Benchmark Metrics

BMO Global Infrastructure Index ETF has an annualized alpha of 4.69%, beta of 0.58, and R² of 0.35 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since January 26, 2010.

  • This ETF participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (59.82%) than losses (37.43%) — typical of diversified or defensive assets.
  • Beta of 0.58 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.35 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 0.35 means the benchmark explains less than half of this ETF's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
