Benchmark Metrics
BDC Equity 01 has an annualized alpha of -5.28%, beta of 0.67, and R² of 0.38 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since January 25, 2024.
- This portfolio participated in 70.95% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 39.57% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.67 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.38 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 0.38 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
