Tracker fund The fund that manages the capital invested in a specific tracker.
Tracker or Exchange Traded Fund Trackers are open-ended mutual funds that seek to match the returns of a market index. The funds usually invest in the securities that make up the corresponding index. When you invest in index funds, you are essentially seeking to "buy the market" and not trying to outperform it.
Tracker share A unit in a tracker fund. This is also the minimum trading unit of a tracker.
Tracking error Indicator measuring the volatility of the return on a portfolio relative to the return on the underlying index. The unit of measurement is the standard deviation over a period of time, usually 60 days. In a passively managed portfolio, the lower the tracking error, the better the replication of the index.
Transferable securities
