what is the definition of "tracking error" in Asset Management Field?

Written on October 8, 2009 at 3:17 am, by admin

Tracking error is the standard deviation of the portfolio of differences:
Let X be your portfolio; let B be the chosen benchmark.
Then d=X-B is the portfolio of differences (which adds to zero)
then TE=std(d) is the tracking error. If you have a covariance matrix S for your assets, then
TE=((X-B)’S(X-B))^(1/2).

Tracking error “interpretation” is the uncertainty of the excess returns (that is, of the return of the portfolio vs the benchmark’s)

My next question would be then, what if they did already send me a check, I deposited it into my account and the check cleared?

Ok. Let me tell you something. All you have to do is read the very first sentence to know this is a scam.

Probably sent from Nigeria or somewhere else.

Willie GOFF….come on. You can’t see a make believe name when you read one??? "Its good to read from you????"

Finally, this idea of cashing money orders and then sending the balance via western union is one of the biggest, most well known, notorious scams operating today. They send you
Conterfeit money orders, which you then illegally cash in your own name!!!! You take ALL of the criminal risk.

Period. Trust me on this. Unfortunately, these assholes are now targeting Job Boards and Job Banks. I would take this letter down to your local police station and let them know that these guys are operating in your area if they have targeted a local job bank.

I am quite serious about all of this. This is a KNOWN scam.
When you cash illegal conterfeit money orders, you are violating about 10 serious laws!!!!!!!

Try reading this again. This is not written by a person who speaks English!!!!!!!!!
