Code of Conduct

Statement of General Policy

This Code of Ethics (“Code”) has been adopted by Wright Research and is designed to comply with Securities and Exchange Board of India (Investment Advisers) Regulations, 2013 [sub-regulation (9) of regulation 15]

This Code establishes rules of conduct for all employees of Wright Research and is designed to, among other things, govern personal securities trading activities in the accounts of employees, immediate family/household accounts and accounts in which an employee has a beneficial interest. The Code is based upon the principle that Wright Research andits employees owe a fiduciary duty to Wright Research's clients to conduct their affairs, including their personal securities transactions, in such a manner as to avoid (i) serving their own personal interests ahead of clients, (ii) taking inappropriate advantage of their position with the firm and (iii) any actual or potential conflicts of interest or any abuse of their position of trust and responsibility.

The Code is designed to ensure that the high ethical standards long maintained by Wright Research continue to be applied. The purpose of the Code is to preclude activities which may lead to or give the appearance of conflicts of interest, insider trading and other forms of prohibited or unethical business conduct. The excellent name and reputation of our firm continues to be a direct reflection of the conduct of each employee.

Pursuant to the Investment Advisers Regulation, both Wright Research and its employees are prohibited from engaging in fraudulent, deceptive or manipulative conduct. Compliance with this section involves more than acting with honesty and good faith alone. It means that the Wright Research has an affirmative duty of utmost good faith to act solely in the best interest of its clients.

Wright Research and its employees are subject to the following specific fiduciary obligations when dealing with clients:

The duty to have a reasonable, independent basis for the investment advice provided;
The duty to obtain best execution for a client’s transactions where the Firm is in a position to direct brokerage transactions for the client;
The duty to ensure that investment advice is suitable to meeting the client’s individual objectives, needs and circumstances; and
A duty to be loyal to clients.

In meeting its fiduciary responsibilities to its clients, Wright Research expects every employee to demonstrate the highest standards of ethical conduct for continued employment with Wright Research. Strict compliance with the provisions of the Code shall be considered a basic condition of employment with Wright Research. Wright Research's reputation for fair and honest dealing with its clients has taken considerable time to build. This standing could be seriously damaged as the result of even a single securities transaction being considered questionable in light of the fiduciary duty owed to our clients. Employees are urged to seek the advice of Sonam Srivastava, the Investment Advisor, for any questions about the Code or the application of the Code to their individual circumstances. Employees should also understand that a material breach of the provisions of the Code may constitute grounds for disciplinary action, including termination of employment with Wright Research.

The provisions of the Code are not all-inclusive. Rather, they are intended as a guide for employees of Wright Research in their conduct. In those situations where an employee may be uncertain as to the intent or purpose of the Code, he/she is advised to consult with Sonam Srivastava. Sonam Srivastava may grant exceptions to certain provisions contained in the Code only in those situations when it is clear beyond dispute that the interests of our clientswill not be adversely affected or compromised. All questions arising in connection with personal securities trading should be resolved in favor of the client even at the expense of the interests of employees.

Accredited Investors

Accredited Investor Framework under SEBI (Portfolio Managers) Regulations, 2020

Background

The concept of class of investors (typically termed as accredited investors or qualified investors or professional investors) who have an understanding of various financial products and the risks- returns associated with them and are able to take informed decisions regarding their investments is recognized globally by many securities and financial market regulators.

Further, they are also considered to be capable of dealing in relatively riskier investment products due to their financial capacity and ability to absorb possible financial losses. The global regulators reckoned that these investors are sophisticated enough to not require extensive regulatory protection, and therefore, issuers of securities and providers of investment products/ services are offered a regulation-light regime, to offer their products/services to accredited investors.

Based on the above, it was envisaged by SEBI to introduce the concept of Accredited Investors in India with uniform eligibility criteria, accompanied by a flexible regulatory framework for the various securities market products and services may be beneficial to the development and growth of the Indian securities market.

Accordingly, SEBI (Portfolio Managers) Regulations, 2020 on August 03, 2021 and SEBI circular SEBI/HO/IMD/IMD-I/DF9/P/CIR/2021/620 dated August 26, 2021, introduced the concept of Accredited Investors and modalities for implementation of the framework for Accredited Investors.

