Assumptions and estimates

  • Recovery is measured from the current value back to the peak. A complete loss cannot recover through a finite percentage return on a zero balance.
  • Method: Compare the current value with the prior peak; divide the shortfall by current value for required recovery.
  • A zero balance has no finite recovery percentage; no return is guaranteed.
