Benchmark Metrics

#XIC Only has an annualized alpha of 3.68%, beta of 0.60, and R2 of 0.48 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since July 06, 2006.

  • This portfolio participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (68.79%) than losses (61.57%) - typical of diversified or defensive assets.
  • Beta of 0.60 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.48 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 0.48 means the benchmark explains less than half of this portfolio's behavior - treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
