Benchmark Metrics
GYRO 15% IJS AND AVUV 50% VGIT 5% BIL 5% TLT has an annualized alpha of 3.39%, beta of 0.26, and R² of 0.49 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since September 27, 2019.
- This portfolio participated in 40.38% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 37.66% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.26 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.49 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 0.49 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
