Monthly Income is not assured and is subject to the availability of distributable surplus. Investment Objective The primary objective of the Scheme is to generate regular returns through investments primarily in Debt and Money Market Instruments. The secondary objective of the Scheme is to generate long-term capital appreciation by investing a portion of the Scheme’s assets in equity and equity related securities. However, there can be no assurance that the investment objectives of the Scheme will be realized. The Scheme do not guarantee/indicate any returns. Asset Allocation Pattern Normal Allocation (% of Net Assets) Maximum Allocation (% of Net Assets) Risk Profile Debt Instruments* & Money Market Instruments (including cash / call money) Type of Instruments 85 100 Low to Medium Equities & Equity** Related Securities 15 20 Medium to High * Debt instruments may include securitised debt upto 60% of the net assets ** Exposure to derivative Instruments not more than 50% of the net assets. Investment Strategies The net assets of the Scheme will be invested in debt and money market instruments. The Debt portion of the portfolio will be actively managed based on the AMC’s view on interest rates. The price of fixed income instruments varies with changes in interest rates. As interest rates decline, the value of fixed income securities rise and as interest rates rise, their value declines. The AMC forms views on the likely direction of interest rates and the portfolio is structured consistent with these views. Individual instruments are bought and sold based on the conformity with the interest rate view and the instrument specific factors (credit risk, exposure). By actively managing the portfolio, the scheme attempts to achieve its objective through both interest yield and capital appreciation. As such, the scheme may not invest solely based on the best available yields in the market at all points of time. Some portion of the scheme’s assets will be invested in equity and equity related securities to fulfil the secondary objective of the scheme. The equity portion of the portfolio will aim to outperform the benchmark and to provide long-term capital growth through a diversified and actively managed portfolio of equity and equity related securities. The scheme will invest in a range of companies, with a bias towards large and medium market capitalization companies.

SEBI/IMD/CIR No. 1/ 91171/07 dated April 16, 2007, SEBI/IMD/CIR No. 8/107311/07 dated October 26, 2007 and SEBI/IMD/CIR No. 7/129592/08 dated June 23, 2008), pending deployment of funds of the scheme in securities in terms of investment objective of the scheme, the Mutual Fund may invest the funds of the scheme in short term deposits of scheduled commercial banks subject to restrictions laid down under the SEBI Regulations from time to time. Investment Strategies The funds strategy seeks to generate long term capital appreciation by taking advantage of diversification by investing in a mix of fixed income securities including money market instruments and gold ETF. It also aims to manage risk through active asset allocation. Investments in debt instruments will include corporate debt, securitized debt and other debt instruments with maturity/average maturity / residual maturity/ interest rate reset greater than 365 days. The debt portion of the portfolio will be actively managed based on the AMC’s view on interest rates. The price of fixed income instruments varies with changes in interest rates. As interest rates decline, the value of fixed income securities rise and as interest rates rise, their value declines. The AMC forms views on the likely direction of interest rates and the portfolio is structured consistent with these views. Individual instruments are bought and sold based on the conformity with the interest rate view and the instrument specific factors (credit risk, exposure). By actively managing the portfolio, the scheme attempts to achieve its objective through both interest yield and capital appreciation. As such, the scheme may not invest solely based on the best available yields in the market at all points of time.

