C. Investment Strategy (Std Obv 27 & 28)
The Scheme seeks to generate long-term capital appreciation by primarily investing in equity and equity related
securities of the companies in the Pharmaceuticals, Healthcare and allied sectors, both within India and
internationally. The Scheme will follow active investment strategy and will invest across market capitalization.
Investments will be made in stocks of companies engaged in Pharmaceuticals, Healthcare, Hospital &
Diagnostics, Medical Equipment & Accessories, Distribution, research & manufacturing services,
Biotechnology, Healthcare research, innovation, analytics & technology, Hygiene, personal healthcare, fitness
& wellness, Insurance and allied sectors that, directly or indirectly supports the pharma value chain. The Scheme
also aims to identify and invest in emerging healthcare trends.
Invesco India Pharma and Healthcare Fund
12The above are only indicative and Scheme may invest in any other business or service directly or indirectly
forming part of the pharma, healthcare and allied sectors forming part of the Benchmark Index.
Risk Control
Risk is an inherent part of the investment function. Effective risk management is critical to fund management
for achieving financial soundness. Investments by the Scheme shall be made as per the investment objectives of
the Scheme and provisions of SEBI (MF) Regulations. AMC has incorporated adequate safeguards to manage
risk in the portfolio construction process. Risk control would involve managing risk in order to keep it in line
with the investment objective of the Scheme. The risk control process involves identifying the risk and taking
proper measures for the same. Risk such as Liquidity risk, volatility risk, Interest rate risk and such other risk
can be partly mitigated through diversification, staggering of maturities, as well as internal controls. The Scheme
may also use various derivatives products in accordance with the scheme objective and within the regulatory
restriction for the purpose of trading, hedging and portfolio balancing from time to time, with an attempt to
protect the value of the portfolio and enhance Unitholders' interest. While these measures are expected to
mitigate the above risks to a large extent, there can be no assurance that this risk would be completely eliminated.
Investment in Derivatives
The Scheme may invest in various derivative instruments which are permissible under the applicable Regulations
and shall also be subject to the investment objective and strategy of the Scheme and the internal limits if any, as
laid down from time to time. These include but are not limited to futures (both stock and index) and options
(stock and index). For detailed derivative strategies, please refer to SAI.
Portfolio Turnover
The Scheme being open ended Scheme, it is expected that there would be a number of subscriptions and
redemptions on a daily basis. The fund management team depending on its view and subject to there being an
opportunity, may trade in securities, which will result in increase in portfolio turnover. There may be an increase
in transaction cost such as brokerage paid, if trading is done frequently. However, the cost would be negligible
as compared to the total expenses of the Scheme. Frequent trading may increase the profits which will offset the
increase in costs. The fund manager will endeavour to optimize portfolio turnover to maximize gains and
minimize risks keeping in mind the cost associated with it. However, it is difficult to estimate with reasonable
measure of accuracy, the likely turnover in the portfolio of the Scheme.

Under Regulation 25(16A) of the SEBI (MF) Regulations, 1996 read with para 6.9 of SEBI Master Circular dated
June 27, 2024, the AMC will invest in the Scheme as a percentage of assets under management (‘AUM’) of the
Scheme based on risk assigned to the Scheme. For the purpose of this requirements, the risk value assigned to the
Scheme will be as per the risk-o-meter in terms of para 17.4.1.d as per SEBI Master Circular dated June 27, 2024
and risk-o-meter of immediately preceding month shall be considered. During NFO, AMC’s investment shall be
made during the allotment of units and shall be calculated as a percentage of the final allotment value excluding
AMC’s investment. Further, the investments will be maintained at all points of time till the Scheme is wound up
and will be reviewed on a quarterly basis to ensure that the investments are aligned due to change in AUM and /
or change in risk value of the Scheme. Based on quarterly review, shortfall in value of investments, if any, shall
be made good within 7 days of such review. Further, the AMC may withdraw any excess investments than what

15Part III. OTHER DETAILS
A. Computation of NAV
The Net Asset Value (NAV) per Unit under the Scheme will be computed by dividing the net assets of the Scheme
by the number of Units outstanding on the valuation day. The Mutual Fund will value its investments according
to the principle of fair valuation as specified in Schedule VIII of the SEBI (MF) Regulations, or such norms as
may be specified by SEBI from time to time.
The Net Assets Value (NAV) per unit Units of the Scheme shall be calculated by either of the following methods
shown below:
NAV (Rs.) = Market or Fair Current Assets Current Liabilities
Value of Scheme's + including Accrued - and Provisions
Investments Income
____________________________________________________________
No. of Units outstanding under Scheme on the Valuation Day
Or
Unit Capital + Reserves and Surplus
NAV (Rs.) =
No. of Units outstanding under the Scheme on the Valuation Day
Illustration of computation of NAV: (Std Obv 43)
The computation of NAV per unit using various components is explained as follows:
Particulars Amount in Rs.
Market or Fair Value of Scheme’s Investments ……(A) 10,00,00,000.00
Add: Current Assets including Accrued Income …..(B) 75,34,345.00
Less: Current Liabilities and Provisions …………..(C) (30,00,000.00)
Net Assets (A+B-C) 10,45,34,345.00
No. of Units outstanding under Scheme on the Valuation Day: 10,000,000.
The NAV per unit will be computed as follows: 10,45,34,345.00 / 10,000,000 = Rs. 10.45 p.u. (rounded off to
two decimals).
