Benchmark Metrics
Invesco S&P Emerging Markets Low Volatility ETF has an annualized alpha of -2.64%, beta of 0.59, and R2 of 0.49 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since January 13, 2012.
- This ETF participated in 76.31% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 50.42% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.59 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.49 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 0.49 means the benchmark explains less than half of this ETF's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
