Benchmark Metrics
HB+ has an annualized alpha of 9.21%, beta of 0.28, and R² of 0.27 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since July 19, 2012.
- This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (57.63%) than losses (30.55%) — typical of diversified or defensive assets.
- Beta of 0.28 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.27 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 0.27 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.
