Benchmark Metrics

VanEck Inflation Allocation ETF has an annualized alpha of 4.00%, beta of 0.50, and R² of 0.37 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since April 11, 2018.

  • This ETF participated in 60.78% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 59.77% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.50 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.37 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 0.37 means the benchmark explains less than half of this ETF's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
