6) Risk Factors:
10
The investments made in securities are subject to market risk and there is no assurance or
guarantee that the objectives of investments will be achieved. Following are the risk factors
as perceived by management:
· The Client is not being offered any guaranteed/assured returns or any guarantee of capital
nor income or returns or capital appreciation.
· The Past Performance of the investments made/recommended by the Portfolio Manager
shall not be construed as an indication of future results, which may prove to be better or
worse than the past. The Investments made by the Portfolio Manager may go up or down in
value, depending on the market conditions.
· Investment in equities, derivatives and mutual funds and Exchange Traded Index Funds are
subject to market risks and there is no assurance or guarantee that the objective of
investments will be achieved.
· The Client confirms that the Portfolio Manager will not be responsible for any loss or
damage occasioned by, including not limited to market conditions, force majeure
circumstances, delays on part of companies or other authorities including government
authorities, errors of judgment on the part of Decimal, its Founders, employees and/or
acts of other intermediaries, custodians and other external agencies or other factors
beyond the knowledge or control of the Portfolio Manager.
· As with any investment in securities, the Net Asset Value of the portfolio can go up or down
depending upon the factors and forces affecting the capital markets.
· Investments in securities involves certain risks and the value of investments may be affected
generally by factors affecting capital markets, such as price and volume, volatility in the stock
market, foreign investments, interest rates, changes in government policies, taxation,
political, economic or other developments and closure of the stock exchange.
· The past performance of the Portfolio Manager does not indicate its future performance.
Investors are not being offered any guaranteed returns.
· The performance of the Assets of the Client may be adversely affected by the performance
of individual securities, changes in the market place and industry specific and macroeconomic
factors. The investment strategies are given different names for convenience purpose and
the names of the Strategies do not in any manner indicate their prospects or returns.
· Investments in debt instruments and other fixed income securities are subject to default risk,
liquidity risk and interest rate risk. Interest rate risk results from changes in demand and
supply for money and other macroeconomic factors and creates price changes in the value
of the debt instruments. Consequently, the Net Asset Value of the portfolio may be subject
to fluctuation.
· Investments in debt instruments are subject to reinvestment risks as interest rates prevailing
on interest amount or maturity due dates may differ from the original coupon of the bond,
which might result in the proceeds being invested at a lower rate.
· The Portfolio Manager may invest in non-publicly offered debt securities, unlisted equities
and equity warrants. This may expose the Client's portfolio to liquidity risks.
· Engaging in securities lending is subject to risks related to fluctuations in collateral
11
value/settlement/liquidity/ counterparty.
· The Portfolio Manager may use derivatives instruments like index futures, stock futures and
options contracts, warrants, convertible securities, swap agreements or any other
derivative instruments for the purpose of hedging and portfolio balancing, as permitted
under the Regulations and guidelines. Usage of derivatives will expose the Portfolio to
certain risks inherent to such derivatives. As and when the Portfolio Manager deals in the
derivatives market on behalf of the Client, there are risk factors and issues concerning the
use of derivatives that investors should understand.
· Derivative products are specialized instruments that require investment techniques and risk
analyses different from those associated with stocks and bonds. The use of a derivative
requires an understanding not only of the underlying instrument but of the derivative itself.
Derivatives require the maintenance of adequate controls to monitor the transactions
entered into, the ability to assess the risk that a derivative adds to the portfolio and the
ability to forecast price or interest rate movements correctly. There is the possibility that a
loss may be sustained by the portfolio as a result of the failure of another party (usually
referred to as the “counter party”) to comply with the terms of the derivatives contract.
Other risks in using derivatives include the risk of mispricing or improper valuation of
derivatives and the inability of derivatives to correlate perfectly with underlying assets,
rates and indices. Thus, derivatives are highly leveraged instruments. Even a small price
movement in the underlying security could have a large impact on their value.
· There are inherent risks arising out of investment objectives, investment strategy, asset
allocation and non-diversification of portfolio.
· The Net Asset Value may be affected by changes in settlement periods and transfer
procedures.
· After accepting the corpus for management, the Portfolio Manager may not get an
opportunity to deploy the same time or there may be some delay in deployment. In such
situation the Clients may suffer an opportunity loss.
