Benchmark Metrics
Neuberger High Income Bond Fund Institutional Class has an annualized alpha of 4.08%, beta of 0.16, and R2 of 0.24 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since May 28, 2009.
- This fund participated in 37.45% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 35.44% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.16 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.24 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 0.24 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.
