This may be out of scope for the exam, but the book does not explain it well. From my understanding, you take a diversified index, use the weightings, combine it with your expectations for various asset classes, and have it spit out an expected return number. The results from this are then used in a mean variance analysis to generate an efficient frontier.


Is that correct?
