Benchmark Metrics

iShares EM Dividend UCITS ETF USD (Dist) has an annualized alpha of -2.81%, beta of 0.56, and R2 of 0.26 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since November 25, 2011.

  • This ETF participated in 95.84% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 57.76% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.56 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.
