Benchmark Metrics

ProFunds Ultra Short Japan Fund has an annualized alpha of 57.15%, beta of -2.01, and R² of 0.03 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since March 29, 2006.

  • This fund tended to rise when S&P 500 Index fell (downside capture of -248.62%), but participation in market rallies was also limited (-119.88%) — a profile typical of counter-cyclical assets.
  • Beta of -2.01 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.03 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 0.03 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.
