Benchmark Metrics

all weather portfolio has an annualized alpha of 4.76%, beta of 0.21, and R² of 0.26 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since January 12, 2007.

  • This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (37.20%) than losses (28.50%) — typical of diversified or defensive assets.
  • Beta of 0.21 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.26 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 0.26 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.
