Moderate confidence: R² is 0.15; these three factors explain some but not most of SKWD's day-to-day variance. Treat the split below as directional.

Of SKWD's +10.4pp move over this window, +3.8pp (37% of the total magnitude) is idiosyncratic, not explained by riding market, sector, or rate moves. The rest (+6.6pp) came from systematic exposure: market +1.6pp, sector +5.9pp, rate -0.9pp.
