The Std. Scheme may also invest a certain portion of its corpus in money market Obs. 8 instruments. Hence scheme specific risk factors of Edelweiss Gold ETF will be applicable. Investors who intend to invest in the Scheme are required to and deemed to have understood the risk factors of the underlying schemes. The fund will subscribe according to the value equivalent to unit creation size as applicable for Edelweiss Gold ETF. When subscriptions received are not adequate to invest in creation unit size, the subscriptions may be deployed as defined in the SID which will have a different return profile compared to Gold returns profile. Alternatively, the ETF units may be acquired from the stock exchanges where the price quoted may be at variance with the underlying NAV, and which may result in higher acquisition cost. The fund assets will predominantly be invested in Edelweiss Gold ETF and valued at the market price of the said units on the principal exchange. The same may be at a variance to the underlying NAV of the fund, due to market expectations, demand supply of the units, etc. To that extent the performance of scheme shall be at variance with that of the underlying scheme. Risk associated with Fund of Fund: • The Scheme’s performance will predominantly depend upon the performance of the Underlying ETF • Any change in the investment policy or the fundamental attributes of the Underlying ETF in which the Scheme invests may affect the performance of the Scheme. • Dependence on the Investment Manager of the underlying ETF: The success of the underlying ETF depends on the ability of the respective Investment Manager to implement investment strategies that achieve their investment objective • In addition to the recurring expenses of the Scheme, the Unit Holders shall also bear the applicable expenses of the underlying ETF. Therefore, the returns that the Unit Holder of the Scheme may receive may be impacted or may, at times, be lower than the returns that a Unit Holder, who is directly investing in the same underlying ETF, could obtain. Risks associated with investment in Sectoral / thematic fund: Any sectoral or thematic fund will seek to invest in underlying investments belonging to a defined sector or the theme. Investors need to understand that a specific sector/theme may not achieve desired result / growth and may also experience unexpected changes adversely affecting the performance, thus investing in a sectoral /thematic fund could involve potentially higher volatility and risk. Further the fund would be restricted to invest in underlying investments from 18the defined sectors/themes and thus the concentration risk is also expected to be high. Settlement Risk: The inability of the Scheme to make intended securities purchases due to settlement problems could cause the Scheme to miss certain investment opportunities as in certain cases, settlement periods may be extended significantly by unforeseen circumstances. Similarly, the inability to sell securities held in the Scheme portfolio may result, at times, in potential losses to the Scheme, and there can be a subsequent decline in the value of the securities held in the Scheme’s portfolio. Regulatory Risk: Changes in government policy in general and changes in tax benefits applicable to Mutual Funds may impact the returns to investors in the Scheme. • Redemption Risk: The Scheme at times may receive large number of redemption requests, leading to an asset liability mismatch and therefore, requiring the investment manager to make a distress sale of the securities leading to realignment of the portfolio and consequently resulting in investment in lower yield instruments. Right to Limit Redemptions: The Trustee, in the general interest of the Unit holders of the Scheme offered in this Document and keeping in view the unforeseen circumstances / unusual market conditions, may limit the total number of Units which can be redeemed on any Business Day. The same shall be in accordance with paragraph 1.12 of the Master Circular. Risks associated with underlying scheme (Edelweiss Gold ETF): • Passive Management of Investments: The Scheme shall follow a passive investment strategy. The scheme shall invest in Gold regardless of their investment merit. The scheme does not aim to take any defensive position in case of falling markets. • 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. • 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. • Redemption Risk: The AMC will appoint Market Maker(s) (Aps)/ Market Makers (MMs) to provide liquidity for the units of Gold ETFs in secondary market on an ongoing basis. The Market Maker(s) would offer daily two-way 19quote (buy and sell quotes) in the market. Further, the price received upon redemption of units may be less than the value of the Gold represented by them. • Regulatory change: Any changes in trading regulations by the Stock Exchange(s) or SEBI may affect the ability of market maker to arbitrage resulting into wider premium / discount to NAV. The Units of the Scheme may trade above or below their NAV. The NAV of the Scheme will fluctuate with changes in the market value of Scheme’s 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 for the Units