Benchmark Metrics
Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Hard Currency ETF has an annualized alpha of 5.45%, beta of 0.36, and R2 of 0.49 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since August 11, 2025.
- This ETF participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (46.01%) than losses (22.17%) - typical of diversified or defensive assets.
- Beta of 0.36 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.49 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 0.49 means the benchmark explains less than half of this ETF's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
