Benchmark Metrics
VanEck Vectors Investment Grade Floating Rate ETF has an annualized alpha of 4.85%, beta of 0.02, and R2 of 0.11 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since April 27, 2011.
- This ETF captured 11.67% of S&P 500 Index gains and tended to rise during its downturns (downside capture of -13.89%) - a profile typical of hedging or uncorrelated assets.
- Beta of 0.02 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.11 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 0.11 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.
