Drawdown Analyzer
Every peak-to-trough fall in a fund's history — how deep, how long, and how long to recover.
Top drawdowns, ranked
A Nifty-50-style fund shows its deepest falls — roughly −38% in the March 2020 COVID crash, far more in 2008 — each annotated with how long it stayed underwater before recovering. Depth and recovery time together tell you how the fund behaves under stress, before you commit.

Common questions
What is a drawdown?+
A drawdown is the percentage decline from a fund's peak NAV to a later trough. If NAV fell from ₹100 to ₹65, that's a 35% drawdown. The analysis shows not just how far a fund fell but how long it stayed underwater before reaching a new high.
Why does drawdown matter more than volatility?+
Standard deviation is abstract. Drawdown is intuitive: 'if I'd invested at the worst time, how much would I have lost, and for how long?' For anyone who might panic-sell in a crash, knowing historical drawdowns sets realistic expectations up front.
What's the maximum drawdown of a Nifty 50 index fund?+
Roughly 58–60% during the 2008 Global Financial Crisis and about 38% in the March 2020 COVID crash. The 2008 fall took around four years to recover; the 2020 crash recovered in about five months.
How is drawdown calculated?+
From daily NAV: we track the running maximum NAV and the percentage decline from that peak at each date. The chart plots that time series, and the top events are ranked by depth with their peak, trough and recovery dates.
