Benchmark Metrics

DFA Emerging Markets Targeted Value Portfolio has an annualized alpha of 3.60%, beta of 0.44, and R² of 0.31 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since November 15, 2018.

  • This fund participated in 83.19% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 71.07% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.44 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.31 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 0.31 means the benchmark explains less than half of this fund's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