BNP PARIBAS FLEXI DEBT FUND (BNPPFDF) Date of Inception September 23, 2004 Type of the Scheme An open-ended Income scheme Investment Objective The primary objective of the Scheme is to generate income through investments in a range of Debt and Money Market Instruments of various maturities with a view to maximising income while maintaining an optimum balance between yield, safety and liquidity. However, there can be no assurance that the investment objectives of the Scheme will be realized. The Scheme do not guarantee/indicate any returns. Asset Allocation Pattern Type of Instruments Normal Allocation (% of Net Assets) Maximum Allocation (% of Net Assets) Risk Profile Debt Instruments* with maturity of more than 1 year 70 90 Low to Medium Money Market Instruments** (including cash / call money & Reverse Repo) and debentures with maturity of less than 1 year 30 100 Low * Debt instruments may include securitised debt upto 60% of the net assets. ** Exposure to derivative Instruments not more than 50% of the net assets. Investment Strategies The net assets of the Scheme will be invested in debt and money market instruments. The debt portion of the portfolio will be actively managed based on the AMC’s view on interest rates. The price of fixed income instruments varies with changes in interest rates. As interest rates decline, the value of fixed income securities rise and as interest rates rise, their value declines. The AMC forms views on the likely direction of interest rates and the portfolio is structured consistent with these views. This may involve active duration management to take advantage of any opportunities that may arise on account of interest rate movements. The portfolio shall be thus actively managed to capture the spread and duration gains with a strong focus on credit quality of instruments. By actively managing the portfolio, the Scheme attempts to achieve its objective through both interest yield and capital appreciation. As such, the Scheme may not invest solely based on the best available yields in the market at all points of time. The Scheme aims to provide investors with an actively managed portfolio of debt & money market instruments. Interest rate movements in the Indian debt markets can be volatile leading to the possibility of large price movements up or down in debt and money market securities and thereby to possibly large movements in the valuation of Portfolios. The risk of loss on account of such active and dynamic management can thus be substantial. The extent of change in price shall depend on the rating, tenor to maturity, coupon, liquidity, and the extent of fall or rise in interest rates. Individual instruments are bought and sold based on the conformity with the interest rate view and the instrument specific factors (credit risk, exposure, etc.).The Government securities carry zero credit risk, but they carry interest rate risk like any other Fixed Income Securities. The portfolio may also include other liquid assets and other short maturity assets, especially in times of rising interest rates.

BNP PARIBAS GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND (BNPPGSF) Date of Inception April 30, 2013 Type of the Scheme An open-ended debt scheme Investment Objective The objective of the scheme is to seek to generate income and capital appreciation by investing in a portfolio of government securities of various maturities issued by Central & State Government. However, there can be no assurance that the investment objective of the scheme will be achieved. The scheme does not guarantee/indicate any returns. Asset Allocation Pattern The asset allocation of the scheme under normal circumstances would be: Instruments Indicative allocations (% of total assets) Risk Profile Minimum Maximum Government Securities issued by Central / State government and Treasury Bills, 65 100 Medium to Low Reverse repos in Government Securities and CBLO. Units of liquid funds and units of schemes predominantly investing in Government Securities 0 35 Low The cumulative gross exposure through government securities, treasury bills and derivatives will not exceed 100% of the net assets of the scheme. The investments in units of liquid funds and units of schemes predominantly investing in Government Securities shall not exceed 5% of the net assets of the scheme. The scheme will not invest in securitised debt. Exposure to debt derivative instruments shall not be more than 30% of the net assets and shall be used only for hedging and portfolio balancing. The scheme will not invest in foreign securities including foreign securitised debt. The scheme will not invest in equity, equity related securities and foreign equity securities including ADR/GDR. The scheme will not indulge in short selling and securities lending and borrowing. It may be noted that AMC has to adhere to the asset allocation pattern indicated in the SID under normal circumstances. The modified duration of the portfolio can go up to 10. Accordingly, such higher portfolio duration can possibly lead to large price movements up or down in debt and money market securities and thereby to possibly large movements in the valuation of portfolios. The risk of loss on account of such dynamic duration management can thus be substantial. For details of exit load on switches to/ from Direct Plan please refer point no 7. Direct Plan on page no. 11. 5 BNP PARIBAS GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND (BNPPGSF) (Contd.) Investment Strategies The scheme will invest in Government Securities issued by Central/ State Government, repos/ reverse repos in Central/ State Government Securities as may be permitted by RBI. The fund management team will take an active view of the interest rate environment by keeping a close watch on various parameters of the Indian economy like, Government's borrowing program, level of liquidity in the banking system, inflation levels and overall macro economic growth of the country. It will take into account the various variables affecting the interest rate scenario, relative valuation of the securities, quality of instruments, maturity profile of the instruments and liquidity of the securities. As the fund is largely going to invest primarily in government securities and can employ active duration strategy the portfolio turnover can be higher relative to other debt strategies. Interest rate movements in the Indian debt markets can be volatile leading to the possibility of large price movements up or down in debt and money market securities and thereby to possibly large movements in the valuation of Portfolios. The risk of loss on account of such active and dynamic management can thus be substantial. The extent of change in price shall depend on the tenor to maturity, coupon, liquidity, and the extent of fall or rise in interest rates. The AMC will endeavor to meet the investment objective of scheme while maintaining a balance between safety, liquidity and return on investment.

