The Client expressly acknowledges and agrees that all investments in Securities are subject to market risks and there cannot be any assurance or guarantee that the objective of investments will be achieved, or that the returns shall always be accretive. The past performance of any product does not indicate or guarantee their/ its future performance.
  • The investment advice given by the partnered third party may not always result in a profitable position for the Client, as market movements may be at variance with anticipated trends.

  • Trading in Securities on the market may be halted because of market conditions or where the market authorities or SEBI, consider that trading in a particular security is not advisable. In addition, trading in Securities is subject to trading suspensions caused by extraordinary market volatility and under the ‘circuit filters’ prescribed by the recognized stock exchange(s). There can be no assurance that the requirements of the market, necessary to maintain the listing of any Securities will continue to be met or will remain unchanged.
  • Any changes in the trading regulations by the recognized stock exchange(s) or SEBI may prevent the investment in Securities from achieving stated objectives.
  • Different types of Securities tend to go through cycles of out-performance and under-performance in comparison to the general securities markets.
  • The SFPL shall not be liable for any loss or damage caused because of failure or delay by the issuers of the Securities to deliver Securities of issuers purchased even though payment has been made for the same or failure or delay in making payment in respect of any units of Securities of issuers sold though they may have been delivered and the Client shall indemnify, keep indemnified and hold the SFPL harmless and free from any claim in respect thereof.

    2. The performance may be affected by changes in Government policies, general levels of interest rates, and risk associated with trading volumes, liquidity, and settlement systems in equity and debt markets.
    3. Investments in debt instruments are subject to default risk and interest rates. Interest rate risk results from changes in demand and supply for money and other macroeconomic factors and creates price changes in the value of the debt instruments. Consequently, the net asset value of the Portfolio may be subject to fluctuation.
    4. Investments in debt instruments are subject to reinvestment risks as interest rates prevailing on interest or maturity due dates may differ from the original coupon of the board, which might result in the proceeds being invested at a lower rate.
    5. Use of derivatives instruments like index, futures, stock futures and options contracts, warrants, convertible, Securities, swap agreements, or any other derivative instruments, including but not restricted to, for hedging and Portfolio balancing, as permitted under the Regulations and guidelines will expose to the certain risk inherent to such derivatives. The Client is aware that the derivatives are highly leveraged instruments and even a small price movement in the underlying security could have a large impact on their value.
  • The Client agrees that the investments have been or will be made by the Client of his own volition and not under coercion or based on promises of returns or any other guarantee whatsoever. SFPL shall not be liable for any loss on account of any investment decision taken by the Client. Moreover, SFPL does not guarantee 100% accuracy of any data or analysis offered to its Clients.
  • The Services are regulated by SEBI under the Regulations. Any change in the regulatory position may result in any appropriate changes to the scope or nature of the Services, how the Services are provided, and any of the Terms set out herein.

  • The Client understands that the following specific risks may arise in the context of investment in Derivatives:
    1. Investment in futures involves daily settlement of all positions. Every day the open positions are marked to market based on the closing level of the Index. The Index may move against the position that may have been assumed leading to Marked Market Losses; sometimes these may be substantial.
    2. Under certain market conditions, it may be difficult or impossible to execute transactions. There may be insufficient liquidity owing to factors including insufficient bids or offers or suspension of trading owing to other reasons. The Client acknowledges this liquidity risk.

    4. The Exchange may impose restrictions and have absolute authority to restrict the exercise of options in specified circumstances at specified times. This reflects that there is liquidity risk involved in Investment in options.
    5. The Option writer who sells the options runs the risk of losing a substantial amount if the underlying asset does not move in the anticipated direction.
    6. Investment in Derivatives for hedging is subject to Basis risk. Basis risk is the risk that the Instrument of the hedge is not a perfect match for the Underlying. The Client acknowledges this Basis risk.
