tracker fund
Investment funds that invest in a share portfolio weighted according to the market capitalisation of the various shares in that index, e.g., the FTSE 100. They buy and sell shares according to changes in relative market capitalisation of the companies. These tracker funds thus try to "track" the market rather than beat it. Financial Services Glossary

A fund that aims to mirror the performance of a chosen share index. The amount invested in each company is proportional to the company's weighting on the target index. Management fees for a passively managed tracker fund is lower than an active fund. London Stock Exchange Glossary
