Our take

Closet indexing
Warning

Closet indexer — active fees, passive behavior

This fund charges active-management fees but closely tracks its benchmark index. You may be paying a premium for active management that does not meaningfully exist — a combination of high R² versus the benchmark, low tracking error, and a TER sitting well above the passive peer-group median.
