Benchmark Metrics
IBI Portfolio Playground has an annualized alpha of 4.61%, beta of 0.04, and R² of 0.02 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since April 28, 2017.
- This portfolio participated in 29.21% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 27.57% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.04 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.02 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 0.02 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.
