Revised Sector Representation

In our ongoing commitment to provide shareholders with a clear understanding of our investment strategies, we have updated our sector classification approach. We have transitioned from the traditional GICS model to a proprietary model that aligns with our benchmark and offers greater transparency. Previously, the GICS model categorized investments into 12 sectors plus cash. Our new approach expands this by adding 5 additional sectors that we consider crucial for our portfolio and reflective of significant structural changes in India.

 

 

The newly detailed sectors are:
