• This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (65.07%) than losses (56.15%) — typical of diversified or defensive assets.
• Beta of 0.60 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.45 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 0.45 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
