Benchmark Metrics
Bryan Taylor has an annualized alpha of 14.10%, beta of 0.65, and R² of 0.34 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since September 20, 2018.
- This portfolio captured 132.11% of S&P 500 Index gains but only 95.20% of its losses — a favorable profile for investors.
- Beta of 0.65 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.34 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 0.34 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
