Benchmark Metrics

Direxion Daily META Bear 1X ETF has an annualized alpha of 11.23%, beta of -1.43, and R² of 0.43 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since June 06, 2024.

  • This ETF tended to rise when S&P 500 Index fell (downside capture of -329.16%), but participation in market rallies was also limited (-109.39%) — a profile typical of counter-cyclical assets.
  • Beta of -1.43 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.43 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 0.43 means the benchmark explains less than half of this ETF's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
