The returns on the index portfolios are constructed by averaging the returns on the country portfolios.

We weight countries in the index portfolios in proportion to their EAFE + Canada weights.

Each country is added to the index portfolios when the return data for the country begin; the country start dates can be inferred from the country return files.
