Benchmark Metrics
PIMCO 25+ Year Zero Coupon US Treasury Index Fund has an annualized alpha of 10.54%, beta of -0.39, and R2 of 0.08 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since November 04, 2009.
- This ETF tended to rise when S&P 500 Index fell (downside capture of -29.06%), but participation in market rallies was also limited (-3.41%) - a profile typical of counter-cyclical assets.
- Beta of -0.39 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.08 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 0.08 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.
