Benchmark Metrics
Bull&Bear has an annualized alpha of 1.75%, beta of 0.11, and R² of 0.03 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since August 10, 2022.
- This portfolio captured 4.32% of S&P 500 Index gains and tended to rise during its downturns (downside capture of -11.37%) — a profile typical of hedging or uncorrelated assets.
- Beta of 0.11 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.03 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 0.03 means this portfolio moves largely independently of S&P 500 Index — capture ratios reflect limited market correlation rather than active downside protection. Consider using a more representative benchmark.
