I dont think the LOS requires us to calculate this? Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. I haven't seen detailed explanations in schweser or the cfai books. From memory CFAI books have a short answer question somewhere in quant that you can look at however I don't think its a explicit requirement of the LOS's.
Well, I don't remember seeing any formula for tracking error... just that it is the error that arises when you track an index because you don't replicate an index which has many stocks... you just approximate... My guess would be that it would be something like
(Difference in your return and index's return / Return of the index) * 100
You are right. The example on page 505 gives the definition of tracking error and tracking risk (which apparently are two different things)
Did not remember this at all!
