Benchmark Metrics
California Wellesley has an annualized alpha of 2.55%, beta of 0.30, and R² of 0.41 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since January 31, 2024.
- This portfolio participated in 47.54% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 40.20% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.30 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.41 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 0.41 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
