Benchmark Metrics

American Century Diversified Corporate Bond ETF has an annualized alpha of 1.78%, beta of 0.09, and R² of 0.12 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since January 17, 2018.

  • This ETF participated in 25.55% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 19.17% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.09 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.12 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 0.12 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.
