RISK FACTORS Standard Risk Factors 1. Investment in Mutual Fund Units involves investment risks such as trading volumes, settlement risk, liquidity risk, default risk including the possible loss of principal. 2. As the price / value / interest rates of the securities in which the scheme invests fluctuates, the value of your investment in the scheme may go up or down. 3. Past performance of the Sponsors/AMC/Mutual Fund does not guarantee future performance of the scheme. 4. The name of the scheme does not in any manner indicate either the quality of the scheme or its future prospects and returns. 5. The sponsors are not responsible or liable for any loss resulting from the operation of the scheme beyond the initial contribution of `10,000/- made by them towards setting up the Fund. 6. The present scheme is not a guaranteed or assured return scheme . 7. Statements/Observations made are subject to the laws of the land as they exist at any relevant point of time. 8. Growth, appreciation, dividend and income, if any, referred to in this Scheme Information Document are subject to the tax laws and other fiscal enactments as they exist from time to time. 9. The NAVs of the Scheme may be affected by changes in the general market conditions, factors and forces affecting capital market, in particular, level of interest rates, various market related factors and trading volumes, settlement periods and transfer procedures. 10. The liquidity of the Scheme’s investments is inherently restricted by trading volumes in the securities in which it invests. 11. Mutual Funds being vehicles of securities investments are subject to market and other risks and there can be no guarantee against loss resulting from investing in schemes. The various factors which impact the value of scheme investments include but are not limited to fluctuations in the equity and bond markets, fluctuations in interest rates, prevailing political and economic environment, changes in government policy, factors specific to the issuer of securities, tax laws, liquidity of the underlying instruments, settlement periods, trading volumes etc. and securities investments are subject to market risks and there is no assurance or guarantee that the objectives of the Scheme will be achieved. 12. As the liquidity of the Scheme’s investments could at times, be restricted by trading volumes and settlement periods, the time taken by the Fund for redemption of units may be significant in the event of an inordinately large number of redemption requests or of a restructuring of the Scheme’s portfolio. In view of this the Trustee has the right, in sole discretion to limit redemptions (including suspending redemption) under certain circumstances, as described under the section titled “Right to limit Redemptions” in SAI.
