Benchmark Metrics

- This fund participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (64.98%) than losses (16.52%) - typical of diversified or defensive assets.
- Beta of 0.33 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.30 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 0.30 means the benchmark explains less than half of this fund's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
