Benchmark Metrics

US Dalio has an annualized alpha of 19.54%, beta of 0.49, and R² of 0.28 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since January 12, 2024.

  • This portfolio captured 89.98% of S&P 500 Index gains and tended to rise during its downturns (downside capture of -18.96%) — a profile typical of hedging or uncorrelated assets.
  • Beta of 0.49 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.28 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 0.28 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.
