Triggers are options provided to the Unit holder enable automatic switch on the happening of the desired event. Triggers can help Investor make the most of market movements without the hassle of constant tracking. It  provides information (alert based trigger) / initiates action (action based trigger). The Unit holder can specify a specific event/action, which may be related to time or value or a specific event/action in advance and when this event/action takes place the trigger will get activated. If thenUnit holder has opted for alert based trigger, this facility will "ALERT" (via Mail/SMS) the Unit holder after meeting the specifications provided by the investor. If the Unit holder has opted for action based trigger, the system will process the transaction (switch ) on the basis of the specifications provided by the Unit holder.

Trigger facility helps the Unit holders to minimize the loss and/or timely book the profits. Also trigger is an additional facility provided to the Unit holders to save time on completing switch formalities on happening of a particular predetermined event.

The Unit holder has to set the Trigger.

The AMC will execute the trigger on the Unit holder's behalf.

A Trigger will activate a transaction / alert when the event selected for has reached the value greater than/ equal to the specified particular value i.e. Trigger Point.

Eg:  Mr. Z bought 5000 units at NAV of 11.00. If  Mr. Z wants to switch all his units when the NAV reaches 15.00, he has to keep track of the NAV daily and then send a switch request within a stipulated time period for effecting the switch at the NAV of the intended day.

However, instead of keeping a track of the NAV everyday, Mr.ZA can set a Trigger: To switch all units when NAV is 13 or more. In this case, the AMC will keep track on behalf of Mr. Z and switch his units on the day when the NAV reaches 13 or more. Thus Trigger is useful in financial planning.

The various types of Triggers available to the Unit holder are:
a. Event-based Triggers: Unit holder can also set triggers based on the occurrence of a particular external event that affects the value of investment. For example,

• Value of investment reaches or crosses a particular value
