive | 96.5 | 90.3–102.7 | -3.5% | +6.8% | +2.5% | | Metals | GLD | -1.1 | Somewhat expensive | 92.3 | 81.3–102.6 | -7.7% | +1.0% | -3.3% | | Japan Equities | EWJ | -1.4 | Expensive | 94.0 | 88.0–100.8 | -6.0% | +7.3% | +3.0% | | US Equities | SPY | -1.8 | Expensive | 89.5 | 81.4–98.2 | -10.5% | +6.4% | +2.1% | | Developed Pacific Equities | EWA | -2.1 | Expensive | 90.0 | 84.1–96.3 | -10.0% | +6.2% | +1.9% | | Energy | USO | -2.1 | Expensive | 81.5 | 71.1–93.2 | -18.5% | +0.8% | -3.5% | ### Fixed Income — +0.2 (Fair) Benchmark: BND (US Broad Bond Market) **Fair-value distribution** (market = 100): P10 95.3, P25 97.7, median 100.3, P75 102.7, P90 104.8.