BNP PARIBAS MONEY PLUS FUND (BNPPMPF) Date of Inception October 21, 2005 Type of the Scheme An open-ended Income scheme Investment Objective The primary objective of the Scheme is to provide income consistent with the prudent risk from a portfolio comprising of floating rate debt instruments, fixed rate debt instruments, money market instruments and derivatives. However, there can be no assurance that the investment objective of the Scheme will be achieved. The Scheme do not guarantee / indicate any returns. Asset Allocation Pattern Type of Securities Normal Allocation (% of Net Assets) Minimum Allocation (% of Net Assets) Maximum Allocation (% of Net Assets) Risk Profile Floating Rate Debt Instruments (including Money Market Instruments, Debt Instruments of residual maturity less than one year as also Fixed Rate Debt Instruments* swapped for floating rate returns)# 75 65 100 Low to Medium Fixed Rate Debt Instruments* (including Money Market Instruments & Floating Rate Debt Instruments swapped for fixed rate returns)# 25 0 35 Low to Medium * Debt instruments may include securitised debt upto 60% of the net assets. # Exposure in interest rate derivative upto 50% of the net assets. Investment Strategies The net assets of the scheme will be predominantly invested in floating rate debt instruments, fixed rate debt instruments swapped for floating rate return, fixed rate debt securities, money market instruments and government securities in accordance with the investment pattern table. The objective is to generate stable returns linked to the prevalent rates of interest in the market. The yield on floating rate instruments increase with market interest rates in contrast to fixed interest securities that pay a fixed coupon irrespective of current interest rates. Thus floating rate instruments generate returns linked to market rates of interest. In the absence of floating rate debt instruments, synthetic floating rate instruments can be created with a combination of fixed rate instruments and derivatives such as Interest Rate Swaps and Forward Rate Agreements. Floating rate instruments are typically linked to a benchmark such as MIBOR (overnight to three months), Government Bond Yield (one year and above), etc. The scheme may invest in floating rate instruments with longer duration benchmarks (e.g. 5-year government security yield) as well as short duration benchmarks (e.g. MIBOR). The mix of floating and fixed rate instruments is decided based on the view on interest rates. If the fund manager believes that interest rates are headed higher, the proportion of floating rate instruments is increased. Conversely if the fund manager believes that interest rates are likely to decline, the proportion of fixed rate instruments is increased. The fund manager may use derivatives to create synthetic fixed rate instruments. Individual instruments are selected based on yield, credit risk of issuer, exposure to issuer, etc. Risk Profile of the Scheme Mutual Fund Units involve investment risks including the possible loss of principal.

(ii) As the price/ value/ interest rates of the securities including ETFs in which the scheme invests fluctuate, the value of your investment in the schemes may go up or down. The various factors which impact the value of the scheme’s investments include, but are not limited to, fluctuations in the bond markets, fluctuations in interest rates, fluctuations in gold prices, prevailing political and economic environment, changes in government policy, factors specific to the issuer of the securities, tax laws, liquidity of the underlying instruments, settlement periods, trading volumes, etc. (iii) Past performance of the Sponsor/ AMC/ Mutual Fund does not guarantee future performance of the schemes. (iv) BNP Paribas Equity Fund, BNP Paribas Dividend Yield Fund, BNP Paribas Tax Advantage Plan (ELSS), BNP Paribas Mid Cap Fund, BNP Paribas Monthly Income Plan, BNP Paribas Flexi Debt Fund, BNP Paribas Short Term Income Fund, BNP Paribas Bond Fund, BNP Paribas Money Plus Fund BNP Paribas Overnight Fund BNP Paribas Income and Gold Fund & BNP Paribas Government Securities Fund are the names of the schemes and do not in any manner indicate either the quality of the schemes or its future prospects and returns. (v) The sponsor / associates are not responsible or liable for any loss resulting from the operation of the schemes beyond the initial contribution of Rs. 1,00,000 (Rupees One lakh only) to the corpus of the Mutual Fund made by it towards setting up the Fund. (vi) The present schemes are not guaranteed or assured return schemes. SCHEMES SPECIFIC RISK FACTORS: (I) Market Risk: All mutual funds and securities investments are subject to market risk and there can be no assurance / guarantee that the scheme’s objectives will be achieved. The securities that the schemes invest in would be exposed to price changes on a day-to-day basis. These price changes may occur due to instrument specific factors as well as general macroeconomic conditions. Markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. The schemes may be subject to price volatility due to factors such as interest sensitivity, market perception, and creditworthiness of issuer and market liquidity. Different parts of the market can react differently to these developments. