Part III- OTHER DETAILS
A. EXCHANGE TRADED FUND (ETF)
ETFs are innovative products that provide exposure to an index or a basket of securities that trade on the
exchange like a single stock. ETFs have a number of advantages over traditional open-ended index funds
as they can be bought and sold on the exchange at prices that are usually close to the actual intra-day NAV
of the Scheme. ETFs are an innovation to traditional mutual funds as ETFs provide investors a fund that
closely tracks the performance of an index with the ability to buy/sell on an intra-day basis. Unlike listed close
ended funds, which trade at substantial premiums or more frequently at discounts to NAV, ETFs are
structured in a manner which allows to create new units and redeem outstanding units directly with the fund,
thereby ensuring that ETFs trade close to their actual NAVs.
ETFs have all the benefits of indexing such as diversification, low cost and transparency. As ETFs are listed
on the exchange, costs of distribution are much lower and the reach is wider. These savings in cost are
passed on to the investors in the form of lower costs. Furthermore, exchange traded mechanism helps
reduce minimal collection, disbursement and other processing charges. The structure of ETFs is such that it
protects long-term investors from inflows and outflows of short-term investor. This is because the fund does
not bear extra transaction cost when buying/selling due to frequent subscriptions and redemptions.
Tracking Error of ETFs is likely to be low as compared to a normal index fund. Due to the
Creation/Redemption of units through the in-kind mechanism the mutual fund can keep lesser funds in cash.
Also, time lag between buying/selling units and the underlying securities is much lower.
Benefits of ETFs
a. Can be easily bought / sold like any other stock on the exchange through terminals spread across the
country.
b. Can be bought / sold anytime during market hours at prices that are expected to be close to actual NAV
of the Scheme. Thus, investor invests at real-time prices as opposed to end of day prices.
c. No separate form filling for buying / selling units. It is just a phone call to your broker or a click on the
net.
d. Ability to put limit orders.
e. Minimum investment for an ETF is one unit.
f. Protects long-term investors from the inflows and outflows of short-term investors.
g. Helps in increasing liquidity of underlying cash market.
Risks of ETFs
a. Absence of Prior Active Market: Although the units of ETFs are listed on the Stock Exchange for trading,
there can be no assurance that an active secondary market will develop or be maintained.
b. Lack of Market Liquidity: Trading in units of ETFs on the Stock Exchange on which it is listed may be
halted because of market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the concerned Stock Exchange
or Market Regulator, trading in the ETF Units is inadvisable. In addition, trading in the units of ETFs is
SCHEME INFORMATION DOCUMENT 17Aditya Birla Sun Life CRISIL Long Term Gilt ETF
subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to ‘circuit filter’ rules. There
can be no assurance that the requirements of the concerned Stock Exchange necessary to maintain
the listing of the units of ETFs will continue to be met or will remain unchanged.
c. Units of Exchange Traded Funds May Trade at Prices Other than NAV: Units of ETFs may trade above
or below their NAV. The NAV of Units of ETFs may fluctuate with changes in the market value of a
Scheme’s holdings.
The trading prices of units of ETF will fluctuate in accordance with changes in their NAVs as well as market
supply and demand. However, given that ETFs can be created/ redeemed in Creation Units, directly with the
fund, large discounts or premiums to the NAVs will not sustain due to arbitrage possibility available.
Procedure for direct transaction with AMC for Creation/Redemption of the ETF units in Creation Unit
Size:
• The Fund/AMC allows cash for Purchase of Units of the Scheme in Creation Unit Size by Large
Investors/Market Makers.
• Creation of Units in Cash: Subscription of the ETF Units in Creation Unit Size will be made by payment
of requisite Cash, as determined by the AMC equivalent to the cost incurred towards the purchase of pre-
defined basket of securities that represent the Underlying Index, Cash Component and transaction handling
charges, if any, only by means of payment instruction of RTGS/ NEFT or Funds Transfer Letter/Transfer
Cheque of a bank where the Scheme has a collection account.
• The Creation Unit will be subject to transaction handling charges, if any incurred by the Fund/AMC. Such
transaction handling charges shall be recoverable from the transacting Market Maker or Large Investor.
