Benchmark Metrics
Franklin Emerging Market Core Equity (IU) Fund Advisor has an annualized alpha of 1.93%, beta of 0.65, and R2 of 0.48 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since September 26, 2019.
- This fund participated in 76.91% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 69.41% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.65 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.48 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 0.48 means the benchmark explains less than half of this fund's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