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. (II) Risk associated with schemes investing in Equities: The risks associated with investments in equities and similar instruments include significant fluctuations in prices. The impact of fluctuations is likely to be accentuated for short-term investments. The risk that the performance of one or more companies declines or stagnates may have a negative impact on the performance of the Schemes as a whole at any given time. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to political, regulatory, economic, market and stock-specific developments etc. Different parts of the market can react differently to these developments. The stock-specific volatility may also change over a period of time as the characteristic of the stock undergoes a change in terms of market-cap category. The Schemes may hold such securities for only a very short time, which could tend to increase the costs. The Schemes may invest in growth stocks which may be more volatile than the market in general and may react differently to economic, political and market developments and to specific information about the issuer. Growth stocks traditionally show higher volatility than other stocks, especially over short periods. These stocks may also be more expensive in relation to their profits than the market in general. Consequently, growth stocks may react with more volatility to variations in profit growth. The Fund Manager may temporarily adopt a more defensive approach if it considers that the equity market or economy is experiencing excessive volatility, a persistent general decline, or other unfavorable conditions. In such circumstances, the Schemes may be unable to achieve or pursue its investment objective. The Schemes may invest in companies making an initial public offering. In such cases there is a risk that the price of the newly floated share is more volatile due to factors such as the absence of previous trading, unseasonal transactions and the limited number of securities available for trading. In the event that investible funds of more than 65% of the total proceeds in the Schemes are not invested in equity shares of domestic companies, the tax exemption on income distribution will not be available to the Unit Holders. (III) Risk factors specific to BNP Paribas Dividend Yield Fund - Though investments would be made in companies with high dividend yield, the performance of the scheme would interalia depend on the ability of these companies to sustain dividends in future. - High dividend yield stocks may be less liquid in terms of trading volumes in the stock markets and hence the impact cost and portfolio liquidity risk is commensurately higher. - The securities in the Scheme may be predominantly characterized by a stock selection where more emphasis is on stock valuation and less on earnings growth (the ‘value’ style). There could be time periods when securities of this nature may underperform relative to other stocks in the market. This could impact performance. - The Scheme retains the flexibility to hold from time to time relatively more concentrated investments in a few sectors as compared to plain diversified equity funds. This may make the Scheme vulnerable to factors that may affect these sectors in specific and may be subject to a greater level of market risk leading to increased volatility in the Scheme’s NAV. (IV) Risk factors specific to BNP Paribas Tax Advantage Plan (ELSS) Units purchased in the Scheme cannot be assigned / transferred / pledged / redeemed / switched out until the completion of 3 years from the date of allotment of the respective Unit. (V) Risk factors specific to BNP Paribas Mid Cap Fund - It is important to note that mid / small cap stocks can be riskier and more volatile on a relative basis; although middle and smaller capitalization stocks provide one an opportunity to go beyond the usual large blue chip stocks and present possible higher capital appreciation. Therefore, the risk levels of investing in small cap and mid cap stocks is more than investing in stocks of large well established companies. Please note that over a time these two categories have demonstrated different levels of volatility and investment returns. And it is important to note that generally, no one class consistently outperforms the others. While smaller and medium size companies may offer substantial opportunities for capital appreciation, they also involve substantial risks. Historically, these companies have been more volatile in price than larger company securities, especially over the short term. - Smaller companies are subject to lesser growth prospects & lower degree of liquidity leading to greater price volatility and greater sensitivity of smaller companies to changing economic conditions. Smaller Companies carry large amount of liquidity risk compared to Large Cap companies, as the ability to sell is limited by overall trading volume of the securities, in which it invests. In addition, smaller companies may lack depth of management, may not be able to generate funds necessary for growth or development, or developing or marketing new products or for services for which markets are not yet established. They could also suffer from disadvantages such as - outdated technologies, lack of bargaining power with suppliers, low entry barriers and inadequate management depth. Overall, the risks of investing in medium / small companies are (a) transparency / liquidity levels may not be on par with established, large cap companies; (b) corporate governance may be an issue with some