Benchmark Metrics

Ray Dalio All Weather Portfolio has an annualized alpha of 4.90%, beta of 0.20, and R2 of 0.23 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since February 07, 2006.

  • This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (36.66%) than losses (27.47%) - typical of diversified or defensive assets.
  • Beta of 0.20 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.23 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 0.23 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.
