Why is the required gain higher than the drawdown?

Because recovery is calculated on the reduced base. For example, a 50% loss from ₹100,000 to ₹50,000 needs a 100% gain to return to ₹100,000.

Does this predict future performance?

No. It illustrates mathematics of compounding and recovery. Markets are uncertain and results can vary.

• From ₹50,000 to ₹100,000 = +100%

Formula: Required Gain = (Peak − Current) ÷ Current
