Based on the results of your findings, complete the following analysis: 1. What all factors account for the tracking error of the constructed portfolios? 2. What is the relationship between tracking error and portfolio sample size? 3. What might be the most optimal way to decrease tracking error without having to construct a full portfolio matching the entire index NB: Make use of R package or Excel.
