Benchmark Metrics
LSV Emerging Markets Equity Fund has an annualized alpha of 6.64%, beta of 0.53, and R2 of 0.43 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since January 28, 2019.
- This fund participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (79.99%) than losses (76.93%) - typical of diversified or defensive assets.
- Beta of 0.53 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.43 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 0.43 means the benchmark explains less than half of this fund's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
