You can get a whole world index. MSCI offers an ETF like this (https://www.ishares.com/us/products/239600/ishares-msci-acwi...).

Vanguard's LifeStrategy funds are an index of indexes.

They're a fund of funds but not an index of indexes. An index of indexes would be composed of indexes weighted by how much money is invested in each. Vanguard's LifeStrategy funds have fixed allocations to each underlying fund.
