Benchmark Metrics
Defiance Daily Target 2X Short IONQ ETF has an annualized alpha of -39.28%, beta of -6.67, and R2 of 0.20 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since June 24, 2025.
- This ETF tended to rise when S&P 500 Index fell (downside capture of -596.09%), but participation in market rallies was also limited (-210.03%) - a profile typical of counter-cyclical assets.
- Beta of -6.67 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.20 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 0.20 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.
