Benchmark Metrics

Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund Class A has an annualized alpha of -0.37%, beta of 0.24, and R2 of 0.09 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since November 30, 2010.

  • This fund participated in 57.22% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 31.04% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.24 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.09 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 0.09 means this fund 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.
