• This portfolio participated in 87.06% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 77.80% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
• Beta of 0.53 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.39 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 0.39 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.

• 1-Year: 1.35
• 5-Year: 0.46
