Benchmark Metrics
Direxion Daily NFLX Bear 1X Shares has an annualized alpha of 8.98%, beta of -0.74, and R2 of 0.13 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since October 03, 2024.
- This ETF participated in 94.64% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 2.12% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of -0.74 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.13 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 0.13 means this ETF 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.
