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.

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. Learn how to interpret the Sharpe ratio.

The current Ray Dalio All Weather Portfolio 2x Leveraged Sharpe ratio is 1.32 as of Aug 4, 2026 (the value is recalculated daily), calculated over the past 12 months.

Compared to the broad market, where average Sharpe ratios range from 1.35 to 2.18, this portfolio's current Sharpe ratio places it in the bottom 25%.

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.
