Benchmark Metrics

Berkshire has an annualized alpha of 12.79%, beta of 0.30, and R2 of 0.10 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since July 07, 2015.

  • This portfolio captured 46.72% of S&P 500 Index gains and tended to rise during its downturns (downside capture of -33.47%) - a profile typical of hedging or uncorrelated assets.
  • Beta of 0.30 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.10 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 0.10 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.

Berkshire Sharpe ratios as of Jun 6, 2026 (values are recalculated daily):

  • 1-Year: 1.81
  • 5-Year: 0.78
  • 10-Year: 0.74
  • All Time: 0.68

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 1.65 to 2.53, this portfolio's current Sharpe ratio falls between the 25th and 75th percentiles. This indicates that its risk-adjusted performance is in line with the majority of portfolios, suggesting a balanced approach to risk and return—likely suitable for a wide range of investors.