Anti Money Laundering

Introduction

The Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 (PMLA) has been brought into force with effect from 1st July, 2005. Necessary Notifications /Rules under the said Act have been published in the Gazette of India on 1stJuly 2005 by the Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance, Government of India.

As per PMLA, every banking company, financial institution (which includes Chit Fund company, a co-operative bank, a housing finance institution and non-banking financial company) and Intermediary (which includes stock-broker, sub-broker, share transfer agent, banker to an issue, trustee to a trust deed, registrar to an issue, merchant banker, underwriter, Portfolio Manager, Investment adviser and any other intermediary Associated with securities market and registered under section 12 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992) shall have to maintain a cord of all the transactions, the nature and value of which has been prescribed in the Rules notified under the PMLA. For the purpose of PMLA, transactions include:

All cash transactions of the value of more than Rs.10 lakhs or its equivalent in foreign currency.
All series of cash transactions integrally connected to each other, which have been valued below Rs.10 lakhs or its equivalent in foreign currency, such series of transactions within one calendar month.
All suspicious transactions whether or not made in cash and including inter-alia, credits or debits into from any non monetary account such as Demat account, security account maintained by the registered intermediary.

For the purpose of suspicious transactions reporting apart from `transactions integrally Connected', `transactions remotely connected or related need to be considered.

“Suspicions Transactions” means a transaction whether or not made in cash which to a person acting in good faith –

Gives rise to a reasonable ground of suspicion that it may involve the Proceeds of crime; or

Appears to be made in circumstances of unusual or unjustified complexity; or
Appears to have no economic rationale or bonafide purpose

The Anti-Money Laundering Guidelines provides a general background on the subjects of money laundering and terrorist financing in India and provides guidance on the practical implications of the PMLA. The PMLA Guidelines sets out the steps that a registered intermediary and any of its representatives need to implement to discourage and identify any money laundering or terrorist financing activities.

Objective

The main objectives of the PMLA are as follows:

To have a proper Customer Due Diligence (CDD) process before registering clients.
To monitor / maintain records of all cash transactions of the value of more than Rs.10 lacs.
To maintain records of all series of integrally connected cash transactions within one calendar month.
To monitor and report suspicious transactions.
To discourage and identify money laundering or terrorist financing activities.
To take adequate and appropriate measures to follow the spirit of the PMLA.

Guidelines

Brokers being SEBI registered intermediaries have to comply with the spirit of anti money laundering provisions. To comply with PMLA, the following three specific parameters should be observed, which are related to the overall `Client Due Diligence Process':

Policy for acceptance of clients;
Procedure for identifying the clients;
Transaction monitoring and reporting especially Suspicious Transactions Reporting (STR).

Client / Customer Due Diligence (CDD):

For the purpose of CDD, Broker is dealing with institutional clients. According to SEBI regulation / rules Institutional clients includes:

Banks
Mutual Funds
Foreign Institutional Investors (FII)
Financial Institutions
Insurance Companies

According to SEBI, all trades done by institutional clients should be settled through Clearing House. In clearing house trade, trades are settled by the Broker and custodian of the respective client.

In view of above, following steps to be taken to comply with `Customer Due Diligence' process before registering as client:

Obtain basic details for the purpose of complying with KYC norms prescribed by SEBI.
List of Directors and authorized person to trade on behalf of client and copy of Board resolution to that effect.
Obtain SEBI registration number.
Custodian details with whom clients trade to be settled.
Obtain contact details of client front / back office and contact person.
Obtain PAN NO. (Income Tax number).
Obtain risk Disclosure Document duly executed by prospective client as prescribed by SEBI.

The client / customer due diligence (CDD) measures comprise the following:

Client Information & Identity:

Before registering a client, obtain antecedent information. Verify independently information submitted by client but not limited to his identity, registered office address, correspondence address, contact details, occupation, Promoters /Directors, source of income, experience in securities market, PAN no. SEBI Registration No. etc. Obtain as many as information. Generally Institutional clients are recognized at global level. We need to verify clients identity and origin using services of Bloomberg, Reuters, internet services or any other reliable, independent source documents, data or information. After verifying information, registration form along with other supporting documents should be approved by the Compliance Officer designated for verification.

