Benchmark Metrics

Boring ETF strategy USD has an annualized alpha of 10.50%, beta of 0.58, and R² of 0.23 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since February 13, 2023.

  • This portfolio participated in 126.24% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 122.09% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.58 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.23 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 0.23 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.
