Benchmark Metrics
United States Commodity Index Fund has an annualized alpha of 1.40%, beta of 0.30, and R² of 0.12 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since August 11, 2010.
- This ETF participated in 52.80% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 38.04% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.30 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.12 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 0.12 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.
