Benchmark Metrics
GYRO 15% IJS AND AVUV 50% VGIT 5% BIL 5% TLT has an annualized alpha of 3.04%, beta of 0.26, and R2 of 0.49 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since September 26, 2019.
- This portfolio participated in 39.48% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 35.36% 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.
