Drawdown

Drawdown is the decline from a portfolio peak to its lowest point before recovery.

Explanation

Maximum drawdown is a common risk metric. It helps investors understand how deep losses may get during stressed market periods.

Example

A portfolio falling from 100,000 to 78,000 has a 22% drawdown.
