Worst peak-to-trough drop within the last ~3 years
Max Drawdown (3y) shows the deepest peak-to-trough loss within the selected 3-year window. It answers the question: how bad did the pain get at the worst point?
Drawdown is about pain, not final outcome. A great long-term winner can still look brutal on this metric if the journey included one severe collapse.
Technical definition, calculation notes and sources stay available here without dominating the explanation.
Max drawdown (3y) shows the largest decline within roughly the last 3 years: from a local peak to the subsequent low.
That makes the metric less dominated by very old history and therefore fairer across assets than an all-time value.
As with all drawdowns: the value is negative. Less negative means the worst drop was milder.
Use the ranking after the explanation, not as a standalone investment signal.

Read it with Return (3y) to see whether the medium-term reward justified the worst loss.
Use CAGR/Drawdown Ratio when you want one combined growth-versus-pain lens.
Compare the 3-year and 365d versions to see whether stress is old history or still recent.
