Benchmark Metrics

Defiance Daily Target 2X Short TSM ETF has an annualized alpha of -53.27%, beta of -4.39, and R2 of 0.49 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since November 18, 2025.

  • This ETF participated in 430.98% of S&P 500 Index downside but only -133.27% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of -4.39 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.49 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 0.49 means the benchmark explains less than half of this ETF's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
