Benchmark Metrics
Alt has an annualized alpha of 3.31%, beta of 0.37, and R2 of 0.44 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since March 08, 2022.
- This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (40.22%) than losses (38.57%) - typical of diversified or defensive assets.
- Beta of 0.37 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.44 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 0.44 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
