We explain how an $SU(2)_R$ R-symmetry allows alignment of the vacuum expectation value and the mass eigenstates in the Higgs bosons squared-mass matrix. More important, we discuss how our parametrization of the breaking of this global symmetry allows to quantitatively apprehend the diverse sources of misalignment, which are kept, by supersymmetry, small.
