Tracking Portfolio

The information ratio for a tracking portfolio is:

A. expected to be zero.
B. an indicator of a manager's systematic risk exposure.
C. an indicator of a manager's pure stock selection ability.


Answer: C


A tracking portfolio is designed to have the same systematic risk as the benchmark. Hence, any difference in portfolio versus benchmark returns comes from security selection.
