Index and stock portfolios

Cash-flow index research

Review the historical performance of cash-flow style indices and local replicas, separating price and total-return bases and recording unresolved checks.

Current conclusion

Replication under review

Past cash-flow index results can be studied, but a real stock portfolio that follows those rules has not yet been fully rebuilt and checked. Price-only returns and returns including dividends answer different questions.

Evidence boundary · Vendor index results and local replicas are shown separately. Historical performance is not a forecast or an account-level result.
