Benchmark Metrics

IBKR Sharpe has an annualized alpha of 10.56%, beta of 0.25, and R² of 0.10 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since November 19, 2004.

  • This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (45.15%) than losses (5.01%) — typical of diversified or defensive assets.
  • Beta of 0.25 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.10 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 0.10 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.
