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, 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.

TE of the fund has been moderately active since the start with TE ranging upto 8.15%. The fund seems to be well managed and active.

Information ratio

The information ratio is a measure of ‘risk-adjusted return’ as it’s the excess return per unit of excess volatility. Active funds should have IR of higher than 1, ideally higher than 1.3 at least to indicate skill.

The IR of the fund was ideal in the start, although since the year 2016, the IR of the fund has  constantly been below the minimum benchmark and it wasn’t able to go above 0-1%. This indicates that the fund wasn’t doing better than the expected benchmark.
