Analysis Shows Impact of Missing Nifty 50's Best Days on Long-Term Returns
An analysis by Abakkus Mutual Fund shows that staying invested in the Nifty 50 Total Return Index (TRI) from April 2005 to August 2026 yielded a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.55%. Missing the market's best days significantly reduces returns, with the CAGR dropping to 9.65% if the 10 best days are missed and to 0.94% if the 50 best days are missed. The Nifty 50 index, after falling 8.5% from its January 2026 peak, has partially recovered but still requires a 9.3% gain to reach its previous high, highlighting the challenges of timing market exits and entries.
