SIPs – CAR / CKA
What are Excluded Investment Products (EIPs)?
Excluded Investment Products (EIPs) are investment products which have terms and features that are generally understood by retail investors, and the classification of an EIP is determined by its complexity, and not its risk level.

You can view the list of EIP funds available for you on POEMS > Prices(LP1) or Trade (LP2) > Unit Trust > Under Fund Info dropdown, select “Excluded Investment Product (EIP) ”
