Benchmark Metrics
WisdomTree US High Dividend UCITS ETF has an annualized alpha of 4.47%, beta of 0.39, and R2 of 0.20 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since October 21, 2014.
- This ETF participated in 70.72% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 64.52% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.39 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.20 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 0.20 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.