• The Cash Component for units of the Scheme may change from time to time due to changes in the
Underlying Index on account of corporate actions and changes to the index constituents.
• The investors are requested to note that the Units of the Scheme will be credited into the Investor’s
Depository Participant account only on receipt of Cash Component and transaction handling charges, if
any. ‘Creation Unit Size’ is fixed number of units of the Scheme, which is exchanged for cash for purchasing
basket of securities and a Cash Component, equal to the value of said predefined units of the Scheme.
Procedure for Redemption directly with the Mutual Fund in Creation Unit Size for Market
Makers/Large Investors
• The requisite number of Units of the Scheme equivalent to the Creation Unit has to be transferred to the
Fund’s Depository Participant account and the Cash Component to be paid to the AMC/Custodian.
• The Fund shall allow cash Redemption of the Units of the Scheme in Creation Unit Size by Large
Investors/Market Makers.
• Large investors can redeem Units of the Scheme for an amount greater than 25 crores on any Business
Days. Market Makers can directly redeem units of the scheme in “Creation unit size” only on any business
day.
• Such Investors shall make a Redemption request to the Fund/AMC whereupon the Fund/AMC will arrange
to sell underlying portfolio Securities on behalf of the Investor. Accordingly, the sale proceeds of portfolio
Securities, after adjusting the Cash Component and transaction handling charges will be remitted to the
Investor.
• Redemption proceeds will be sent to Market Makers/Large Investors within 3 working days of the date of
redemption subject to confirmation with the depository records of the Scheme’s DP account.
Note:
1. The Creation Unit Size may be changed by the AMC in order to equate it with marketable lots of the
underlying securities or at their discretion and the notice of the same shall be published on AMC’s website.
2. Transaction handling charges include brokerage, Securities transaction tax, regulatory charges if any,
depository participant charges, uploading charges and such other charges that the mutual fund may have to
incur in the course of Cash subscription/redemption, Such transaction handling charges shall be recoverable
from the transacting Investor.
3. The Cash Component for the ETF may change from time to time due to change in NAV.
SCHEME INFORMATION DOCUMENT 18Aditya Birla Sun Life CRISIL Long Term Gilt ETF
B. COMPUTATION OF NAV
The Net Asset Value (NAV) per Unit of the scheme will be computed by dividing the net assets of the scheme
by the number of Units outstanding under the scheme on the valuation date. The Mutual Fund will value its
investments according to the valuation norms, as specified in Schedule VIII of the SEBI Regulations, or such
norms as may be specified by SEBI from time to time.
NAV of Units under the scheme shall be calculated as shown below:
Market or Fair Value of the scheme’s Investments
+ Current Assets (including accrued income)
- Current Liabilities and Provisions (including accrued expenses)
NAV (Rs.) per Unit = ——————————————————————————————
No. of Units outstanding under the scheme
The AMC will calculate and disclose the NAV of the scheme on every business day. The NAV of the Scheme
will be calculated upto 4 decimals.
Illustration of computation of NAV:
Std obs 42
If the net assets of the Scheme are Rs.10,55,34,567.12 and units outstanding are
100,00,000, then the NAV per unit will be computed as follows:
10,55,34,567.12 / 100,00,000 = Rs. 10.5534 p.u. (rounded off to four decimals)
In accordance with SEBI (MF) Regulations, while determining the price of the units, the mutual fund shall
ensure that the repurchase price of the scheme is not lower than 97 per cent of the Net Asset Value.
For other details such as policies w.r.t computation of NAV, rounding off, investment in foreign securities,
procedure in case of delay in disclosure of NAV etc. refer to SAI.

B. RISK FACTORS
Std Obs 8
STANDARD RISK FACTORS – For Standard Risk Factors, kindly refer Statement of
Additional Information
SCHEM E SPECIFIC RISK FACTORS
Some of the scheme specific risk factors are included as below but are not limited to the following:
• Liquidity Risk: Trading in units of the scheme on the Exchange may be halted because of market
conditions or for reasons that in view of the Exchange authorities or SEBI, trading in units of the scheme
is not advisable. In addition, trading in units is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market
volatility and pursuant to Stock Exchange(s) and SEBI ''circuit filter'' rules as applicable from time to
time. There can be no assurance that the requirements of the exchange/s necessary to maintain the
listing of units of the scheme will continue to be met or will remain unchanged.
