The higher the TE, the more active the fund’s return has been, with the 2-4% range considered to be barely active, 4-6% range considered to be reasonably active and anything higher attributed to concentrated/focused funds. Funds with TE of less than 2% can be considered to be closet indexers.

This fund was negative in June 2016 till December 2017 then  was positive mostly around 1-2 and now it is around 2 which is good.
