Benchmark Metrics
Vanguard International Dividend Growth Fund has an annualized alpha of -2.15%, beta of 0.52, and R2 of 0.37 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since November 02, 2023.
- This fund participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (33.13%) than losses (33.00%) - typical of diversified or defensive assets.
- Beta of 0.52 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.37 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 0.37 means the benchmark explains less than half of this fund's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
