Benchmark Metrics

ACWI.BND.GLD has an annualized alpha of 5.70%, beta of 0.40, and R² of 0.33 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since June 21, 2019.

  • This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (79.12%) than losses (78.41%) — typical of diversified or defensive assets.
  • Beta of 0.40 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.33 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 0.33 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
