Benchmark Metrics

Invesco DB Energy Fund has an annualized alpha of 1.08%, beta of 0.51, and R² of 0.13 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since January 08, 2007.

  • This ETF participated in 85.93% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 60.72% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.51 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.13 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 0.13 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.
