Benchmark Metrics
100% XGRO has an annualized alpha of 1.10%, beta of 0.58, and R² of 0.48 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since June 22, 2007.
- This portfolio participated in 74.31% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 65.11% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.58 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.48 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 0.48 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
