Benchmark Metrics

iShares Bloomberg Roll Select Commodity Strategy ETF has an annualized alpha of 5.84%, beta of 0.23, and R² of 0.10 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since April 06, 2018.

  • This ETF participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (35.41%) than losses (28.12%) — typical of diversified or defensive assets.
  • Beta of 0.23 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.10 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 0.10 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.
