Benchmark Metrics
Janus Henderson High-Yield Fund Class T has an annualized alpha of 5.24%, beta of 0.10, and R2 of 0.14 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since June 17, 1996.
- This fund participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (35.65%) than losses (29.21%) - typical of diversified or defensive assets.
- Beta of 0.10 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.14 this fund 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 fund's risk.
- R2 of 0.14 means this fund 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.
