Benchmark Metrics
SEI Multi-Asset Real Return Fund Class A has an annualized alpha of 0.71%, beta of 0.11, and R2 of 0.13 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since January 03, 2012.
- This fund participated in 20.62% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 14.49% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.11 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.13 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 0.13 means this fund 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.
