Objective and risk(8 Oct 2026)

Objective

The investment objective of the Scheme is to seek to generate income/long-term capital appreciation by investing in equity, equity derivatives, fixed income instruments and foreign securities. The allocation between equity instruments and fixed income will be managed dynamically so as to provide investors with long term capital appreciation while managing downside risk. However, there can be no assurance or guarantee that the investment objective of the scheme will be achieved.
