To track and to see more details on the Ivanka Trump connection to these stocks, go to Stockpickr.com, and check out the Ivanka Trump Stock Portfolio.

Assumptions:
This is a price-weighted index, similar to the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
Dividends were excluded.

Returns:
Ivanka index ended down over 2.4% from where it was three months ago, underperforming the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which was up 11.4%.
The drop in the Ivanka index was primarily due to the drop in the Trump Entertainment stock. Hopefully, the Ivanka index will turn around once she takes a more active role in Trump Entertainment.

Author owns TWX and TRMP.
