Benchmark Metrics

iShares Core MSCI EM IMI UCITS ETF USD (Dist) has an annualized alpha of -0.35%, beta of 0.54, and R² of 0.28 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since March 13, 2018.

  • This ETF participated in 85.35% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 63.04% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.54 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.28 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 0.28 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.
