Notes on page development


  1. This page is devoted to indexes and index providers, not index funds;
  2. Since we have a number of pages which tabulate fund selections we can hyperlink to these at the end of each section.
  3. This page might be enhanced with graphics (style boxes or pies)
  4. There are major dispersions of returns among style indexes; we may wish to create separate data pages for each index provider (although a spreadsheet version of this data would be appropriate for number crunching). This would be a major undertaking. It would be easier to defer this to the papers which have been written on this phenomenon, but they may not be accessible.
  5. A link to the page Alternate Indexes would allow us to treat the following:
  • Social Responsibility Indexes
  • Fundamental Indexes
  • Equal Weighted Indexes
  • Dividend Weighted Indexes
  • Inverse and Leveraged Indexes

Grammar check: Suggest use of "Indices" instead of "Indexes", also "Alternative Indices" instead of "Alternate Indexes" I think this reflects more appropriate usage. OK if I change this? Will affect several pages. LadyGeek 02:11, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