Beneficial Ownership and control:

After completing the registration process, the client account should be verified by an independent employee to check the actual beneficial ownership and control of the particular account. We need to obtain the details with respect to Shareholders, Promoters from the client and it has to be verified independently. In this process we should find out who is authorized to operate the client's account and who is ultimately controlling the account. Also verify the sources of funds for funding the transaction. We also have to take care at the time of settlement regarding the nature of transaction, movement / source of transaction, etc. Periodically ask for client's financial details to determine the genuineness of transaction

The “Beneficial Owner” is the natural person or persons who ultimately own, control or influence a client and / or persons on whose behalf a transaction is being conducted. It also incorporates those persons who exercise ultimate effective control over a legal person or arrangement.

Ongoing due diligence and scrutiny:

Periodically we need to conduct due diligence and scrutiny of client's transactions and accounts to ensure that transactions are being conducted in knowledge, to find out the risk profile, source of funds, etc. At regular interval, ongoing due diligence and scrutiny need to be conduct i.e. perform ongoing scrutiny of the transactions and account throughout the course of the business relationship to ensure that the transactions being conducted are consistent with the Organization’s knowledge of the client, its business and risk profile, taking into account, where necessary, the customer's source of funds.

Policy for acceptance of clients:

Before registering client, we need to identify the following details of the prospective client:

Ascertain the category of clients before registration as Client. (i.e. Individual or Corporate, FII, Mutual Fund, PMS or other).
Obtain all necessary documents for registration. (Photograph, Photo Identity, Proof of Address, copy of PAN, etc.). Documents should be verified with original and same to be counter signed by Authorized representative of the organization.
Obtain a copy of Bank Statement for ascertaining the mode of payment of transaction.
Registration of clients to be made on the physical presence of the prospective client.
Obtain antecedent details of the prospective client.
Ensure that new registration is to be made in clients name only.
Ensure that the account should not open in a fictitious or benami name.
Client's occupation, sources of income.
Determine the parameter to categories of client as per risk.
Obtain financial statements for at least for the last 2 years duly certified by Chartered Accountants.
Ensure that all details of KYC form should be complete in all respect Incomplete KYC should not accept by organization.
Organization should not register clients in case any kind of doubt has been raised by the client (i.e. unable to submit required form/proof, any suspicious behavior noticed at the time of registration, etc.)
Account should not open where the organization cannot apply Customer Due Diligence / KYC policies.
The client's account should be scrutinized regularly for determining the nature of the transaction taking place. In case of any suspicious transaction, the account should be freezer or securities / money should not be delivered to client.

The following safeguards are to be followed while accepting the clients:

The client account should not be opened in a fictitious / benami name or on an Anonymous basis.
Risk perception of the client need to defined having regard to :

Client's' location (registered office address, correspondence addresses and Other addresses if applicable);
Nature of business activity, tracing turnover etc. and
Manner of making payment for transactions undertaken.

The parameters of clients into low, medium and high risk should be classified. Clients of special category (as given below) may be classified as higher risk and higher degree of due diligence and regular update of KYC profile should be performed.

Documentation like KYC, Broker-client agreement and Risk Disclosure Document and other information from different category of client prescribed by SEBI and any other regulatory authority to be collected depending on perceived risk and having regard to the requirement to the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002,guidelines issued by RBI and SEBI from time to time.

Ensure that a client account is not opened where the organization is unable to apply appropriate client's due diligence measures / KYC policies. This may be applicable in cases where it is not possible to ascertain the identity of the client, information provided to the organization is suspected to be non-genuine, perceived non-co-operation of the client in providing full and complete information. Discontinue to do business with such a person and file a suspicious activity report.

We can also evaluate whether there is suspicious trading in determining whether to freeze or close the account. Should be cautious to ensure that it does not return securities or money that may be from suspicious trades. However, we can consult the relevant authorities in determining what action should be taken when it suspects suspicious trading.

We need to comply with adequate formalities when a client is permitted to act on behalf of another person / entity. It should be clearly specified the manner in which the account should be operated, transaction limits for the operation, additional authority required for transactions exceeding a specified quantity /value and other appropriate details. The rights and responsibilities of both the persons (i.e. the agent-client registered with Broker, as well as the person on whose behalf the agent is acting) should be clearly laid down. Adequate verification of a person's authority to act on behalf of the customer should be carried out.

Necessary checks and balances to be put in place before opening an account so as to ensure that the identity of the client does not match with any person having known criminal background or is not banned in any other manner, whether in terms of criminal or civil proceedings by any enforcement agency worldwide.

