Benchmark Metrics
BOND ETF has an annualized alpha of 1.74%, beta of 0.02, and R² of 0.02 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since May 26, 2021.
- This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (9.96%) than losses (9.51%) — typical of diversified or defensive assets.
- Beta of 0.02 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.
