Risk Factors

Statutory Details
Sponsor: Tata Asset Management Private Limited
Trustee: National Pension System Trust
Investment Manager: Tata Pension Management Private Limited.

  • Securities investments are subject to market risks and there can be no assurance and no guarantee that the objectives of the Schemes managed by Tata Pension Fund will be achieved.
    • As with any investment in securities, the NAV of the units issued under the schemes(s) can go up or down depending on the factors and forces affecting the capital markets.
    • Past performance of the Sponsors / Tata Pension Fund does not indicate or guarantee the future performance of the schemes managed by the Tata Pension Fund and may not necessarily provide a basis of comparison with other investments.
    • The Sponsor is not responsible or liable for any loss resulting from the operations of the Tata Pension Fund beyond the contribution of an amount towards setting up of the Tata Pension .
    • Subscribers in the Scheme(s) are not being offered a guaranteed or assured rate of return and the actual returns of an Subscriber will be based on the actual NAV which may go up or down depending on the market conditions
    • Investments made by a subscriber (NRIs and OCIs) in foreign currency in the scheme(s) managed by Tata Pension Fund are subject to the risk of fluctuation in the value of the Rupee.
    • Subscribers may invest in the schemes managed by Tata Pension Fund and acquire a substantial portion of the scheme(s) units.
    • In case of Fixed Income Investment (Government Securities), changes, in the prevailing rates of interest will likely affect the value of the scheme(s) holdings managed by Tata Pension and thus the value of the Scheme(s') Units. Increased rates of interest, which frequently accompany inflation and /or a growing economy, are likely to have a negative effect on the value of the Units. The value of securities held by a Scheme(s) managed by Tata Pension Fund generally will vary inversely with changes in prevailing interest rates.
    • As with debt instruments, changes in interest rate may affect the net asset value of the schemes managed by Tata Pension Fund as the prices of instruments generally increase as interest rates decline and generally decrease as interest rates rise. Prices of long-term securities generally fluctuate more in response to interest rate changes than do short-term securities. Indian debt and government securities markets can be volatile leading to the possibility of price movements up or down in fixed income securities and thereby to possible movements in the NAV.
    • Credit risk or Default risk refers to the risk that an issuer of a fixed income security may default (i.e. the issuer will be unable to make timely principal and interest payments on the security). Because of this risk corporate debentures are sold at a higher yield above those offered on Government Securities which are sovereign obligations and free of credit risk. Normally, the value of a fixed income security will fluctuate depending upon the changes in the perceived level of credit risk as well as any actual event of default. The greater the credit risk, the greater the yield required for someone to be compensated for the increased risk.
    • The Equity scheme(s) managed by Tata Pension Fund may invest in derivative instruments which carry a high risk return ratio. In case of investments in derivative instruments, the risk/reward would be the same as investments in portfolio of equity representing an index. However, there may be a cost attached to buying an index future.. Further there could be an element of settlement risk, which could be different from the risk in settling physical securities and there is a risk attached since the Indian market for derivative instruments is untried and untested
    • Tracking errors are inherent in any index fund and such errors may cause the scheme to generate returns which are not in line with the performance of the NSE Nifty 50 Index / BSE SENSEX Index or one or more securities covered by / included in the NSE Nifty 50 Index / BSE SENSEX Index. To the extent that some assets/ funds may be deployed in Money Market Operations, the Scheme will be subject to risks relating to such operations and may also contribute to tracking errors. The deviation of the NAV of the respective plan from the SENSEX or Nifty is expected to be in the range of 2-3% per annum. However it may so be that the actual tracking error can be higher or lower than the range given. In case of investments in derivative instruments as provided by PFRDA, the risk/reward would be the same as investments in portfolio of shares representing an index. However, there may be a cost attached to buying an index future. Further, there could be an element of settlement risk, which could be different from the risk in settling physical shares and there is a risk attached to the liquidity and the depth of the index futures market as it is an untested market.
    • Basis Risk (Interest Rate Movement): During the life of floating rate security or a swap the underlying benchmark index may be com e less active and may not capture the actual movement in interest rates or at times the benchmark may cease to exist. These type of events may result in loss of value in the portfolio. Spread Risk: In a floating rate security the coupon is expressed in terms of a spread or mark up over the benchmark rate. However depending upon the market conditions the spreads may move adversely or favourably leading to fluctuation in NAV. In case of downward movement of interest rates, floating rate debt instruments will give a lower return than fixed rate debt instruments.
    • Risks associated with Derivatives products are specialised instruments that require investment techniques and risk analysis different from those associated with stocks and bonds. Derivatives require the maintenance of adequate controls to monitor the transactions entered into, the ability to assess the risk that a derivative add to the portfolio and the ability to forecast price of securities being hedged and 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 mis-pricing or improper valuation of derivatives and the inability of derivatives to correlate perfectly with underlying assets, rates and indices.
    • Investment Risks
      For Non-equity schemes:
      The value of, and income from, an investment in the schemes managed by Tata Pension Fund can decrease as well as increase, depending on a variety of factors which may affect the values and income generated by the Scheme's portfolio of securities. The returns of the Scheme's investments are based on the current yields of the securities, which may be affected generally by factors affecting capital markets such as price and volume, volatility in the stock markets, interest rates, currency exchange rates, foreign investment, changes in Government and Reserve Bank of India policy, taxation, political, economic or other developments, closure of the Stock Exchanges etc. Subscribers should understand that the investment choice selected, in line with prevailing market conditions, is only a hypothetical example as all investments involve risk and there is no assurance that the Schemes managed by Tata Pension Fund investment objective will be attained
      Different types of securities in which the schemes managed by Tata Pension Fund would invest carry different levels and types of risk. Accordingly, the scheme's risk may increase or decrease depending upon its investment pattern. e.g. corporate bonds carry a higher amount of risk than Government securities. Further even among corporate bonds, bonds which are AAA rated are comparatively less risky than bonds which are AA rated.

      For Equity schemes:
      The Schemes will invest in Top 200 Companies in terms of full market capitalisation. which will be updated by NPS Trust every 6 months. However, the growth associated with equities is generally high as also the erosion in the value of the investments/portfolio in the case of the capital markets passing through a bearish phase is a distinct possibility. The NAV of the scheme is largely dependent on the performance of the companies and the sectors wherein the investment has been made.
      The scheme may use techniques and instruments for efficient portfolio management and to attempt to hedge or reduce the risk of such fluctuations. However these techniques and instruments if imperfectly used have the risk of the scheme incurring losses due to mismatches particularly in a volatile market. The Fund's ability to use these techniques may be limited by market conditions, regulatory limits and tax considerations (if any)..

      Risk Associated with Alternate Asset Class Scheme may invest in domestic securitized debt such as asset backed securities (ABS) or mortgage backed securities (MBS). Asset Backed Securities (ABS) are securitized debts where the underlying assets are receivables arising from automobile loans, personal loans, loans against consumer durables, etc. Mortgage backed securities (MBS) are securitized debts where the underlying assets are receivables arising from loans backed by mortgage of residential / commercial properties. 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. Risks in using derivatives include the risk of default of counter party, mis-pricing and the inability of derivatives to correlate perfectly with underlying assets, rates and indices.