Acceptance of clients through Risk-Based Approach:

The clients may be of a higher or lower risk category depending on circumstances such as the customer's background, type of business relationship or transaction etc. We should apply each of the clients due diligence measures on a risk sensitive basis. We should adopt an enhanced customer due diligence process for higher risk categories of customers. Conversely, a simplified customer due diligence process may be adopted for lower risk categories of customers. In line with the risk-based approach, we should obtain the type and amount of identification information and documents necessarily dependent on the risk category of a particular customer.

Clients of special category (CSC):

CSC clients include the following:

Non-resident clients (NRI);
High Net worth clients (HNI)
Trust, Charities, NGOs and organizations receiving donations.
Companies having close family shareholdings or beneficial ownership.
Politically exposed persons (PEP) of foreign origin
Current /Former Head of State, Current or Former Senior High profile politicians and connected persons (immediate family, close advisors and companies in which such individuals have interest or significant influence);
Companies offering foreign exchange offerings;
Clients in high risk countries (where existence / effectiveness of money laundering controls is suspect, where there is unusual banking secrecy. Countries active in narcotics production, Countries where corruption (as per Transparency International Corruption Perception Index) is highly prevalent, Countries against which government sanctions are applied, Countries reputed to be any of the following -- Havens / sponsors of international terrorism, offshore financial centers, tax havens, countries where fraud is highly prevalent;
Non-face to face clients;
Clients with dubious reputation as per public information available etc.

The above mentioned list is only illustrative and we should exercise independent judgment to ascertain whether new clients should be classified as CSC or not.

Client identification procedure:

To follow the Client Identification procedure we need to follow the following

Factors:

The `Know Your Client' (KYC) policy should be strictly observed with respect to the client identification procedures which need to be carried out at different states i.e. while establishing the Broker – client relationship, while carrying out transactions for the client or when have any doubts regarding the veracity or the adequacy of previously obtained client identification data.
The client should be identified by using reliable sources including documents / information. Obtain adequate information to satisfactorily establish the identity of each new client and the purpose of the intended nature of the relationship.
The information should be adequate enough to satisfy competent authorities (regulatory / enforcement authorities) in future that due diligence was observed in compliance with the Guidelines. Each original document should be seen prior to acceptance of a copy and it is verified and duly attested.
Failure by prospective clients to provide satisfactory evidence of identity should be noted and reported to the higher authority within the organization.
SEBI has prescribed the minimum requirements relating to KYC for certain classes of the registered intermediaries from time to time. Taking into account the basic principles enshrined in the KYC norms, internal guidelines should be followed in dealing with clients and legal requirements as per the established practices. Also maintain continuous familiarity and follow-up where it notices inconsistencies in the information provided by the client. The principles enshrined in the PML Act, 2002 as well as the SEBI Act, 1992 should be followed, so that Company is aware of the clients on whose behalf it is dealing

Record Keeping:

For the purpose of the record keeping provision, we should ensure compliance with the record keeping requirements contained in the SEBI Act, 1992, Rules and Regulations made there-under, PLM act, 2002 as well as other relevant legislation, Rules, Regulations, Exchange Bye-laws and Circulars.

Records to be maintained should be sufficient to permit reconstruction of individual transactions (including the amounts and type of currencies involved, if any) so as to provide, if necessary, evidence for prosecution of criminal behavior.

Should there be any suspected drug related or other laundered money or terrorist property, the competent investigating authorities would need to trace through the audit trail for reconstructing the financial profile of the suspect's account. To enable this reconstruction, organizations should retain the following information for the accounts of their customers in order to maintain a satisfactory audit trail.

The beneficial owner of the account;
The volume of the funds flowing through the account; and
For selected transactions:

The origin of the funds;
The form in which the funds were offered or withdrawn, e.g cash, cheques, etc;
The identity of the person undertaking the transaction;
the destination of the funds;
The form of instruction and authority.

Organization should ensure that all client and transaction records and information are made available on a timely basis to the competent investigating authorities.

Retention of Records:

The following document retention terms should be observed:

All necessary records on transactions, both domestic and international, should be Maintained at least for the minimum period of ten years (10) from the date of Cessation of the transaction.
Records on customer identification (e.g. copies or records of official identification documents like passports, identity cards, driving licenses or similar documents), account files and business correspondence should also be kept for the ten years from the date of cessation of the transaction.
Records shall be maintained in hard and soft copies.

