Benchmark Metrics
ProShares Short Ether Strategy ETF has an annualized alpha of 19.96%, beta of -2.05, and R² of 0.20 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 -794.86%), but participation in market rallies was also limited (-147.46%) — a profile typical of counter-cyclical assets.
- Beta of -2.05 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.20 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 0.20 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.