Methodology for calculation of sale and re-purchase price of the units:
1. Ongoing price for subscription (purchase) / switch-in (from other schemes/plans of the mutual fund)
by investors.
The Purchase Price of Units is the price at which an investor can subscribe /purchase Units of the Scheme. During
the continuous offer of the Scheme, the Units will be available at the Applicable NAV.
Pursuant to Para 10.4.1.a of SEBI Master Circular dated June 27, 2024, there is no entry load for purchase of
Units of the Scheme. Accordingly, Purchase Price will be equal to Applicable NAV.
Example: The applicable NAV of the Scheme is Rs. 11.00 p.u. Since Entry load is not applicable, the sale /
subscription price will be calculated as follows:
Sale / Subscription Price = Applicable NAV*(1+ Entry Load)
= Rs. 11*(1+0)
= Rs. 11.00*1
= Rs.11.00
The investors should also note that stamp duty at the applicable rate will be levied on applicable transactions i.e.
purchase, switch-in, IDCW reinvestment, instalment of Systematic Investment Plan, Systematic Transfer Plan.
Accordingly, pursuant to levy of stamp duty, the number of units allotted will be lower to that extent. For more
details & impact of stamp duty on number of units allotted, please refer section Stamp Duty.
Invesco India Pharma and Healthcare Fund
162. Ongoing price for redemption (sale) / switch outs (to other schemes/plans of the Mutual Fund) by
investors
Ongoing price for redemption /switch out (to other schemes/plans of the Mutual Fund) is price which a Unit
holder will receive for redemption/switch-outs.
During the continuous offer of the Scheme, the Unit holder can redeem the units at applicable NAV, subject to
payment of Exit Load, if any. It will be calculated as follows:
Redemption Price = Applicable NAV*(1-Exit Load, if any)
Example 1: The applicable NAV of the Scheme is Rs. 11.00 p.u. If the applicable Exit Load at the time of
investments is 1%, then the repurchase / redemption price will be calculated as follows:
= Rs. 11.00*(1-0.01)
= Rs.11.00*0.99
= Rs. 10.89
Example 2: The applicable NAV of the Scheme is Rs. 11.00 p.u. If the applicable Exit Load at the time of
investment is Nil, then the repurchase / redemption price will be calculated as follows:
Repurchase / Redemption Price = Applicable NAV*(1-Exit Load)
= Rs. 11.00*(1-0)
= Rs.11.00*1
= Rs. 11.00
The securities transaction tax levied under the Income-tax Act, 1961 at the applicable rate on the amount of
redemption will be reduced from the amount of redemption.
Investors/Unit holders should note that the Trustee has right to modify existing load structure and to introduce
Exit Load and/or any other Load subject to a maximum limit prescribed under the SEBI (MF) Regulations. Any
change in load structure will be effective on a prospective basis and will not affect the existing Unit holder in any
manner.
The Redemption / Repurchase Price will not be lower than 97% of the Applicable NAV. (Std Obv 48)
For other details such as policies w.r.t computation of NAV, rounding off, investment in foreign securities,
procedure in case of delay in disclosure of NAV etc. refer to SAI.

I. Introduction
A. Definition / interpretation
For the meaning of words, expressions and abbreviations used in this Scheme Information Document,
interpretations, please click on the functional website Link given below:
https://www.invescomutualfund.com/literature-and-form?tab=Scheme
B. Risk Factors (Std Obv 8)
Scheme specific risk factors:
Investing in a sectoral fund is based on the premise that the Scheme will seek to invest in companies belonging to
only specific theme / sector. In line with the investment objective, the Scheme will seek to invest in equity and
equity related securities of the companies in Pharmaceuticals, Healthcare and allied sectors and hence will be
affected by risks associated with these sectors / industries and hence concentration risk is expected to be high. The
performance of the companies which form the investment universe of this Scheme would be affected by the growth
and performance of the Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare sector in the country.
Risk associated with Equity and Equity Related Instruments:
Equity and Equity Related Instruments by nature are volatile and prone to price fluctuations on a daily basis due
to macro and micro economic factors. The value of Equity and Equity Related Instruments may fluctuate due to
factors affecting the securities markets such as volume and volatility in the capital markets, interest rates, currency
exchange rates, changes in law/policies of the Government, taxation laws, political, economic or other
developments, general decline in the Indian markets, which may have an adverse impact on individual securities,
a specific sector or all sectors. Consequently, the NAVs of the Units issued under the Scheme may be adversely
affected.
Further, the Equity and Equity Related Instruments are risk capital and are subordinate in the right of payment to
other securities, including debt securities.
Equity and Equity Related Instruments listed on the stock exchange carry lower liquidity risk; however the
Scheme’s ability to sell these investments is limited by the overall trading volume on the stock exchanges. In
certain cases, settlement periods may be extended significantly by unforeseen circumstances. The inability of the
Scheme to make intended securities purchases due to settlement problems could cause the Scheme to miss certain
investment opportunities. Similarly, the inability to sell securities held in the Scheme’s portfolio may result, at
times, in potential losses to the Scheme, should there be a subsequent decline in the value of securities held in the
Scheme's portfolio.
Further, the volatility of medium / small - capitalization stocks may be higher in comparison to liquid large
capitalization stocks.
