Benchmark Metrics

RiverFront Strategic Income Fund has an annualized alpha of 1.24%, beta of 0.18, and R² of 0.19 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since October 10, 2013.

  • This ETF participated in 22.79% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 20.35% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.18 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.19 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 0.19 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.
