Understanding drawdown: What it means for your investment strategy

1.Drawdown is the decline in the value of an investment from its peak to its lowest point over a specific period.

2.It is usually expressed as a percentage, showing how much the value has dropped from its highest point.

3.If the investment value is Rs.10,000 and it drops to Rs.9,000, before moving above Rs.10,000, then the investment has witnessed a 10% drawdown.

4.Understand the risk and downside volatility of an investment. A higher drawdown indicates greater risk.