Risk associated with Fixed Income and Money Market Instruments:
Interest - Rate Risk
Fixed Income and Money Market Instruments run interest-rate risk. Generally, when interest rates rise, prices of
existing fixed income securities fall and when interest rate falls, the prices increase. The extent of rise or fall in the
price is a function of existing coupon, days to maturity, increase or decrease in the level of interest, credit quality,
demand and supply. However, in case of Government securities credit risk remains zero, their prices are influenced
by the movement in interest rates in the financial system.
In case of floating rate instruments, an additional risk could arise because of changes in spreads of floating rate
instruments. With increase in spread of floating rate instruments, the price can fall and with decrease in spread of
floating rate instruments, the prices can rise. Moreover, the floating rate instruments having a periodical interest
rate reset carry lower interest rate risk compared to a fixed rate debt security. However, in the falling interest rate
scenario, the returns on floating rate debt instruments may not be better than those on fixed rate debt instruments.
Invesco India Pharma and Healthcare Fund
22Credit Risk
Credit risk or default risk refers to the risk that the issuer of a fixed income security may default on interest payment
or even in paying back the principal amount on maturity. Even where no default occurs, the price of a security may
be affected because of change in the credit rating of the issuer/instrument and the price of a security goes down if
the credit rating agency downgrades the rating of the issuer. In case of Government Securities, there is minimal
credit risk to that extent.
Lower rated or unrated securities are more likely to react to developments affecting the market and credit risk than
the highly rated securities which react primarily to movements in the general level of interest rates. Lower rated or
unrated securities also tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities.
Liquidity or Marketability Risk
The ability of the Scheme to execute sale/purchase order is dependent on the liquidity or marketability. The primary
measure of liquidity risk is the spread between the bid price and the offer price quoted by a dealer. The securities
that are listed on the stock exchange carry lower liquidity risk, but the ability to sell these securities is limited by
the overall trading volumes. Further, different segments of Indian financial markets have different settlement
cycles and may be extended significantly by unforeseen circumstances.
Securities which are not quoted on the stock exchange(s) may be illiquid and can carry higher liquidity risk in
comparison with securities which are listed on the stock exchange(s) and offer exit option to the investor including
put option. The Scheme would invest in the securities which are not listed but offer attractive yields. This may
however increase the risk of the portfolio.
Re-investment Risk
This refers to the interest rate risk at which the intermediate cash flows received from the securities in the Scheme
including maturity proceeds are reinvested. Investments in fixed income securities may carry re-investment risk as
interest rates prevailing on the interest or maturity due dates may differ from the original coupon of the debt
security. Consequently, the proceeds may get invested at a lower rate.
Risks associated with investing in Securitized Debt
The Scheme may invest in securitized debt such as asset backed securities (ABS) or mortgage-backed securities
(MBS). ABS are backed by other assets such as credit card, automobile or consumer loan receivables, retail loan
installment or participations in pools of leases. Credit support for these securities may be based on the underlying
assets and/or provided through credit enhancements by a third party. The values of these securities are sensitive to
changes in the credit quality of the underlying collateral, the credit strength of the credit enhancement, changes in
interest rates and at times the financial condition of the issuer. MBS is an asset backed security whose cash flows
are backed by the principal and interest payments of a set of mortgage loans. In the case of mortgage-backed
securities, these loans are usually first mortgages on residential properties. With asset backed securities, the loans
might be credit card receivables, auto loans and leases or home equity loans. As the underlying loans are paid off
by the borrowers, the investors in MBS/ABS receive payments of interest and principal over time.
MBS, particularly home loan transactions, are subject to interest-rate risk and prepayment risk. A change in interest
rates can affect the pace of payments on the underlying loans, which in turn, affects total return on the securities.
ABS also carries credit or default risks. If many borrowers on the underlying loans default, losses could exceed
the credit enhancement level and result in losses to investors in an ABS transaction. ABS has structure risk due to
a unique characteristic known as early amortization or early payout risk.
MBS carry interest rate risk. Maturity is a moving target with these securities. Depending on what happens to
interest rates after issuing the MBS, the maturity of the bond could shorten or lengthen dramatically. This is because
homeowners are allowed to refinance their mortgages, as decline in interest rates encourages many homeowners
to refinance their mortgages. Whereas rise in interest rates causes homeowners to hold on to their mortgages longer.
This will extend the originally estimated maturity dates of MBS.
ABS and MBS are also subject to prepayment risk. When purchasing an MBS, investors usually calculate some
degree of prepayment into their pricing. However, if prepayment happens unexpectedly or faster than predicted, it
may result in reduced actual duration as compared to the expected duration of the paper at the time of purchase,
which may adversely impact the portfolio yield.
The yield-to-maturity of such securities cannot be known for certain at the time of purchase since the cash flows
are not known. When principal is returned early, future interest payments will not be paid on that part of the
Invesco India Pharma and Healthcare Fund
23principal. If the bond was purchased at a premium, the bond’s yield will be less than what was estimated at the
time of purchase.
The credit enhancement stipulated represents a limited loss cover to the investors. These certificates represent an
undivided beneficial interest in the underlying receivables and do not represent an obligation of either the issuer
or the seller or the originator, or the parent or any affiliate of the seller, issuer and originator. No financial recourse
is available to the certificate holders against the investors’ representative. Delinquencies and credit losses may
cause depletion of the amount available under the credit enhancement and thereby the investor payouts to the
certificate holders may get affected if the amount available in the credit enhancement facility is not enough to
cover the shortfall. On persistent default of an obligor to repay his obligation, the servicer may repossess and sell
the asset. However, many factors may affect, delay or prevent the repossession of such asset or the length of time
required to realise the sale proceeds on such sales. In addition, the price at which such asset may be sold may be
lower than the amount due from that obligor.
