<p id="isPasted">Equity drawdown is the decline in an investment's value from its peak to a subsequent low point, measured as a percentage to represent risk and potential losses. It is a key metric for assessing volatility, and while it represents a temporary drop, understanding the size and duration of drawdowns is crucial for risk management. It is different from a simple loss, which is calculated from the purchase price to the exit price. &nbsp;</p><p><br></p>
