Benchmark Metrics
Guinness Atkinson US Dividend Builder ETF has an annualized alpha of -9.68%, beta of 0.46, and R2 of 0.32 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since December 22, 2025.
- This ETF participated in 96.63% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 36.22% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.46 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.32 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 0.32 means the benchmark explains less than half of this ETF's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
