Benchmark Metrics

Sixth Street Specialty Lending, Inc. has an annualized alpha of 7.09%, beta of 0.60, and R² of 0.22 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since March 24, 2014.

  • This stock participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (89.00%) than losses (80.49%) — typical of diversified or defensive assets.
  • Beta of 0.60 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.22 this stock 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 stock's risk.
  • R² of 0.22 means this stock 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.
