Benchmark Metrics

SIPP_Ulcer has an annualized alpha of 11.97%, beta of 0.26, and R² of 0.14 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since September 27, 2019.

  • This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (59.65%) than losses (19.42%) — typical of diversified or defensive assets.
  • Beta of 0.26 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.14 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 0.14 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.
