Benchmark Metrics
Utility ETF has an annualized alpha of 9.60%, beta of 0.49, and R² of 0.22 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since November 06, 2015.
- This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (56.43%) than losses (10.51%) — typical of diversified or defensive assets.
- Beta of 0.49 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.22 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 0.22 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.
