Benchmark Metrics
John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust Lifestyle Conservative Portfolio has an annualized alpha of 1.27%, beta of 0.19, and R² of 0.38 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since February 02, 2017.
- This fund participated in 37.65% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 27.53% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.19 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.38 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 0.38 means the benchmark explains less than half of this fund's behavior — treat beta with caution or consider switching to a more representative benchmark.
