Benchmark Metrics
KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF has an annualized alpha of 5.83%, beta of 0.61, and R2 of 0.14 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since March 05, 2014.
- This ETF participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (53.76%) than losses (43.98%) - 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.