In situations where the records relate to on-going investigation or transactions, which Have been the subject of a suspicious transaction reporting, they should be retained until it is confirmed that the case has been closed.

Monitoring of transactions:

Regular monitoring of transactions is required for ensuring effectiveness of the Anti Money laundering procedures.

Special attention required to all complex, unusually large transactions / patterns which Appear to have no economic purpose. Internal threshold limits to specify for each class of client's accounts and pay special attention to the transaction, which exceeds these limits.

The past performance does not indicate its future performance. There is no assurance that past performances will be repeated. Investors are not being offered any guaranteed or indicative returns.
As with any investment in securities, the NAV of the portfolio can go up or down depending upon the factors and forces affecting the capital market.
The performance of the investments/products may be affected by changes in Government policies, general levels of interest rates and risks associated with trading volumes, liquidity and settlement systems in equity and debt markets.
Investments in the products which the Clients have opted are subject to wide range of risks which inter alia also include but not limited to economic slow down, volatility & illiquidity of the stocks, poor corporate performance, economic policies, changes of Government and its policies, acts of God, acts of war, civil disturbance, sovereign action and /or such other acts/ circumstance beyond the control of WR or any of its fellow subsidiaries.
The names of the products/nature of investments do not in any manner indicate their prospects or returns. The performance in the equity products may be adversely affected by the performance of individual companies, changes in the market place and industry specific and macro-economic factors.
Investments in debt instruments and other fixed income securities are subject to default risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. Interest rate risk results from changes in demand and supply for money and other macroeconomic factors and creates price changes in the value of the debt instruments. Consequently, the NAV of the portfolio may be subject to the fluctuation.
Investments in debt instruments are subject to reinvestment risks as interest rates prevailing on interest amount or maturity due dates may differ from the original coupon of the bond, which might result in the proceeds being invested at a lower rate.
The product may invest in non-publicly offered debt securities and unlisted equities. This may expose the investment/product to liquidity risks.
Engaging in securities lending is subject to risks related to fluctuations in collateral value / settlement/ liquidity/counter party.
The product may use derivatives instruments like index futures, stock futures and options contracts, warrants, convertible securities, swap agreements or any other derivative instruments. Usage of derivatives will expose portfolio to certain risk inherent to such derivatives.
The use of derivative requires a high degree of skill, diligence and expertise. Thus, derivatives are highly leveraged instruments. Small price movement in the underlying security could have a large impact on their value. 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.
The NAV may be affected by changes in settlement periods and transfer procedures.
The Investment Advisor may, considering the overall level of risk of the portfolio, advice for investment in lower rated/unrated securities offering higher yield. This may increase the risk of the portfolio. Such investments shall be subject to the scope of investments as laid down in the Agreement.

Return Calculation - RIA Strategies

Each portfolio’s return is calculated from its Index value. To understand how index values are calculated and used to derive portfolio returns, please refer to following sections

What is an index value?

An index value allows the user to measure the change in the value of a portfolio relative to its value on a historical date. For example, let's assume that portfolio A was created on 1st Jan 2020. The index value of A on that day was 100. Suppose the index value of the portfolio on 31st March 2021 was 127. We can calculate the absolute return of A between the above-mentioned dates as (127/100)-1 * 100 = 27%.

How are portfolio index values calculated?

Lets understand this with an example. Portfolio TEST was created on 1st Jan 2014. The creator of the portfolio will rebalance TEST once in 3 months.Let's call the first version of TEST as TEST 1.0. The stocks and weights in TEST 1.0 portfolio are as below:

Stocks	Weights
A	30%
B	20%
C	15%
D	35%

To calculate the index values, the portfolio creation date, constituents of the portfolio and their respective weights are required. On the date of creation of the portfolio, the index value is set to 100. This can also be understood as a hypothetical Rs.100 investment in TEST 1.0. The calculation on 1st Jan 2014 is as below:

