Benchmark Metrics

iShares BIC 50 UCITS ETF has an annualized alpha of -2.03%, beta of 0.58, and R² of 0.15 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since September 28, 2007.

  • This ETF participated in 88.87% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 50.16% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.58 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.15 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 0.15 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.
