Snail trail analysis shows that the fund’s performance compared to the index is good. The fund earned good returns with low-risk levels between -1.8%- 0.50%. 

Tracking Error

The tracking error chart shows how the fund ‘tracks’ against the index. The higher the TE, the more active the fund’s return has been, with the 2-4% range considered to be barely active, the 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.

The fund has constantly maintained an active tracking error throughout late 2022 and till early 2023. A gradual increase can be seen from April 2023, this indicates that the fund is active. The average TE range is between 3-5.5%. 

Information Ratio

The information ratio is a measure of risk-adjusted return as its excess return per excess unit of volatility. Active funds must have an IR higher than 1, higher than 1.3 is considered ideal. 

The IR reached a peak of 3.1050 in January 2022. The decrease in IR indicates that the risk-adjusted returns are decreasing or the management could have opted for a passive approach. IR dropped down to -1.1700 in April 2023 and seems to be gaining its momentum in June 2023 at -0.4650.
