As per SEBI Guidelines, the Scheme shall invest at least 65% of its AUM in companies which are reporting on comprehensive Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR) and are also providing assurance on BRSR core disclosures. The balance AUM of the Scheme can be invested in companies having BRSR disclosures. The Scheme may also invest a small portion of its corpus in debt, money market instruments and InvITs to manage its liquidity requirements. The Scheme will implement an active strategy to have a diversified portfolio focusing on investments in companies having leading performance on ESG factors. ESG assessment will be based on ESG ratings from a SEBI Registered third-party ESG ratings provider, and internal proprietary ESG analysis. Based on this ESG assessment, companies in each sector group will be ranked into deciles. The Scheme would consider investing in companies ranked from first to fifth decile in its sector group from the investment universe. The Scheme will avoid investing in companies that fail to meet fundamental obligations in the areas of human and labour rights, protecting the environment and ensuring anti-corruption safeguards. Companies involved in alcohol, tobacco, gambling, and high adverse environmental impact would be excluded. This is to enhance scheme’s risk management and avoid reputational, regulatory and stranded asset risk. After using ESG filter of top 5 decile in each sector group to define the potential investment universe, the following are the broad parameters/factors that shall be considered while building the portfolio of companies. a) business and economic fundamentals driven by in-depth research b) Reputation of the management and track record c) long term growth prospects d) The financial strength of the companies, as indicated by well recognised financial parameters employing strong stock selection valuation parameters e) any other factor affecting a company’s business prospects We may, from time to time, review and modify the Scheme’s investment strategy if such changes are in the best interests of the unitholders and if market conditions warrant it. Portfolio turnover Portfolio turnover is defined as lesser of purchases and sales as a percentage of the average corpus of the Scheme during a specified period of time. Portfolio turnover would depend upon the market conditions such as volatility of the market and inflows/outflows in the scheme. The Scheme is an open-ended Scheme with subscriptions and redemptions expected on a daily basis. Hence, it will be difficult to estimate the portfolio turnover with any reasonable amount of accuracy.

Separate NAVs will be calculated and announced for each of the Plan(s) & option(s) under the scheme. The NAVs will be rounded off up to 4 decimal places for the Scheme. The units will be allotted up to 3 decimal places. Valuation of the scheme’s assets, calculation of the scheme’s NAV and the accounting policies & standards will be subject to such norms and guidelines that SEBI may prescribe from time to time and shall be subject to audit on an annual basis. Repurchase/Redemption price for each Plan/Option will be calculated on the basis of Applicable NAV and Exit load, if any. The Repurchase/Redemption Price per Unit will be calculated using the following formula: Repurchase/Redemption Price = Applicable NAV *(1 – Exit Load, if any) Example 1: If the applicable NAV is Rs. 10, exit load is 2%, then repurchase/ redemption price will be: Rs. 10* (1-0.02) = Rs. 9.80. Example 2: If the applicable NAV is Rs. 10, exit load is Nil, then repurchase/ redemption price will be: Rs. 10* (1-0) = Rs. 10. Pursuant to Regulation 49 (3) the repurchase Price of the units of an open ended scheme will not be lower than 97% of the NAV. Any imposition or enhancement of Load in future shall be applicable on prospective investments only 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, kindly refer SAI.

INTRODUCTION A. DEFINITION/INTERPRETATION: Investors may refer to https://www.barodabnpparibasmf.in/assets/pdf/Definitions.pdf for definitions/interpretations. B. RISK FACTORS Scheme Specific Risk Factors Risks associated with ESG theme • The Scheme is thematic in nature. Investing in this Scheme is based on the premise that the Scheme will seek to invest predominantly in companies belonging to ESG theme. This may limit the capability of the Scheme to invest in other companies/themes. • Being thematic in nature, the Scheme will be affected by the risks associated with the investment in companies with ESG theme. Further, the volatility and/or adverse performance of companies with ESG theme would have a material adverse bearing on the performance of this Scheme. • Investment in this Scheme carries the risk regarding non-diversification of the portfolio due to the investment universe mainly limited to companies with ESG theme and hence, the scope for diversification could be limited at times and the concentration is expected to be high in companies belonging to ESG theme. • ESG integration approach may be implemented in a different way by AMCs when setting investment objectives for ESG themed schemes. This means that it may be difficult to compare strategies integrating ESG criteria to the extent that the selection and weightings applied to select investments may be based on metrics that may share the same or similar name but have different underlying meanings. • In evaluating a security based on the ESG criteria, the AMC would use SEBI registered ESG Rating Provider to provide external ESG rating