  1. Share = Rs 2,50,000.00 ÷ Rs 10,00,000.00 = 25.00%
  2. Loss = Rs 2,50,000.00 × 30.00% = Rs 75,000.00
  3. Portfolio falls 7.50%, needing 8.11% to get back

How this is worked out

  • Diversification is about correlation, not count. Five banks are one bet held five times — they rise and fall together, so the concentration figure above understates the real exposure.
  • The recovery figure is the part people underestimate: the deeper the hole, the more disproportionate the climb out of it.

On NEPSE

NEPSE is dominated by banking and finance, so a portfolio of Nepali shares is more correlated than the number of holdings suggests. Check how much of the total sits in one sector, not just one company.

This is a calculator, not advice. It works out arithmetic from the numbers you enter — it does not know your circumstances and does not tell you what to buy. Rate defaults were last checked in August 2026.
