Primary Investment Objective
The Motilal Oswal S&P 500 Index Fund’s primary objective is to generate returns that mirror the S&P 500 index (subject to tracking error). However, there’s no guarantee that the primary objective of the scheme will be met.
What Is Tracking Error?
Tracking error measures the difference between the returns generated by the index fund versus the returns generated by the underlying index it is trying to mirror.
A low tracking error means that the index fund is doing well. Higher tracking error implies that the fund is performing poorly.
