Featured Question:

“If Index Fund is passively investing in the index companies then why some of the fund's return are higher than the index itself! If it's due to tracking error then I suppose the error is made by intension. Please correct me.”

Index fund mutual funds usually give similar to or less return than the index itself, as they are tracking.

Example: If an index is growing at 13.7%, then its index fund mutual fund should give around 13.2% to 14.0% returns.

Although, it's very rare for mutual funds to give higher returns than index funds.

This can also be due to the reason that mutual funds add back the amount of dividend they receive.

Or due to the timing difference of investment/divestment.

Although there might be differences in returns, those differences are usually negligible.
