Worst falls, and the wait to get back

Fell over 4 months, back to the old high on 03 Aug 2026 — 4 months under water after the low.

Measured on this fund’s own NAV history, peak to trough to the day it regained the peak. Falls shallower than 5% are left out. A recovery date is when the NAV got back, not when any particular investor did — that depends on when they bought.
