Benchmark Metrics

gold1 has an annualized alpha of 28.27%, beta of 0.55, and R2 of 0.08 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since December 16, 2021.

  • This portfolio captured 107.71% of S&P 500 Index gains but only 31.12% of its losses - a favorable profile for investors.

  • R2 of 0.08 means this portfolio moves largely independently of S&P 500 Index - capture ratios reflect limited market correlation rather than active downside protection. Consider using a more representative benchmark.

Sharpe Ratio

The Sharpe ratio helps investors understand how much return they're getting for the level of risk taken. A higher Sharpe ratio indicates better risk-adjusted performance, meaning more reward for each unit of risk. Learn how to interpret the Sharpe ratio.

The current gold1 Sharpe ratio is 1.08 as of Jun 20, 2026 (the value is recalculated daily), calculated over the past 12 months.

Compared to the broad market, where average Sharpe ratios range from 1.66 to 2.57, this portfolio's current Sharpe ratio places it in the bottom 25%. This suggests weaker risk-adjusted returns than most portfolios, possibly due to lower returns, higher volatility, or both. It may be worth reviewing the allocation. You can use the Portfolio Optimization tool to explore options for improving the Sharpe ratio.
