  1. low-water mark

    A low-water mark, in finance and investing, refers to the lowest point in value that an investment fund or account has reached over a specific time period. It is often used to determine the performance fee paid to the fund manager. If the fund's value falls below the previously established low-water mark, the manager typically doesn't receive a performance fee until the fund's value rises above this mark. In a broader context, low-water mark can also refer to the lowest or worst point in any situation or field.
