Benchmark Metrics

KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF has an annualized alpha of 5.56%, beta of 0.61, and R² of 0.14 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since March 06, 2014.

  • This ETF participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (52.59%) than losses (44.43%) — typical of diversified or defensive assets.
  • Beta of 0.61 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.14 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 0.14 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.
