What is Tracking Error in the context of index funds and ETFs?
0% of students got this wrong
EXPLANATION
Tracking Error measures how closely a passive fund replicates its benchmark index. It is the standard deviation of the difference between the fund's returns and the index returns. Lower tracking error means better replication. It arises due to cash holdings, transaction costs, and timing differences.
