Benchmark Metrics

HL has an annualized alpha of -1.50%, beta of 0.51, and R² of 0.22 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since May 26, 2021.

  • This portfolio participated in 79.46% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 52.68% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.51 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.22 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 0.22 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.

Sharpe Ratio

The Sharpe ratio helps investors understand how much return they're getting for the level of risk taken. A higher Sharpe ratio indicates better risk-adjusted performance, meaning more reward for each unit of risk.

HL Sharpe ratios as of Apr 2, 2026 (values are recalculated daily):

  • 1-Year: 2.53
  • All Time: 0.22

These values reflect how efficiently the investment has delivered returns relative to its volatility over different time periods. All figures are annualized and based on daily total returns (including price changes and dividends).

Compared to the broad market, where average Sharpe ratios range from 1.01 to 1.69, this portfolio's current Sharpe ratio is in the top 25%. This signifies superior risk-adjusted performance, meaning the portfolio is delivering strong returns for the level of risk taken compared to most others.
