What is Tracking Error in passive mutual funds and ETFs?

Tracking Error (TE) is the annualized standard deviation of daily excess returns between a passive index fund or ETF and its benchmark index (such as Nifty 50 or Sensex). It measures how consistently the fund replicates the index day-to-day. Lower tracking error signifies tighter replication and disciplined cash drag management.

What is the difference between Tracking Error and Tracking Difference?

Tracking Difference is the actual percentage of returns you lose compared to the index over a time period (Index Return minus Fund Return). It already includes the expense ratio and cash drag. Tracking Error, on the other hand, measures the day-to-day volatility or bumpiness of that return gap.

How does Total Expense Ratio (TER) affect index fund performance?

The Total Expense Ratio (TER) is the recurring annual fee charged by the AMC, deducted daily from the fund's NAV. A higher TER creates a continuous drag on compounding returns, directly widening the fund's tracking difference over long investment horizons.

What metrics can I track historically on this screener?

You can track historical timelines of Tracking Error (%), Total Expense Ratio (TER %), Assets Under Management (AUM in ₹ Crores), Yield to Maturity (YTM %), Average Maturity, and Modified Duration across 6-month, 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year time horizons.

How often are passive fund metrics updated on ProFinPlanner?

All scheme metrics are sourced directly from monthly AMC factsheets and updated once a month as soon as factsheets are released by asset management companies.

Evaluation Methodology: Tracking Error, Expense Ratio & Debt Metrics

Tracking Error (SEBI Formula)

Calculated as the annualized standard deviation of daily excess returns: TE = √250 × σ(R_fund − R_index). Lower tracking error signifies tighter replication discipline and minimal cash drag.

Total Expense Ratio (TER) & AUM

A lower TER directly mitigates return drag over compounding horizons. Higher AUM funds generally feature tighter bid-ask spreads on exchange order books and robust secondary market liquidity.

YTM & Modified Duration (Debt)

Yield to Maturity (YTM) indicates gross portfolio yield if securities are held to maturity. Modified duration gauges sensitivity to RBI repo rate changes—shorter duration reduces capital volatility.

Data Sourcing & Update Schedule: All scheme metrics are sourced directly from AMC Factsheets and updated once a month based on the availability and release schedules of factsheets from various AMCs.

Missing Data: Metrics where — is displayed indicate data missing in the AMC's factsheet or that the factsheet itself has not yet been published for the recent month.
