Benchmark Metrics

Carver asset class has an annualized alpha of 4.25%, beta of 0.35, and R² of 0.35 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since June 05, 2013.

  • This portfolio participated in 64.33% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 60.52% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.35 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.35 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 0.35 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
