Benchmark Metrics

- This index participated in 121.12% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 106.43% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.47 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.05 this index is largely uncorrelated with S&P 500 Index — low beta reflects independence, not downside protection. See the Volatility section for a true picture of this index's risk.
- R² of 0.05 means this index moves largely independently of S&P 500 Index — capture ratios reflect limited market correlation rather than active downside protection. Consider using a more representative benchmark.
