Benchmark Metrics
China has an annualized alpha of -0.63%, beta of 0.66, and R² of 0.25 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since June 16, 2016.
- This portfolio participated in 64.80% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 48.10% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.66 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.25 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 0.25 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.
