Benchmark Metrics

VanEck Vectors Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF has an annualized alpha of 2.91%, beta of 0.32, and R² of 0.34 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since April 12, 2012.

  • This ETF participated in 45.97% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 43.79% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.32 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.34 this ETF 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 ETF's risk.
  • R² of 0.34 means the benchmark explains less than half of this ETF's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
