Benchmark Metrics

vwrl has an annualized alpha of 4.41%, beta of 0.58, and R2 of 0.42 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since May 22, 2012.

  • This portfolio participated in 93.69% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 90.84% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.58 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.42 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 0.42 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
