Abstract:

Managing tracking error on an ex ante basis requires an ability to assess the possible effects of trades on a fund's performance relative to its benchmark. This paper develops several simple diagnostic tools to help fund managers evaluate alternative trading strategies in terms of their potential for reducing tracking error. Moreover, risk reductions can be readily balanced against trading requirements and impacts on active return to identify desirable strategies.Journal of Asset Management (2005) 5, 410-422; doi:10.1057/palgrave.jam.2240157
