Benchmark Metrics

iShares iBonds 2025 Term High Yield & Income ETF has an annualized alpha of 1.14%, beta of 0.29, and R² of 0.26 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since May 10, 2019.

  • This ETF participated in 24.95% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 23.15% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.29 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.26 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 0.26 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.
