Analysis Shows Missing Market's Best Days Reduces Long-Term Equity Returns
A 21-year analysis by Abakkus Mutual Fund highlights the significant impact of missing the stock market's best-performing days on long-term returns across major Indian equity indices. For example, missing the top five days reduced the Nifty 50 TRI's CAGR from 13.67% to 11.31%, and missing 50 days dropped it to 1%. This effect was consistent across large-, mid-, and small-cap indices, emphasizing the risks of market timing. Additionally, investors are advised to regularly review and reconsider holding underperforming stocks to protect portfolio value.
