Benchmark Metrics

Max has an annualized alpha of 18.86%, beta of 0.45, and R² of 0.13 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since July 29, 2019.

  • This portfolio captured 101.58% of S&P 500 Index gains but only 59.70% of its losses — a favorable profile for investors.
  • Beta of 0.45 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.13 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 0.13 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.

  • 1-Year: 2.64
  • 5-Year: 0.72
