Important Disclosures About Index Data
All pre-launch index information reflects hypothetical backtesting based on index methodology assumptions, not actual performance. Important considerations:
- Backtested results apply methodology retroactively with knowledge of past events
- May contain survivorship bias and other limitations
- Actual performance often differs significantly from hypothetical results
- Past performance never guarantees future results
For complete details on methodology and limitations, refer to the Performance Disclosures.

Q: How reliable are backtested index results?
A: While useful for methodology testing, backtests have inherent limitations and shouldn't be viewed as performance guarantees.
Q: Can I invest directly in cryptocurrency indices?
A: No, but many financial products (like ETFs) track these indices, offering exposure to their performance.
Q: What's the difference between spot and futures cryptocurrency indices?
