Benchmark Metrics
All Weather w/Utilities has an annualized alpha of 2.43%, beta of 0.29, and R2 of 0.39 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since June 27, 2018.
- This portfolio participated in 49.38% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 40.03% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.29 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.39 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 0.39 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
