Benchmark Metrics
Ave Maria Value Focused Fund has an annualized alpha of -3.03%, beta of 0.57, and R2 of 0.15 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since April 28, 2025.
- This fund captured 16.48% of S&P 500 Index gains and tended to rise during its downturns (downside capture of -85.08%) - a profile typical of hedging or uncorrelated assets.
- Beta of 0.57 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.15 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 0.15 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.
