Benchmark Metrics

Gotham Short Strategies ETF has an annualized alpha of 4.51%, beta of -0.46, and R² of 0.32 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since November 07, 2023.

  • This ETF tended to rise when S&P 500 Index fell (downside capture of -33.99%), but participation in market rallies was also limited (-21.85%) — a profile typical of counter-cyclical assets.
  • Beta of -0.46 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.32 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 0.32 means the benchmark explains less than half of this ETF's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
