Methodology and scope

Basis. The analysis uses NETR variants only, which are MSCI net total return index levels in each index's base currency. The reported index level is not a currency-converted portfolio value.

Return and risk. YTD and 1-year returns use the latest available level divided by the last monthly level on or before the relevant start date. Volatility is the annualized standard deviation of monthly returns; maximum drawdown uses a rolling high-water mark.

Coverage. The supplied workbook contributes 44,897 observations across market-cap, thematic, sector, factor, and ESG lists. Figures are descriptive research, not investment recommendations.

Source: 20260630-cfa-monthly-index-levels-updated.xlsx. Analysis generated locally from the workbook; no external market-data series have been blended into the results.
