Benchmark Metrics
BRL/USD has an annualized alpha of -5.95%, beta of 0.34, and R2 of 0.16 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since July 11, 2007.
- This currency participated in 65.85% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 21.49% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.34 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.16 this currency 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 currency's risk.
- R2 of 0.16 means this currency moves largely independently of S&P 500 Index - capture ratios reflect limited market correlation rather than active downside protection. Consider using a more representative benchmark.