and related research. Given the evolving nature of the ESG theme, these data sources may for the time being be incomplete, inaccurate, unavailable or updated. Applying ESG criteria as well as norm and sector based responsible investing criteria in the investment process may lead to the exclusion of securities of certain issuers. Consequently, the scheme's financial performance may at times be better or worse than the performance of relatable schemes that do not apply such standards. • In addition, the proprietary methodologies used to take into account ESG criteria may be subject to reviews in the event of regulatory developments or updates that may lead, in accordance with the applicable regulations, to the increase or decrease of the classification of schemes, of the indicators used or of the minimum investment commitment levels set. The other Scheme specific risk factors are summarized as follows: Market Risk: Baroda BNP Paribas ESG Best-in-Class Strategy Fund 26SCHEME INFORMATION DOCUMENT All mutual funds and securities investments are subject to market risk and there can be no assurance / guarantee that the scheme’s objectives will be achieved. The securities that the scheme invests in would be exposed to price changes on a day-to-day basis. These price changes may occur due to instrument- specific factors as well as general macroeconomic conditions. Markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market or economic developments. The scheme may be subject to price volatility due to factors such as interest sensitivity, market perception, and creditworthiness of issuer and market liquidity. Different parts of the market can react differently to these developments. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. Risks associated with Equity shares and equity related instruments: Investments in equity and equity related instruments are volatile and prone to price fluctuations on a daily basis. The impact of fluctuations is likely to be accentuated for short-term investments. The risk that the performance of one or more companies declines or stagnates may have a negative impact on the performance of the Scheme as a whole at any given time. Investments in equity and equity related instruments involve a degree of risk and investors should not invest in the Scheme unless they can afford to take the risks. Equity and Equity Related Instruments listed on the stock exchange carry lower liquidity risk however the Scheme’s ability to sell these investments is limited by the overall trading volume on the stock exchanges. In certain cases, settlement periods may be extended significantly by unforeseen circumstances. The inability of the Scheme to make intended securities purchases due to settlement problems could cause the Scheme to miss certain investment opportunities. Similarly, the inability to sell securities held in the Scheme’s portfolio may result, at times, in potential losses to the Scheme, should there be a subsequent decline in the value of securities held in the Scheme's portfolio. Risks associated with investments in Fixed Income Securities • Credit and Counterparty risk: Credit risk or default risk refers to the risk that an issuer of a fixed income security may default (i.e., will be unable to make timely principal and interest payments on the security or honor its contractual obligations). Counterparty risk refers to the counterparty’s inability to honor its commitments (payment, delivery, repayment, etc.) and to risk of default. This risk relates to the quality of the counterparty to which the scheme has exposures. Losses can occur in particular for the settlement/delivery of financial instruments or the conclusion of financial derivatives contracts. The value of a fixed income security will fluctuate depending upon the changes in the perceived level of credit and counterparty risk as well as any actual event of default. Changes in financial conditions of an issuer, changes in economic and political conditions in general, or changes in economic or and political conditions specific to an issuer, all of which are factors that may have an adverse impact on an issuer's credit quality and security value. • Liquidity Risk: The liquidity of the scheme’s investment is inherently restricted by trading volumes in the securities in which the scheme invests. A lower level of liquidity affecting an individual security or an entire market at the same time, may have an adverse bearing on the value of the scheme’s assets. More importantly, this may affect the Fund’s ability to sell particular securities quickly enough to minimise impact cost, as and when necessary to meet requirements 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 or all of the investments and may affect the liquidity of the investments of the scheme. Baroda BNP Paribas ESG Best-in-Class Strategy Fund 27SCHEME INFORMATION DOCUMENT The scheme may be unable to implement purchase or sale decisions when the markets turn illiquid, missing some investment opportunities or limiting ability to face redemptions. The lack of liquidity could also lead to the risk that the sale price of a security could be substantially lower than the fair value of the security. • Interest Rate Risk & Re-investment Risk: The value of an investment may be affected by interest rate fluctuations. Interest rates may be influenced by several elements or events, such as monetary policy, the discount rate, inflation, etc. The value of debt and fixed income securities held by the Scheme generally will vary inversely