The portfolio disclosure requires a distinction between liquidity exposure and listed shares. TREPS was the largest overall displayed allocation at 2.68%; it is a short-term money-market exposure rather than an equity stock. TD Power Systems was the largest 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.

The scheme's displayed risk statistics included an alpha of 1.53, standard deviation of 5.58, beta of 0.86 and Sharpe ratio of 0.54. The relatively spread-out weights among the largest disclosed positions also show that no single listed company dominated the top of the disclosed portfolio snapshot.

Historical returns, risk ratios and portfolio composition may change over time and should not be treated as forecasts of subsequent NAV performance.
