Benchmark Metrics
Vuaa has an annualized alpha of 7.21%, beta of 0.51, and R2 of 0.32 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since February 04, 2020.
- This portfolio participated in 90.28% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 89.85% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.51 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.
