Note: Relative fund positioning is indicative in nature and is based on fundamental factors pertaining to relative risk return potential of 1) large caps vs mid caps vs small caps, 2) diversified vs
style/theme and 3) exposure to foreign currencies. For ex: higher the mid/small cap exposure, higher the risk return potential. This is a simplified illustration of potential Risk-Return profile of the
15
schemes and does not take into account various complex factors that may have a potential impact on the schemes.
