Benchmark Metrics
MainStay Candriam Emerging Markets Equity Fund has an annualized alpha of -1.15%, beta of 0.62, and R2 of 0.39 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since March 21, 2018.
- This fund participated in 93.58% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 68.82% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.62 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.39 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 0.39 means the benchmark explains less than half of this fund's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
