Benchmark Metrics
Brown Capital Management International Small Company Fund has an annualized alpha of 0.33%, beta of 0.57, and R2 of 0.36 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since January 04, 2016.
- This fund participated in 108.56% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 83.09% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.57 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.36 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 0.36 means the benchmark explains less than half of this fund's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
