Benchmark Metrics
CI Canadian Convertible Bond ETF has an annualized alpha of 3.68%, beta of 0.13, and R2 of 0.03 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since June 07, 2011.
- This ETF participated in 26.49% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 25.60% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.13 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.03 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 0.03 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.
