Benchmark Metrics

Seafarer Overseas Value Fund has an annualized alpha of 4.01%, beta of 0.43, and R² of 0.40 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since January 04, 2017.

  • This fund participated in 67.91% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 63.67% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.43 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.40 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 0.40 means the benchmark explains less than half of this fund's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
