Benchmark Metrics

Very Sharpe has an annualized alpha of 6.94%, beta of 0.17, and R2 of 0.41 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since January 03, 2014.

  • This portfolio captured 26.48% of S&P 500 Index gains and tended to rise during its downturns (downside capture of -7.24%) - a profile typical of hedging or uncorrelated assets.
  • Beta of 0.17 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.41 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 0.41 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
