Benchmark Metrics

Bond heavy has an annualized alpha of 2.96%, beta of 0.17, and R² of 0.44 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since June 05, 2013.

  • This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (26.14%) than losses (21.91%) — typical of diversified or defensive assets.
  • Beta of 0.17 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.
