Benchmark Metrics

iPath Bloomberg Commodity Index Total Return ETN has an annualized alpha of -1.86%, beta of 0.35, and R² of 0.14 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since October 31, 2006.

  • This ETF participated in 66.04% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 36.30% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.35 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.14 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 0.14 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.
