Benchmark Metrics
Gold Stock USD 2x has an annualized alpha of 8.38%, beta of 0.58, and R2 of 0.43 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since December 03, 2008.
- This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (68.98%) than losses (39.54%) - typical of diversified or defensive assets.
- Beta of 0.58 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.43 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 0.43 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
