Benchmark Metrics

Morningstar Multisector Bond Fund has an annualized alpha of 1.21%, beta of 0.14, and R² of 0.23 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since November 06, 2018.

  • This fund participated in 49.27% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 30.80% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.14 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.23 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 0.23 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.
