Market Index The market index for the fund is a composite index. It is made up of the indices used to measure the performance of the assets that the fund invests in. The market index return for the fund is calculated using the weighted average annual return of the market indices used to measure the performance of the assets that the fund invests in. This is calculated by multiplying the index return for each asset class by the target asset allocation weights for each asset class
