Risk Factors In Such Funds

  • A minimum of 80% of the Scheme's net assets will be allocated to equity and equity-related instruments of technology and technology-related companies. Because the Scheme is sectoral in nature, it will be impacted by the risks related to investing in this industry.

  • Because the scheme's investment universe is primarily restricted to technology-related companies and their instruments, there is a risk that the portfolio will not be sufficiently diversified. As a result, there may not always be as much room for diversification and a high degree of concentration is anticipated among the technology-related companies and their instruments.

  • Equities shares and associated instruments are prone to daily price swings and are considered volatile. As a result, the investments linked to equity and equity may lose value.

  • The Company's investments may experience changes in value and marketability due to modifications or advancements in India's legal and regulatory environment.
