with Investment in Equity Market: • The NAVs of schemes investing in equity will fluctuate as the daily prices of the individual securities in which they invest fluctuate and the units when redeemed may be worth more or less than their
original cost. • The value of the schemes’ investments may be affected generally by factors affecting capital markets such as price and volume volatility in the stock markets, interest rates, currency exchange rates, foreign investment,
changes in government policy, political, economic or other developments and closure of the stock exchanges. • Investment made in unlisted equity or equity-related securities may only be realizable upon listing of these securities.
Settlement problems could cause the Schemes to miss certain investment opportunities.
