Benchmark Metrics
Defense GP 13.8 has an annualized alpha of 7.90%, beta of -0.11, and R² of 0.04 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since December 03, 2020.
- This portfolio tended to rise when S&P 500 Index fell (downside capture of -55.27%), but participation in market rallies was also limited (-2.21%) — a profile typical of counter-cyclical assets.
- Beta of -0.11 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.04 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 0.04 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.
