How this is computed

N-PORT months: money in is sales plus reinvestments; money out is redemptions. Months summed from daily data: money in adds the days money came in; money out adds the days it went out.

N-PORT months are the filed sales plus reinvestments less redemptions. Later months add up the daily data; the Source column names any missing day.

Correlation
How closely the fund’s weekly returns moved with the S&P 500’s over the last year, from −1 to 1. At 1 the two rise and fall together, at 0 there is no pattern, and below 0 the fund tended to move the other way.
Beta
How far the fund moved, on average, for each 1% move in the S&P 500 over the same weeks. At 0.3 it moved about 0.3% the same way; below 0 it moved the other way.
Down week
A week in which the S&P 500 fell, measured through SPY with dividends reinvested. A week that ended exactly level is not a down week.
Down-week capture
The fund’s average return in the S&P 500’s down weeks as a share of the index’s own average in those weeks. At 100% it fell as much, at 50% half as much, and below zero it rose. It is weekly and covers one year, so it is not the same number as Morningstar’s downside capture.
Against T-bills
The fund’s total return minus a short Treasury bill fund’s (BIL) over the same year, in percentage points. A fund can steady a portfolio and still earn less than cash.
