Benchmark Metrics
Bond has an annualized alpha of 0.82%, beta of 0.17, and R² of 0.46 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since May 29, 2020.
- This portfolio participated in 33.74% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 22.56% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.17 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.46 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 0.46 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