• Regulatory Risk: Any changes in trading regulations by the stock exchange (s) or SEBI may affect the
ability of Market Maker/ Large Investor to arbitrage resulting into wider premium/ discount to NAV.
Active Market: Although the scheme is proposed to be listed on exchange, there can be no assurance
that an active secondary market will be developed or maintained. The AMC and the Trustees will not
be liable for delay in trading of Units on Stock Exchange due to the occurrence of any event beyond
their control. For an investor in less than creation unit size, exchange quotes may not be always
available.
• Redemption Risk: Investors may note that even though this is an open ended scheme, the Scheme
would repurchase units in creation unit size only in case of direct transaction with AMC. Thus, if the unit
holding is less than the creation unit size then it can be sold only through the secondary market on the
exchange where the units are to be listed, subject to rules and regulations of the Stock Exchange. The
AMC will appoint Market Maker(s) to provide liquidity in secondary market on an ongoing basis. The
Market Maker(s) would offer daily two-way quote in the market.
• The market price of the ETF unit like any other listed security is largely dependent on two factors viz.
the intrinsic value of the unit (or NAV) and demand and supply of the units in the market. Sizeable
demand or supply of the units in exchange may lead to market price of the units to quote at premium or
discount to NAV. Hence, the units of the scheme may trade above or below the NAV. However, given
that the investors can transact with AMC directly beyond the creation unit size of the scheme there
should not be a significant variation (large premium or discount) and it may not sustain due to the
arbitrage opportunity available.
SCHEME INFORMATION DOCUMENT 23Aditya Birla Sun Life CRISIL Long Term Gilt ETF
• The scheme may not be able to acquire or sell the desired number of securities due to conditions
prevailing in the securities market, such as, but not restricted to circuit filters in the securities, liquidity
and volatility in security prices.
• The units of the Scheme will be compulsorily issued in dematerialised form through depositories. The
records of the depository are final with respect to the number of Units available to the credit of Unit
holder. Settlement of trades, repurchase of Units by the Mutual Fund will depend upon the confirmations
to be received from depository(ies) on which the Mutual Fund has no control. Further, Investors may
note that buying and selling units on stock exchange requires the investor to engage the services of a
broker and are subject to payment of margins as required by the stock exchange/ broker, payment of
brokerage, securities transactions tax and such other costs.
Risk Factors associated with investments in Fixed Income Securities:
• Price-Risk or Interest-Rate Risk: Fixed income securities such as bonds, debentures and money
market instruments run price-risk or interest-rate risk. Generally, when interest rates rise, prices of
existing fixed income securities fall and when interest rates drop, such prices increase. The extent of fall
or rise in the prices is a function of the existing coupon, days to maturity and the increase or decrease
in the level of interest rates.
• Credit Risk: In simple terms this risk means that the issuer of a debenture/ bond or a money market
instrument may default on interest payment or even in paying back the principal amount on maturity.
Even where no default occurs, the price of a security may go down because the credit rating of an issuer
goes down. It must, however, be noted that where the Scheme has invested in Government securities,
there is no credit risk to that extent.
• Liquidity or Marketability Risk: This refers to the ease with which a security can be sold at or near to
its valuation Yield-to-Maturity (YTM). The primary measure of liquidity risk is the spread between the bid
price and the offer price quoted by a dealer. Liquidity risk is today’s characteristic of the Indian fixed
income market.
• Reinvestment Risk: Investments in fixed income securities may carry reinvestment risk as interest rates
prevailing on the interest or maturity due dates may differ from the original coupon of the bond.
Consequently, the proceeds may get invested at a lower rate.
