Benchmark Metrics

Active Management has an annualized alpha of 6.67%, beta of 0.27, and R2 of 0.32 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since June 01, 2015.

  • This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (48.18%) than losses (31.52%) - typical of diversified or defensive assets.
  • Beta of 0.27 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.32 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 0.32 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
