Benchmark Metrics

GLD_SLV_CPER has an annualized alpha of 4.83%, beta of 0.25, and R2 of 0.03 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since November 15, 2011.

  • This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (29.48%) than losses (26.98%) - typical of diversified or defensive assets.
  • Beta of 0.25 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.03 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 0.03 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.

Sharpe Ratio

The Sharpe ratio helps investors understand how much return they're getting for the level of risk taken. A higher Sharpe ratio indicates better risk-adjusted performance, meaning more reward for each unit of risk. Learn how to interpret the Sharpe ratio.
