Benchmark Metrics
CHAO has an annualized alpha of 5.22%, beta of 0.23, and R² of 0.20 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since March 20, 2008.
- This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (39.56%) than losses (31.00%) — typical of diversified or defensive assets.
- Beta of 0.23 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.20 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 0.20 means this portfolio moves largely independently of S&P 500 Index — capture ratios reflect limited market correlation rather than active downside protection. Consider using a more representative benchmark.