• Different types of securities in which the scheme would invest as given in the Scheme Information
Document carry different levels and types of risk. Accordingly, the scheme’s risk may increase or
decrease depending upon its investment pattern e.g. corporate bonds carry a higher amount of risk than
Government securities. Further even among corporate bonds, bonds, which are AA rated, are
comparatively more-risky than bonds, which are AAA rated.
• The above are some of the common risks associated with investments in fixed income and money market
securities. There can be no assurance that a Scheme’s investment objectives will be achieved, or that
there will be no loss of capital. Investment results may vary substantially on a monthly, quarterly or
annual basis.
Risk Factors associated with Listing of units:
• Listing of units of the scheme on stock exchange does not necessarily guarantee liquidity and there can
be no assurance that an active secondary market for the units will develop or be maintained.
• Trading in the units of the Scheme on the Exchange may be halted because of market conditions,
including any halt in the operations of Depository Participants or for reasons that in view of the Exchange
Authorities or SEBI, trading in the units is suspended and / or restricted. In addition, trading in units is
subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility and pursuant to stock exchange rules
of ‘circuit filter’. There can be no assurance that the requirements of Stock Exchange necessary to
maintain the listing of units of scheme will continue to be met or will remain unchanged.
• Further, the Scheme being listed on stock exchange, the investors wishing to redeem their units may do
so through stock exchange at prevailing listed price on such Stock Exchange.
• The Units of the scheme may trade above or below their face value / NAV. The NAV of the scheme will
fluctuate with changes in the market value of schemes holdings. The trading prices of units of the scheme
will fluctuate in accordance with changes in their NAV as well as market supply and demand which may
even lead the units to quote at significant premium or discount to NAV.
• Regulatory Risk: Any changes in trading regulations by the Stock Exchange or SEBI, inter alia, may also
result in wider premium/ discount to the NAV of the Scheme. Although the Units are proposed to be listed
on the Stock Exchange, the AMC and the Trustees will not be liable for any loss suffered by investors
due to delay in listing of units of the Scheme on the Stock Exchange or due to connectivity problems
with the depositories due to the occurrence of any event beyond their control.
SCHEME INFORMATION DOCUMENT 24Aditya Birla Sun Life CRISIL Long Term Gilt ETF
• As the units of the Scheme may be held in electronic (Demat) mode through depositories, the records
of the depository shall be final with respect to the number of units available to the credit of unitholder,
settlement of trades, redemption/, in lieu of such units held in electronic (demat) form, by the Mutual
Fund will depend upon the confirmations to be received from depository(ies) on which the Mutual Fund
has no control.
Risks Factors Associated with Creation of Segregated Portfolio:
Different types of securities in which the scheme would invest carry different levels and types of risk as given in
the Scheme Information Document of the scheme. In addition to the same, unitholders are requested to also
note the following risks with respect to Segregated Portfolio:
Liquidity Risk: A lower level of liquidity affecting an individual security (ies) or an entire market may have an
adverse bearing on the value of the Segregated Scheme's assets. This may more importantly affect the ability
to sell particular securities with minimal impact cost as and when necessary to meet requirement 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 of the investments. This may impact
the NAV of the segregated portfolio and could result into potential loss to the Unit holders.
Credit risk: The scheme's risk may increase or decrease depending upon its investment pattern. E.g. corporate
bonds carry a higher amount of risk than Government securities. Further even among corporate bonds, bonds,
which are AA rated, are comparatively more risky than bonds, which are AAA rated. Investment in unrated
securities may be riskier compared to investment in rated instruments due to non-availability of third party
assessment on the repayment capability of the issuer. As the securities are unrated, an independent opinion of
the rating agency on the repayment capability of the issuer will not be available. The issuer of a debenture/ bond
or a money market instrument may default on interest payment or even in paying back the principal amount on
maturity. Even where no default occurs, the price of a security may go down because the credit rating of an
issuer goes down. This may impact the NAV of the segregated portfolio and resultant loss to the Unit holders.
Listing of units: Listing of units of segregated portfolio in recognized stock exchange does not necessarily
guarantee their liquidity. There may not be active trading of units in the stock market. Further, trading price of
units on the stock market may be significantly lower than the prevailing NAV.
