Benchmark Metrics
Guggenheim Active Allocation Fund has an annualized alpha of -0.02%, beta of 0.46, and R2 of 0.21 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since November 24, 2021.
- This fund participated in 86.44% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 62.12% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.46 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.21 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 0.21 means this fund 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.
