Benchmark Metrics

work 401k options has an annualized alpha of 3.34%, beta of 0.29, and R² of 0.16 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since June 02, 2010.

  • This portfolio participated in 51.56% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 45.33% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.29 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.16 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 0.16 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.
