Benchmark Metrics
SmartETFs Dividend Builder ETF has an annualized alpha of 4.69%, beta of 0.68, and R2 of 0.19 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since March 29, 2021.
- This ETF participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (70.87%) than losses (70.68%) - typical of diversified or defensive assets.
- Beta of 0.68 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.19 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 0.19 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.
