What happens when an investor misses Nifty's best days?

Missing Nifty's best-performing days can significantly reduce long-term investment returns. A Moneycontrol analysis of the Nifty 50 TRI over 21 years showed that staying fully invested yielded a 13.55% CAGR, while missing the 10 best days reduced returns to 9.65%. The value of a ₹1 lakh investment fell from ₹14.4 lakh to ₹6.9 lakh after missing the 10 strongest days.
