Benchmark Metrics

Jap ETF's has an annualized alpha of 5.32%, beta of 0.62, and R² of 0.48 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since March 08, 2019.

  • This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (69.64%) than losses (61.46%) — typical of diversified or defensive assets.
  • Beta of 0.62 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.48 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 0.48 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