These securities also carry risk associated with the collection agent. With respect to the certificates, the servicer
will deposit all payments received from the obligors into the collection account. However, there could be a time
gap between collection by a servicer and depositing the same into the collection account especially considering
that some of the collections may be in the form of cash. In this interim period, collections from the loan agreements
may not be segregated from other funds of originator. If originator in its capacity as servicer fails to remit such
funds due to investors, the investors may be exposed to a potential loss.
Risks associated with investing in SO Rated Papers
SO transactions are asset backed/ mortgage backed securities, securitized paper backed by hypothecation of car
loan receivables, securities backed by trade receivables, credit card receivables etc. In case of SO rated issuer, the
underlying loan pools and structure is assessed to arrive at rating for the issuer. In addition to all the risks associated
with the plain vanilla instruments like NCDs / Money market instruments etc., any instrument rated with the suffix
(SO) is subject to certain additional risks like:
• Underlying loan pools in case of SO rated securities can be of varying types and nature. SO securities are
rated and assessed based on assumption around homogeneity of the underlying loan pools. In certain cases,
the loan pools can show behavioral characteristics which are very different from initial assumptions and
as such increase the credit risks inherent in the transaction. Additionally, the loan pools may have pre-
payments which can increase the interest rate risk in the securities.
• In case of SO rated securities, the structure of the transaction carries comingling risk and risk of the servicer
of the transaction. As such, legal clauses and structural features are very important in addition to issuer
credit risk since lack of sufficient structural protection can cause leakage of cash and / or security being
available for investors.
• SO rated securities are complex structures with a variety of credit enhancements. Debt securities lack a
well-developed secondary market in India, and due to structured nature of SO securities, the liquidity in
the market for these instruments is limited compared to similar rated normal debt instruments. Thus, lower
secondary market liquidity in such instruments could cause challenges in timely selling by the
scheme. Additionally due to limited liquidity, schemes may incur higher impact costs when such
instruments are traded due to wider bid-offer spreads.
Additional risks associated with the CE rated papers
In addition to all the risks associated with the plain vanilla instruments like NCDs / Money market instruments
etc., any instrument rated with the suffix (CE) is exposed to various additional risks on the basis of the explicit
underlying Credit enhancement (CE) from a third party/ parent/ group company, in the form of corporate guarantee/
letter of comfort/ pledge of shares etc. The risk involved are:
• if the Credit Enhancement is in the form of Corporate Guarantee / Letter of Comfort, then there is a legal
risk of enforcing the Corporate Guarantee / Letter of Comfort along with the credit risk pertaining to the
Credit Enhancement provider.
• If the Credit Enhancement is in the form of pledge of shares, then the additional risks are those associated
with equity price movement, share collateral cover, liquidity of shares pledged as collateral in the
secondary market, availability of free shares with the CE provider to be provided as additional collateral.
Further there is also a legal risk of enforcing the pledge of shares, operational risk in selling the shares in
secondary market & the underlying impact cost.
• If the Credit Enhancement is in any other form, then there is a risk pertaining to legal enforceability of the
credit enhancement and credit risk of the credit enhancement provider.

24 Risk Factor associated with investing in Tier I and Tier II Bonds:
Tier I and Tier II Bonds are unsecured and the RBI prescribes certain restrictions in relation to the terms
of these Bonds:
Tier I and Tier II bonds are unsecured in nature. The claims of the Bondholders shall (i) be subordinated to the
claims of all depositors and general creditors of the Bank; (ii) neither be secured nor covered by any guarantee of
the Issuer or its related entity or other arrangement that legally or economically enhances the seniority of the claim
vis-a-vis creditors of the Bank; (iii) Unless the terms of any subsequent issuance of bonds/debentures by the Bank
specifies that the claims of such subsequent bond holders are senior or subordinate to the Bonds issued under the
Disclosure Document or unless the RBI specifies otherwise in its guidelines, the claims of the Bondholders shall
be pari passu with claims of holders of such subsequent debentures/bond issuances of the Bank; (iv) rank pari
passu without preference amongst themselves and other subordinated debt eligible for inclusion in Tier 1 / Tier 2
Capital as the case may be. The Bonds are not redeemable at the option of the Bondholders or without the prior
consent of RBI.
The Bonds (including all claims, demands on the Bonds and interest thereon, whether accrued or contingent) are
issued subject to loss absorbency features applicable for non-equity capital instruments issued in terms of Basel
III Guidelines including in compliance with the requirements of Annex 5 thereof and are subject to certain loss
absorbency features as described in bond prospectus and required of Tier 1 / Tier 2 instruments at the Point of Non
Viability as provided for in Annexure 16 of the aforesaid Basel III Guidelines as amended from time to time.
