Benchmark Metrics
ProFunds Short Small Cap ProFund has an annualized alpha of 24.90%, beta of -1.22, and R2 of 0.06 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since January 02, 2003.
- This fund tended to rise when S&P 500 Index fell (downside capture of -200.10%), but participation in market rallies was also limited (-68.96%) - a profile typical of counter-cyclical assets.
- Beta of -1.22 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.06 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 0.06 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.
