Benchmark Metrics
BrandywineGLOBAL - Corporate Credit Fund has an annualized alpha of 1.99%, beta of 0.11, and R2 of 0.22 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since August 05, 2021.
- This fund participated in 31.64% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 23.35% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.11 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.22 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 0.22 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.
