Benchmark Metrics
Templeton Developing Markets Trust has an annualized alpha of 2.88%, beta of 0.62, and R2 of 0.38 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since January 02, 1992.
- Beta of 0.62 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.38 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 0.38 means the benchmark explains less than half of this fund's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
