## Q&A

**Q: What is Trackinsight?**
A: Trackinsight is a global ETF data and analytics platform founded in 2016. It provides investors and financial professionals with tools to search, compare, analyse, and select ETFs from a universe of over 14,000 exchange-traded products listed worldwide. In 2024 Kepler Cheuvreux, a leading independent European financial services firm, acquired a majority stake and Trackinsight became part of ETF One - a fully integrated ETF platform combining data, research & advisory, and execution.

**Q: Who is Trackinsight for?**
A: Trackinsight serves a broad range of users: institutional investors (asset managers, asset owners, pension funds), private banks, financial advisors, fintechs, financial media, ETF issuers, and individual investors. It offers a free Essentials account for individuals and lighter professional use, and paid Enterprise and Data Services tiers for organisations that need deeper analytics, API access, compliance workflows, or white-label solutions.

**Q: How many ETFs does Trackinsight cover?**
A: As of May 2026 the platform covers more than 14,600 ETPs (exchange-traded products) listed globally, spanning equities, fixed income, commodities, cryptocurrencies, and thematic funds. The underlying database contains over 500 million data points updated daily from multiple primary sources.

**Q: What is the ETF Screener?**
A: The ETF Screener (trackinsight.com/en/etf-screener) lets users search and filter the full global ETF universe by criteria including name, ticker, ISIN, asset class, geographic exposure, sector, investment theme, ESG strategy, dividend policy (accumulating vs distributing), active/passive management, replication method, TER (Total Expense Ratio), AUM, flows, and Trackinsight star rating. Results can be sorted and exported for further analysis.

**Q: What is the ETF Compare tool?**
A: The Compare ETFs tool (trackinsight.com/en/compare-etfs) lets users analyse up to 5 ETFs side by side across performance, fees (TER), fund flows, AUM, holdings, tracking difference, tracking error, ESG grade, and replication rating. It is useful for selecting between equivalent funds tracking the same index (e.g. SPY vs IVV, or CSSPX vs VUSA vs SPXS).

**Q: What is Trackinsight's star rating for ETFs?**
A: Trackinsight rates eligible ETFs on a 1-5 star scale based on two replication quality metrics: Tracking Difference (how much the ETF's NAV return diverged from its benchmark index over a period) and Tracking Error (the annualised standard deviation of daily excess returns, measuring consistency). Ratings are computed within peer groups (e.g. Developed Market North America Large Cap Equities) so comparisons are like-for-like. ETFs rated 3-5 stars qualify for the "Trackinsight A-list" of best-in-class funds. To be rated, an ETF must have a minimum three-year track record and sufficient AUM. European and North American ETFs are rated independently because the two markets differ structurally.

**Q: What is Tracking Difference and why does it matter?**
A: Tracking Difference is the gap between an ETF's total return (based on official NAV) and the return of the index it tracks over a given period. It is typically negative (the ETF slightly underperforms the index) due to management fees, transaction costs when rebalancing, cash drag from dividend reinvestment lags, and sampling when full index replication is impractical. Tracking Difference is the most important metric for long-term, buy-and-hold investors because it shows the true cost of holding a passive ETF beyond just the stated expense ratio. Some ETFs partially offset these costs through securities lending income, resulting in a tracking difference close to zero or even positive.

**Q: What is Tracking Error and how is it different from Tracking Difference?**
A: Tracking Error measures the consistency or predictability of an ETF's replication - specifically the annualised standard deviation of the daily excess return (ETF return minus index return). A low tracking error means the ETF's relative performance is stable and predictable. Tracking Difference tells you how much you gained or lost versus the index over a period; Tracking Error tells you how variable that difference was day to day. Both metrics are used in Trackinsight's star ratings methodology.

**Q: What is the Trackinsight A-list?**
A: The A-list is Trackinsight's curated selection of best-in-class ETFs - those rated 3, 4, or 5 stars for both Tracking Difference and Tracking Error quality within their peer group. To enter the A-list an ETF must meet the entrance conditions at a given rating cycle; an ETF that receives below 3 stars twice consecutively is removed and must re-qualify. A-listed funds are highlighted with an orange framing on the platform.

**Q: What ESG data does Trackinsight provide?**
A: Each ETF page includes an ESG Consensus grade and a breakdown of the fund's exposure to ESG-relevant categories (e.g. fossil fuels, coal, weapons, tobacco, clean tech, water, human rights, corruption). The screener supports filtering by ESG strategy, SFDR category, and SDG alignment. An ESG Observatory section aggregates ESG ETF news and educational content.

