Benchmark Metrics
Alpha optimized has an annualized alpha of 30.41%, beta of 0.59, and R2 of 0.30 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since November 19, 2021.
- This portfolio captured 130.45% of S&P 500 Index gains but only 25.13% of its losses - a favorable profile for investors.
- Beta of 0.59 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.30 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 0.30 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.
