Benchmark Metrics

BMO Covered Call Europe High Dividend ETF has an annualized alpha of 0.39%, beta of 0.57, and R² of 0.39 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since March 08, 2018.

  • This ETF participated in 62.44% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 52.65% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.57 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.39 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 0.39 means the benchmark explains less than half of this ETF's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
