Benchmark Metrics
iShares Cohen & Steers REIT ETF has an annualized alpha of 6.49%, beta of 0.36, and R2 of 0.10 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since February 05, 2001.
- This ETF captured 36.61% of S&P 500 Index gains and tended to rise during its downturns (downside capture of -11.15%) - a profile typical of hedging or uncorrelated assets.
- Beta of 0.36 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.
