Benchmark Metrics
iShares Core MSCI World UCITS ETF has an annualized alpha of 6.67%, beta of 0.41, and R² of 0.23 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since May 26, 2017.
- This ETF participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (89.67%) than losses (87.95%) — typical of diversified or defensive assets.
- Beta of 0.41 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.23 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 0.23 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.
