Benchmark Metrics

ES- Bond has an annualized alpha of 6.27%, beta of 0.39, and R² of 0.29 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since September 16, 2010.

  • This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (77.87%) than losses (76.80%) — typical of diversified or defensive assets.
  • Beta of 0.39 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.29 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 0.29 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.
