Benchmark Metrics
iShares S&P Small Cap 600 UCITS ETF USD (Dist) has an annualized alpha of 5.56%, beta of 0.64, and R2 of 0.31 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since May 09, 2008.
- This ETF captured 105.36% of S&P 500 Index gains and 100.68% of its losses - amplifying both gains and losses, but participating more in upside than downside.
- Beta of 0.64 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.31 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 0.31 means the benchmark explains less than half of this ETF's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
