Benchmark Metrics
UBS Emerging Markets Equity Opportunity Fund has an annualized alpha of 1.96%, beta of 0.59, and R2 of 0.35 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since June 04, 2018.
- This fund participated in 75.18% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 64.05% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.59 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.35 this fund 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 fund's risk.
- R2 of 0.35 means the benchmark explains less than half of this fund's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
