Benchmark Metrics

- This ETF participated in 15.51% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 15.43% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.03 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.01 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 0.01 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.
