Tracking Error Formula

Step 1 - Obtain the NAV values and the TR Index values for each day of the total time period required

Step 2 - Calculate the percentage change in the NAV and the TR Index for each day over its previous day

Percentage change in the NAV =

NAV as on day (t) - NAV as on day (t-1)

NAV as on day (t)

Step 3 : Calculate the difference between the percentage change in the NAV and the percentage change in the TR index for each day

Step 4 : Calculate the Standard Deviation of the difference obtained from day (1) to day (n) in step 3

Step 5 : Calculate the annualised tracking error as per the formula given below :

Annualised Tracking Error = Standard Deviation obtained (Step 4 * sqrt (250))
