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.

5.A drawdown of 20% requires a 25% return to its old peak and a drawdown of 50% requires a 100% return to recover the peak.
