Benchmark Metrics

Alpha optimized has an annualized alpha of 33.02%, beta of 0.59, and R² of 0.31 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since November 22, 2021.

  • This portfolio captured 146.24% of S&P 500 Index gains but only 25.54% of its losses — a favorable profile for investors.
  • Beta of 0.59 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.31 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 0.31 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
