Benchmark Metrics
Aberdeen Standard Physical Palladium Shares ETF has an annualized alpha of 4.18%, beta of 0.63, and R2 of 0.10 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since January 15, 2010.
- This ETF participated in 85.34% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 65.69% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.63 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.10 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 0.10 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.
