Benchmark Metrics
Diversified Dividend 5 year Balanced Safe vs High Yield has an annualized alpha of 0.82%, beta of 0.54, and R2 of 0.45 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since March 06, 2014.
- This portfolio participated in 80.19% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 64.88% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.54 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.45 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 0.45 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
