Build Your Own Index Fund - the Analysis Tool, Without the Brokerage

You want the discipline of an index without paying a fund to pick for you. Indexes lets you weight your own basket, backtest it against real history, and follow it against a benchmark, all as analysis, without ever placing a trade.

Educational only · Never places a trade

In short

To build your own index fund with Indexes, you choose the holdings you believe in, set a weight for each, and name the basket. Indexes then backtests that weighting against real historical market data, showing hypothetical historical performance next to a benchmark like the S&P 500 so you can see how the rules would have behaved. Once you are satisfied, you track the index over time and watch it move against that benchmark day by day. Indexes is an analysis tool, not a fund and not a brokerage: there is no account minimum, no money changes hands, and no trade is ever placed. It is informational and educational only, never investment advice, and it is globally accessible because it analyzes rather than transacts. Past performance does not guarantee future results, and a backtest is a hypothetical illustration of the past, not a prediction.

// THE FIT

Why it fits

Self-directed investors who want the structure of an index they define themselves, backtested and tracked as analysis, without a fund or a brokerage account.

Your weights, your rules

Pick the holdings and set each weight yourself, equal-weight or conviction-weighted, and Indexes treats the whole basket as one index you can name and follow.

Backtested against real history

See how your weighting would have behaved against real market data as hypothetical historical performance, next to a benchmark, so the rules are tested before you commit to watching them.

Analysis, not a brokerage

Indexes never places a trade, connects to a broker, or holds money. There is no account minimum, and it works anywhere because it studies the market rather than transacting in it.
