Benchmark Metrics

Gold Axis Div has an annualized alpha of 16.37%, beta of 0.56, and R² of 0.29 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since March 03, 2016.

  • This portfolio captured 106.86% of S&P 500 Index gains but only 55.56% of its losses — a favorable profile for investors.
  • Beta of 0.56 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.29 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 0.29 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.
