Vi har för 38 Sverigefonder under perioden 2000-2009 använt Tracking Error för att mäta i vilken utsträckning dessa är aktivt förvaltade. Fondernas aktivitetsgrad har sedan jämförts med deras förmögenhet, avgifter, omsättningshastighet och hur koncentrerade deras innehav är med syftet att förklara varför vissa fonder är mer aktivt förvaltade än andra. Fondernas Tracking Error har även jämförts med
