Benchmark Metrics

Lack of Strategy Portfolio has an annualized alpha of 3.87%, beta of 0.26, and R² of 0.33 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since June 23, 2023.

  • This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (41.70%) than losses (41.67%) — typical of diversified or defensive assets.
  • Beta of 0.26 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.33 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 0.33 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
