Show answer

Answer

  • D To track the performance of an index as closely as possible

Explanation

An index ETF aims to replicate the performance of its index, not to outperform it. To do this, it buys the index constituents or replicates them in another way. Active funds, by contrast, try to outperform a benchmark index through selection and weighting.
