Benchmark Metrics
Invesco SteelPath MLP Select 40 Fund Class A has an annualized alpha of 1.72%, beta of 0.67, and R2 of 0.28 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since April 07, 2010.
- This fund participated in 86.37% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 73.53% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.67 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.28 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 0.28 means this fund moves largely independently of S&P 500 Index - capture ratios reflect limited market correlation rather than active downside protection. Consider using a more representative benchmark.
