**The scheme is currently following a 'roll down' investment approach on a tactical basis. The portfolio has been repositioned as an approximately 3-year roll down investment approach in Jan-March (JFM) quarter of CY23. This means that post repositioning, ordinarily the average maturity of the scheme's portfolio is unlikely to increase significantly and may be expected to generally reduce with the passage of time, subject to intermittent periods of volatility in the maturity profile owing to AUM (Asset Under Management) movement and market conditions. The approach being followed is tactical in nature and would be subject to change depending on investment opportunities available without prior notice.
