Benchmark Metrics

AB Emerging Markets Multi-Asset Portfolio has an annualized alpha of -1.29%, beta of 0.49, and R² of 0.44 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since September 01, 2011.

  • This fund participated in 85.48% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 57.90% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.49 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.
