Benchmark Metrics

- This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (39.28%) than losses (32.49%) - typical of diversified or defensive assets.
- Beta of 0.25 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.42 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 0.42 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
