Benchmark Metrics

FTSE World has an annualized alpha of 3.09%, beta of 0.44, and R² of 0.31 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since October 27, 2017.

  • This portfolio participated in 77.06% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 66.12% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.44 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.31 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 0.31 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.

Sharpe Ratio

The Sharpe ratio helps investors understand how much return they're getting for the level of risk taken. A higher Sharpe ratio indicates better risk-adjusted performance, meaning more reward for each unit of risk.

FTSE World Sharpe ratios as of Apr 3, 2026 (values are recalculated daily):

  • 1-Year: 1.04
  • 5-Year: 0.70
  • All Time: 0.56

These values reflect how efficiently the investment has delivered returns relative to its volatility over different time periods. All figures are annualized and based on daily total returns (including price changes and dividends).

Compared to the broad market, where average Sharpe ratios range from 0.98 to 1.66, this portfolio's current Sharpe ratio falls between the 25th and 75th percentiles. This indicates that its risk-adjusted performance is in line with the majority of portfolios, suggesting a balanced approach to risk and return—likely suitable for a wide range of investors.
