Morphology
The compound is directly compositional: 'index' (a market indicator) + 'fund' (a pooled investment vehicle) yields a fund that is based on or follows an index. The core meaning — a fund that tracks an index — is predictable from the constituents and cross-linguistically paralleled, so a B1 learner who knows both words would likely infer the MWE's basic sense.
Etymology
Index fund comes from the idea of a fund that simply buys what a market index lists. Imagine a pool of money following a shopping list of stocks so it 'matches the market', and that's why an index fund aims to give returns like the whole market and often has low fees.
