Key Observations
- Low-beta / defensive (β = 0.64): LOW captures only ~64% of SPY's swings — typically steadier than the benchmark.
- Benchmark explains only 17% of LOW's daily variance (R² = 0.17): SPY is a poor fit — beta is statistically weak and driven mostly by idiosyncratic moves.
- Forward-looking adjusted beta ≈ 0.76 (Blume: pulls the raw β one-third of the way toward the market's 1.0).
- α ≈ -11.5%/yr: after stripping out market exposure, LOW underperformed SPY over the window (extrapolated from the daily intercept; not a forecast).
- Annualized volatility: LOW 25.6% vs SPY 16.7% — 1.53× as volatile (more than the benchmark).
