Benchmark Metrics

Simplify Interest Rate Hedge ETF has an annualized alpha of 24.90%, beta of -0.18, and R2 of 0.01 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since May 11, 2021.

  • This ETF tended to rise when S&P 500 Index fell (downside capture of -395.18%), but participation in market rallies was also limited (-50.01%) - a profile typical of counter-cyclical assets.
  • Beta of -0.18 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.01 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 0.01 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.
