Benchmark Metrics
T. Rowe Price Credit Opportunities Fund has an annualized alpha of 3.06%, beta of 0.13, and R2 of 0.18 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since May 01, 2014.
- This fund participated in 35.61% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 30.40% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.13 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.18 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 0.18 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.
