Benchmark Metrics

Ray Dalio All Weather Portfolio 2x Leveraged has an annualized alpha of 7.90%, beta of 0.43, and R² of 0.21 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since February 03, 2010.

  • This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (75.77%) than losses (64.33%) — typical of diversified or defensive assets.
  • Beta of 0.43 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.21 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 0.21 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.

AI Insight on Diversification


The portfolio is moderately diversified with a mix of positions exhibiting varying degrees of correlation. Notably, UST and UBT have a very high positive correlation of 0.89, indicating these two bond-related positions move closely together, which could reduce diversification benefits within the fixed income segment. Conversely, UGL (a leveraged gold ETF) shows very low correlation with SSO (leveraged S&P 500 ETF) at 0.04 and only modest correlations with DIG (energy sector ETF) and the bond positions, suggesting it provides a diversification benefit by behaving differently from equities and bonds.

SSO and DIG have a moderate positive correlation of 0.58, reflecting some overlap in equity market exposure, particularly in sectors sensitive to economic cycles, which slightly limits diversification on the equity side. The portfolio’s correlations with individual positions range from 0.32 (DIG) to 0.62 (UBT), indicating that no single position overwhelmingly dominates the portfolio’s overall behavior, although UBT has the highest influence.

Overall, the portfolio balances exposure across asset classes with some concentration in bond positions (UST and UBT) that are highly correlated. The presence of lowly correlated assets like UGL helps mitigate concentration risk, but the moderate correlations among equity positions suggest room for improvement in diversification within the equity sleeve. The portfolio is neither highly concentrated nor perfectly diversified but sits in a middle ground with a reasonable blend of correlated and uncorrelated assets.
