Benchmark Metrics
Schwab International Dividend Equity ETF has an annualized alpha of 2.63%, beta of 0.52, and R2 of 0.44 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since April 29, 2021.
- This ETF participated in 61.33% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 57.74% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.52 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.44 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 0.44 means the benchmark explains less than half of this ETF's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
