The link from investopedia is interesting. If those numbers are accurate, and the goal is to offer something better than the I Fund's current index, then moving to the MSCI ACWI would be a very bad move. The article gives 11 years of data. From that, I calculate:

CAGR -13.35%, PNR 73% (8 of 11 years positive)

In comparison, the I Fund currently has CAGR 1.03%, PNR 60% for the last 10 years.

This is just another part of Trump's plan to Make America Great by keeping those investment dollars in the US. :)

Me too, why don't they just go with something like this?
