Benchmark Metrics
KISS 50/30/10/10 has an annualized alpha of 10.07%, beta of 0.59, and R2 of 0.50 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since May 04, 2015.
- This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (88.51%) than losses (58.05%) - typical of diversified or defensive assets.
- Beta of 0.59 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.50 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 0.50 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
