Strategy-Specific Risks
Investing in mid and smaller companies may lack depth of management, be unable to generate funds necessary for growth or development, or be developing or marketing new products or services for which markets are not yet established and may never become established. They could also suffer from disadvantages such as outdated technologies, lack of bargaining power with suppliers, low entry barriers and inadequate management depth. Overall, the risks of investing in mid and small companies are:
- Transparency may not be on par with established companies;
- Liquidity on the exchanges may be lower than large companies;
- Corporate governance may be an issue with some companies; and
- Resilience to withstand shocks of business/economic cycles may be comparatively lower than large companies.
The Strategy invests in mid and small capitalisation companies that are undergoing special situations or are in midst of an unfavourable business cycle. Such a strategy may take longer than anticipated to play out as desired by the Portfolio Manager, which may fluctuate the PIPE Strategy returns.
The Strategy predominantly invests in equity and equity related securities including exchange trade derivatives and liquid and other short term mutual fund schemes including liquid ETF. Please refer the Disclosure Document for the below risk factors:
- Risks related to equity and equity linked investments
- Risks related to derivative investments
