Benchmark Metrics

Aristotle Floating Rate Income Fund Class A has an annualized alpha of 3.85%, beta of 0.06, and R2 of 0.11 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since December 29, 2011.

  • This fund participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (18.49%) than losses (8.89%) - typical of diversified or defensive assets.
  • Beta of 0.06 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.
