Advantages Over Investor-level Strategy

An investor can construct a portfolio similar to this Scheme by allocating equity monies to stocks or options and debt monies to FMPs. However, investment in this Scheme has advantages over such an approach. Investment and risk management processes are followed with a focus towards capital preservation Multiplier effect of investing in equity index call options compared to investing in stocks Access to long-dated equity options due to the institutional bandwidth; similar options cannot be accessed by individual investors due to lack of sufficient liquidity and volumes No active trading of options and associated risks with such a strategy are not involved as the expiry of options is matched with the maturity of the Scheme. An investor-level strategy would require active management of the option exposures.
