Benchmark Metrics

Defense GP 13.8 has an annualized alpha of 7.96%, beta of -0.11, and R2 of 0.05 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 -54.01%), but participation in market rallies was also limited (-2.17%) - a profile typical of counter-cyclical assets.
  • Beta of -0.11 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.05 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 0.05 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.
