Objective and risk(6 Oct 2026)

Objective

The investment objective of the Scheme is to deliver superior returns as compared to the underlying benchmark over the medium to long term through investing in equity and equity related securities. The portfolio of stocks will be selected, weighed and rebalanced using stock screeners, factor based scoring and an optimization formula which aims to enhance portfolio exposures to factors representing good investing principles such as growth, value and quality within risk constraints. There is no assurance that the investment objective of the Scheme will be achieved
