asset class mean value and risk return figures

I want to create new asset classes for the Monte Carlo analysis such as mid cap stock. Where can I find (i.e. is in Morningstar or Dimensional) the historical mean return and relative risk by asset class?

The program calculates those

The program calculates those for you when you create the new asset class. It uses the return history you enter to figure out mean and relative risk. It requires at least 10 years of history. Just keep in mind that the last ten years may not represent very well the next ten (or fifty!).

I just checked out this web

I just checked out this web site and found that the 10 year Treasury returns for the last few years were wrong. For example: 2011, 16.24% 2014, 10.63% Am I reading the table incorrectly?

I trust the PV numbers are right. The numbers include coupon and price change.
