Benchmark Metrics
Gold Stock USD 1x has an annualized alpha of 5.28%, beta of 0.28, and R2 of 0.33 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since September 09, 2010.
- This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (32.29%) than losses (7.44%) - typical of diversified or defensive assets.
- Beta of 0.28 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.33 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 0.33 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
