Benchmark Metrics
FT Energy Income Partners Strategy ETF has an annualized alpha of 6.62%, beta of 0.54, and R2 of 0.30 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since November 03, 2022.
- This ETF participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (55.11%) than losses (22.98%) - typical of diversified or defensive assets.
- Beta of 0.54 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.30 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 0.30 means the benchmark explains less than half of this ETF's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
