I have replicated them myself in Excel and had a play with them.<BR/><BR/>I am curious as to why you wish to establish a SMSF and invest in index funds, rather than just invest within index funds within your current Mastertrust (or an alternative mastertrust).

But there is subtle structure in the short term underlying stock price movements which can be recovered with high levels of statistical significance. This isn't the conventional view.