The Bonds are essentially non-equity regulatory instruments, forming part of a Bank's capital, governed by Reserve
Bank of India (RBI) guidelines. These instruments have certain unique features which, inter-alia, grant the issuer
(i.e. banks, in consultation with RBI) a discretion in terms of writing down the principal / interest, to skip interest
payments, to make an early recall etc. without commensurate right for investors to legal recourse, even if such
actions of the issuer might result in potential loss to investors. Payment of coupon on the Bonds is subject to the
terms of Information Memorandum, including Coupon Discretion, Dividend Stopper Clause, Loss Absorption as
contained in the Information Memorandum. The Bonds are subject to loss absorption features as per the guidelines
prescribed by RBI.
There may be no active market for the Bonds on the platform of the Stock Exchanges. As a result, the
liquidity and market prices of the Bonds may fail to develop and may accordingly be adversely affected:
There is no assurance that a trading market for the Bonds will exist and no assurance as to the liquidity of any
trading market. Although an application will be made to list the Bonds on the NSE and/or BSE, there can be no
assurance that an active market for the Bonds will develop, and if such a market were to develop, there is no
obligation on the issuer to maintain such a market. The liquidity and market prices of the Bonds can be expected
to vary with changes in market and economic conditions, financial condition and prospects and other factors that
generally influence market price of such instruments. Such fluctuations may significantly affect the liquidity and
market price of the Bonds, which may trade at a discount to the price at which one purchases these Bonds.
Issuer is not required to and will not create or maintain a Debenture Redemption Reserve (DRR) for the
Bonds issued under this Disclosure Document:
As per the Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules, 2014, as amended, no Debenture Redemption
Reserve is required to be created by Banking Companies issuing debentures.
There is no assurance that the Tier I / Tier II bonds will not be downgraded:
The Rating agencies, which rate the Bonds, have a slightly different rating methodology for Tier I and Tier II
bonds. In the event of deterioration of the financial health of the Issuer or due to other reasons, the rating of the
Bonds may be downgraded whilst the ratings of other bonds issued by the issuer may remain constant. In such a
scenario, for Tier I and Tier II Bond holders may incur losses on their investment.
Risk Factors Associated with repo transaction in Corporate Debt Securities:
Counterparty Risk: This refers to the inability of the seller to meet the obligation to buy back securities at the
contracted price. Fund Manager will endeavor to manage counterparty risk by dealing only with counterparties
having strong credit profiles assessed through in-house credit analysis and / or with entities regulated by
SEBI/RBI/IRDA. In the event of default by the repo counterparty, the Scheme will have recourse to the corporate
debt securities given as collateral to recover the investment by selling the collateral in the market. However, selling
of collateral will also be subject to liquidity risk in the market and the Scheme may incur impact cost at the time
of selling the collateral.
Invesco India Pharma and Healthcare Fund
25Collateral Risk: Collateral risk arises when the market value of the securities is inadequate to meet the repo
obligations or there is downward migration in rating of collateral. Further if the rating of collateral goes below the
minimum required rating during the term of repo or collateral becomes ineligible for any reason, counterparty will
be expected to substitute the collateral. In case of failure to do so, IAMI / Schemes of the Fund will explore the
option for early termination of the trade.
Risk Factor associated with investing in Securities Segment and Tri-party Repo trade settlement
Clearing Corporation of India Ltd. (‘CCIL’) is providing clearing and settlement services, for Triparty Repo trades
in Government Securities, under its Securities Segment. CCIL would act as a Central Counterparty to all the borrow
and lend Triparty Repo trades received by it for settlement. CCIL would also be performing the role responsibilities
of Triparty Repo Agent, in terms of Repurchase transactions (Repo) (Reserve Bank) Directions, 2018 as amended
from time to time. CCIL would settle the Triparty Repo trades, in terms of its Securities Segment Regulations.
The funds settlement of members is achieved by multilateral netting of the funds position in Triparty Repo with
the funds position in Outright and Market Repo and settling in the books of RBI for members who maintain an
RBI Current Account. In respect of other members, funds settlement is achieved in the books of Settlement Bank.
Securities settlement for Triparty Repo trades shall be achieved in the Gilt Account of the Member maintained
with CCIL. Securities obligation for outright and market repo trades shall be settled in the SGL / CSGL account
of the Member with RBI.
Invesco Mutual Fund is a member of securities segment and Tri-party Repo trade settlement of the CCIL. Since
all transactions of the Fund in government securities and in Tri-party Repo trades are settled centrally through the
infrastructure and settlement systems provided by CCIL, it reduces the settlement and counterparty risks
considerably for transactions in the said segments.
To mitigate the potential losses arising in case any member defaults in settling the transactions routed through
CCIL, CCIL maintains a Default Fund. CCIL shall maintain two separate Default Funds in respect of its securities
segment, one to meet the losses airing out of any default by its members from outright and repo trades and other
for meeting losses arising out of any default by its members from Triparty Repo trades.
In case any clearing member fails to honor his settlement obligations, the Default Fund is utilized to complete the
settlement applying the Default Waterfall Sequence. As per the said waterfall mechanism, after the defaulter’s
margins and defaulter’s contribution to default fund have been appropriated, CCIL’s contribution is used to meet
the losses. Post utilization of CCIL’s contribution, if there is still a loss to be met, then contribution of non-
defaulting members to Default Fund is utilized to meet the said loss.
The Scheme is subject to the risk of losing initial margin and contribution to Default Fund in the event of failure
of any settlement obligation. Further the Scheme’s contribution is allowed to be used to meet the residual loss in
case of default by the other clearing member (the defaulting member).
