Benchmark Metrics
iShares BIC 50 UCITS ETF (Dist) GBP has an annualized alpha of 0.24%, beta of 0.65, and R² of 0.19 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since April 24, 2007.
- This ETF participated in 80.31% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 56.88% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.65 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.19 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 0.19 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.
