Benchmark Metrics

Axis Gold has an annualized alpha of 17.46%, beta of 0.56, and R² of 0.23 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since July 22, 2012.

  • This portfolio captured 121.00% of S&P 500 Index gains but only 64.43% of its losses — a favorable profile for investors.
  • Beta of 0.56 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.

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.

  • 1-Year: 1.60
  • 5-Year: 0.68
  • 10-Year: 1.32
  • All Time: 1.29
