Benchmark Metrics
First-QLENX has an annualized alpha of 23.74%, beta of 0.44, and R² of 0.45 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since September 14, 2023.
- This portfolio captured 82.50% of S&P 500 Index gains and tended to rise during its downturns (downside capture of -61.54%) — a profile typical of hedging or uncorrelated assets.
- Beta of 0.44 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.