with the changes in prevailing interest rates. In general, price of debt and fixed income securities go up when interest rates fall, and vice versa. Securities of any issuer that has higher duration could be riskier in terms of price movements relative to those with lower duration. Thus, any impact of interest rate changes would be higher on securities with higher duration irrespective of the status of the issuer of the security. The investments made by the Scheme are subject to reinvestment risk. This risk refers to the interest rate levels at which cash flows received from the securities in the Scheme are reinvested. The additional income from reinvestment is the “interest on interest” component. The risk is that the rate at which interim cash flows can be reinvested may be lower than that originally assumed. • Sovereign risk: The Central Government of India is the issuer of the local currency debt in India. The Government raises money to meet its capital and revenue expenditure by issuing debt or discounted securities. Since payment of interest and principal amount has a sovereign status implying least probability of a default, such securities are known as securities with sovereign credit. It also implies that the credit risk on such Government securities is even lower than that on non-government securities with "AAA" rating and hence yields on government securities are even lower than yields on non-government securities with "AAA" rating. • Concentration Risk: The Scheme may pursue only a limited degree of diversification. It may invest in a limited number of securities or invest a greater proportion of assets in the securities of very few issuers (within the limits permitted by regulation) or be concentrated on a few market sectors as compared to a diversified scheme. The scheme is also expected to have higher market liquidity risk on account of concentration. This could have implications on the performance of the scheme. The scheme may be more sensitive to economic, business, political or other changes and this may lead to sizeable fluctuation in the Net Asset Value of the scheme. Risk factors specific to investments in foreign securities: The Scheme may invest in Foreign Securities including overseas equities / ADRs / GDRs with the approval of RBI/SEBI, subject to such guidelines as may be issued by RBI/SEBI. The net assets, distributions and income of the Scheme may be affected adversely by fluctuations in the value of certain foreign currencies relative to the Indian Rupee to the extent of investments in these securities. Repatriation of such investment may also be affected by changes in the regulatory and political environments. Market risks can be greater with respect to political instability, lack of complete or reliable information, market irregularities or high taxation. The Scheme’s NAV may also be affected by a fluctuation in the general and specific level of interest rates internationally, or the change in the credit profiles of the issuers. The liquidation of securities where investments will be made by the schemes shall be subject to the liquidity / settlement issues of the country of investment / settlement. Non-business days in country of investment / settlement may impact the liquidity of the scheme investments. The Scheme may, where necessary, appoint advisor(s) for providing advisory services for such investments. The appointment of such advisor(s) shall be in accordance with the applicable requirements of SEBI. The fees and expenses would illustratively include, besides the investment management fees, custody fees and Baroda BNP Paribas ESG Best-in-Class Strategy Fund 28SCHEME INFORMATION DOCUMENT costs, transaction costs and overseas regulatory costs, the fees of appointed advisor(s). The fees related to these services would be borne by the AMC and would not be charged to the Scheme. Risk Factors associated with investing in Securities Segment and Tri-party Repo trade settlement: The Mutual Fund is a member of securities segment and Triparty Repo trade settlement of the Clearing Corporation of India (CCIL). All transactions of the mutual fund in government securities and in Tri-party Repo trades are settled centrally through the infrastructure and settlement systems provided by CCIL; thus, reducing the settlement and counterparty risks considerably for transactions in the said segments. The members are required to contribute an amount as communicated by CCIL from time to time to the default fund maintained by CCIL as a part of the default waterfall (a loss mitigating measure of CCIL in case of default by any member in settling transactions routed through CCIL). As per the waterfall mechanism, after the defaulter’s margins and the defaulter’s contribution to the default fund have been appropriated, CCIL’s contribution is used to meet the losses. Post utilization of CCIL’s contribution if there is a residual loss, it is appropriated from the default fund contributions of the non-defaulting members. Thus, the Scheme is subject to risk of the initial margin and default fund contribution being invoked in the event of failure of any settlement obligations. In addition, the fund contribution is allowed to be used to meet the residual loss in case of default by the other clearing member (the defaulting member). CCIL shall maintain two separate Default Funds in respect of its Securities Segment, one with a view to meet losses arising out of any default by its members from outright and repo trades and the other for meeting losses arising