Benchmark Metrics

Transamerica International Equity has an annualized alpha of 1.47%, beta of 0.67, and R² of 0.50 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since December 21, 1992.

  • This fund participated in 96.74% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 89.05% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.67 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.50 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 0.50 means the benchmark explains less than half of this fund's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