Further, CCIL periodically prescribes a list of securities eligible for contribution as collaterals by members.
Presently, all Central Government Securities and Treasury Bills are accepted as collaterals by CCIL. The above
risk factor may undergo a change in case the CCIL notifies securities other than Government of India Securities
as eligible for contributions as collateral.
Risks associated with investing in ADR/GDR and Foreign Securities (Std Obv 11)
Subject to necessary approvals, the Scheme may also invest in ADRs/ GDRs/ overseas financial assets as permitted
under the applicable regulations. The value of an investment in foreign securities may depend on general global
economic factors or specific economic and political factors relating to the country or countries in which the foreign
issuer operates. To the extent the assets of the Scheme are invested in overseas financial asset, there may be risk
associated with fluctuation in foreign exchange rates, restriction on repatriation of capital and earnings under the
exchange control regulations and transaction procedure in overseas market. The repatriation of capital to India may
also be hampered by changes in regulations concerning exchange controls, political circumstances, bi-lateral
conflicts or prevalent tax laws.
Investment in foreign securities carries currency risk. Currency risk is a form of risk that arises from the change in
price of one currency against other. The exchange risk associated with a foreign denominated instrument is a key
Invesco India Pharma and Healthcare Fund
26element in foreign investment. This risk flows from differential monetary policy and growth in real productivity,
which results in differential inflation rates. The risk arises because currencies may move in relation to each other.
Risks associated with investing in Derivatives (Std Obv 28)
Derivative products are leveraged instruments and can provide disproportionate gains as well as disproportionate
losses to the investor. Execution of such strategies depends upon the ability of the fund manager to identify such
opportunities. Identification and execution of the strategies to be pursued by the fund manager involve uncertainty
and decision of fund manager may not always be profitable. No assurance can be given that the fund manager will
be able to identify or execute such strategies. The risks associated with the use of derivatives are different from or
possibly greater than the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. The
use of a derivative requires an understanding not only of the underlying instrument but also 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.
Other risks include risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the inability of the derivative to correlate perfectly
with underlying assets, rates and indices, illiquidity risk whereby the Scheme may not be able to sell or purchase
derivative quickly enough at a fair price.
Risk Factors associated with investments in REITs and InvITs
• Market Risk: REITs and InvITs Investments are volatile and subject to price fluctuations on a daily basis
owing to factors impacting the underlying assets. AMC/Fund Manager’s will do the necessary due diligence
but actual market movements may be at variance with the anticipated trends.
• Liquidity Risk: As the liquidity of the investments made by the Scheme could, at times, be restricted by
trading volumes, settlement periods, dissolution of the trust, potential delisting of units on the exchange etc.,
the time taken by the Mutual Fund for liquidating the investments in the scheme may be high in the event of
immediate redemption requirement. Investment in such securities may lead to increase in the scheme
portfolio risk.
• Reinvestment Risk: Investments in REITs & InvITs may carry reinvestment risk as there could be
repatriation of funds by the Trusts in form of buyback of units or IDCW pay-outs, etc. Consequently, the
proceeds may get invested in assets providing lower returns.
• Regulatory/Legal Risk: REITs and InvITs being new asset classes, rights of unit holders such as right to
information etc. may differ from existing capital market asset classes under Indian Law.
Risks associated with Securities Lending
For Equity Instruments:
As with other modes of extensions of credit, there are risks inherent to securities lending. During the period the
security is lent, the Scheme may not be able to sell such security and in turn cannot protect from the falling market
price of the said security. Under the current securities lending and borrowing mechanism, the Scheme can call
back the securities lent any time before the maturity date of securities lending contract. However, this will be again
the function of liquidity in the market and if there are no lenders in the specified security, the Scheme may not be
able to call back the security and in the process, the Scheme will be exposed to price volatility. Moreover, the fees
paid for calling back the security may be more than the lending fees earned by Scheme at the time of lending the
said security and this could result in loss to the Scheme. Also, during the period the security is lent, the Fund will
not be able to exercise the voting rights attached to the security as the security will not be registered in the name
of the Scheme in the records of the Depository/issuer.
For Debt Instruments:
As with other modes of extensions of credit, there are risks inherent to securities lending, including the risk of
failure of the other party, in this case the approved intermediary, to comply with the terms of the agreement entered
into between the lender of securities i.e. the Scheme and the approved intermediary. Such failure can result in the
possible loss of rights to the collateral put up by the borrower of the securities, the inability of the approved
intermediary to return the securities deposited by the lender and the possible loss of any corporate benefits accruing
to the lender from the securities deposited with the approved intermediary. The Scheme may not be able to sell
such lent securities and this can lead to temporary illiquidity.
Invesco India Pharma and Healthcare Fund
27 Risks associated with Short Selling
The Scheme may enter into short selling transactions, subject to SEBI and RBI Regulations. Short positions carry
the risk of losing money and these losses may grow unlimited theoretically if the price of the stock increases
without any limit. This may result in major loss to the Scheme. At times, the participants may not be able to cover
their short positions, if the price increases substantially. If numbers of short sellers try to cover their position
simultaneously, it may lead to disorderly trading in the stock and thereby can briskly escalate the price even further
making it difficult or impossible to liquidate short position quickly at reasonable prices. In additions, short selling
also carries the risk of inability to borrow the security by the participants thereby requiring the participants to
purchase the securities sold short to cover the position even at unreasonable prices.
