How Deep Can Your Investment Fall?

This analysis helps you understand how your investment would have behaved during historical market declines across different mutual fund categories. It shows not only how far investments fell but also how long they remained below previous highs before recovering.

What You'll Learn

Compare how Large Cap, Flexi Cap, Large & Mid Cap, Mid Cap, Multi Cap, Value, Focused, Small Cap and ELSS categories behaved during historical market downturns. Understand which categories experienced deeper declines, recovered faster and demonstrated greater resilience across different market cycles.

Methodology

The analysis identifies every historical drawdown event for each category using daily NAV data. For every decline, it measures the peak before the fall, the lowest point reached, the percentage decline, the time taken to recover and the complete recovery duration. The results summarise how investors historically experienced market corrections rather than focusing on a single market crash.

What Is Measured

For every category, EquityVoyage evaluates drawdown depth, drawdown duration, recovery time, recovery consistency and capital resilience. Together these measures help investors understand that investment risk is determined not only by how much a portfolio falls, but also by how quickly it recovers and how consistently it withstands different market conditions.

Data Source

Historical Net Asset Value (NAV) data is sourced from the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI). Drawdown and recovery statistics are calculated from historical NAV movements and are presented for educational purposes only. Historical performance should not be interpreted as a prediction of future market behaviour.
