Benchmark Metrics

HB has an annualized alpha of 4.14%, beta of 0.23, and R2 of 0.40 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since January 11, 2007.

  • This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (33.27%) than losses (24.39%) - typical of diversified or defensive assets.
  • Beta of 0.23 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.40 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 0.40 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
