Benchmark Metrics

FlexShares ESG & Climate Investment Grade Corporate Core Index Fund has an annualized alpha of -1.74%, beta of 0.15, and R² of 0.12 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since September 22, 2021.

  • This ETF participated in 56.51% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 27.72% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.15 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.12 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 0.12 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.
