Benchmark Metrics
ProShares Short Ether Strategy ETF has an annualized alpha of 159.65%, beta of -3.06, and R2 of 0.29 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since November 03, 2023.
- This ETF tended to rise when S&P 500 Index fell (downside capture of -784.11%), but participation in market rallies was also limited (-67.07%) - a profile typical of counter-cyclical assets.
- Beta of -3.06 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.29 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 0.29 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.
