*’Maximum Drawdown
“The maximum loss from a peak to a trough of a portfolio, before a new peak is attained. Maximum Drawdown (MDD) is an indicator of downside risk over a specified time period. It can be used both as a stand-alone measure or as an input into other metrics such as “Return over Maximum Drawdown” and Calmar Ratio. Maximum Drawdown is expressed in percentage terms and computed as:
(Trough Value – Peak Value) ÷ Peak Value”

With the SMSF Growth and SMSF Balanced portfolios is there any reason stocks were restricted to below $5? Will be watching these portfolios closely once the market turns.