companies; and (c) they may not be resilient enough to withstand shocks of business / economic cycles. (VI) Risks associated with schemes investing in fixed income securities: - Credit and Counterparty risk: Credit risk or default risk refers to the risk that an issuer of a fixed income security may default (i.e., will be unable to make timely principal and interest payments on the security or honor its contractual obligations). Counterparty risk refers to the counterparty’s inability to honor its commitments (payment, delivery, repayment, etc.) and to risk of default. This risk relates to the quality of the counterparty on which the fund has exposures. Losses can occur in particular for the settlement/delivery of financial instruments or the conclusion of financial derivatives contracts. - Liquidity Risk: The liquidity of the scheme’s investment is inherently restricted by trading volumes in the securities in which the schemes invest. A lower level of liquidity affecting an individual security or derivative or an entire market at the same time, may have an adverse bearing on the value of the scheme’s assets. More importantly, this may affect the scheme’s ability to sell particular securities and derivatives quickly enough to minimise impact cost, as and when necessary to meet requirements of liquidity or to sell securities in response to triggers such as a specific economic/corporate event. Trading volumes, settlement periods and transfer procedures may restrict the liquidity of a few or all of the investments and may affect the liquidity of the investments of the schemes. The schemes may be unable to implement purchase or sale decisions when the markets turn illiquid, missing some investment opportunities or limiting ability to face redemptions. The lack of liquidity could also lead to the risk that the sale price of a security could be substantially lower than the fair value of the security. - Interest Rate Risk and Re-investment Risk: The value of an investment may be affected by interest rate fluctuations. Interest rates may be influenced by several elements or events, such as monetary policy, the discount rate, inflation, etc. The value of debt and fixed income securities held by the schemes generally will vary inversely with the changes in prevailing interest rates. Further, securities of any issuer that has higher duration could be more risky in terms of price movements relative to those with lower duration. The investments made by the schemes are subject to reinvestment risk. This risk refers to the interest rate levels at which cash flows received from the securities in the schemes are reinvested. The additional income from reinvestment is the “interest on interest” component. The risk is that the rate at which interim cash flows can be reinvested may be lower than that originally assumed. There have been times in the past, when settlements have been unable to keep pace with the volume of securities transactions, making it difficult to conduct further transactions. Delays or other problems in settlement of transactions could result in temporary periods when the assets of the Schemes are not invested and no return is earned thereon.. - Concentration Risk: The schemes may pursue only a limited degree of diversification. It may invest a greater proportion of assets in the securities of very few issuers (within the limits permitted by regulation) or be concentrated on a few market sectors as compared to a diversified schemes. This could have implications on the performance of the schemes. The schemes may be more sensitive to economic, business, political or other changes and this may lead to sizeable fluctuation in the Net Asset Value of the schemes. - Risk associated with investment in unrated instruments: The schemes may invest in lower rated/unrated instruments considering the overall risk of the portfolio. This may increase the absolute level of risk of the portfolio. The credit risk & liquidity risk will be relatively higher for lower/unrated instruments as compared to the instruments that have been assigned investment grade ratings. Lower rated/ unrated securities also tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than instruments that have been assigned investment grade ratings. - Risks associated with investing in securitised debt: Schemes may invest in domestic securitised debt such as asset backed securities (ABS) or mortgage backed securities (MBS). ABS means securitized debts wherein the underlying assets are receivables arising from personal loans, automobile loans, etc. MBS means securitized debts wherein the underlying assets are receivables arising from loans backed by mortgage of properties which can be residential or commercial in nature. ABS / MBS instruments reflect the undivided interest in the underlying of assets and do not represent the obligation of the issuer of ABS / MBS or the originator of the underlying receivables. The ABS / MBS holders have a limited recourse to the extent of credit enhancement provided. Securitized debt may suffer credit losses in the event of the delinquencies and credit losses in the underlying pool exceeding the credit enhancement provided. As compared to the normal corporate or sovereign debt, securitized debt is normally exposed to a higher level of reinvestment risk. (VII) Risk associated with derivatives: The schemes may use various derivative instruments and techniques, permitted within SEBI Regulation from time