Benchmark Metrics

Ishares J.P. Morgan Broad USD Emerging Markets Bond ETF has an annualized alpha of 4.63%, beta of 0.20, and R² of 0.26 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since February 27, 2023.

  • This ETF participated in 40.09% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 39.28% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.20 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.
