Benchmark Metrics
Low Volatility SBGB has an annualized alpha of 16.15%, beta of 0.40, and R² of 0.20 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since September 07, 2018.
- This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (71.78%) than losses (26.41%) — typical of diversified or defensive assets.
- Beta of 0.40 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.20 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 0.20 means this portfolio moves largely independently of S&P 500 Index — capture ratios reflect limited market correlation rather than active downside protection. Consider using a more representative benchmark.
