Benchmark Metrics
PIMCO RAE Worldwide Long/Short PLUS Fund has an annualized alpha of 3.10%, beta of 0.19, and R² of 0.14 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since December 09, 2014.
- This fund participated in 43.46% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 37.41% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.19 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.14 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 0.14 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.