Std Obs 10
Tracking Error & Tracking Difference:
Tracking Error Risk:
The Fund Manager would not be able to invest the entire corpus exactly in the same proportion as in the
underlying index due to certain factors such as the fees and expenses of the Scheme, corporate actions,
cash balance and changes to the underlying index and regulatory restrictions, lack of liquidity which may
result in Tracking Error. Hence it may affect AMC’s ability to achieve close correlation with the underlying
index of the Scheme. The Scheme’s returns may therefore deviate from its underlying index. "Tracking Error"
is defined as the standard deviation of the difference between daily returns of the underlying index and the
NAV of the Scheme. The Fund Manager would monitor the Tracking Error of the Scheme on an ongoing
basis and would seek to minimize the Tracking Error to the maximum extent possible.
Tracking errors are inherent in ETFs and such errors may cause the scheme to generate returns which are
not in line with the performance of the CRISIL Long Term Gilt Index or one or more securities covered by /
included in the CRISIL Long Term Gilt Index and may arise from a variety of factors including but not limited
to:
1. Any delay in the purchase or sale of securities due to illiquidity in the market, settlement and realisation
of sales proceeds, delay in credit of securities, etc.
2. The index reflects the prices of securities at a point in time, which is the price at close of business day on
the stock exchange. The scheme, however, may trade the securities at different points in time during the
trading session and therefore the prices at which the scheme trades may not be identical to the closing
price of each scrip on that day on the respective stock exchange. In addition, the scheme may opt to
trade the same securities on different exchanges due to price or liquidity factors, which may also result in
traded prices being at variance from the closing price considered in the Index.
3. Aditya Birla Sun Life CRISIL Long Term Gilt ETF undertakes periodic reviews of the securities that are
represented in the CRISIL Long Term Gilt Index and from time to time may exclude existing securities or
include new ones. In such an event, the scheme will reallocate its portfolio to mirror the changes.
However, there allocation process may not occur instantaneously and may not permit precise mirroring
of the CRISIL Long Term Gilt Index during this period.
SCHEME INFORMATION DOCUMENT 25Aditya Birla Sun Life CRISIL Long Term Gilt ETF
4. The potential of trades to fail may result in the scheme not having acquired the security at the price
necessary to mirror the index.
5. Transaction and other expenses, such as but not limited to brokerage, custody, trustee and investment
management fees.
6. Being an open ended scheme, the scheme may hold appropriate levels of cash or cash equivalents to
meet on going redemptions.
7. The scheme may not be able to acquire or sell the desired number of securities due to conditions
prevailing in the securities market, such as, but not restricted to circuit filters in the securities, liquidity and
volatility in security prices.
The Scheme will disclose the tracking error based on past one year rolling data, on a daily basis, on the
website of AMC and AMFI. In case the Scheme has been in existence for a period of less than one year, the
annualized standard deviation shall be calculated based on available data.
Tracking Difference: The tracking difference i.e., the annualized difference of daily returns between the
index and the NAV of the Scheme will be disclosed on the website of the AMC and AMFI, on a monthly basis,
for tenures 1 year, 3 year, 5 year, 10 year and since the date of allotment of units.
The annualized tracking difference averaged over one year period shall not exceed 1.25%. In case the
average annualized tracking difference over one year period for the Scheme is higher than 1.25%, the same
will be brought to the notice of trustees with corrective actions taken by the AMC, if any.
C. RISK MITIGATION STRATEGIES Do’s 16
Std Obs 9
Credit risk (Risk associated with repayment of investment): The Scheme will invest in sovereign
securities as permitted under the Asset Allocation Pattern. These instruments are either sovereign rated
or bear low credit risk. Thus, this risk is mitigated to some extent.
Concentration risk (Risk arising due to over exposure in few securities): Index and the portfolio of the
scheme seek to be in compliance with the concentration norms laid out in SEBI Master Circular on Mutual
Funds dated June 27, 2024 which ensures that the concentration risk is mitigated. Since sovereign securities
have sovereign rating and sufficient liquidity, concentration risk is seldom.