of the Scheme. • Settlement: The Units will be issued only in demat 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 during liquidity window depends upon the confirmations to be received from depository(ies) on which the Mutual Fund has no control. Risks associated with investment in Gold in the underlying scheme: Global gold supplies and demand, which is influenced by factors such as forward selling by gold producers, purchases made by gold producers to unwind gold hedge positions. Productions and cost levels in major gold producing countries can also impact gold prices. Further, Central bank purchases and sales also impact the price of Gold. The prices of gold are also affected: - • Macro-economic factors – Expected rate of inflation versus actual may impact the price of gold. Global or regional political, economic or financial events and situations of countries, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in bullion prices, exchange rates, inflation trends, market movements, etc. • can also impact price and demand / supply • Central banks’ sale: Central banks across the world hold a part of their reserves in gold. The quantum of their sale in the market is one of the major determinants of gold prices. A higher supply than anticipated would lead to subdued gold prices and vice versa. Central banks buy gold to augment their existing reserves and to diversify from other asset classes. This acts as a support factor for gold prices. • Mining & Production – Lower production could have a positive effect on gold prices. Conversely excessive production capacities would lead to a downward movement in gold prices as the supply goes up. • Currency exchange rates – A weakening dollar may act in favour of gold prices and vice versa • Changes in regulations or taxes or any other levies – Any changes in trading regulations by the stock exchange(s) or SEBI may affect the ability of Authorised Participant to arbitrage resulting into wider premium / discount to NAV. Any changes in the regulations relating to import and export of gold or gold jewellery (including customs duty, sales tax and any such other statutory levies) may affect the ability of the Scheme to buy / sell gold against the purchase and redemption requests received. Any change in the rates of indirect taxation / applicable taxes would affect the valuation of the Scheme. • Seasonal demand: Demand for Gold in India is closely tied to the production of jewellery which tends to increase ahead of festive seasons. Any factor impacting the seasonal demand will impact the prices of gold Gold 20Regulatory risk – Movement/trade of gold that may be imposed by RBI. Trade and restrictions on import/export of gold or gold jewellery etc may also impact prices and demand/supply • Market Liquidity: There can be no assurance that the requirements of the market necessary to maintain the listing of Gold ETF will continue to be met or will remain unchanged. Gold ETF may suffer liquidity risk from domestic as well as international market. • Demand-Supply mismatch – To the extent that demand for gold exceeds the available supply at that time, Authorized Participants may not be able to readily acquire sufficient amounts of gold necessary for the creation of a Basket. Market speculation in gold could result in increased requests for the issuances. It is possible that Authorized Participants may be unable to acquire sufficient gold that is acceptable for delivery for the issuance of new Baskets due to a limited then-available supply coupled with a surge in demand for the ETF units. In such circumstances, the AMC may suspend or restrict the issuance of Baskets. Such occurrence may lead to further volatility in the price and deviations, which may be significant, in the market price of the ETF units relative to the NAV. • Market volatility – The gold market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to factors such as gold’s uses in jewelry, technology, and industrial applications, or cost and production levels in major gold-producing countries. • Indirect Taxation: For the valuation of gold by the Scheme, indirect taxes like customs duty, VAT, etc. would also be considered. Hence, any change in the rates of indirect taxation / applicable taxes would affect the valuation of the Scheme. • Risk factors associated with investing in Gold Monetisation Scheme (GMS) and Gold Deposit Scheme (GDS) by the underlying scheme: The underlying ETF shall, as permitted by SEBI, may invest a part of its pool of physical gold assets in Gold Monetisation Scheme (GMS)/Gold Deposit Scheme (GDS) run by Banks. Under the GMS/GDS, the underlying ETF will deposit its physical gold assets as principal with the Banks that offer such facility (“the issuer”). A situation could arise where the issuer is unable to return the principal physical gold to ETF upon maturity or in case of an early redemption. Such inability to return physical gold could arise on account of liquidity problems or general financial health of the issuer. A default by the issuer under a GMS /GDS may result in losses to the Unit holders of the ETF. GMS/GDS being an unlisted and non-transferrable security can be Redeemed only with the issuer and hence, is subject