Benchmark Metrics
High Income Securities Fund has an annualized alpha of 3.80%, beta of 0.40, and R² of 0.11 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since July 10, 1987.
- This fund participated in 62.36% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 54.65% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.40 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.
