Vanguard tax-managed fund tracking error
Tracking error
Vanguard tax-managed fund tracking error provides historical data for Vanguard's U.S. tax-managed funds. Tracking error is one means of measuring a manager performance against an appropriate market index. The tax-managed funds now encompass three mutual funds:
- The Vanguard Tax-Managed Balanced Fund [1]
- The Vanguard Tax-Managed Capital Appreciation Fund[2]
- The Vanguard Tax-Managed Small Cap Fund[3]
A fourth fund, the Tax-Managed Growth & Income fund, was merged into the Vanguard 500 Index fund in 2014.[note 1]
On May 13, 2011 the funds eliminated investor share classes and transferred investor share class holdings to the lower cost admiral share class.
