Benchmark Metrics
ProShares Short Bitcoin ETF has an annualized alpha of -7.01%, beta of -1.27, and R2 of 0.16 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since June 21, 2022.
- This ETF tended to rise when S&P 500 Index fell (downside capture of -129.94%), but participation in market rallies was also limited (-97.30%) - a profile typical of counter-cyclical assets.
- Beta of -1.27 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.16 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 0.16 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.
