Benchmark Metrics
Silver has an annualized alpha of 8.92%, beta of 0.13, and R² of 0.01 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since February 05, 1970.
- This asset participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (31.02%) than losses (30.19%) — typical of diversified or defensive assets.
- Beta of 0.13 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.01 this asset 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 asset's risk.
- R² of 0.01 means this asset 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.
