Investors must realize that all investments in mutual Funds and securities are subject to
market risks. Our target return / dividend range cannot be guaranteed and it should be
clearly understood that the portfolio of the Fund is subject to market price fluctuations
and other risks inherent in all such investments. The risks emanate from various factors
that include, but are not limited to:
(1) Government Regulation Risk – Government policies or regulations are more prevalent
in some securities and financial instruments than in others. Funds that invest in such
securities may be affected due to change in these regulations or policies, which directly or
indirectly affect the structure of the security and/or in extreme cases a governmental or
court order could restrain payment of capital, principal or income.
(2) Credit Risk - Credit Risk comprises Default Risk and Credit Spread Risk. Each can
have negative impact on the value of the income and money market instruments including
Sukuks etc:
(3) Default Risk - The risk that the issuer of the security will not be able to pay the
obligation, either on time or at all;
(4) Credit Spread Risk - The risk that there may be an increase in the difference between the
return/markup rate of any issuer's security and the return/markup rate of a risk free
security. The difference between this return/mark up rates is called a "credit spread".
Credit spreads are based on macroeconomic events in the domestic or global financial
13
Offering Document – ALH DDF
markets. An increase in credit spread will decrease the value of income and including
money market instruments
(5) Price Risk - The price risk is defined as when the value of the Fund, due to its holdings in
such securities rises and falls as a result of change in market rates.
(6) Liquidity Risk – Liquidity risk is the possibility of deterioration in the price of a security
in the Fund when it is offered for sale in the secondary market.
(7) Settlement Risk – At times, the Fund may encounter settlement risk in purchasing /
investing and maturing/ selling its investments which may affect the Fund’s performance
etc.
(8) Reinvestment Rate Risk –In a declining interest/ markup rate economic environment,
there is a risk that maturing securities or coupon payments will be reinvested at lower
rates, which shall reduce the return of the Fund compared to return earned in the
preceding quarters.
(9) Events Risk - There may be adjustments to the performance of the Fund due to events
including but not limited to, natural calamities, market disruptions, mergers,
nationalization, insolvency and changes in tax law.
(10) Redemption Risk - There may be special circumstances in which the redemption of
Units may be suspended or the redemption payment may not occur within six working
days of receiving a request for redemption from the investor.
Distribution Risk – Dividends distribution may also be liable to tax because the distributions are
made out of the profits earned by fund and not out of the profits earned by each unit holder. Unit
holders who invest in a fund before distribution of dividends may be liable to pay tax even though
they may not have earned any gain on their investment as return of capital to investors upon
distribution is also taxable.Shariah non-compliance Risk - The risk associated with employing
funds in investments that are not compliant with Shariah.
2.4.1 There may be times when a portion of the investment portfolio of the Scheme is not
compliant either with the investment policy or the minimum investment criteria of the
assigned ‘category’. This non-compliance may be due to various reasons including,
adverse market conditions, liquidity constraints or investment – specific issues. Investors
