Benchmark Metrics
Ray Dalio All Weather Portfolio 2x Leveraged has an annualized alpha of 7.48%, beta of 0.44, and R2 of 0.22 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since February 02, 2010.
- This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (74.98%) than losses (66.03%) - typical of diversified or defensive assets.
- Beta of 0.44 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.

Diversification
AI Analysis
The gist
The portfolio is a leveraged cross-asset allocation: bonds, equities, and commodities, with UBT and UST supplying a large shared duration bet. The diversification is real, though leverage makes the plumbing part of the thesis.
The numbers
- Diversification ratio is 1.70 over one year and 1.87 since inception, ranking in the 79.5th–96.8th percentiles.
- Effective asset count is 3.52 of 5: reasonably spread, but not five independent engines.
- Mean correlation is only 0.10, while the range runs from -0.30 to 0.89.
The good
- ProShares Ultra 20+ Year Treasury (UBT) and ProShares Ultra 7–10 Year Treasury (UST) sit in a portfolio whose sleeves often offset one another.
- ProShares Ultra S&P 500 (SSO) and ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Commodity (UGL) provide distinct equity and commodity behavior.
The bad
- UBT and UST correlate at 0.89 and together represent 55% of the portfolio, making the bond diversification somewhat ceremonial.
- Direxion Daily S&P 500 Bull 3X Shares (DIG) and SSO form a smaller but clear equity cluster.
The ugly
- A sharp rate move can hit both leveraged bond sleeves simultaneously; daily-reset leverage then makes sideways volatility an additional source of damage.
Next steps
- Portfolios with this structure are typically assessed by leverage-adjusted volatility and path dependence, not correlation alone.
