Benchmark Metrics
ProShares Ultra 20+ Year Treasury has an annualized alpha of 12.57%, beta of -0.51, and R2 of 0.09 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since January 21, 2010.
- This ETF tended to rise when S&P 500 Index fell (downside capture of -20.95%), but participation in market rallies was also limited (-4.91%) - a profile typical of counter-cyclical assets.
- Beta of -0.51 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.09 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 0.09 means this ETF 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.
