Benchmark Metrics

Dimensional Multi-Asset Fund has an annualized alpha of 5.49%, beta of 0.32, and R2 of 0.10 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since February 24, 2010.

  • This fund participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (43.66%) than losses (37.27%) - typical of diversified or defensive assets.
  • Beta of 0.32 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.10 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 0.10 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.
