Risk Profile of the Schemes Risk Management Strategy Plan & Options The exposure/investments of the schemes including exposure to derivatives will not exceed 100% of the net assets of the scheme. The asset allocation shown above is indicative and may be altered depending upon market conditions. Mutual Fund Units involve investment risks including the possible loss of principal. Please read the SID carefully for details on risk factors before investment. Scheme specific Risk Factors are summarized below: Risks associated with investing in Equity and Equity Related Securities Equity instruments carry both company specific and market risks and hence no assurance of returns can be made in respect of these investments. Equity and equity related securities are prone to daily price fluctuations and the liquidity of investments made in the Scheme may be restricted by trading volumes and settlement periods. Settlement periods may be extended significantly due to unforeseen circumstances. The inability of the Scheme to make intended securities purchases, due to settlement problems, could cause the Scheme to miss certain investment opportunities. Likewise, the inability to sell securities held in the Scheme s portfolio could result, at times, in potential losses to the Scheme, should there be a subsequent decline in the value of securities held in the Scheme s portfolio. Also, the value of the Scheme s investments may be affected by interest rates, currency exchange rates, changes in laws/policies of the government, taxation laws and political, economic or other developments which may have an adverse bearing on individual securities, a specific sector or all sectors. Risk associated with investment in Fixed Income ands money market instruments are as follows, Interest Rate Risk: As with all debt and money market instruments, changes in interest rates will affect the Scheme s Net Asset Value as the prices of securities generally increase as interest rates decline and generally decrease as interest rates rise. Liquidity or Marketability Risk: This refers to the ease at which a security can be sold at or near its true value. The primary measure of liquidity risk is the spread between the bid price and the offer price quoted by a dealer. Credit Risk: Credit risk or default risk refers to the risk which may arise due to default on the part of the issuer of the fixed income security (i.e. will be unable to make timely principal and interest payments on the security). Reinvestment Risk: This risk refers to the interest rate levels at which cash flows received from the securities in the Scheme or from maturities in the Scheme are reinvested. The additional income from reinvestment is the interest on interest component. The risk refers to the fall in the rate for reinvestment of interim cash flows. Risk associated with investment in Derivatives which involve Credit Risk, Illiquidity Risk etc. Schemes may invest in securitized debt such as asset backed securities(abs) or mortgaged backed securities (MBS) which involves risk like Payment Risk, Market Risk etc. Risk & description specific to Equity Risk Mitigation/ management strategy Quality Risk Risk of investing in unsustainable/ weak companies Investment universe carefully selected to only include companies of high quality business, sound financial strength and management of the company Price Risk : Risk of overpaying of company Fair Value based investment approach supported by comprehensive research Concentration risk Invest across the market capitalization (large cap, mid cap and small cap) spectrum and industries engaged in the development of infrastructure sector. Liquidity Risk : High Impact Cost Control portfolio liquidity at portfolio construction stage Volatility: Price volatility due to company or portfolio specific factors Risk & description specific to Debt Interest Rate Risk Credit Risk: Risk of default on payment by the issuer of a security The focus of the fund manager is on ensuring that Stocks selected for the portfolio and the allocation to each sector/stock does not lead to excessive volatility that is not in line with the positioning of the Scheme. The volatility of portfolio relative to peers, benchmark and broad market is monitored. Risk Mitigation/ management strategy The average maturity of period of a portfolio is one of the means of measuring the interest rate risk of the portfolio. Higher is the average maturity period, the fund stands exposed to a higher degree of interest risk. The portfolio duration of the scheme will be decide after doing a through research of general macroeconomics condition, political enviourment, liquidity position in system, inflationary expectorations and other economic considerations The scheme will emphasise on well managed, with above average growth prospects whose securities can be purchased at a good yield and whose debt securities will be mainly in securities listed as investments grade by a recognised authority like The Credit Rating and Information Services of India Limited (CRISIL), ICRA Limited (formerly, Investment Information and Credit Rating Agency of India Limited), Credit Analysis and Research Limited (CARE) etc. Liquidity Risk The liquidity of the Scheme s investments may be inherently restricted by trading volumes, transfer procedures and settlement periods. Liquidity Risk can be partly mitigated by diversification, staggering of maturities as well as internal risk controls that lean towards purchase of liquid securities. Volatility risks: There is the risk of volatility in markets due to external factors like liquidity flows, changes in the business environment, economic policy etc. The scheme will manage volatility risk through diversification. To that extent the Volatility risk will be mitigated in the scheme. Baroda Pioneer Growth Fund, The Schemes has no plans. The scheme has following two options Baroda Pioneer Balance Fund, a) Growth Option b) Dividend Option (Payout / Re- Investment) Baroda Pioneer Monthly Income Plan (MIP Fund) If the investor does not clearly specify the choice of Option at the time of Baroda Pioneer Income Fund and Baroda Pioneer GILT Fund investing, it will be considered as Growth Option.
