Event Replay

What happened — and what it teaches

In mid-2015, the MSCI Emerging Markets index faced mounting headwinds as global investors navigated a complex backdrop of slowing Chinese growth, expectations of Federal Reserve rate hikes, and weakness in commodity markets. Emerging market equities as an asset class were under significant pressure, and the stakes were considerable: how investors responded to this deteriorating environment would test their ability to manage risk during a sustained correction.

Over 56 trading days from late June to early September 2015, the index declined 17.9% from 40.75 to 33.46. The maximum drawdown reached 23.1%, with the largest single-day move hitting 4.4%. This persistent downtrend created 10 decision points—4 of them critical—where participants had to choose between holding positions, reducing exposure, or adapting their approach to evolving conditions.

This replay hones the ability to make disciplined decisions under sustained pressure. Participants confront the psychological challenge of watching a 23.1% drawdown unfold, testing their commitment to risk management processes versus emotional reactions. The scenario emphasizes that navigating corrections requires position sizing discipline, clear criteria for when to act, and emotional regulation when facing losses. By replaying each day and receiving feedback, learners develop the judgment needed to manage volatility and preserve capital when markets trend against them.
