Benchmark Metrics
Higher Growth +4.37% -1.20% has an annualized alpha of 5.26%, beta of 0.32, and R² of 0.33 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since July 29, 2019.
- This portfolio participated in 67.90% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 63.58% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.32 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.33 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 0.33 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
