Making up lost ground can be difficult

Our low volatility ETFs can potentially minimize the drawdown you experience. The chart depicts the more loss you experience on an investment, the greater gain is needed to bring the investment back to whole.

The chart depicts the relationship between investment losses and the required gains needed to recover to its original value. As the initial loss increases, the necessary gain to restore the investment to its original value becomes more significant. For instance, a 10% loss necessitates an 11% gain for recovery and a 30% loss requires a 43% gain to recover. 

Data presented is provided for illustrative purposes only and based on a basic mathematical recovery principle. Not intended to represent an investment in the fund or any other strategy.
