Benchmark Metrics

1/4 bond sp500 btc gold has an annualized alpha of 15.82%, beta of 0.50, and R² of 0.30 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since July 19, 2012.

  • This portfolio captured 103.11% of S&P 500 Index gains but only 48.21% of its losses — a favorable profile for investors.

  • R² of 0.30 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