out of any default by its members from Triparty Repo trades. The mutual fund is exposed to the extent of its contribution to the default fund of CCIL, in the event that the contribution of the mutual fund is called upon to absorb settlement/ default losses of another member by CCIL, as a result the Scheme may lose an amount equivalent to its contribution to the default fund. Risks associated with Derivatives The Scheme may use various derivative instruments and techniques, permitted within SEBI (MF) Regulations from time to time including but not limited for portfolio balancing and hedging purpose, which may increase the volatility of Scheme’s performance. Usage of derivatives will expose the Scheme to certain risks inherent to such derivatives. Derivative products are specialized instruments and can provide disproportionate gains as well as disproportionate losses to the investor. Execution of such strategies depends upon the ability of the fund manager to identify such opportunities. Identification and execution of the strategies to be pursued by the fund manager involve uncertainty and decision of fund manager may not always be profitable. No assurance can be given that the fund manager will be able to identify or execute such strategies. The risks associated with the use of derivatives are different from or possibly greater than the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. The use of a derivative requires an understanding not only of the underlying instrument but also of the derivative itself. There is a possibility that a loss may be sustained by the Scheme as a result of the failure of another party (usually referred to as the “counterparty”) to comply with the terms of the derivatives contract. Other risks in using derivatives include the risk of mispricing or improper valuation of derivatives and the inability of derivatives to correlate perfectly with underlying assets, interest rates and indices. Even a small price movement in the underlying instrument could have a large impact on their value. This could increase the volatility of the Scheme’s performance. In case of hedge, it is possible that derivative positions may not be perfectly in line with the underlying assets they are hedging. As a consequence, the derivative cannot be expected to perfectly hedge the risk of the underlying assets. This also increases the volatility of the Scheme’s performance. Baroda BNP Paribas ESG Best-in-Class Strategy Fund 29SCHEME INFORMATION DOCUMENT Some of the risks inherent to derivatives investments include: 1. Price Risk: Despite the risk mitigation provided by various derivative instruments, there remains an inherent price risk which may result in losses exceeding actual underlying. 2. Default Risk: This is the risk that losses will be incurred due to default by counter party. This is also known as credit risk or counterparty risk. 3. Basis Risk: This risk arises when the derivative instrument used to hedge the underlying asset does not match the movement of the underlying being hedged for e.g., mismatch between the maturity date of the futures and the actual selling date of the asset. 4. Limitations on upside: Derivatives when used as hedging tool can also limit the profits from a genuine investment transaction. 5. Liquidity risk: This risk pertains to how saleable a security is in the market. All securities/instruments irrespective of whether they are equity, bonds or derivatives may be exposed to liquidity risk (when the sellers outnumber buyers) which may impact returns while exiting opportunities. 6. Execution Risk: The prices which are seen on the screen need not be the same at which execution will take place. Risk associated with investment in ETF: • ETFs are typically designed to track the performance of certain indices, market sectors or groups of assets such as stocks, bonds or commodities. ETF managers may use different strategies to achieve this goal but in general they do not have the discretion to take defensive positions in declining markets. Investors must be prepared to bear the risk of loss and volatility associated with the underlying index/assets. • Investments in the securities constituting the Index/commodities are subject to price fluctuation on daily basis. The volatility in the value of those securities is due to various micro and macroeconomic factors like economic and political developments, changes in interest rates, etc. affecting the securities markets. This may have adverse impact on the NAV of Scheme • The units of the Scheme are to be listed on stock exchanges. However, there can be no assurance that an active secondary market will develop or be maintained. • Listing and trading of the ETF is undertaken on the Stock Exchanges within the rules, regulation and policy of the Stock Exchange and Regulator. Any change in trading rules, regulation and policy by the regulatory authority would have a bearing on the trading of the units of the ETF and its prices. • Trading in units of the Scheme on the exchange may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that in view of the stock exchange or SEBI, trading in the units of the Scheme is not advisable. In addition, trading in units of the scheme is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility and pursuant to BSE/NSE and SEBI circuit filter rules. There can be no assurance that the requirements of the market necessary to maintain the listing of units of the Scheme will continue to be met or will remain unchanged. • Units of the scheme may trade above or below