Benchmark Metrics

iShares Exponential Technologies Index ETF has an annualized alpha of 5.79%, beta of 0.53, and R² of 0.18 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since May 05, 2022.

  • This ETF participated in 106.30% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 97.96% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.53 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.
