A system comprises a memory operable to store a compound index that is
based at least in part on a plurality of component indices. The plurality
of component indices comprise an international developed markets equity
index, a U.S. large-cap equity index, and a U.S. small-cap equity index.
The compound index is further based at least in part on a plurality of
weights, wherein each weight is associated with a respective one of the
plurality of component indices. The system further comprises a processor
communicatively coupled to the memory and operable to update the
plurality of weights according to a regression analysis. The regression
analysis is based at least in part on a respective set of returns
associated with each of the plurality of component indices and with a
hedge fund index. The plurality of weights are updated such that the
compound index emulates the hedge fund index. The processor is further
operable to determine a current compound index value based at least in
part on the plurality of component indices and on the updated plurality
of weights. The processor is further operable to transmit the current
compound index value to one or more clients.
