ryRISK FACTORS
Investrng in the Peninsula AMCL BDBL Unit Fund One (hereinafter the Fund) involves certain risks that
investors should carefully consider before investing in the Fund. lnvestment in the capital market and in
the Fund bears certain risks that are normally associated with making investments in securities including
loss of principal amount invested. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment
objectives. The Fund value can be volatile and no assurance can be given that investors will receive the
amount originally invested. When investing in the Fund, investors should carefully consider the risk
factors outlined below, which are not necessarily exhaustive or mutually exclusive:
1. General: There is no assurance that the Fund will be able to meet its investment objective and
investors could potentially incur losses, including loss of principal when investing in the Fund'
Investment in the Fund is not guaranteed by any government agency, the Sponsor or the AMC' Mutual
funds and securities investments are subject to market risks and there can be no assurance or guarantee
that the Fund's objectives will be achieved. As with any investment in securities, the Net Asset Value of
the Fund may go up or down depending on the various factors and forces affecting the Capital Market and
Money Market. past performance of the Sponsors and their affiliates and the AMC do not indicate the
future performance ofthe Fund. Investors should study this 0ffer Document carefully before investing'
Z. External Risk Factor: performance of the Fund is substantially dependent on the macroeconomic
situation and in the capital market as well as money market of Bangladesh. Political and social instability
may have an adverse effect on the value of the Fund's assets. Adverse natural calamities may impact the
performance of the Fund.
3. Market Risk: The Bangladesh capital market is highly volatile and mutual fund prices and prices of
securities can fluctuate significantly. The Fund may lose its value or incur a sizable Ioss on its investments
due to such market volatility. Stock market trends indrcate that prices of maioriry of all the listed
securities move in unpredictable direction which may affectthe value of the Fund'
4. Concentration Risk: Due to a limited number of listed securities in both the DSE and CSE, it may be
difficult to invest the Fund's assets in a wideiy diversified portfolio as and when required to do so' Due to
a very thin secondary fixed income/debt market in Bangladesh, it would be difficult for the Fund Manager
to swap between asset classes, if and when required. Limited options in the money market instruments
will narrow the opportunity of short term or temporary investments of the Fund which may adversely
impact the returns.
S. Dividend Riskl Despite careful investment selection of companies in the Fund, if the companies fail to
provide the expected dividend or fail to disburse the dividends declared in a timely manner, this will
impact the income of the Fund and the overall return of the Fund'
6. Underlying Liquiditv Risk: For investing in Pre-Public Offer Placement securities i.e. in unlisted
equity securities by the Fund, may involve liquidity risk. tn addition, market conditions and investment
allocation may have an impact on the ability to sell securities during periods of market volatility. Debt
securities, while somewhat less liquid, lack a well-developed secondary market, which may restrict the
selling ability of the Fund and may lead to the Fund incurring losses till the security is finally sold. While
securities that are listed on the stock exchange carry lower liquidity risk, the ability to sell these
investments is limited by the overall trading volume on the stock exchanges and may lead to the Fund
incurring losses till the security is linally sold.
7. Investment Strategy Risk: Since the Fund will be an actively managed investment portfolio; the Fund
is subject to management strategy risk. Although the AMC will apply its investment process and risk
Peninsula AMCL BDBL Unit Fund 0ne - 3 ffiw#
minimizatron techniques when making investment decisions for the Fund' there can be no guarantee that
such process and techniques will produce the desired outcome'
B. Credit Risk: Since the Fund will seek to also invest as per the ftftufrFsrsqqoqTfrfi(fiItr]{IETrs)
frfwfqf, too) in both equity and fixed income securities; the credit risk of the fixed income issuers is also
associated with the Fund. lnvestment in fixed income securities are subject to the risk of an issuer's
inability to meet interest and principal pa)"rnents on its obligations and market perception of the
creditworthiness of the issuer.
g. Interest Rate Risk: The NetAssetValue [NAV) ofthe Fund, to the extent invested in Debt and Money
Market securities, will be affected by changes in the general level of interest rates' The NAV of the Fund is
expected to increase from a fall in interest rates while it rvould be adversely affected by an increase in the
Ievel ofinterest rates. In addition, zero coupon securtties do not provide periodic interest payments to the
holder of the security; these securities are more sensitive to changes in interest rates' Therefore' the
interest rate risk of zero coupon securities is higher. The AMC may choose to invest in zero coupon
securities that offer attractive yields. This may increase the risk ofthe portfolio'
10. Issuer Risk: In addition to market and price risk, value of an individual security can, in addition' be
subject to factors unique or specifrc to the issuer, including but not limited to management malfeasance'
lack of accountlng transparency, management performance, management deciSion to take on financial
leverage. Such risk can develop in an unpredictable fashion and can only be partially mitigated' and
sometimes not at all, through research or due diligence. To the degree that the Fund is exposed to a
security whose value declines due to issuer risk, the Fund's value may be impaired'
11, Repurchase Pressure Risk: In the event ofa very large number ofrepurchase requests' the NAV of
the fund may be affected and there rnay be delays in the delivery of the payment.
12, Risk Associated with change of Government Policy: Government policy and Tax laws may change'
affecting the return on investments of the fund, which may eventually affect the NAV and return of the
Units.

