Benchmark Metrics
Westwood Salient Enhanced Energy Income ETF has an annualized alpha of 4.33%, beta of 0.49, and R2 of 0.18 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since May 01, 2024.
- This ETF captured 39.91% of S&P 500 Index gains and tended to rise during its downturns (downside capture of -0.39%) - a profile typical of hedging or uncorrelated assets.
- Beta of 0.49 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.18 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 0.18 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.
