Benchmark Metrics

Bond has an annualized alpha of 2.31%, beta of 0.01, and R2 of 0.00 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since February 16, 2018.

  • This portfolio participated in 11.11% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 10.91% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.

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 Bond Sharpe ratio is 0.95 as of Jul 18, 2026 (the value is recalculated daily), calculated over the past 12 months.

Compared to the broad market, where average Sharpe ratios range from 1.21 to 2.00, this portfolio's current Sharpe ratio places it in the bottom 25%. This suggests weaker risk-adjusted returns than most portfolios, possibly due to lower returns, higher volatility, or both. It may be worth reviewing the allocation. You can use the Portfolio Optimization tool to explore options for improving the Sharpe ratio.
