A tracking index is an index designed to serve investors in portfolio management. Investors can accurately track the returns of an index by holding exactly those shares comprising the index. TASE's tracking equity indices are quoted real time throughout the trading day and include only those shares populating the index universes.
A benchmarking index is an index relating to a designated group of securities (for example, a specific industry group or sector). These indices are not normally quoted continuously and their objective is to reflect the state of the market for the given industry. TASE's equity benchmarking indices are quoted at the end of each trading day and include all TASE-traded shares grouped in different categories.
