Benchmark Metrics
xcns has an annualized alpha of 1.98%, beta of 0.28, and R² of 0.44 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since August 26, 2019.
- This portfolio participated in 51.73% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 41.78% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.28 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.44 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 0.44 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