to the risk of an issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payments on the obligation (credit risk). Credit Risk means that the issuer of a Security may default on interest payments or even paying back the principal amount on maturity (i.e. the issuer may be unable to make timely principal and interest payments on the Security) which may result in losses to the Unitholders of the underlying ETF. Risks associated with handling, storing and safekeeping of physical gold in the underlying scheme: All physical gold procured must follow the guidelines as prescribed by SEBI. Risk arises when part or all of the gold held by the Fund could be lost, stolen or damaged and access to gold may be restricted due to natural calamities or human actions, loss or damage directly or indirectly occasioned by, happening through or in consequence of war, invasion, acts of foreign enemies, hostilities (whether war be declared or not), civil war, rebellion, revolution, insurrection, military or usurped power. Loss due to aridity, humidity, exposure to light or extremes of temperature. Hence, the 21Custodian maintains insurance in regard to the business on terms and conditions and the custodian is also responsible for all costs arising from the insurance policies. The custodian taking delivery on behalf of the AMC needs to ensure the weight, purity, and the source of gold as specified under the guidelines issued by SEBI. Since this is paramount to the SEBI guidelines, the risk arises in violation of same. Safekeeping of physical gold requires appropriate vaulting space, confirming to the best global standards. The vaulting agents engaged by the custodian need to ensure the same. Risks Related to the Custody of Gold in the underlying scheme: The Custodian may select Sub-Custodians/ Vaulting Service Provider to perform any of its duties, including holding gold. The Custodian alone shall be liable for any fees, loss, damages, costs, or charges of such Sub Custodian/Vaulting Service Provider. The Custodian directly and/ or through its Sub-Custodians/ Vaulting Service Provider maintains insurance on such terms and conditions as it considers appropriate in connection with its custodial obligations under the Custodian Agreement and is responsible for all costs, fees and expenses arising from the insurance policy or policies. The Custodian shall be fully responsible for custody/ losses/ damages of physical gold whether the Custodian appoints Sub-custodian/ Vaulting Service Provider or not. Custodian will maintain all ledgers (or other records) reflecting Property in physical possession of Custodian or held by any Sub-Custodian/ Vaulting Service Provider. In terms of the Agreement entered into with the custodian, the Custodian is liable for any loss, damage, cost, judgment, expense or any other liability including any physical loss, destruction or damage to the Property, except, for Losses arising from nuclear fission or fusion, radioactivity, war, terrorist event, invasion, insurrection, civil commotion, riot, strike, act of government or public authority, acts of God or a similar cause that is beyond the control of the Custodian (“Force Majeure”).’’ • Neither the Shareholders nor any Authorized Participant have a right under the Custodian Agreement to assert a claim against the Custodian. Claims under the Custodian Agreement may only be asserted by the AMC. • The procedures agreed to with the Custodian contemplate that the Custodian must undertake certain tasks in connection with the inspection of gold delivered by Authorized Participants in exchange for Baskets. The Custodian’s inspection includes review of the corresponding bar list to ensure that it accurately describes the weight, fineness, refiner marks and bar number appearing on the gold bars, but does not include any chemical or other tests designed to verify that the gold received does, in fact, meet the purity requirements. Accordingly, such inspection procedures may not prevent the deposit of gold that fails to meet these purity standards. The Custodian will not be responsible or liable to the Trust or to any investor in the event any gold otherwise properly inspected by it does not meet the purity requirements. • The AMC does not insure its gold (Underlying gold of the scheme). The Custodian maintains insurance on such terms and conditions as it considers appropriate in connection with its custodial obligations under the Custodian Agreement and is responsible for all costs, fees and expenses arising from the insurance policy or policies. The AMC is not a beneficiary of any such insurance and does not have the ability to dictate the existence, nature or amount of coverage. Therefore, Shareholders cannot be assured that the Custodian maintains adequate insurance or any insurance with respect to the gold held by the Custodian on behalf of the Trust. • Risk related to Tracking Error and Tracking Difference of the underlying scheme : Tracking Error and Tracking difference is to measure divergence of 22the performance (return) of the Fund’s portfolio from that of the Underlying Index. Tracking error / Tracking difference are inherent in any ETF and such errors may cause the schemes to generate returns