Detail for International Index Portfolios formed on B/M, E/P, CE/P, and D/P

Monthly Returns:   January 1975-December 2023
     
Annual Returns:   1975-2023
     
Construction:   The returns on the index portfolios are constructed by averaging the returns on the country portfolios. ( See the detail for the country portfolios.) Each country is added to the index portfolios when the return data for the country begin; the country start dates can be inferred from the country return files. We weight countries in the index portfolios in proportion to their EAFE + Canada weights.
