Benchmark Metrics

Ryan Risk Parity has an annualized alpha of 1.91%, beta of 0.26, and R² of 0.37 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since October 25, 2012.

  • This portfolio participated in 43.29% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 36.33% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.26 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.37 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 0.37 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
