Benchmark Metrics
DGRO/SCHD has an annualized alpha of 13.47%, beta of 0.46, and R2 of 0.34 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since June 13, 2014.
- This portfolio captured 66.62% of S&P 500 Index gains and tended to rise during its downturns (downside capture of -14.29%) - a profile typical of hedging or uncorrelated assets.
- Beta of 0.46 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.
