Benchmark Metrics
Direxion Daily META Bear 1X ETF has an annualized alpha of 22.49%, beta of -1.42, and R2 of 0.40 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since June 05, 2024.
- This ETF tended to rise when S&P 500 Index fell (downside capture of -402.04%), but participation in market rallies was also limited (-85.75%) - a profile typical of counter-cyclical assets.
- Beta of -1.42 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.40 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 0.40 means the benchmark explains less than half of this ETF's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
