I revisited this one today ... after one of those weeks ... I'll note that my answer actually focused on your reference where your term is used in the header, and where I think my suggestion works better. Your actual context seems to be in running text describing a fund, where my term may be too 'formal'. While a tracker fund is indeed what is being discussed, I've read through a lot of similar fund descriptions (Bloomberg, MSCI, and Morningstar), tho certainy not all (ha-ha), and tracking, matching, and many similar descriptive terms are used to describe funds that are not strictly aligned with a particular index, as in 'trying' to follow index. 'Index replicating' seems to be used more in regulatory contexts and the like. |
