Benchmark Metrics
Weitz Short Duration Bond ETF has an annualized alpha of -0.98%, beta of 0.05, and R2 of 0.25 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since April 01, 2026.
- This ETF captured 1.64% of S&P 500 Index gains and tended to rise during its downturns (downside capture of -13.35%) - a profile typical of hedging or uncorrelated assets.
- Beta of 0.05 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.25 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 0.25 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.