CHAPTER 2: BACKGROUND
2.1 PreambleThe mutual fund industry has a long history tracing as far back as the early 1800's with its humble
beginnings generaily .onside.ed to be in Europe. TJday, mutual funds are widely considered to offer
investors atlactive risk adjusted returns by pooling assets for various investment purposes' Despite of
having huge potentiai, the open end unit fund in Bangladesh in particular, is at its early or nascent stages'
offering room for greater growth and product innovation'
ln Bangladesh, unit fund was introduced by Investment Corporation of Bangladesh (lCB)' a-public sector
investment bank, in 198i.. Later ICB Asset Management Company, a subsidiary of ICB' has launched few
unit funds but there has not been any initiative to launch an oien erd unit fund by private sector till
2013. Later few progressive AMCs launched some unit fund. Today nine open end unit funds are in
operation in Bangladesh.
Considering the vital role that open-end mutual funds can play in improving the capital market efficiency'
Bangladesh Development Bank Limited has come forwaid and sponsored an open end mutual fund'
Bangladesh Development Bank Limited feels Bangladesh capital market is entering into a new growth
phase and sponsorship of Peninsula AMCL BDBi Unit Fu;d One will offer them a responsible and
profitable way of particlpating in this growth'
Bangladesh Development Bank Limited has chosen two trusted partners: Peninsula Asset Management
Company Limited (Peninsula AMCL), as the Asset Manager, and Investment Corporation of Bangladesh
[lCB) as the Trustee and the Custodian ofthe Fund'
2.2 Necessity of Unit Fund in the Context of the Current State of Affairs
of the Capital Market of Bangladesh
capital market of Bangladesh presents opportunities and challenges of a frontier market like other
and behavioral aspect origlnaied, ior. y"r. bull-run which commenced in 2007 before burst in
December 2010. Index..r*.h.d to all time high of 8,918 on December 05,2010 with highest daily
turnover reaching over BDT 3.0 bln.
After the bubble burst, while bearish mood continued till now from the inception of ?017, market is
gradually finding a baseline around 4,000 index after long four years. we can decompose this bearish
irend inio three phases; in the first phase, the overvalued market went through correction during 2011
and ZLLZ and in second phase, uncertain political climate is denting the investment confidence and
subsequent bearish mood in 2013 and 2074 and after the anniversary of the last national election,
recentiy we are optimist to term the present condition a little bit stable one.
Bangladesh's economy has consistently been rising over last three decades and now stable with average
GDp growth rate around 6.00/ofor almost ten [10fyears. Consistent growth in GDP indicates underlying
strength of our economy and beckons further growth potential in days ahead. And capital market is an
lntegial part of this economic growth. At present, mutual funds, 41 close end funds (only 1.770/o of market
capiialization andZ.680/o of tulnoverJ .ni 9 op., end unit funds, represent a very small percentage of the
total market capitalization; thus allowing greater scope for market growth in the mutual fund sector'
Being at a nascent stage of development, Bangladesh's capital market is going through volatility that is
prevllent in any frontier market. The capital market of Bangladesh has thousands of individual small
investors who do not have access to the proper investment decision-making toois such as equity research,
market information etc. That is why rumors and personal whim have become the investment tools for
these individuals speculating about the stock prices. As a result the country's capital market does not
behave rationallY.
As riding on volatility requires professional skill to generate abnormal return at higher risk, fundamentals
of the eionomy is also exhtbliing strength, which is translated in sound return based on buy & hold
ury-QE\\

strategy tn specific scrips. A paradigm shift is expected to take place with institutions and professionalmoney managers representing a more sizable and reasonable proportion of the market compared to
retail and short term investors. This shift will help to reduce unnecessary market volatility, lead to morerational price discovery and limit the influence of rumor-based trading in the market on a day-to-daybasis. This growth and maturity in the market will play a pivotal role to attract fund from both local and
foreign sources.
2.3 Advantages of Investing in Peninsula AMCL BDBL Unit Fund One
The investors of Peninsula AN'lCL BDBL Unit Fund One rvill have some great advantages because mutualfund when compared to direct investment in securities of the capital market enjoys the following:
The Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission has strict policies in place whichregulates the mutual fund industry in Bangladesh. The extensive disclosures of operationand management of mutual funds to the regulator as well as to general public assuresthe transparency and security for investors.
Peninsula Asset Management Company Limited will ensure ths ftftBRBq g qqruq rfr'F(ftqrur $E) fifM, qoo> will be followed dutifully under all circumstances.
This Fund will help lower the investment risk of small investors because of thediversified fund portfolio. The diversified portfolio of the Fund will also help the smallinvestors gain broad exposure to whole stock market rvhich would have been difficult atindividual level.
Stock selection and market timing by the Asset Manager may generate higher return.
Unit Funds offer automatic reinvestment (i.e. Cumulative Investment PlanJ efficiently.Investors who like to receive current dividend income can enjoy receiving yearlydividends. Alternatively, investors rvho rt,ant to see their Unit Funds grow, can easily andautomatically have capital gains and dividends reinvested. Over time, reinvestingdividends can add substantially to the value of a fund as the result of compounding.
Under current rules of lnitial Public 0fferings (lPOs) in Bangladesh, the mutual funds areentitled to participate in a 10 (ten) per cent reserved quota during the lottery. It may benoted that IP0s have historically outperformed the general index.
Dividend income from this Fund will be tax free up to a certain level as permitted by theFinance Act.
This Unit Fund will add liquidity to the market by pooling small investors' savings.
