Benchmark Metrics
Catalyst/Millburn Hedge Strategy Fund Class I has an annualized alpha of 2.73%, beta of 0.50, and R2 of 0.46 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since December 28, 2015.
- This fund participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (44.08%) than losses (35.78%) - typical of diversified or defensive assets.
- Beta of 0.50 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.46 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 0.46 means the benchmark explains less than half of this fund's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
