Benchmark Metrics

Direxion Daily China 3x Bear Shares has an annualized alpha of 19.79%, beta of -2.68, and R2 of 0.34 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since December 03, 2009.

  • This ETF tended to rise when S&P 500 Index fell (downside capture of -221.26%), but participation in market rallies was also limited (-133.64%) - a profile typical of counter-cyclical assets.
  • Beta of -2.68 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.34 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 0.34 means the benchmark explains less than half of this ETF's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
