Benchmark Metrics

ARK Venture Fund has an annualized alpha of 26.21%, beta of 0.52, and R² of 0.18 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since November 08, 2022.

  • This fund captured 140.78% of S&P 500 Index gains but only 58.34% of its losses — a favorable profile for investors.
  • Beta of 0.52 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.18 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 0.18 means this fund 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.
