Benchmark Metrics
Invesco Preferred Shares UCITS ETF has an annualized alpha of -1.90%, beta of 0.30, and R2 of 0.18 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since September 28, 2017.
- This ETF participated in 54.58% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 28.57% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.30 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.18 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 0.18 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.
