Benchmark Metrics
ISF VUSA has an annualized alpha of 6.16%, beta of 0.57, and R2 of 0.39 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since May 22, 2012.
- This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (95.82%) than losses (91.53%) - typical of diversified or defensive assets.
- Beta of 0.57 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.39 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 0.39 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