Risks associated with segregated portfolio
a. Investor holding units of segregated portfolio may not be able to liquidate their holding till the time recovery
of money from the issuer.
b. Security(ies) held in segregated portfolio may not realize any value.
c. Listing of units of segregated portfolio in recognized stock exchange does not necessarily guarantee their
liquidity. There may not be active trading of units in the stock market. Further trading price of units on the
stock market may be significantly lower than the prevailing NAV.
C. Risk Mitigation Strategies (Std Obv 9)
Risk Mitigation Measures: The Scheme will participate in both the upside risk and downside risk from the
performance of the pharma and healthcare sector. Our stock selection process can improve the performance of the
scheme.
Type of Risk Risk Mitigation Measures
Volatility By monitoring sector / company exposure at portfolio level.
Concentration By diversifying across stocks / sectors, concentration risk can be reduced. The fund manager
will endeavor to build well diversified portfolio within the overall fund specific investment
strategy which will help in controlling concentration risk.
Liquidity The fund manager will control the liquidity at portfolio construction level.
REITs and The Scheme will comply with the applicable SEBI limits and will endeavour to invest in REITs
InvITs & InvITs which have adequate liquidity in their tradeable units.
II. Information about the scheme
A. Where will the scheme invest (Std Obv 29)
The corpus of the Scheme will be predominantly invested in Equity and Equity related instruments of companies
in the Pharma, Healthcare and allied sectors, Debt and Money Market Instruments and other permitted securities
which will include but not limited to:
Equity and Equity Related Instruments:
1. Equity share is a security that represents ownership interest in a company. It is issued to those who have
contributed capital in setting up an enterprise.
2. Equity Related Instruments are securities which give the holder of the security right to receive equity shares
on pre agreed terms. It includes convertible debentures, convertible preference shares, warrants carrying the
right to obtain equity shares, equity derivatives and such other instrument as may be specified by SEBI from
time to time. Equity Derivatives are financial instrument, generally traded on an exchange, the price of
which is directly dependent upon (i.e. “derived from”) the value of equity shares or equity indices.
Derivatives involve the trading of rights or obligations based on the underlying, but do not directly transfer
property.
3. Derivatives:
Futures are exchange-traded contracts to sell or buy financial instruments for future delivery at an agreed
price. There is an agreement to buy or sell a specified quantity of financial instrument on a designated future
date at a price agreed upon by the buyer and seller at the time of entering into a contract. To make trading
possible, the exchange specifies certain standardized features of the contract. A futures contract involves an
obligation on both the parties to fulfill the terms of the contract.
Invesco India Pharma and Healthcare Fund
28SEBI has permitted futures contracts on indices and individual stocks with maturity of 1 month, 2 months
and 3 months on a rolling basis. The futures contracts are settled on last Thursday (or immediately preceding
trading day if Thursday is a trading holiday) of each month. The final settlement price is the closing price
of the underlying stock(s) / index. However, pursuant to SEBI Circular No.
SEBI/HO/MRD/DOPI/CIR/P/2018/161 dated December 31, 2018, stock derivatives are physically settled.
Option is a contract which provides the buyer of the option (also called holder) the right, without the
obligation, to buy or sell a specified asset at the agreed price on or upto a particular date. For acquiring this
privilege, the buyer pays premium (fee) to the seller. The seller on the other hand has the obligation to buy
or sell specified asset at the agreed price and for this obligation he receives premium. The premium is
determined considering number of factors such as the market price of the underlying asset/security, number
of days to expiry, risk free rate of return, strike price of the option and the volatility of the underlying asset.
Option contracts are of two types viz:
Call Option - The option that gives the buyer the right to buy specified quantity of the underlying asset at
the strike price is a call option. The buyer of the call option (known as the holder of call option) can call
upon the seller of the option (writer of the option) and buy from him the underlying asset at the agreed price
at any time on or before the expiry of the option.
The seller (writer of the option) on the other hand has the obligation to sell the underlying asset if the buyer
of the call option decides to exercise his option to buy.
Put Option - The right to sell is called put option. A Put option gives the holder (buyer) the right to sell
specified quantity of the underlying asset at the strike price. The seller of the put option (one who is short
Put) however, has the obligation to buy the underlying asset at the strike price if the buyer decides to exercise
his option to sell.
There are two kinds of options based on the date of exercise of right. The first is the European Option which
can be exercised only on the maturity date. The second is the American Option which can be exercised on
or before the maturity date.
W.e.f. December 31, 2010, all the options contracts in F&O Segment have European Option only.
• Debt and Money Market Instruments:
1. Non-convertible debentures as well as bonds are securities issued by companies / institutions promoted /
owned by the Central or State governments and statutory bodies, which may or may not carry a Central/State
government guarantee, public and private sector banks, All India Financial Institutions, private sector
companies. These instruments may be secured against the assets of the company or unsecured and generally
issued to meet the short term and long term fund requirements. Rate of interest on such instruments would
depend upon spread over corresponding government security, perceived risk, rating, tenor etc. These
instruments include fixed interest security with/without put/call option, floating rate bonds, zero coupon
bonds. Frequency of the interest payment could be either monthly/quarterly/half-yearly or annually.
