Benchmark Metrics
India and Asia has an annualized alpha of -1.03%, beta of 0.54, and R² of 0.42 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since February 18, 2022.
- This portfolio participated in 64.58% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 47.52% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.54 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.42 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 0.42 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
