Benchmark Metrics
AQR Trend Total Return Fund has an annualized alpha of 17.41%, beta of 0.41, and R2 of 0.34 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since March 18, 2022.
- This fund participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (72.57%) than losses (13.39%) - typical of diversified or defensive assets.
- Beta of 0.41 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.34 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 0.34 means the benchmark explains less than half of this fund's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
