Risks associated with Investing in Derivatives
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 the 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.
Derivative products are specialized instruments that require investment
techniques and risk analysis different from those associated with stocks. 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 a possibility that a loss may be sustained by the
portfolio as a result of the failure of another party (usually referred to as the
“counterparty”) 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, illiquidity risk whereby the Scheme may not be able to
sell or purchase derivative quickly enough at a fair price. 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.
Disclosure relating to extent and manner of participation in derivatives
to be provided
The Scheme may take exposure to equity derivatives of the index itself or its
constituent stocks may be undertaken when equity shares are unavailable,
insufficient or for rebalancing in case of corporate actions for a temporary
period. Other than for above purposes, the Scheme will not invest in Equity
Derivatives. These investments would be for a short period of time i.e. 7 days.
Exposure towards Equity Derivatives instruments shall not exceed 20% of the
net assets of the Scheme. If the exposure falls outside the above mentioned asset
allocation pattern, the portfolio to be rebalanced by AMC within 7 days from
Draft SID of Motilal Oswal Nifty MNC ETF
28the date of said deviation. The Fund shall not write options or purchase
instruments with embedded written options. When constituent’s securities of
underlying Index are available again, derivative positions in these securities
would be unwound.
Investments Limitations and Restrictions in Derivatives
In accordance with Clause 12.25 of SEBI Master Circular SEBI/HO/IMD/IMD-
PoD-1/P/CIR/2024/90 dated June 27, 2024, the following investment
restrictions shall apply with respect to investment in Derivatives:
1. The cumulative gross exposure through equity, debt and derivative positions
will not exceed 100 % of the net assets of the scheme. However, cash or
cash equivalents with residual maturity of less than 91 days shall be treated
as not creating any exposure.
2. The Scheme shall not write options or purchase instruments with embedded
written options.
3. The total exposure related to option premium paid shall not exceed 20% of
the net assets of the scheme.
4. Exposure due to hedging positions may not be included in the above
mentioned limits subject to the following:
a. Hedging positions are the derivative positions that reduce possible
losses on an existing position in securities and till the existing position
remains.
b. Hedging positions shall not be taken for existing derivative positions.
Exposure due to such positions shall be added and treated under gross
cumulative exposure limits mentioned under Point 1.
c. Any derivative instrument used to hedge shall have the same underlying
security as the existing position being hedged.
d. The quantity of underlying associated with the derivative position taken
for hedging purposes shall not exceed the quantity of the existing
position against which hedge has been taken.
5. The scheme may enter into plain vanilla Interest Rate Swaps (IRS) for
hedging purposes. The value of the notional principal in such cases shall not
exceed the value of respective existing assets being hedged by the scheme.
In case of participation in IRS is through over the counter transactions, the
counter party shall be an entity recognized as a market maker by RBI and
exposure to a single counterparty in such transactions shall not exceed 10%
of the net assets of the scheme. However, if mutual funds are transacting in
IRS through an electronic trading platform offered by the Clearing
Corporation of India Ltd. (CCIL) and CCIL is the central counterparty for
such transactions guaranteeing settlement, the single counterparty limit of
10% shall not be applicable.
6. Exposure due to derivative positions taken for hedging purposes in excess
of the underlying position against which the hedging position has been
taken, shall be treated under gross cumulative exposure limits mentioned
under Point1.
