Capital Risk:

Investments or trades are subject to market, economic, regulatory, market sentiment, and political risks. In view of these risks, the strategy may experience high volatility from time to time. The value of the investment may become worth more or less than at the time of the original investment. The investors or traders should consider these risks that may impact their capital, before investing.

Derivatives and Leverage:

The product or strategy employs derivatives, which increases leverage and may result in significant losses.

Quality Risk:

Probable risk of investing in unsustainable/weak companies. There may be a possibility that the good/strong company may become weak/unsustainable, may slip from India’s most favored company tag and become illiquid in the derivatives segment, and then be removed from the derivatives segment.

Price and Liquidity Risk:

• The product or strategy may suggest trades and investments during high-volatility market phases, as well as hold positions that may become illiquid.
• The risk of overpaying for a company can occur as a result of abnormal market behavior.
• Reduced trading volumes or increased price volatility can jeopardize proper timely exit or cost of efficient sale.

Market Risk:

The product or strategy is subject to regular market fluctuations (or volatility), and the risks of trading or investing in financial markets apply. As a result, the value of asset or investment and income from the asset or investment, may rise or fall, and you may not receive the amount originally invested. In the case of derivatives, you could lose more than you initially invested.

Management Risk:

The investment/trading analysis techniques and risk analysis done by Sampadha will not produce the desired risks or returns, and that certain policies or developments may affect the investment/trading techniques in connection with managing the product/strategy.

Total Returns Risk:

While our product or strategy aims to provide capital appreciation, a positive outcome is not guaranteed over any period and the entire capital is at risk.

Long Short Strategy Risk:

If the underlyings or strategy’s long and short exposures move unfavorably or in opposite directions at the same time, the strategy may suffer higher losses.

Short Selling Risk:

A short sale exposes the strategy or product to the risk of an increase in the price of the underlying (or derivatives); this could result in a theoretically unlimited loss.

The following are some of the additional risks associated with using derivatives strategies:

• Illiquidity and mispricing of the Futures/Options.
• Lack of opportunities.
• Derivatives’ inability to perfectly correlate with the underlying (Stocks, Indices, Assets).
• The cost of a hedge can be higher than the adverse impact of market movements during high volatile periods.
• Exposure to hedging over and above the hedging requirements can lead to losses.
• Exposure to derivatives strategies can also limit profits from a genuine investment transaction.
• The prices displayed on the screen do not have to be the same as the prices at which the execution will take place.
• In the case of option writing, the strategy’s downside could be greater than the option premium earned.
