Benchmark Metrics

1 year Sharpe has an annualized alpha of 5.20%, beta of 0.28, and R² of 0.12 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since September 10, 2010.

  • This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (42.91%) than losses (35.84%) — typical of diversified or defensive assets.
  • Beta of 0.28 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.12 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 0.12 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: 1.69
  • 5-Year: 0.85
  • 10-Year: 0.76
  • All Time: 0.56

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 0.98 to 1.66, 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.
