Benchmark Metrics

NEW DESERT BUTTERFLY 3 has an annualized alpha of 3.88%, beta of 0.28, and R2 of 0.36 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since September 30, 2021.

  • This portfolio participated in 40.66% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 40.19% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.28 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.36 this portfolio 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 portfolio's risk.
  • R2 of 0.36 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
