Benchmark Metrics

iShares iBonds Dec 2029 Term Corporate ETF has an annualized alpha of 0.86%, beta of 0.11, and R2 of 0.10 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since September 19, 2019.

  • This ETF participated in 34.95% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 20.19% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.11 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.10 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 0.10 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.
