Risk Factors In Such Funds
-
The Scheme will primarily engage in equities and equity-related instruments of firms that fall under the category of multinational corporations (MNCs), and as such, it will be subject to the risks associated with these organizations.
-
Because the Scheme aims to invest in equities and equity-related instruments of a certain group of companies, some of which may be considered multinational corporations (MNCs), the volatility and/or poor performance of these companies might materially negatively impact the Scheme's performance.
-
Concentration risk will affect the plan because the fund is required to invest in a specific industry or theme. Due to bigger concentrations in their exposures, this could cause the Portfolio NAV to be more volatile than it would be in a diversified portfolio.
-
As a result, if there are any significant redemptions within the scheme, the scheme may also be subject to a comparatively higher liquidity risk.
-
Due to the significant concentration risk associated with being a sectoral or themed scheme, capital risk.
