Benchmark Metrics
Boring has an annualized alpha of 5.54%, beta of 0.06, and R² of 0.34 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since December 12, 2022.
- This portfolio captured 17.08% of S&P 500 Index gains and tended to rise during its downturns (downside capture of -11.51%) — a profile typical of hedging or uncorrelated assets.
- Beta of 0.06 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.34 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 0.34 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