Index value: 100

Date	Weight				Closing price				No. of shares				Index Value
	A	B	C	D	A	B	C	D	A	B	C	D
1-Jan-14	30%	20%	15%	35%	176.5	101.4	105.9	52.1	0.17	0.20	0.14	0.67	100.00
2-Jan-14	30%	20%	15%	35%	174.3	105.8	103.3	51.5	0.17	0.20	0.14	0.67	99.67
3-Jan-14	30%	20%	15%	35%	172.0	104.2	100.9	50.9	0.17	0.20	0.14	0.67	98.22
4-Jan-14	30%	20%	15%	35%	172.0	104.2	100.9	50.9	0.17	0.20	0.14	0.67	98.22
5-Jan-14	30%	20%	15%	35%	172.0	104.2	100.9	50.9	0.17	0.20	0.14	0.67	98.22
6-Jan-14	30%	20%	15%	35%	168.8	103.9	101.2	51.1	0.17	0.20	0.14	0.67	97.86

On 1st Jan 2014, the portfolio contained 4 stocks A, B, C and D. The weights of these stocks were 30%, 20%, 15% and 35% respectively. The closing prices of the stocks on that day is used to calculate the hypothetical number of shares that can be bought, assuming Rs.100 is invested in the portfolio. “100 * weight of the stock” will give the amount of money that can be invested in a specific stock. This number is divided by the closing price of the stock to derive the number of shares of that stock. Finally, by multiplying the number of shares of each stock with the stock’s closing price and adding the output for all the stocks, the index value is derived. Of course on the first day, the index value is the same as the amount invested, i.e 100.The number of shares of each stock will remain the same till the next rebalance date. Each trading day, the closing stock prices are multiplied by the number of shares. The sum of these data points will be the index value for that specific date.

How does rebalance affect the index value?

Rebalancing is the process of reviewing the stocks and their respective weights to ensure that it remains true to the theme or strategy of the portfolio.Continuing with the same example, let's assume The TEST portfolio gets rebalanced on 31st March 2014. The index values leading upto the rebalance date were as below:

Date	Weight				Closing price				No. of shares				Index Value
	A	B	C	D	A	B	C	D	A	B	C	D
26-Mar-14	30%	20%	15%	35%	176.8	100.7	88.0	65.8	0.17	0.20	0.14	0.67	106.54
27-Mar-14	30%	20%	15%	35%	183.7	100.1	89.5	67.5	0.17	0.20	0.14	0.67	108.97
28-Mar-14	30%	20%	15%	35%	190.2	100.3	92.7	68.8	0.17	0.20	0.14	0.67	111.39
29-Mar-14	30%	20%	15%	35%	190.2	100.3	92.7	68.8	0.17	0.20	0.14	0.67	111.39
30-Mar-14	30%	20%	15%	35%	190.2	100.3	92.7	68.8	0.17	0.20	0.14	0.67	111.39
31-Mar-14	30%	20%	15%	35%	191.8	100.3	91.8	70.4	0.17	0.20	0.14	0.67	112.65

In the rebalance, the weights of both A and D were reduced and a new stock E was added to the portfolio. Let’s call this new portfolio TEST 2.0. Post rebalance, the stocks and their corresponding weights were as below:

Stocks	Weights
A	20%
B	20%
C	15%
D	30%
E	15%

On 31st March, the Rs.100 that was initially invested in the portfolio had grown to Rs.112.65. The latter amount is the one that should be reinvested.A simple of way calculating the new number of shares is by multiplying 112.65 * weight of stocks in the rebalanced portfolio and dividing the output by closing price of the individual stocks. Continuing the earlier process, these new numbers of shares can be multiplied by the daily close price of respective stocks and their summation could be the new index value. The index values calculated using this method will be as below:

Index value: 112.65

Date	Weight					Closing price					No. of shares					Index Value

However this methodology has limitations. Investors will be able to execute the trade only after the market opens the next day. It is unlikely that these trades will be executed at the previous day's close price. If the price of securities that the investor is buying goes up and the price of securities that the investor is selling goes down, then the investor's portfolio will underperform the our portfolio. If the scenario is reversed and the investor is able to buy at a lower price and sell at a higher price, then his/her portfolio will outperform the our portfolio. In order to lessen the impact of this issue and ensure that the investor's returns are in line with that of the our portfolio, we use the following methodology.The legend mentioned below should help readers follow the methodology.

