Benchmark Metrics
FlexShares Credit-Scored U.S. Long Corporate Bond Index Fund has an annualized alpha of 1.27%, beta of 0.19, and R2 of 0.07 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since September 24, 2015.
- This ETF participated in 58.17% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 35.45% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.19 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.07 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 0.07 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.
