Benchmark Metrics
Direxion Daily GOOGL Bear 1X Shares has an annualized alpha of -6.64%, beta of -1.21, and R2 of 0.39 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since September 07, 2022.
- This ETF tended to rise when S&P 500 Index fell (downside capture of -205.43%), but participation in market rallies was also limited (-93.07%) - a profile typical of counter-cyclical assets.
- Beta of -1.21 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.39 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 0.39 means the benchmark explains less than half of this ETF's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
