Benchmark Metrics
Fidelity Freedom Blend Income Fund has an annualized alpha of 1.93%, beta of 0.17, and R2 of 0.43 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since September 04, 2018.
- This fund participated in 33.13% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 25.37% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.17 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.43 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 0.43 means the benchmark explains less than half of this fund's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