T0 : Rebalance date, 31st March 2014 in this instance

T1 : Calendar day after rebalance date, 1st April 2014

V0 : portfolio version before rebalance, TEST 1.0

V1 : portfolio version after rebalance, TEST 2.0

OHLC average : Average of Open, High, Low and Close price of the stock on a particular trading day

Calculating intermediate index value on T1
Intermediate index value = Sum of (No. of shares of each stock in V0 * OHLC average of the respective stock on T1)

Date	Weight				OHLC average price				No. of shares				Index Value
	A	B	C	D	A	B	C	D	A	B	C	D
1-Apr-14	30%	20%	15%	35%	190.6	104.0	92.8	69.5	0.17	0.20	0.14	0.67	112.68

Calculating the new number of shares for stocks in V1
New no. of shares = (Intermediate index value * weight of the individual stock in V1) / OHLC average of the respective stock on T1
Index value: 112.68

Date	Weight					OHLC average price					No. of shares
	A	B	C	D	E	A	B	C	D	E	A	B	C	D	E
1-Apr-14	20%	20%	15%	30%	15%	190.6	104.0	92.8	69.5	371.1	0.12	0.22	0.18	0.49	0.05

Calculating the final index value on T1
Final index value = Sum of (No. of shares of each stock in V1 * Closing price of the respective stock on T1)Again, the number of shares of each stock will remain the same till the next rebalance date. As earlier, each trading day the closing stock prices are multiplied by the number of shares. The sum of these data points will be the index value for that specific date.The index values calculated using the improved method will be as below:

Date	Weight					Closing price					No. of shares					Index Value
	A	B	C	D	E	A	B	C	D	E	A	B	C	D	E

Please note that portfolio returns were impacted when the above updated methodology wrt to calculating impact of rebalance on index values was implemented on 25th Apr’22. Returns were adjusted to reflect the impact of updated methodology on all the historical rebalances of the portfolio since launch.

Calculating returns using index values

As clarified earlier, index values are used to calculate portfolio returns. Index values of the portfolio and the corresponding category performance are available on the platform.The “Download” button on the rebalance timeline feature in the stocks and weights section of the portfolio page can be used to download the index value of the portfolio and historical components.To calculate the 1-month return of a portfolio, first decide on the base date and historical date. Suppose the base date is 1st Jan 2015, the historical date is 1st Dec 2014. Let's suppose the index values on these dates are 470.2 and 482.6 respectively. Then the 1 month return is (470.2/482.6)-1 = 2.58%. The absolute returns between any 2 dates can be calculated similarly.

Calculating returns when we have not prescribed any weights

Equal weights are used to calculate the returns, for portfolios where we have just prescribed a list of stocks/ETFs, but has not prescribed any weights. So if there are 5 stocks/ETFs in the portfolio, each would be considered to have 20% weight while using the above-mentioned methodology for returns calculation. Similarly, if there are 10 stocks/ETFs in the portfolio, each would be considered to have 10% weight while using the above-mentioned methodology for returns calculation.

Does portfolio performance include the impact of transaction fees?

No, transaction fees and other related costs are not included to calculate the index value and performance of the portfolios. No actual money was invested or trades were executed while calculating portfolio performances. Returns are based on end of day prices of stocks in a portfolio.

Does portfolio performance include historical rebalances?

Yes, portfolio performance accounts for all the rebalances. portfolios are reviewed and rebalanced as per a schedule depending on the portfolio. As a result of this review process, some stocks may be added, some may be removed and some may undergo weight changes. portfolio returns reflect all these changes.

Does portfolio returns include any backtested data?

No, portfolio returns do not include any backtested data. Interested users can separately checkout the backtest performance through the factsheet of a portfolio.

Does portfolio performance include the adjustment for stocks which users are not able to buy/sell in rebalances due to stocks hitting the upper/lower circuits?

Yes, at the end of every month, we identify all the portfolios which experienced following events :

We added or removed the stocks which were in the upper/lower circuit on the day when users received the rebalance update for execution (next market open day after the we added the rebalance)
We reduced or increased the weights of the stocks which were in the upper/lower circuit on the day users received the rebalance update for execution

For such portfolios, we recalculate the index value for the last month in a manner that ensures :

Circuit stocks are not removed/added from our portfolio for the period in which they remained in the circuit. This will ensure that our portfolio returns are in line with the user portfolio returns, as users would also not be able to buy/sell these stocks for the same period.

Recalculated index value is used to calculate all the ratios like CAGR, volatility labels, etc
