CAGR grows the whole pot A, so idle ladder cash dilutes it. IRR counts only dollars actually in the market over time, so it runs higher — the gap is the cash drag, which Avg capital deployed measures directly. IRR only "counts" if that idle cash earns its opportunity cost elsewhere.
Strategy vs benchmarks — returns & drawdown
| Series | XIRR | Max drawdown | Downside capture |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ladder strategy | 21.12% | -25.68% | — |
| Buy & hold | 20.75% | -33.43% | 94% |
Max drawdown is the bad-market headline — how deep each fell from its high. Downside capture is the bear-market analog to alpha: of a benchmark's loss in its down periods, the share the strategy absorbed (under 100% = protective, negative = the strategy gained while the benchmark fell).
