Benchmark Metrics
Vanguard International Dividend Growth Fund has an annualized alpha of -0.85%, beta of 0.49, and R² of 0.36 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since November 02, 2023.
- This fund participated in 38.77% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 35.13% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.49 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.36 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 0.36 means the benchmark explains less than half of this fund's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