its NAV. The NAV of the scheme will fluctuate with changes in the market value of scheme’s portfolio. The trading price of units of the Scheme will change in according with changes in its NAV as well as market supply and demand of units in the scheme. However, given the fact that units of the scheme can be created or redeemed in creation unit directly with the fund, large discounts or premiums to the NAV are not expected to sustain due to the arbitrage opportunity available. • Any changes in trading regulations by the stock exchange/s or SEBI may affect the ability of the market maker to arbitrage resulting into wider premium/discount to NAV. Although the units are listed on the stock exchanges, the AMC and the Trustee will not be liable for delay in listing of Baroda BNP Paribas ESG Best-in-Class Strategy Fund 30SCHEME INFORMATION DOCUMENT Units of the scheme on the stock exchanges / or due to the connectivity problems with depositories and/or due to the occurrence of any event beyond their control. Risk factors associated with repo transactions in corporate bonds The Scheme may be exposed to counterparty risk in case of repo lending transactions in the event of the counterparty failing to honour the repurchase agreement. However, in repo transactions, the collateral may be sold, and a loss is realized only if the sale price is less than the repo amount. Risks associated with Short Selling The Scheme may enter into short selling transactions, subject to SEBI and RBI Regulations. Short positions carry the risk of losing money and these losses may grow unlimited theoretically if the price of the stock increases without any limit. This may result in major loss to the Scheme. At times, the participants may not be able to cover their short positions, if the price increases substantially. If numbers of short sellers try to cover their position simultaneously, it may lead to disorderly trading in the stock and thereby can briskly escalate the price even further making it difficult or impossible to liquidate short position quickly at reasonable prices. In addition, short selling also carries the risk of inability to borrow the security by the participants thereby requiring the participants to purchase the securities sold short to cover the position even at unreasonable prices. Risks associated with Securities Lending Securities Lending is lending of securities through an approved intermediary to a borrower under an agreement for a specified period with the condition that the borrower will return equivalent securities of the same type or class at the end of the specified period along with the corporate benefits accruing on the securities borrowed. The risks in lending portfolio securities, as with other extensions of credit, consist of the failure of another party, in this case the approved intermediary, to comply with the terms of agreement entered into between the lender of securities i.e., the Scheme and the approved intermediary. Such failure to comply can result in a possible loss of rights to the collateral put up by the borrower of the securities, the inability of the approved intermediary to return the securities deposited by the lender and the possible loss of corporate benefits accruing to the lender from the securities deposited with the approved intermediary. The Mutual Fund may not be able to sell such lent securities, and this can lead to temporary illiquidity. Risks associated with investing in mutual fund units: To the extent of the investments in units of mutual funds, the risks associated with investing in such funds like market risk, credit & default risk, liquidity risk, redemption risk including the possible loss of principal; etc. will exist. Risk associated with Investments in REITs and InvITs Price-Risk or Interest-Rate Risk: REITs & InvITs run price-risk or interest-rate risk. Generally, when interest rates rise, prices of existing 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. REITs & InvITs are likely to have volatile cash flows as the repayment dates would not necessarily be prescheduled. 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 Baroda BNP Paribas ESG Best-in-Class Strategy Fund 31SCHEME INFORMATION DOCUMENT price and the offer price quoted by a dealer. As these products are new to the market, they are likely to be exposed to liquidity risk. Reinvestment Risk: Investments in REITs & InvITs 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. Risk of lower-than-expected distributions: The distributions by the REIT or InvIT will be based on the net cash flows available for distribution. The amount of cash available for distribution principally depends upon the amount of cash that the REIT/ InvITs receives as dividends or the interest and principal payments from portfolio assets. The above are some of the common risks associated with investments in REITs & InvITs. There can be no assurance that 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. Risks associated with Segregated Portfolio a) Investor holding units of segregated portfolio may not be able to liquidate their holding till the time recovery of money from the issuer. b) Security(ies) held in segregated portfolio may not realize any value. c) 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 Risks associated with investing in securitised debt: The scheme may invest in domestic securitized debt such as asset backed securities (ABS) or mortgage- backed securities (MBS). ABS means securitized debts wherein the underlying assets are receivables arising from