Benchmark Metrics
STOXX Europe 600 Index has an annualized alpha of -0.97%, beta of 0.50, and R2 of 0.29 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since April 26, 2004.
- This index participated in 89.25% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 62.43% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.50 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.29 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 0.29 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.
