Tracking Error
Basics
Was es bedeutet
How closely an ETF follows the performance of its target index. Lower tracking error means the ETF is doing a better job of replicating the index returns (before fees).
Beispiel
If the S&P 500 returns 10% in a year and an S&P 500 ETF returns 9.9% (after a 0.03% expense ratio), it has very low tracking error. If it only returns 9.0%, it has high tracking error.
Der häufigste Anfängerfehler
Beginners assume all ETFs tracking the same index perform equally. Higher expense ratios, poor replication strategies, or illiquid holdings can cause some ETFs to underperform the index they track.
