Benchmark Metrics
Nuveen Core Plus Impact Fund has an annualized alpha of -5.99%, beta of 0.35, and R² of 0.21 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since April 29, 2021.
- This fund participated in 103.47% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 51.16% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.35 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.21 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 0.21 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.
