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 volatility in the TE shows the fund is active. With TE ranging from 2-4%, the fund can be either more concentrated or actively managed.  Aug-2022 has seen a high TE of 3.9480%.

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 increase in TE has caused low levels of IR in some areas. The positive slope in the chart till Dec 2023 indicates the fund had a good run. The fund did manage to beat the benchmark in certain periods. A drop in the IR from 2023 indicates the management of the fund deviated from its benchmark.  As of June 2023, IR is around -1.7090.
