Benchmark Metrics

Max. Growth has an annualized alpha of 22.27%, beta of 0.49, and R² of 0.14 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since September 25, 2019.

  • This portfolio captured 115.17% of S&P 500 Index gains but only 62.96% of its losses — a favorable profile for investors.
  • Beta of 0.49 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.14 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 0.14 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.
