each client profile with regard to his risk tolerance levels and specific preferences or concerns (the specific objective will be as mentioned in
the agreement with the client).
The general investment objectives of FT Select and FT Opportunities will be as follows:
FT Select: The investment philosophy of FT Select will be based on a bottom up approach to stock picking. The focus would be to invest in
companies, which have displayed efficient and profitable usage of capital or where re-structuring or favourable industry dynamics will result in
improved capital usage and returns in the future. FT Select may have a large cap orientation.
FT Opportunities: The investment process will be focused more on individual companies and the wealth they are creating for their shareholders
and less on macroeconomic indicators or taking views on the markets based on short term events. While broad analysis of the economy and
various sectors will be used as a starting point, the investment team will stress on a deeper search for businesses and managements creating
wealth. FT Opportunities will follow a bottom up approach to stock picking and choose the best companies across sectors, some of which could
even be in out-of-favour sectors. The aim will be to build a solid portfolio of stocks, which will have the ability to outperform the markets through
economic cycles. FT Opportunities will invest in stocks across the entire market capitalisation range.

6.0 Risk Factors
i. Securities investments are subject to market risk and there is no assurance or guarantee that the objectives of the investment will be
achieved.
6
ii. The investment value of portfolio may go up or down depending on the factors and forces affecting stock markets.
iii. Past performance of the Portfolio Manager/Fund Manager does not indicate the future performance of the same scheme in future or any
other future schemes of the Portfolio Manager.
iv. The past performance of the sponsor/FTAMIL/schemes of Mutual fund does not indicate the future performance of the Portfolios managed
under the Portfolio Management Services.
v. The Portfolio Manager is neither responsible nor liable for any losses resulting from the operations of the Portfolio schemes.
vi. The investments made by the Portfolio Manager are subject to risks arising from the investment objective, investment strategy and asset
allocation.
vii. The investment made by the Portfolio Manager is subject to risk arising out of non-diversification.
viii. The investments of the fund and resultant investment are subject to a very wide range of risks which include amongst others and by way of
illustration loss in value of investments due to, inter alia:
a. Overall economic slowdown, unanticipated bad corporate performance, environmental or political problems, changes in monetary or
fiscal policies (including changes in tax laws and rates), changes in government policies and regulations with regards to industry and
exports;
b. Act of state, sovereign action, Acts of God, Acts of war, civil disturbance;
c. Delisting or market closure, relatively small number of scrips accounting for a large proportion of trading volume;
ix. Limited liquidity in the market, settlement risk, impeding readjustment of portfolio composition, highly volatile stock markets in India. There
is also risk of total loss of value of an Asset, possibilities of recovery of loss in investments only through expensive legal process. Such loss
could arise due to factors which by way of illustration, include, default or non-performance of a third party, company’s refusal to register a
security due to legal stay or otherwise, disputes raised by third parties. Mis-judgment by the Portfolio Manager or his incapacitation due to
any reason, however remote, is also a risk. Thus the investment in Indian Capital Market involves above average risk for investors compared
with other types of investment opportunities. Investments will be of a longer duration compared to trading in securities. There is a possibility
of the value of investment and the income there from falling as well as rising depending upon the market situation.
ix. The Portfolio Manager is not guaranteeing or assuring any return on investment.
