Funds with TE of less than 2% can be considered to be closet indexers.

The TE is due to the active management at an average level between 4-6%. By May 2022, the fund’s TE was 9.1530%. TE came down to an all-time low of 3.5140% in March 2023. TE as of Jun-2023 stands at 4.0780% indicating active management.
