Benchmark Metrics

ProShares Shrt Bitcoin ETF has an annualized alpha of -14.50%, beta of -1.28, and R² of 0.16 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since June 22, 2022.

  • This ETF tended to rise when S&P 500 Index fell (downside capture of -71.60%), but participation in market rallies was also limited (-106.61%) — a profile typical of counter-cyclical assets.
  • Beta of -1.28 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.