personal loans, automobile loans, etc. MBS means securitized debts wherein the underlying assets are receivables arising from loans backed by mortgage of properties which can be residential or commercial in nature. ABS / MBS instruments reflect the undivided interest in the underlying of assets and do not represent the obligation of the issuer of ABS / MBS or the originator of the underlying receivables. The ABS / MBS holders have a limited recourse to the extent of credit enhancement provided. Securitized debt may suffer credit losses in the event of the delinquencies and credit losses in the underlying pool exceeding the credit enhancement provided. As compared to the normal corporate or sovereign debt, securitized debt is normally exposed to a higher level of reinvestment risk. Risks for writing covered call options for equity shares: • Writing call options are highly specialized activities and entail higher than ordinary investment risks. In such investment strategy, the profits from call option writing are capped at the option premium, however the downside depends upon the increase in value of the underlying equity shares. Being a covered call, the downside risk is not unlimited, but limited to the extent of change in the price of underlying security held by the Fund. • The Scheme may write covered call option only in case it has adequate number of underlying equity shares as per regulatory requirement. This would lead to setting aside a portion of investment in underlying equity shares. If covered call options are sold to the maximum extent allowed by regulatory authority, the Scheme may not be able to sell the underlying equity shares immediately if the view changes to sell and exit the stock. The covered call options need to be unwound before the stock positions can be liquidated. This may lead to a loss of opportunity or can cause exit issues if the strike price at which the call option contracts have been written become illiquid. Hence, the Scheme may not be able to sell the underlying equity shares, which can lead to temporary illiquidity of the underlying equity shares and result in loss of opportunity. Baroda BNP Paribas ESG Best-in-Class Strategy Fund 32SCHEME INFORMATION DOCUMENT • The writing of covered call option would lead to loss of opportunity due to appreciation in value of the underlying equity shares. Hence, when the appreciation in equity share price is more than the option premium received, the Scheme would be at a loss. • The total gross exposure related to option premium paid and received shall not exceed the regulatory limits of the net assets of the scheme. Writing Options • Benefits of writing an option with underlying stock holding (Covered call writing strategy) The covered call strategy can be followed by the Fund Manager in order to hedge risk thereby resulting in better risk adjusted returns of the Scheme. The strategy offers the following benefits: a) Hedge against market risk - Since the fund manager sells a call option on a stock already owned by the mutual fund scheme, the downside from fall in the stock price would be lower to the extent of the premium earned from the call option. b) Generating additional returns in the form of option premium in a range bound market. Thus, a covered call strategy involves gains for unit holders in case the strategy plays out in the right direction. Illustration Illustration - Covered Call strategy using stock call options: Suppose a fund manager buys equity stock of XYZ Ltd. For Rs. 1000 and simultaneously sells a call option on the same stock at a strike price of Rs. 1100. The scheme earns a premium of say, Rs. 50. Here, the fund manager does not think that the stock price will exceed Rs. 1100. Scenario 1: Stock price exceeds Rs. 1100 The call option will get exercised and the fund manager will sell the stock to settle his obligation on the call at Rs.1100 (earning Rs. 100, a return of 10% on the stock purchase price). Also, the scheme has earned a premium of Rs. 50 Net Gain - Rs. 150 (100+50) Scenario 2: Stock prices stays below Rs. 1100 The call option will not get exercised and will expire worthless. The premium earned on call option will generate alpha for the scheme. Net Gain - Rs. 50 • Writing of call option (under the covered call strategy) can be undertaken subject to the following conditions: 1. The Scheme may write call options only under a covered call strategy for constituent stocks of NIFTY 50 and BSE SENSEX. 2. The total notional value (taking into account strike price as well as premium value) of call options written by the Scheme shall not exceed 15% of the total market value of equity shares held in the Scheme. In case of any passive breaches, the Scheme shall have 7 trading days to rebalance the portfolio. During the rebalancing period, no additional call options can be written in the Scheme. 3. The total number of shares underlying the call options written shall not exceed 30% of the unencumbered shares of a particular company held in the Scheme. The unencumbered shares in a scheme shall mean shares that are not part of Securities Lending and Borrowing Mechanism (SLBM), margin or any other kind of encumbrances. 4. In no case, the Scheme shall write a call option without holding the underlying equity shares. A call option can be written only on shares which are not hedged using other derivative contracts. 