Benchmark Metrics

Dimensional Multi-Blend Fund has an annualized alpha of 0.28%, beta of 0.26, and R2 of 0.09 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since April 26, 2013.

  • This fund participated in 61.55% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 36.06% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.26 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.09 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 0.09 means this fund 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.
