Benchmark Metrics
WisdomTree Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund has an annualized alpha of 2.10%, beta of 0.14, and R2 of 0.09 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since March 08, 2012.
- This ETF participated in 38.11% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 28.08% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.14 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.09 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 0.09 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.