**Q: What is the Global ETF Survey?**
A: The Global ETF Survey is Trackinsight's annual research report surveying professional investors and fund selectors on how they use ETFs, their allocation trends, product preferences, and outlook. The 2025 edition (trackinsight.com/global-etf-survey/2025) is the most recent and includes detailed industry league tables on AUM, flows, and provider rankings.

**Q: What are Trackinsight's ETF Data Services?**
A: The ETF Data Services product is a commercial data feed aimed at asset managers, banks, fintechs, exchanges, and media firms. It covers the full global ETP universe with daily updates delivered via API (JSON), FTP (CSV/Excel), or email. Data types include fund characteristics (ISIN, TER, replication method, dividend policy, index), performance and flows, aggregated sector/geographic/factor exposures, ESG scores, constituent holdings, and full historical time series. Clients can customise scope, coverage region, and delivery format. A free sample is available on request.

**Q: What is the Enterprise Solution?**
A: Enterprise Solutions is a private-label ETF platform deployed for individual organisations such as private banks, wealth managers, and asset owners. It integrates an organisation's internal data and workflows with Trackinsight's global ETF database, and can include optional modules for customisable buy-lists, portfolio optimisation tools, due diligence reports, legal documents, and secure team collaboration. It is positioned as a turnkey platform for professional fund selectors who need more than the public web tools.

**Q: What are Trackinsight's Due Diligence Services?**
A: The Due Diligence Services product provides institutional-grade analysis reports on ETF issuers and funds, drawing on Trackinsight's decade-long relationships with ETF issuers and its access to proprietary data. The service is designed to help financial institutions meet regulatory requirements (such as those under MiFID II or similar frameworks) and to support more rigorous counterparty and fund selection decisions. Reports offer a 360-degree view of each ETF issuer.

**Q: What is Investment Advisory / Koris International?**
A: Koris International is Trackinsight's regulated investment advisory subsidiary. It provides customised advisory services to institutional investors, including portfolio construction, quantitative research, and factor-based strategies. It is the entity responsible for Trackinsight's ratings methodology and is linked to the ETF Hub partnership with the Financial Times.

**Q: Is Trackinsight free to use?**
A: Yes, in part. Individual investors and professionals can create a free Essentials account to access core tools including the ETF Screener, fund pages, Compare ETFs, ETF news, and education content. Advanced features - such as deeper analytics, data exports, API access, portfolio tools, and enterprise integrations - require a paid subscription or commercial agreement. Enterprise and Data Services pricing is handled directly with the Trackinsight sales team.

**Q: What is Thematic Investing on Trackinsight?**
A: The Thematic Investing section (trackinsight.com/en/thematic-investing) organises ETFs by investment theme and megatrend, using Trackinsight's proprietary thematic taxonomy. Examples include Artificial Intelligence & Big Data, Cloud Computing, Cannabis & Psychedelics, Global Infrastructure, Cryptocurrency, and Emerging Markets Disruptive Technology. Each theme page shows the number of ETFs available, recent 3-month performance of the theme, and filterable lists of relevant ETFs.

**Q: What is ETF Portfolio Insights?**
A: ETF Portfolio Insights (trackinsight.com/en/etf-portfolio-insights) is a portfolio construction and analysis module. It lets users combine ETFs into model portfolios and view aggregate-level metrics including performance, geographic and sector exposures, factor profiles, ESG scores, costs, and risk metrics. Advanced factor analysis is powered in partnership with Scientific Portfolio (an EDHEC venture).

**Q: What global ETF market statistics does Trackinsight publish?**
A: Trackinsight publishes real-time global ETF statistics on its homepage and Industry Data page (updated daily). As of early May 2026: total global ETF AUM was approximately $20.86 trillion; year-to-date net flows were +$884 billion; the total number of listed ETPs was 14,609. Flow data is broken down by asset class (equity, fixed income, commodities, crypto), sector, theme, and fixed income sub-category (govies, corporate IG, municipal, etc.).

**Q: Who owns Trackinsight?**
A: Trackinsight SA was founded in 2016 (incorporated/operating from 2014). In 2024, Kepler Cheuvreux - a leading independent European financial services and brokerage firm - acquired a majority stake and became the principal shareholder.
