Benchmark Metrics

15% IAU 25% SCHD 60% VGIT has an annualized alpha of 3.08%, beta of 0.18, and R2 of 0.32 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since October 20, 2011.

  • This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (26.28%) than losses (21.38%) - typical of diversified or defensive assets.
  • Beta of 0.18 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.32 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 0.32 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