5. The premium received shall be within the requirements prescribed in terms of para 12.25.8 of SEBI Master Circular No. SEBI/HO/IMD/IMD-PoD-1/P/CIR/2023/90 dated June 27, 2024 i.e. the total gross exposure related to option premium paid and received must not exceed 20% of the net assets of the Scheme. Baroda BNP Paribas ESG Best-in-Class Strategy Fund 33SCHEME INFORMATION DOCUMENT 6. The call option written shall be marked to market daily and the respective gains or losses factored into the daily NAV of the respective scheme(s) until the position is closed or expired. Other Risks:  Risk associated with inflation: Over time, yields of short-term investments may not keep pace with inflation, leading to a reduction in an investment’s purchasing power.  Legal risk: The scheme may be affected by the actions of government and regulatory bodies. Legislation could be imposed retrospectively or may be issued in the form of internal regulations which the public may not be aware of. Legislation (including legislation relating to tax) or regulation may be introduced which inhibits the scheme from pursuing their strategies or which renders an existing strategy less profitable than anticipated. Such actions may take any form, for example nationalization of any institution or restrictions on investment strategies in any given market sector or changing requirements and imposed without prior warning by any regulator.  Taxation risk: The value of an investment may be affected by the application of tax laws, including withholding tax, or changes in government or economic or monetary policy from time to time. As such, no guarantee can be given that the financial objectives will actually be achieved. The tax information described in this Scheme Information Document (SID) is as available under the prevailing taxation laws. This could be changed at any moment by regulation. Further, there can be no guarantee that the tax position or the proposed tax position prevailing at the time of an investment in the scheme will endure indefinitely.  Valuation risk: This risk relates to the fact that markets, in specific situations and due to lack of volumes of transactions, do not enable an accurate assessment of the fair value of invested assets. In such cases, valuation risk represents the possibility that, when a financial instrument matures or is sold in the market, the amount received is less than anticipated, incurring a loss to the portfolio and therefore impacting negatively the NAV of the scheme.  Operational Risk: Operational risk addresses the risk of trading and back office or administration issues that may result in a loss to the Scheme. This could be the result of oversight, ineffective securities processing procedures, computer systems problems or human error. There could also be risk associated with grouping of orders. For instance, at the time of placing the trades, the fund manager shall group orders on behalf of all schemes managed by him, provided it is unlikely to be detrimental overall for any of the schemes whose orders have been included. However, such grouping may have a detrimental effect to the scheme compared to the execution of an individual order for the scheme. Risks Factors associated with transaction in Units through stock exchange(s): In respect of transaction in Units of the Scheme through BSE and / or NSE, allotment and redemption of Units on any Business Day will depend upon the order processing / settlement by BSE and / or NSE and their respective clearing corporations on which the Fund has no control. C. RISK MITIGATION STRATEGIES Risk Mitigation measures for investments in equity / equity related instruments • The Scheme aims to maintain a well-diversified equity portfolio comprising stocks and across other sectors of the economy, as per asset allocation pattern, so as to maintain optimum diversification. This shall aid in managing concentration risk and sector specific risks. • The Scheme will maintain a portfolio diversified across a large number of companies. Exposure to individual companies would be in accordance with the risk management and regulatory limits. This diversified portfolio would aid in managing volatility and also improve liquidity of the portfolio. • Market risk is inherent to an equity scheme. The Scheme may use derivatives to limit this risk. Baroda BNP Paribas ESG Best-in-Class Strategy Fund 34SCHEME INFORMATION DOCUMENT • As such, the liquidity of stocks that the Scheme invests into could be relatively low. The Scheme will try to maintain a proper asset-liability match to ensure redemption / maturity payments are made on time and not affected by illiquidity of the underlying stocks. Risk Mitigation measures for investments in debt instruments The investments in debt and Money Market instruments would be undertaken after assessing the associated credit risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. The AMC shall undertake credit evaluation of each investment opportunity and invest in rated papers of companies having a sound background, strong fundamentals and quality of management and financial strength. In addition, the Scheme would endeavor to invest in instruments with a relatively higher liquidity, and will seek to manage the duration of the debt assets on proactive basis to manage interest rate risk and to optimize returns. Reinvestment risks will be limited to the extent of coupons received on debt instruments, which will be a very small portion of the portfolio value. The Scheme may also use various derivatives and hedging products from time to time, as would be available and permitted by SEBI/RBI for the purpose of hedging and portfolio rebalancing. The above risk control measures shall be implemented by the AMC on best effort basis however there can be no guarantee that such measures can completely mitigate the risks involved in Scheme. Risk control measures Investments made by the Scheme would be in accordance with the investment objective of the Scheme and the provisions of the SEBI (MF) Regulations. Since investing requires disciplined risk management, the AMC would incorporate adequate safeguards for controlling risks in the portfolio construction process. While allocating and choosing securities, the Investment Manager will aim to diversify by gaining broad exposure to different industries and companies in order to reduce risk.

