Risk: A solid way to judge risk is by checking how much TEL fell in past market downturns. It plunged 68% in the Dot-Com crash, 63% during the Global Financial Crisis, and 55% in the 2022 inflation sell-off. Even in smaller pullbacks like 2018 and the Covid crash, losses topped 20%. Good fundamentals matter, but TEL isn’t immune when the market takes a hit.
