| 1960 | The first theoretical model for an index fund is suggested by Edward Renshaw and Paul Feldstein, both students at the University of Chicago. While their idea for an "Unmanaged Investment Company" garners little support, it would start off a sequence of events in the 1960s that would lead to the creation of the first index fund in the next decade.[1] | |
| 1967 | Qualidex Fund, Inc., a Florida Corporation, is chartered by Richard A. Beach. | |
| 1973 | John McQuown and David G. Booth of Wells Fargo, and Rex Sinquefield of the American National Bank in Chicago, establish the first two Standard and Poor's Composite Index Funds. | |
| 1974 | The first multiclient index fund is probably launched by Batterymarch Financial Management.[2] | |
| 2008 | Warren Buffett makes a bet that an S&P 500 index fund would beat a basket of actively managed hedge funds over 10 years. By the end of 2017, it would be clear Buffett won the bet.[3] |
