Benchmark Metrics
American Beacon SiM High Yld Opps Fund has an annualized alpha of 4.72%, beta of 0.14, and R2 of 0.24 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since January 03, 2012.
- This fund participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (36.66%) than losses (36.07%) - typical of diversified or defensive assets.
- Beta of 0.14 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.24 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 0.24 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.
