Benchmark Metrics
Xtrackers Harvest CSI 500 China A-Shares Small Cap ETF has an annualized alpha of 3.62%, beta of 0.61, and R2 of 0.11 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since May 21, 2014.
- This ETF participated in 68.73% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 55.34% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.61 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.11 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 0.11 means this ETF 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.
