    7

    ii. The investment value of portfolio may go up or down depending on the factors and forces affecting stock markets.

    iii. Past performance of the Portfolio Manager/Fund Manager does not indicate the future performance of the same scheme in future or anyother future schemes of the Portfolio Manager.

    v. The Portfolio Manager is neither responsible nor liable for any losses resulting from the operations of the Portfolio schemes.

    vi. The investments made by the Portfolio Manager are subject to risks arising from the investment objective, investment strategy and assetallocation.

    vii. The investment made by the Portfolio Manager is subject to risk arising out of non-diversification.

    viii. The investments of the fund and resultant investment are subject to a very wide range of risks which include amongst others and by way ofillustration loss in value of investments due to, inter alia:

    a. Overall economic slowdown, unanticipated bad corporate performance, environmental or political problems, changes in monetary orfiscal policies (including changes in tax laws and rates), changes in government policies and regulations with regards to industry andexports;

    b. Act of state, sovereign action, Acts of God, Acts of war, civil disturbance;

    c. Delisting or market closure, relatively small number of scrips accounting for a large proportion of trading volume;

    ix. Limited liquidity in the market, settlement risk, impeding readjustment of portfolio composition, highly volatile stock markets in India. Thereis also risk of total loss of value of an Asset, possibilities of recovery of loss in investments only through expensive legal process. Such losscould arise due to factors which by way of illustration, include, default or non-performance of a third party, companys refusal to register asecurity due to legal stay or otherwise, disputes raised by third parties. Mis-judgment by the Portfolio Manager or his incapacitation due toany reason, however remote, is also a risk. Thus the investment in Indian Capital Market involves above average risk for investors comparedwith other types of investment opportunities.