to time, which may increase the volatility of fund’s performance. Usage of derivatives will expose the schemes to certain risks inherent to such derivatives. Derivative products are specialized instruments and can provide disproportionate gains as well as disproportionate losses to the investor. Execution of such strategies depends upon the ability of the fund manager to identify such opportunities. Identification and execution of the strategies to be pursued by the fund manager involve uncertainty and decision of fund manager may not always be profitable. No assurance can be given that the fund manager will be able to identify or execute such strategies profitably. The risks associated with the use of derivatives are different from or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. (VIII) Risk factors specific to investments in foreign securities: To the extent that the assets of the schemes may invest in foreign securities, there may be risks associated with currency movements, restrictions on repatriation and transaction procedures in overseas market, lack of complete or reliable information, market irregularities or high taxation. Further, the repatriation of capital to India may also be hampered by changes in regulations or political circumstances. Market risks can be greater with respect to political instability, lack of complete or reliable information, market irregularities or high taxation. As the investment will be in securities, which are denominated in foreign currencies, fluctuation in the exchange rates of the foreign currencies may have an impact on the income and value of the fund. It may be noted that if rupee appreciates, it will lead to reduction in returns to investor. The liquidation of securities where investments will be made by the schemes shall be subject to the liquidity / settlement issues of the country of investment / settlement. Non-business days in country of investment / settlement may impact the liquidity of the scheme investments. (IX) Risk factors specific to investments in BNP Paribas Income & Gold Fund: The price of gold may fluctuate due to various reasons, for examples, global gold supplies and demand, which is influenced by factors such as forward selling by gold producers, purchases made by gold producers to unwind gold hedging positions, central bank purchases and sales and productions and cost levels in major gold producing countries, investor’s expectation with respect to the rate of inflation, currency exchange rates, interest rates, investment and trading activities of commodity funds / hedge funds, global or regional political or economic or financial events and situations, central Bank actions, inflation trends and interest rate changes, geo-political concerns etc. Please refer Scheme Information Document for more details. (X) Risk factors specific to BNP Paribas Government Securities Fund: Sovereign risk: The Central Government of India is the issuer of the local currency debt in India. The Government raises money to meet its capital and revenue expenditure by issuing debt or discounted securities. Since payment of interest and principal amount has a sovereign status implying least probability of a default, such securities are known as securities with sovereign credit. It also implies that the credit risk on such Government securities is even lower than that on non-government securities with "AAA" rating and hence yields on government securities are even lower than yields on non-government securities with "AAA" rating. (XI) Other risks: Other risks including risk associated with inflation, legal risk, taxation risk, operational risk & valuation risk have been provided in Scheme Information Document. RISK CONTROL MEASURES Since investing requires disciplined risk management, the AMC would endeavour to incorporate adequate safeguards for controlling risks in the portfolio construction process. A credit evaluation of each investment opportunity will be undertaken to manage credit risk. The AMC will utilise ratings of recognised rating agencies as an input in the decision making process. The fund manager shall follow the asset allocation pattern in SID under normal circumstances and residual cash may be invested in the collateralised borrowing & lending obligations (CBLO) / repo market, units of liquid funds. There can however be no guarantee against liquidity issues within the schemes. The AMC may also implement certain internal control procedures / risk & exposure limits etc. for controlling risks which may be varied from time to time. The schemes may utilise derivative instruments for hedging & portfolio balancing purposes. All Interest Rate Swaps will be undertaken with approved counter parties under pre approved International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) agreements. The schemes may also use various derivatives and hedging products from time to time, as would be available and permitted by SEBI/RBI for the purpose of hedging and portfolio rebalancing. The above risk control measures shall be implemented by the AMC on best effort basis however there can be no guarantee that such measures can completely mitigate the risks involved in schemes. 9 PERFORMANCE OF EQUITY & DEBT SCHEMES AS ON May 31, 2013 BNP PARIBAS EQUITY FUND BNP PARIBAS FLEXI DEBT FUND Compounded Annualised Returns (CAGR)% Period BNPPEF Benchmark# BNPPEF-DP Benchmark# Since Inception 17.21 15.38 0 . 3 3 0 . 5 9 Last 5 Years 5.03 4.21 N.A.
