Benchmark Metrics
GOVBONDOPT has an annualized alpha of 5.28%, beta of 0.07, and R2 of 0.13 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since August 03, 2023.
- This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (21.76%) than losses (9.88%) - typical of diversified or defensive assets.
- Beta of 0.07 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.13 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 0.13 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.