Event risk (Price risk due to company or sector specific event): The Scheme will invest in gilt securities
as permitted under the Asset Allocation Pattern. Gilt instruments have little credit migration risk.
Performance risk (Risk arising due to change in factors affecting the market): The Scheme will be
passively managed and in accordance with the norms stipulated in SEBI Master Circular on Mutual
Funds dated June 27, 2024, in case of unavailability of issuances forming part of the index.
Tracking Error Risk: The Risk Mitigation strategy revolves around reducing the tracking error to the least
possible through regular rebalancing of the portfolio, taking into account the change in weights of securities
in the Underlying Index as well as the incremental inflows into / redemptions from the Scheme.
The Scheme being a passive investment carries lesser risk as compared to active fund management. The
portfolio would follow the index and therefore the level of constituent concentration in the portfolio and its
volatility would be the same as that of the index, subject to tracking errors. Thus, there would be no
additional element of volatility or concentration on account of fund manager decisions.
While these measures are expected to mitigate the above risks to a large extent, there can be no assurance
that these risks would be completely eliminated.
II. INFORMATION ABOUT THE SCHEME:
A. WHERE WILL THE SCHEME INVEST? Std Obs 29 Do’s 5
Subject to the Regulations, the corpus of the Scheme can be invested in any (but not exclusively) of the
following securities:
1. Government Securities

future date and price.
4. Triparty Repo (TREPS) –"Triparty repo" means a repo contract where a third entity (apart
from the borrower and lender), called a Tri-Party Agent, acts as an intermediary between the two
parties to the repo to facilitate services like collateral selection, payment and settlement, custody
and management during the life of the transaction. TREPS facilitates borrowing and lending of
funds, in Triparty Repo arrangement.

Generally, for instruments issued by a non-Government entity (corporate/PSU bonds), the yield is higher
than the yield on a Government Security with corresponding maturity. The difference, known as credit
spread, depends on various factors including the credit rating of the entity.
The securities mentioned above could be listed or to be listed, secured or unsecured, and of varying maturity,
as enabled under SEBI (MF) Regulations/circulars/ RBI. The securities may be acquired through Initial Public
Offerings (IPOs), secondary market operations, private placement, rights offers or negotiated deals.

D. INDEX METHODOLGY
43
• Features and Characteristics
SCHEME INFORMATION DOCUMENT 30Aditya Birla Sun Life CRISIL Long Term Gilt ETF
• The index seeks to capture the coupon and price returns of the underlying portfolio
• Index constituents valued on a daily basis using CRISIL Gilt Valuation
• Index weights rebalanced on the 1st business day of every month
• Key Characteristics
o The indices have been in existence over a decade witnessing multiple interest rate cycles and has stood
the test of time
o The indices seek to capture the movement in a portfolio consisting of most liquid government securities
by using appropriate market representation
o The indices constituents are valued on a daily basis. This lends the index a realistic approach by having
the valuations close to market levels.
Methodology:
• The index will consist of government securities analysed during previous two months with security
rebalancing on monthly basis. Each security is assigned a consistent liquidity score calculated basis:
o Volumes traded (70%)
o Days Traded (15%)
o Number of Trades (15%)
• The index consists of 8 securities with residual maturities greater than 10 years.
• The index also considers a buffer rank of 11 for securities which were present in the index in the previous
rebalance i.e., previous month but have a liquidity score lower than top 8 securities in the current month.
Such securities would continue to be the part of the index till they breach the buffer rank of 11
• The security ranked 1 would definitely form a part of the index
• If a security is a part of top 8 securities but has been ignored due to buffers for 2 consecutive months,
the same will be considered if it appears in top 8 for the 3rd month.
• Each security will be weighed based on amount outstanding.
Exclusions:
• Surrogate bonds (namely Food Corporation of India bonds, Oil bonds, Fertiliser bonds and UTI Special
Bonds), Sovereign Green Bonds and Floating rate bonds kept out of the purview of the selection process
since these are quasi government bonds.
• At reconstitution, an impact cost of 3 bps is incorporated to incoming and outgoing government securities
• Index constituents as on February 19, 2026:-
