Portfolio disclosure requires a distinction between liquidity exposure and listed shares. TREPS accounted for 2.68%, making it the largest overall disclosed entry, but TREPS is a short-term money-market exposure rather than an equity stock. TD Power Systems was the largest disclosed listed equity holding at 1.88%, followed by BHEL at 1.77%, HDFC Bank at 1.75% and Apar Industries at 1.74%. The five largest displayed entries, including TREPS, represented 9.82% of the portfolio.

Risk statistics on the page showed standard deviation at 5.58, beta at 0.86, alpha at 1.53 and the Sharpe ratio at 0.54. The relatively dispersed weights among the largest displayed positions also show that no individual listed share represented an especially large portion of the disclosed portfolio snapshot. These portfolio and risk figures are supporting fund data and should not be interpreted as forecasts of future NAV movements.