Position of debt & money market in India The Indian debt market is today one of the largest in Asia and includes securities issued by the Government (Central & State Governments), public sector undertakings, other government bodies, financial institutions, banks and corporates. Government and public sector enterprises are the predominant borrowers in the markets. The major players in the Indian debt markets today are banks, financial institutions, mutual funds, insurance companies, primary dealers, trusts, pension funds and corporates. The Indian debt market is the largest segment of the Indian financial markets. The debt market comprises broadly two segments, viz. Government Securities market or G-Sec market and corporate debt market. The latter is further classified as market for PSU bonds and private sector bonds. The G-Sec market is the oldest and the largest component of the Indian debt market in terms of market capitalization, outstanding securities and trading volumes. The G-Sec market plays a vital role in the Indian economy as it provides the benchmark for determining the level of interest rates in the country through the yields on the Government Securities which are referred to as the risk-free rate of return in any economy. Over the years, there have been new products introduced by the RBI like zero coupon bonds, floating rate bonds, inflation indexed bonds, etc. The corporate bond market, in the sense of private corporate sector raising debt through public issuance in capital market, is only an insignificant part of the Indian Debt Market. A large part of the issuance in the non-Government debt market is currently on private placement basis. The money markets in India essentially consist of the call money market (i.e. market for overnight and term money between banks and institutions), repo transactions (temporary sale with an agreement to buy back the securities at a future date at a specified price), commercial papers (CPs, short term unsecured promissory notes, generally issued by corporates), certificate of deposits (CDs, issued by banks) and Treasury Bills (issued by RBI). In a predominantly institutional market, the key money market players are banks, financial institutions, insurance companies, mutual funds, primary dealers and corporates. In money market, activity levels of the Government and nongovernment debt vary from time to time. Instruments that comprise a major portion of money market activity include but not limited to: • Overnight Call • Tri-party repo on Government Securities or treasury bills (TREPS). • Repo/Reverse Repo Agreement • Treasury Bills • Government securities • Commercial Paper • Certificate of Deposit Apart from these, there are some other options available for short tenure investments that include MIBOR linked debentures with periodic exit options and other such instruments. Though not strictly classified as money market instruments, PSU / DFI / corporate paper with a residual maturity of < 1 year, are actively Baroda BNP Paribas ESG Best-in-Class Strategy Fund 37SCHEME INFORMATION DOCUMENT traded and offer a viable investment option. The market has evolved in past 2-3 years in terms of risk premia attached to different class of issuers. Bank CDs have clearly emerged as popular asset class with increased acceptability in secondary market. PSU banks trade the tightest on the back of comfort from majority government holding. Highly rated manufacturing companies also command premium on account of limited supply. However, there has been increased activity in papers issued by private/foreign banks/NBFCs/companies in high-growth sector due to higher yields offered by them. Even though companies across these sectors might have been rated on a same scale, the difference in the yield on the papers for similar maturities reflects the perception of their respective credit profiles. Current yield as on October 27, 2025 (% per Instruments annum) TREPS 5.45-5.55 3M T-Bill 5.40-5.50 1 Y T-Bill 5.55-5.60 10 Y G Sec 6.50-6.55 3M PSU Bank CD 5.95-6.05 3M NBFC CP 6.40-6.50 1 Y PSU Bank CD 6.40-6.50 1 Y NBFC CP 6.80-6.90 1Y Manufacturing Company CP 6.50-6.60 5 Y AAA Institutional Bond 6.75-6.80 10 Y AAA Institutional Bond 7.05-7.10 These yields are indicative and do not indicate yields that may be obtained in future as interest rates keep changing consequent to changes in macro-economic conditions and RBI policy. The price and yield on various debt instruments fluctuate from time to time depending upon the macro-economic situation, inflation rate, overall liquidity position, foreign exchange scenario etc. Also, the price and yield vary according to maturity profile, credit risk etc. Trading In Derivatives The Scheme intend to use derivatives for the purposes, which may be permitted by SEBI (MF) Regulations, from time to time, which will include hedging & portfolio balancing.
