What this tool tells you
Max drawdown
The largest peak-to-trough decline in your portfolio's history. The number investors abandon strategies over.
Underwater curve
How far below the previous high you were, month by month. Big dips = long stretches of pain.
Top drawdowns
The five worst declines, with peak date, trough date, recovery date, and time underwater.
Worst 12-month return
Your biggest annual loss. Useful for setting realistic expectations about a bad year.
Extended history
We use a fallback chain of index funds and mutual funds to extend ETF history back to 1980 (or earlier). You see 1973-74, 2000-02, and 2008-09 for ETFs that only launched later.
Drawdown Analyzer is an educational tool. Prices from institutional market data feeds, with pre-inception history extended via index and mutual fund proxies (how we do it). This is not investment advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
