           some or other part of the world, such as flood, extreme weather,
           pandemic, building weapon of mass destruction etc which has been cause
           ofworry.

           Subsequent sections discusses the risks identified under each of the above
           four categories of risks.
                                        Risks

                                                   of infectious diseases
           No technological risks have been identified during 2015

           Geo-political Risk :
           For the year 2015, Geo-political risks have figured at three places in terms
           of likelihood and at two places in terms of impact. This suggests it weight.
           The emergence of this risk is due to current changing political landscape
           across the world citing examples of conflicts in Iraq, Syriaand the political
           tension existing invarious parts of the world.

           How much such risks may affect the Indian financial market, if these risks
           materialize?
