Risk measurement is strictly connected with the definition of a term of comparison with respect to which we can contrast and compare the risk/return profile of our portfolio. Moreover, it is common practice to monitor the performance of a portfolio, or a fund manager, with reference to an explicitly declared, or implicitly assumed, benchmark. This allows for a more objective assessment of the risk profile and the performance evaluation of the investment, linking it with current market conditions. The tracking error and tracking error volatility are widely used measures of how closely the investments behave with respect to the reference portfolio.
