Benchmark Metrics
Financials has an annualized alpha of 7.10%, beta of 0.31, and R2 of 0.23 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since February 28, 2019.
- This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (58.42%) than losses (49.65%) - typical of diversified or defensive assets.
- Beta of 0.31 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.23 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 0.23 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.
