Benchmark Metrics
WisdomTree US Equity Income UCITS ETF has an annualized alpha of 0.99%, beta of 0.43, and R2 of 0.17 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since October 21, 2014.
- This ETF participated in 85.02% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 58.49% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.43 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.17 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 0.17 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.
