Note: The above chart is for illustrative purposes and is intended to represent the approximate allocation percentages of the Funds as of July 31, 2022, which are subject to change. |
■ | High yield securities may be issued by less creditworthy issuers. Issuers of high yield securities may have a larger amount of outstanding debt relative to their assets than issuers of investment-grade bonds. In the event of an issuer’s bankruptcy, claims of other creditors may have priority over the claims of high yield securities holders, leaving few or no assets available to repay high yield securities holders. |
■ | Prices of high yield securities are subject to extreme price fluctuations. Adverse changes in an issuer’s industry and general economic conditions may have a greater impact on the prices of high yield securities than on other higher rated fixed-income securities. The credit rating of a high yield security does not necessarily address its market value risk. Ratings and market value may change from time to time, positively or negatively, to reflect new developments regarding the issuer. |
■ | Issuers of high yield securities may be unable to meet their interest or principal payment obligations because of an economic downturn, specific issuer developments, or the unavailability of additional financing. |
■ | High yield securities frequently have redemption features that permit an issuer to repurchase the security from a Fund or an Underlying Fund before it matures. If the issuer redeems high yield securities held by a Fund or the Underlying Fund, a Fund or an Underlying Fund may have to invest the proceeds in bonds with lower yields and may lose income. |
■ | High yield securities may be less liquid than higher rated fixed-income securities, even under normal economic conditions. There are fewer dealers in the high yield securities market, and there may be significant differences in the prices quoted for high yield securities by the dealers. Because high yield securities may be less liquid than higher rated fixed-income securities, judgment may play a greater role in valuing certain of a Fund's or an Underlying Fund's securities than is the case with securities trading in a more liquid market. |
■ | A Fund or an Underlying Fund may incur expenses to the extent necessary to seek recovery upon default or to negotiate new terms with a defaulting issuer. |
■ | Government intervention in issuers' operations or structure; |
■ | A lack of market liquidity and market efficiency; |
■ | Greater securities price volatility; |
■ | Exchange rate fluctuations and exchange controls; |
■ | Less availability of public information about issuers; |
■ | Limitations on foreign ownership of securities; |
■ | Imposition of withholding or other taxes; |
■ | Imposition of restrictions on the expatriation of the funds or other assets of an Underlying Fund; |
■ | Higher transaction and custody costs and delays in settlement procedures; |
■ | Difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations; |
■ | Lower levels of regulation of the securities markets; |
■ | Weaker accounting, disclosure and reporting requirements and the risk of being delisted from U.S. exchanges; and |
■ | Legal principles relating to corporate governance, directors’ fiduciary duties and liabilities and stockholders’ rights in markets in which the Underlying Funds may invest may differ from or may not be as extensive or protective as those that apply in the U.S. |
■ | The risk of delays in settling portfolio transactions and the risk of loss arising out of the system of share registration and custody used in Russia; |
■ | Risks in connection with the maintenance of an Underlying Fund’s portfolio securities and cash with foreign sub-custodians and securities depositories, including the risk that appropriate sub-custody arrangements will not be available to an Underlying Fund; |
■ | The risk that an Underlying Fund’s ownership rights in portfolio securities could be lost through fraud or negligence because ownership in shares of Russian companies is recorded by the companies themselves and by registrars, rather than by a central registration system; |
■ | The risk that an Underlying Fund may not be able to pursue claims on behalf of its shareholders because of the system of share registration and custody, and because Russian banking institutions and registrars are not guaranteed by the Russian government; and |
■ | The risk that various responses by other nation-states to alleged Russian cyber activity will impact Russia’s economy and Russian issuers of securities in which an Underlying Fund invests. |
■ | With respect to a foreign entity that holds the Indian assets directly, if the transferor of share or interest in such a foreign entity (along with its associated enterprises), at any time in the twelve months preceding the year of transfer neither holds the right of control or management in the foreign entity, nor holds voting power or share capital or interest exceeding 5% of the total voting power or total share capital or total interest in such foreign entity. |
■ | With respect to a foreign entity that holds the Indian assets indirectly, if the transferor of share or interest in such foreign entity (along with its associated enterprises), at any time in the twelve months preceding the year of transfer does not hold the right of control or management in relation to the foreign entity, which would entitle them to the right of control or management in the foreign entity which directly holds the Indian assets; or does not hold voting power or share capital or interest exceeding 5% of the total voting power or total share capital or total interest in the foreign entity, which results in holding the same share capital or voting power in the entity which directly holds the Indian assets. |
■ | creates rights, or obligations, which are not ordinarily created between persons dealing at arm's length; |
■ | results, directly or indirectly, in the misuse, or abuse, of the provisions of IT Act; |
■ | lacks commercial substance; or |
■ | is entered into, or carried out, by means, or in a manner, which are not ordinarily employed for bona fide purposes. |
■ | any arrangement where the aggregate tax benefit to all the parties of the arrangement in the relevant financial year does not exceed INR 30 million; |
■ | foreign institutional investors (“FIIs”) that choose not to take any benefit under any tax treaty entered with India and have invested in listed or unlisted securities with prior permission of the competent authority in accordance with the applicable regulations; |
■ | non-resident investor in an FII who has invested in an FII, directly or indirectly, by way of an offshore derivative instrument or otherwise; or |
■ | any income derived from the transfer of shares or interests made prior to April 1, 2017. |
