예시 포트폴리오 — 미국 분산 (AAPL · MSFT · SPY · TLT)
Volatility, expected return and Sharpe are the same figures as the Efficiency Check (Markowitz, 72 months). Market beta and alpha use the 70 months that overlap with the benchmark (US total market, 2020-11–2026-08).
Markowitz starts from the mix of assets you hold and checks whether changing the weights could improve return for the risk. CAPM starts from the market and checks how sensitive your portfolio was to market moves, and whether you earned enough for taking that risk.
Markowitz can serve you better when you adjust your allocation, and CAPM when you check your exposure to market declines and your investment performance.

Market data runs through 2026-08, so this uses 2 fewer months than the Efficiency Check (72 months).
At the same volatility (σ 15.4%), you earned 4.55 pp a year less than the benchmark line that mixes the market portfolio with the risk-free asset. For your total volatility, the return fell short of the market. Try comparing a broad-market mix with your current one.
When the market moved 1, your portfolio moved 0.84 on average. In a 20% market fall that points to a drop of about 16.8% (a simple calculation leaving out alpha and the risk-free return). Try it against your own amount in the Market shock scenarios tab.
72.6% of your volatility comes from market moves and 27.4% is the share a single market factor does not explain. If the specific share grows, use the market share (R²) in the By holding table to check whether you lean toward particular stocks or industries.
After removing what market beta explains, alpha is −2.76% a year, but with a p-value of 0.43 there is not enough evidence to tell it apart from zero. Rather than concluding there is no difference, read it as not yet enough evidence to judge.
Could size or value explain this alpha?
Run the same portfolio through the Return Driver Analysis (Fama–French 3F) to see how much of the alpha the market left unexplained is really size and value exposure.
