Benchmark Metrics
ger has an annualized alpha of 14.89%, beta of 0.56, and R2 of 0.10 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since March 23, 2000.
- This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (96.49%) than losses (69.10%) - typical of diversified or defensive assets.
- Beta of 0.56 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.10 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 0.10 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.
