Benchmark Metrics
Franklin LifeSmart 2050 Retirement Target Fund has an annualized alpha of 2.48%, beta of 0.63, and R² of 0.41 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since January 05, 2015.
- This fund participated in 87.80% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 81.14% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.63 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.41 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 0.41 means the benchmark explains less than half of this fund's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
