Benchmark Metrics
IQ MacKay ESG High Income ETF has an annualized alpha of 5.82%, beta of 0.18, and R² of 0.33 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since October 26, 2022.
- This ETF participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (35.60%) than losses (23.14%) — typical of diversified or defensive assets.
- Beta of 0.18 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.33 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 0.33 means the benchmark explains less than half of this ETF's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