which are not in line with the performance of the Domestic prices of Gold. The Fund Manager would not be able to invest the entire corpus in physical Gold due to certain factors such as the fees and expenses of the Scheme, corporate actions, cash balance, changes to the underlying index and regulatory restrictions, which may result in Tracking Error with the underlying index. The Scheme’s returns may therefore deviate from those of the 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. There can be no assurance or guarantee that the Scheme will achieve any particular level of Tracking Error relative to performance of the underlying Index. Tracking Error may arise due to the following reasons: o Expenditure incurred by the Fund. o Available funds may not be invested at all times as the Scheme may keep a portion of the funds in cash to meet Redemptions for corporate actions or otherwise. o Accounting for indirect taxes including tax reclaims. o SEBI Regulations (if any) may impose restrictions on the investment and/or disvestment activities of the Scheme. Such restrictions are typically outside the control of the AMC and may cause or exacerbate the Tracking Error Due to the reasons mentioned above and other reasons that may arise, it is expected that the scheme may have a tracking error, the same however, shall not by 2% per annum from its Benchmarks. However, it needs to be clearly understood that this is an indicative range and that the actual tracking error can be within or outside the range given. The units may trade above or below their NAV. The NAV of the underlying Scheme will fluctuate with changes in the market value of the holdings. The trading prices will fluctuate in accordance with changes in their NAV as well as market supply and demand. However, given that units of Gold ETFs can be created and redeemed in Creation Units, it is expected that large discounts or premiums to the NAV will not sustain due to arbitrage opportunity available. The value of Gold ETFs Units could decrease if unanticipated operational or trading problems arise. • Systemic Risks - Systemic risks which may be witnessed while trading in Indian Commodities Market are liquidity risk, market risk in terms of volatility, Exchange Risk and counterparty risks. • Settlement Risk – Risks pertaining to settlement of Commodity Derivatives vide Physical Delivery of goods • Incremental margin / cost to be borne- The Commodity exchanges have robust settlement process like the equity exchanges. However, there are rules and timelines which need to be complied with, failing which delivery of the commodity will need to be taken. This will lead to incremental cost to procure the commodity. Avoidance of the same will lead to the exchange penalizing the buyer or the seller or both depending on the type of commodity being dealt with. • Risk Factors in case settlement of Derivatives vide Physical Delivery of goods – Timelines to dispose off the physical goods, loss due to damage, inadequate insurance, If the Commodities futures position 23passes its last square off date or the ‘Intention’ is missed to be provided before the Delivery Intention period, the buyer or the seller will be allocated delivery of the commodity. Thus, there emerges a risk of holding goods in physical form at the warehouses. Though the commodity is inclusive of insurance cost, there is a small deductible in each claim which is not payable by the Insurance company. Risk Factors Associated with Investments by the underlying schemes in Exchange Traded Commodity Derivatives (ETCDs): • An exchange traded commodity derivative is a derivative instrument that mimics the price movements of an underlying commodity, allowing an investor exposure to the commodity without physical purchase. • Liquidity Risk: While ETCDs that are listed on an exchange carry lower liquidity risk, the ability to sell these contracts is limited by the overall trading volume on the exchanges. The liquidity of the Schemes’ investments is inherently restricted by trading volumes of the ETCD contracts in which it invests. Additionally, change in margin requirements or intervention by government agencies to reduce overall volatility in the underlying commodity could lead to adverse impact on the liquidity of the ETCD. • Price risk: ETCDs are leveraged instruments hence, a small price movement in the underlying security could have a large impact on their value. Also, the market for ETCDs is nascent in India hence, arbitrages can occur between the price of the physical commodity and the ETCD, due to a variety of reasons such as technical issues and volatile movement in the price of the physical good. This can result in mispricing and improper valuation of investment decisions as it can be difficult to ascertain the amount of the arbitrage. • Settlement risk: ETCDs can be settled either through the exchange or physically. The inability to sell ETCDs held in the Schemes’ portfolio in the exchanges due to the extraneous factors may impact liquidity and would result in losses, at times, in case of adverse price movement. Wherein the underlying commodity is physically delivered in order to settle the derivative contract, such settlement could get impacted