Risk Factors: Mutual funds, like securities investments, are subject to market and other risks and there can be no assurance that the Schemes’ objectives will be achieved. As with any investment in securities, the NAV of Units issued under the Schemes can go up or down depending on the factors and forces affecting capital markets. The NAV of the Schemes’ Units may be affected by changes in the general level of interest rates. The past performance of the mutual funds managed by the Sponsors and their affiliates/associates is not necessarily indicative of the future performance of the Schemes. Investors in the Schemes are not being offered a guaranteed or assured rate of return The liquidity of the Scheme’s investments may be restricted by trading volumes, settlement periods and transfer procedures. In the event of an inordinately large number of redemption requests or of a restructuring of either of the Scheme’s portfolios, the time taken by the Fund for redemption of Units may become significant. Please see ‘Risk Factors and Special Considerations’ and ‘Right to Limit Redemptions’ in the Standard Offer Document. The liquidity & valuation of the Schemes’ investments due to its holdings of unlisted securities may be affected if they have to be sold prior to their target date of divestment.

As per SEBI circular each scheme and individual plan(s) under the schemes should have a minimum of 20 investors and no single investor should account for more than 25% of the corpus of such scheme/plan(s).

Since the NAV of the scheme is linked to the share price performance of such companies, they may outperform or under perform the benchmark index (BSE 100) and/or the constituents of the said benchmark index. Since DSPMLOF’s investment focus is on select sectors of the market the portfolio will be concentrated in select companies across these sectors. This may make the portfolios vulnerable to factors that may affect these sectors in general thereby leading to increased volatility in the movement of the scheme’s NAV. The NAV of DSPMLTEF is linked to the share price performance of the top 100 listed companies, which may outperform or under perform the benchmark index (the BSE 100) and/or its constituents.
