Benchmark Metrics

PLN/USD has an annualized alpha of -3.46%, beta of 0.27, and R² of 0.15 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since April 24, 2007.

  • This currency participated in 59.44% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 25.60% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.27 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.15 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 0.15 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.
