Benchmark Metrics
Fidelity Select Gold Portfolio has an annualized alpha of 7.97%, beta of 0.37, and R2 of 0.05 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since December 16, 1985.
- This fund participated in 52.99% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 52.20% of its upside - more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.37 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.05 this fund 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 fund's risk.
- R2 of 0.05 means this fund 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.
