In particular, Approach2 mcustomizeto refleclient preferences. 前面有老师回答tracking error=active return/active risk。用来衡量主动管理的active return(Rp-Rb)的波动程度，tracking error越大，表明portfolio的收益与benchmark收益viation的越大，所以，主动管理的程度越高。明白了这一点，从tracking error的角度，pure inx＜enhaninxing＜active management。pure inx基本没有tracking errer。之前做过一道类似的题，答案并不是完全复制的tracking risk 最小，因为还要考虑交易费用和其他成本。
