Benchmark Metrics

Neuberger Berman Floating Rate Income Fund has an annualized alpha of 3.43%, beta of 0.07, and R² of 0.11 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since December 31, 2009.

  • This fund participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (19.68%) than losses (14.10%) — typical of diversified or defensive assets.
  • Beta of 0.07 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.11 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 0.11 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.
