To help investors better understand risks involved in mutual fund investments, regulator SEBI had replaced the mandatory colour codes with a ‘riskometer’ containing five levels of risks from low to high. Similar to a speedometer that tells you how much you are speeding, Riskometer helps you to understand the risk profile and level of the MF scheme.

Every MF scheme will carry this representation indicating the level of risk it carries. Riskometer, as it has been labelled, is a pictorial representation of the risk carried by a fund.
x. LOW - Principal at low risk
xi. MODERATELY LOW principal at moderately low risk
xii. MODERATE - Principal at moderate risk
xiii. MODERATELY HIGH Principal at moderately high risk
xiv. HIGH - Principal at high risk
