Benchmark Metrics

vanguard global has an annualized alpha of 5.69%, beta of 0.45, and R2 of 0.38 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since September 24, 2019.

  • This portfolio participated in 80.49% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 78.61% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.45 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.38 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 0.38 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
