Abstract
Apositive cash position has two disadvantages for
an index-tracking portfolio (a portfolio designed
to mimic the retum on an equity index). First, equity
indexes have a zero weight in cash, so a tracking
portfolio with a positive weight will suffer from
tracking error because of the mismatch in the cash
weight. Second, the risk-free retum is lower than the
expected retum on equities, so on average, a tracking
portfolio with a positive cash holding will underperform
the index portfolio.
