Benchmark Metrics
Virtus AlphaSimplex Managed Futures ETF has an annualized alpha of -2.07%, beta of 0.34, and R² of 0.26 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since May 17, 2024.
- This ETF participated in 44.06% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 23.55% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.34 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.26 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 0.26 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.
