A managed mix of asset classes or strategies
The investment objective of the Scheme is to seek to generate reasonable returns by predominantly investing in arbitrage opportunities in the cash and derivatives segments of the equity markets and by investing balance in debt and money market instruments. There is no assurance that the objective of the Scheme will be realised and the Scheme does not assure or guarantee any returns.
Investors who understand that the risk depends on the scheme's actual equity, debt and derivative mix.
Market, credit, interest-rate and allocation risk can operate together.
