Benchmark Metrics
Putnam Master Intermediate Income Trust has an annualized alpha of 1.70%, beta of 0.24, and R² of 0.07 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since April 20, 1988.
- This fund participated in 32.47% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 25.62% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.24 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.07 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 0.07 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.
