Benchmark For Correlation Values
- Benchmark For Correlation Values
- A benchmark or point of reference chosen by an investment fund to measure correlation values such as beta, the coefficient of correlation "r" and the coefficient of determination "r2." These correlation values indicate the degree to which the fund's performance is related to its market (using the benchmark as a proxy for the market). A high correlation to its benchmark is generally considered to be favorable for the fund if their investment thesis closely follows the benchmark.
The relevant benchmark for correlation values depends on the fund's investing mandate. For example, a large-cap US equity fund would usually use the S&P 500 as its benchmark for correlation values, while a large-cap Canadian equity fund would use the S&P/TSX Composite index as its benchmark.
