Benchmark Metrics

JS - SPDR ACWI has an annualized alpha of 2.93%, beta of 0.57, and R2 of 0.42 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since June 12, 2017.

  • This portfolio participated in 91.54% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 82.15% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.57 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.42 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 0.42 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
