Goodbye, Lehman Agg!

The term "Lehman Agg" used to roll off my tongue. I felt like an insider knowing that was short for "Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index" of bonds.

It feels strange to be typing "Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index (formerly the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index)" as I create my fourth quarter performance reports.

Does this make anyone else pause?
