Benchmark Metrics
DIY 1 has an annualized alpha of 7.32%, beta of 0.37, and R2 of 0.20 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since September 24, 2019.
- This portfolio participated in 74.40% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 71.48% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.37 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.20 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 0.20 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.
