Benchmark Metrics
Xtrackers ShortDAX Daily Swap UCITS ETF (Acc) has an annualized alpha of -0.99%, beta of -0.55, and R2 of 0.26 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since June 14, 2007.
- This ETF tended to rise when S&P 500 Index fell (downside capture of -111.81%), but participation in market rallies was also limited (-59.71%) - a profile typical of counter-cyclical assets.
- Beta of -0.55 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.26 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 0.26 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.
