Benchmark Metrics
BlackRock Capital Allocation Term Trust has an annualized alpha of 0.44%, beta of 0.60, and R2 of 0.40 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since September 25, 2020.
- This stock participated in 87.00% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 68.03% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.60 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.40 this stock 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 stock's risk.
- R2 of 0.40 means the benchmark explains less than half of this stock's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
