Important statutory disclosure regarding mutual fund investments and market volatility.
Mutual Fund Investments Are Subject to Market Risks
Mutual Fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully before investing. Mutual fund investments are not bank deposits and are not guaranteed or insured against market losses.
1. Market Risk
The value of mutual fund investments may rise or fall depending on movements in equity markets, interest rates, credit conditions, currency movements, economic conditions and other factors.
An investor may receive less than the amount originally invested.
2. Equity Risk
Equity-oriented mutual funds can experience significant short-term volatility. Share prices may decline because of company-specific developments, economic conditions, market sentiment, geopolitical events or other factors.
Higher potential long-term growth is accompanied by higher market risk.
3. Debt and Fixed-Income Risk
Debt-oriented mutual funds are not risk-free. They may be affected by:
- Interest-rate risk
- Credit/default risk
- Liquidity risk
- Reinvestment risk
- Downgrade risk
- Market and economic conditions
A debt fund can also generate negative returns over certain periods.
4. Hybrid Fund Risk
Hybrid funds invest across more than one asset class. Although diversification may help manage portfolio risk, hybrid funds remain subject to the risks associated with their underlying investments.
5. SIP Risk
A SIP is a method of investing and does not guarantee profits. SIP may help create investment discipline and spread purchases over time, but it does not eliminate market risk.
The value of a SIP investment can decline, particularly over shorter periods.
