How a benchmark is published

Each benchmark has its own page with its weights, calendar and returns. Rules were frozen on Oct 3, 2026. Data before Oct 5, 2026 is hypothetical: we apply today’s rule and funds to earlier prices. Total returns use market price with distributions reinvested, after each fund’s own fees. Nothing else is deducted. The price source leaves out funds that closed before 2016, so results lean toward funds that survived. Methodology v1.3 →
