Benchmark Metrics

Portafolio 8 has an annualized alpha of 5.53%, beta of 0.39, and R² of 0.43 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since September 14, 2021.

  • This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (64.00%) than losses (61.21%) — typical of diversified or defensive assets.
  • Beta of 0.39 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.43 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 0.43 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
