A tracking error of zero means that the portfolio exactly follows its benchmark. The benchmark could be an index such as http://www.analystforum.com/forums/cfa-forums/cfa-general-discussion/9939876 S&P 500 index. Let’s say the S&P 500 index provides a return of 6% and your portfolio tracking the S&P 500 index earns 4% returns. The tracking error is calculated as follows: Tracking Error = Rp - Ri Where: p = portfolio i = index or benchmark In our example, the tracking error will be: Tracking error = 4% - 6% = -2% http://financetrain.com/what-is-tracking-error/ Morningstar defines tracking error as trailing returns. Tracking Risk: Tracking error sometimes also refers to tracking risk, which is the standard deviation of returns of the portfolio to benchmark returns over a period of time. This is a more commonly used method of calculating tracking error. Where n is the number of periods over which the returns are tracked. Tracking error is an important measure for investors to know how well the portfolio is replicating the index. A low tracking error indicates the portfolio is closely following the benchmark. A high tracking error means the portfolio is moving away from the benchmark index. Investors desire a low tracking error.
