Benchmark Metrics
Vanguard FTSE All-World High Dividend Yield UCITS ETF USD Distributing has an annualized alpha of 3.67%, beta of 0.44, and R2 of 0.33 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since May 22, 2013.
- This ETF participated in 62.09% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 60.68% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.44 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.33 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 0.33 means the benchmark explains less than half of this ETF's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
