Benchmark Metrics
AB Emerging Markets Multi-Asset Portfolio has an annualized alpha of -0.71%, beta of 0.51, and R2 of 0.44 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since August 31, 2011.
- This fund participated in 84.77% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 59.37% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.51 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.44 this fund 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 fund's risk.
- R2 of 0.44 means the benchmark explains less than half of this fund's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