2. Floating rate debt instruments are debt instruments issued by central government, state government,
corporates, PSUs etc. with coupon reset periodically. The periodicity of reset could be daily, monthly,
quarterly, half yearly and annually or any other periodicity as may be mutually agreed between the issuer
and the Fund. The fund manager will have the flexibility to invest the debt component into floating rate debt
securities in order to reduce the impact of rising interest rate in the economy.
3. Securitised Assets: Securitization is a structured finance process which involves pooling and repackaging
of cash-flow producing financial assets into securities that are then sold to investors. They are termed as
Asset Backed Securities (ABS) or Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS). ABS are backed by other assets
such as credit card, automobile or consumer loan receivables, retail installment loans or participations in
pools of leases. Credit support for these securities may be based on the underlying assets and/or provided
through credit enhancements by a third party. MBS is an asset backed security whose cash flows are backed
by the principal and interest payments of a set of mortgage loans. Such mortgage could be either residential
or commercial properties. ABS/MBS instrument reflect the undivided interest in the underlying assets and
do not represent the obligation of the issuer of ABS/MBS or the originator of underlying receivables.
Securitization often utilizes the services of Special Purpose Vehicle.
Invesco India Pharma and Healthcare Fund
29Note: The Scheme will not invest in foreign securitized debt.
4. Pass Through Certificate (PTC) represents beneficial interest in an underlying pool of cash flows. These
cash flows represent dues against single or multiple loans originated by the sellers of these loans. PTCs may
be backed, but not exclusively, by receivables of personal loans, car loans, two-wheeler loans and other
assets subject to applicable regulations.
5. Securities created and issued by the Central and State Governments as may be permitted by RBI, securities
guaranteed by the Central and State Governments (including but not limited to coupon bearing bonds, zero
coupon bonds and treasury bills). Special securities issued by the Government of India to entities like Oil
Marketing Companies, Fertilizer Companies, the Food Corporation of India, etc. (popularly called oil bonds,
fertilizer bonds and food bonds respectively) and special securities issued by the State Government under
“Ujjwal Discom Assurance Yojna (UDAY) Scheme for Operational and Financial Turnaround of Power
Distribution Companies (DISCOMs)” notified by Ministry of Power vide Office Memorandum (No
06/02/2015-NEF/FRP) dated November 20, 2015, (popularly called as UDAY Bonds). Central Government
Securities are sovereign debt obligations of the Government of India with zero-risk of default and issued on
its behalf by RBI. They form part of Government’s annual borrowing programme and are used to fund the
fiscal deficit along with other short term and long-term requirements. Such securities could be fixed rate,
fixed interest rate with put/call option, zero coupon bond, floating rate bonds, capital indexed bonds, fixed
interest security with staggered maturity payment etc.
6. Debt Instruments with special features viz. subordination to equity (absorbs losses before equity capital)
and /or convertible to equity upon trigger of a pre-specified event for loss absorption. Additional Tier I
bonds and Tier 2 bonds issued under Basel III framework are some instrument which may have above
referred special features.
7. Debt Instruments having Structured Obligation (SO rating) and / or Credit Enhancements (CE rating)
8. Para 12.10 of SEBI Master Circular dated June 27, 2024 has clarified that Non-Convertible Preference
Shares (NCPS) shall be treated as Debt instruments.
9. Certificate of Deposits (CDs) is a negotiable money market instrument issued by scheduled commercial
banks and select all-India Financial Institutions that have been permitted by the RBI to raise short term
resources. The minimum denomination of CD should be Rs. 1 Lac and in multiples of Rs. 1 Lac thereafter.
The maturity period of CDs issued by the Banks is between 7 days to one year whereas in case of FIs,
maturity is between one year to 3 years from the date of issue. CDs may be issued at a discount to face
value. Banks/ FIs can not buyback their own CDs before maturity.
10. Commercial Paper (CPs) is an unsecured negotiable money market instrument issued in the form of a
promissory note, generally issued by the corporates, primary dealers and all India Financial Institutions as
an alternative source of short-term borrowings. They are issued at a discount to the face value as may be
determined by the issuer. CP is traded in secondary market and can be freely bought and sold before
maturity.
11. Treasury Bills (T-Bills) are issued by the Government of India to meet their short-term borrowing
requirements. T-Bills are issued for maturities of 91 days, 182 days and 364 days. T-bills are issued at a
discount to their face value and redeemed at par.
12. Non-Convertible Debentures of original or initial maturity upto one year issued by corporate (including
NBFCs) by way of private placement in accordance with the provisions of master circular of RBI vide
reference no. RBI/MRD/2016-17/32 dated July 7, 2016.
13. Tri-party Repo means a repo contract where a third entity (apart from the borrower and lender), called a Tri-
Party Agent, acts as an intermediary between the two parties to the repo to facilitate services like collateral
selection, payment and settlement, custody and management during the life of the transaction.
14. Repo (Repurchase Agreement) or Reverse Repo is a transaction in which two parties agree to sell and
purchase the same security with an agreement to purchase or sell the same security at a mutually decided
future date and price. The transaction results in collateralized borrowing or lending of funds. When the seller
sells the security with an agreement to repurchase it, it is Repo transaction whereas from the perspective of
buyer who buys the security with an agreement to sell it at a later date, it is reverse repo transaction.
Invesco India Pharma and Healthcare Fund
30Presently in India, G-Secs, State Government Securities, T-Bills and Corporate Debt Securities are eligible
for Repo/Reverse Repo. The Scheme will also participate in repo in corporate debt securities.
