Benchmark Metrics
Borrow money has an annualized alpha of 3.34%, beta of 0.19, and R² of 0.13 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since May 31, 2007.
- This portfolio captured 2.74% of S&P 500 Index gains and tended to rise during its downturns (downside capture of -28.74%) — a profile typical of hedging or uncorrelated assets.
- Beta of 0.19 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.
