What is the difference between drawdown and loss?
A loss is realised when you sell for less than you paid. A drawdown measures the decline from a previous high point on paper, whether or not you sell, so a portfolio can be in drawdown while still up on your original investment.
What is maximum drawdown?
It is the largest peak-to-trough fall over the period being measured, expressed as a percentage of the peak. It answers the question of how bad the worst stretch would have felt, which volatility figures on their own do not show.
What is pension drawdown?
It is a UK retirement arrangement in which you leave your pension pot invested and take money out of it as income, rather than buying an annuity. The upside is flexibility and any future growth; the risk is that the pot can run out.
