Benchmark Metrics

iShares MSCI Japan USD Hedged UCITS ETF Accumulating has an annualized alpha of 7.02%, beta of 0.57, and R² of 0.24 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since October 08, 2013.

  • This ETF participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (78.83%) than losses (66.69%) — typical of diversified or defensive assets.
  • Beta of 0.57 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.24 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 0.24 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.
