Benchmark Metrics

Defiance Daily Target 2X Short RKLB ETF has an annualized alpha of -93.78%, beta of -7.46, and R2 of 0.24 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since November 18, 2025.

  • This ETF participated in 462.95% of S&P 500 Index downside but only -131.01% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of -7.46 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.24 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 0.24 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.