· The Client understand that the Portfolio Manager is in no way responsible for any delays
experienced in the purchase of shares due to illiquidity of the market, settlement and
realization of sale proceeds and the registration of any securities transfer and any delays in
receiving cash and scrip dividends and resulting delays in reinvesting them. The Client
understands and approves that Edelweiss Securities is the current broker and custodian of
the Portfolio manager
· The Client has been informed, understood and agreed that Decimal or its Fund Managers,
employees and stakeholders, and or their families, may invest its own funds in the capital
markets. The client further agrees that Decimal or its Fund Managers may hold and or
invest in the same securities / or additional securities and shares as those invested in the
Client’s portfolio by the Portfolio Manager.

14) General:
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA):
The Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act (the “Hire Act”) was signed into US law in
March 2010. It includes provisions generally known as FATCA. The intention of these is that
details of U.S. investors holding assets outside the US will be reported by financial institutions
to the IRS, as a safeguard against U.S. tax evasion. As a result of the Hire Act, and to
discourage non-U.S. financial institutions from staying outside this regime, financial
institutions that do not enter and comply with the regime will be subject to a 30% penalty
withholding tax with respect to certain U.S. source income (including dividends) and gross
proceeds from the sale or other disposal of property that can produce U.S. source income.
Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code impose a 30% withholding tax
on certain payments to a foreign financial institution (“FFI”) if that FFI is not compliant with
FATCA. The Company is a FFI and thus, subject to FATCA. Beginning 1 July 2014*, this
withholding tax applies to payments to the Company that constitute interest, dividends and
other types of income from U.S. sources (such as dividends paid by a U.S. corporation) and
beginning on 1 January 2017, this withholding tax is extended to the proceeds received from
the sale or disposition of assets that give rise to U.S. source dividend or interest payments.
These FATCA withholding taxes may be imposed on payments to the Company unless (i) the
Company becomes FATCA compliant pursuant to the provisions of FATCA and the relevant
regulations, notices and announcements issued there under, or (ii) the Company is subject to
an appropriate Intergovernmental Agreement to improve international tax compliance and
to implement FATCA. The Company intends to comply with FATCA in good time to ensure
that none of its income is subject to FATCA withholding or such date as may be applicable
India has entered into Inter Governmental Agreement (“IGA”) with USA on 9th July 2015 and
has notified Income Tax rules for compliance with FATCA regulations. Further, India has also
signed a multilateral agreement on June 3, 2015, to automatically exchange information
based on Article 6 of the Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters
under the Common Reporting Standard (CRS). The Portfolio Manager intends to take any
measures that may be required to ensure compliance under the terms of the IGA and local
implementing regulations. In order to comply with its FATCA/CRS obligations, the Company
will be required to obtain certain information from its investors so as to ascertain their tax
status. If the investor is a specified person, or does not provide the requisite documentation,
the Company may need to report information on these investors to the appropriate tax
authority, as far as legally permitted. If an investor or an intermediary through which it holds
its interest in the Company either fails to provide the Company, its agents or authorised
representatives with any correct, complete and accurate information that may be required
for the Company to comply with FATCA/CRS, the investor may be subject to withholding on
amounts otherwise distributable to the investor, may be compelled to sell its interest in the
Company or, in certain situations, the investor’s interest in the Company may be sold
involuntarily. The Company may at its discretion enter into any supplemental agreement
without the consent of investors to provide for any measures that the Company deems
appropriate or necessary to comply with FATCA/CRS, subject to this being legally permitted
under the IGA or the Indian laws and regulations. Other countries are in the process of
adopting tax legislation concerning the reporting of information. The Company also intends
to comply with such other similar tax legislation that may apply to the Company although the
exact parameters of such requirements are not yet fully known. As a result, the Company
may need to seek information about the tax status of investors under such other country’s
laws and each investor for disclosure to the relevant governmental authority. Investors
should consult their own tax advisors regarding the FATCA/CRS requirements with respect to
22
their own situation. In particular, investors who hold their Units through intermediaries
should confirm the FATCA/CRS compliance status of those intermediaries to ensure that they
do not suffer FATCA/CRS withholding tax on their investment returns.
