2. External Risk Factor: Performance of the Fund is substantially dependent on the macroeconomic situationand in the capital market of Bangladesh. Political and social instability may have an adverse effect on thevalue of the Fund’s assets. Adverse natural climatic condition may impact the performance of the Fund.

3. Market Risk: The Bangladesh capital market is highly volatile and mutual fund prices and prices ofsecurities can fluctuate significantly. The Fund may lose its value or incur a sizable loss on its investmentsdue to such market volatility. Stock market trends indicate that prices of majority of all the listed securitiesmove in unpredictable direction which may affect the value of the Fund. Furthermore, there is noguarantee that the market prices of the units of the Fund will fully reflect their underlying Net AssetValues.

4. Concentration Risk: Due to a limited number of listed securities in both the DSE and CSE, it may bedifficult to invest the Fund’s assets in a widely diversified portfolio as and when required to do so. Due to avery thin secondary fixed income/debt market in Bangladesh, it would be difficult for the Fund Manager toswap between asset classes, if and when required. Limited options in the money market instruments willnarrow the opportunity of short term or temporary investments of the Fund which may adversely impactthe returns.

While securities thatare listed on the stock exchange carry lower liquidity risk, the ability to sell these investments is limited bythe overall trading volume on the stock exchanges and may lead to the Fund incurring losses till thesecurity is finally sold.

7. Investment Strategy Risk: Since the Fund will be an actively managed investment portfolio, the Fund issubject to management strategy risk. Although the AMC will apply its investment process and riskminimization techniques when making investment decisions for the Fund, there can be no guarantee thatsuch process and techniques will produce the desired outcome.
