Benchmark Metrics

Franklin Global Quality Dividend UCITS ETF has an annualized alpha of 4.21%, beta of 0.43, and R2 of 0.30 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since September 06, 2017.

  • This ETF participated in 76.47% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 68.02% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.43 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.30 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 0.30 means the benchmark explains less than half of this ETF's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
