Benchmark Metrics

Simplify Enhanced Income ETF has an annualized alpha of -1.47%, beta of 0.31, and R² of 0.24 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since October 31, 2022.

  • This ETF captured 8.57% of S&P 500 Index gains and tended to rise during its downturns (downside capture of -2.86%) — a profile typical of hedging or uncorrelated assets.
  • Beta of 0.31 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.24 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 0.24 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.