due to various issues, such as logistics, Government policy for trading in such commodities. Risks associated with money market instruments are as under: • Interest rate Risk: Price of a money market instrument generally falls when the interest rates move up and vice- versa. The extent of fall or rise in the prices depends upon the coupon and maturity of the security. It also depends upon the yield level at which the security is being traded. • Spread Risk: In a floating rate security the coupon is expressed in terms of a spread or mark up over the benchmark rate. In the life of the security this spread may move adversely leading to loss in value of the portfolio. The yield of the underlying benchmark might not change, but the spread of the security over the underlying benchmark might increase leading to loss in value of the security. • Credit risk or default Risk: Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a debenture/ bond or a money market instrument may default on interest and/or principal 24payment obligations. Even when there is no default, the price of a security may change with expected changes in the credit rating of the issuer. It is to be noted here that a Government Security is a sovereign security and is the safest. Corporate bonds carry a higher amount of credit risk than Government Securities. Within corporate bonds also there are different levels of safety and a bond rated higher by a particular rating agency is safer than a bond rated lower by the same rating agency. • Liquidity & Settlement Risk: The liquidity of a fixed income security may change, depending on market conditions leading to changes in the liquidity premium attached to the price of such securities. At the time of selling the security, the security can become illiquid, leading to loss in value of the portfolio. Different segments of the financial markets have different settlement cycle/periods, and such settlement cycle/periods may be impacted by unforeseen circumstances, leading to Settlement Risk. This can adversely affect the ability of the Fund to swiftly execute trading strategies which can lead to adverse movements in NAV. • Reinvestment Risk: Interest rates may vary from time to time. The rate at which intermediate cash flows are reinvested may differ from the original interest rates on the security, which can affect the total earnings from the security. • Prepayment Risk: The Scheme may receive payment of monthly cashflows earlier than scheduled, which may result in reinvestment risk. • Market Risk: Lower rated or unrated securities are more likely to react to developments affecting the market as they tend to be more sensitive to changes in economic conditions than higher rated securities Risk factors associated with investment in Tri-Party Repo: 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 25may lose an amount equivalent to its contribution to the default fund Risks Associated with Segregated Portfolio 1) Unit holder holding units of Segregated Portfolio may not be able to liquidate their holdings till the recovery of money from the issuer. 2) Portfolio comprising of Segregated Portfolio may not realise any value or may have to be written down. 3) Listing of units of Segregated Portfolio in recognised 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 specific to the scheme Risk mitigants / Management Strategy Risk related to portfolio volatility The underlying ETF scheme where the Scheme intends to invest follows the underlying price of Gold and therefore the level of portfolio volatility would be same as that of the underlying Gold price. The fund manager would also endeavour to keep minimal cash levels to keep performance deviation from the underlying ETF to minimal Risk related to managing The fund manager may keep some portfolio liquidity portion of the portfolio in debt and money market instruments and/or cash within the specified asset allocation framework for the purpose of meeting redemptions. The liquidity would be monitored and necessary action would be taken on the portfolio if required 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. Tracking Error The underlying scheme endeavours to maintain low cash levels to minimize tracking error Liquidity risk: Inability to buy / The scheme can buy/sell the sell appropriate quantity of units of the underlying Edelweiss Gold ETF scheme in creation Unit Size by way of cash. The investments could be made in units of Edelweiss Gold ETF either directly through the 27underlying scheme in creation unit size or through the secondary market via stock exchange route. The facility to buy directly through underlying scheme in creation unit size would provide Edelweiss Gold ETF an additional source to purchase the units in addition to the stock exchange route. For small amounts of inflows / outflows which are less than the creation size of Edelweiss Gold ETF, the scheme will buy/sell Edelweiss Gold ETF units directly on the stock exchange without waiting for additional subscription redemption. Event risk/Custody Risk: Risk of There is a risk that part or all of loss, damage, theft, impurity etc. the physical Gold belonging to the of Gold underlying scheme could be lost, damaged or stolen.
