Benchmark Metrics
Starter ETF has an annualized alpha of 18.61%, beta of 0.29, and R² of 0.17 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since March 25, 2025.
- This portfolio captured 104.94% of S&P 500 Index gains but only 35.11% of its losses — a favorable profile for investors.
- Beta of 0.29 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.17 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 0.17 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.
