compared to physical portfolio of shares representing the underlying
index. In case of investments in index futures/options, the risk/reward
would be the same as investments in portfolio of shares representing an
index. However, there may be a cost attached to buying an index
future/option. The Scheme will not maintain any leveraged or trading

Applicability of Stamp Duty: Pursuant to Notification No. S. O. 1226
(E) and G.S.R 226(E) dated March 30, 2020 issued by Department of
Revenue, Ministry of Finance, Government of India, read with Part I of
Chapter IV of Notification dated February 21, 2019 issued by Legislative
Department, Ministry of Law and Justice, Government of India on the
Finance Act, 2019, a stamp duty @ 0.005% of the transaction value shall
be levied on applicable mutual fund transactions. Accordingly, pursuant
to levy of stamp duty, the number of units allotted on purchase
transactions to the unitholders would be reduced to that extent. The stamp
duty will be deducted from the net investment amount i.e. gross
investment amount less any other deduction like transaction charge.
Units will be created only for the balance amount i.e. Net Investment
Amount as reduced by the stamp duty. The stamp duty will be computed
at the rate of 0.005% on an inclusive method basis.
For instance: If the transaction amount is Rs. 100100 /- and the
transaction charge is Rs. 100, the stamp duty will be calculated as
follows: ((Transaction Amount – Transaction Charge) *0.005%) = Rs.5.
If the applicable Net Asset Value (NAV) is Rs. 10 per unit, then units
allotted will be calculated as follows: (Transaction Amount – Transaction
Charge – Stamp Duty)/ Applicable NAV = 9,999.50 units.

Risks associated with investing in Derivatives:
Derivative products are leveraged 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. Derivatives require the maintenance of adequate controls to monitor the transactions
entered into, the ability to assess the risk that a derivative adds to the portfolio and the
ability to forecast price or interest rate movements correctly. Other risks include risk of
mispricing or improper valuation and the inability of the derivative to correlate perfectly
with underlying assets, rates and indices, illiquidity risk whereby the Scheme may not be
able to sell or purchase derivative quickly enough at a fair price.
Disclosure relating to extent and manner of participation in derivatives to be
provided –
The Scheme may invest in derivative for the purpose of portfolio balancing and other
purposes as may be permitted under the Regulations. Equity Derivatives will be used in
the form of Index Options, Index Futures, Stock Options and Stock Futures and other
instruments as may be permitted by SEBI. Derivatives can be either exchange traded or
can be over the counter (OTC). Exchange traded derivatives are listed and traded on stock
exchanges whereas OTC derivative transactions are generally structured between two
counterparties. Exposure with respect to derivatives shall be in line with regulatory limits
and the limits specified in the SID.
Investments Limitations and Restrictions in Derivatives
In accordance with Clause 12.25 of SEBI Master Circular SEBI/HO/IMD/IMD-PoD-
1/P/CIR/2024/90 dated June 27, 2024, the following investment restrictions shall apply
with respect to investment in Derivatives:
1. The cumulative gross exposure through equity, debt and derivative positions will
not exceed 100% of the net assets of the scheme. However, cash or cash
equivalents with residual maturity of less than 91 days shall be treated as not
creating any exposure.
2. The Scheme shall not write options or purchase instruments with embedded
written options.
3. The total exposure related to option premium paid shall not exceed 20% of the net
assets of the scheme.
184. Exposure due to hedging positions may not be included in the above mentioned
limits subject to the following:
a. Hedging positions are the derivative positions that reduce possible losses
on an existing position in securities and till the existing position remains.
b. Hedging positions shall not be taken for existing derivative positions.
Exposure due to such positions shall be added and treated under gross
cumulative exposure limits mentioned under Point 1.
c. Any derivative instrument used to hedge shall have the same underlying
security as the existing position being hedged.
d. The quantity of underlying associated with the derivative position taken
for hedging purposes shall not exceed the quantity of the existing position
against which hedge has been taken.
5. The scheme may enter into plain vanilla Interest Rate Swaps (IRS) for hedging
purposes. The value of the notional principal in such cases shall not exceed the
value of respective existing assets being hedged by the scheme.
In case of participation in IRS is through over the counter transactions, the counter
party shall be an entity recognized as a market maker by RBI and exposure to a
single counterparty in such transactions shall not exceed 10% of the net assets of
the scheme. However, if mutual funds are transacting in IRS through an electronic
trading platform offered by the Clearing Corporation of India Ltd. (CCIL) and
CCIL is the central counterparty for such transactions guaranteeing settlement, the
single counterparty limit of 10% shall not be applicable.
6. Exposure due to derivative positions taken for hedging purposes in excess of the
underlying position against which the hedging position has been taken, shall be
treated under gross cumulative exposure limits mentioned under Point1.

Computation of NAV:
The NAV of the Units of the Scheme will be computed by dividing the net assets
Consolidated
of the Scheme by the number of Units outstanding on the valuation date. The Fund
Std Obs.42
shall value its investments according to the valuation norms, as specified in
Schedule VIII of the Regulations, or such norms as may be prescribed by SEBI from
time to time.
All expenses and incomes accrued up to the valuation date shall be considered for
computation of NAV. For this purpose, major expenses like management fees and
other periodic expenses would be accrued on a day to day basis. The minor expenses
and income will be accrued on a periodic basis, provided the nondaily accrual does
not affect the NAV calculations by more than 1%.
Any changes in securities and in the number of units be recorded in the books not
later than the first valuation date following the date of transaction. If this is not
possible given the frequency of the Net Asset Value disclosure, the recording may
be delayed upto a period of seven days following the date of the transaction,
provided that as a result of the non-recording, the Net Asset Value calculations shall
not be affected by more than 1%.
In case the Net Asset Value of a scheme differs by more than 1%, due to non -
recording of the transactions, the investors or scheme/s as the case may be, shall be
paid the difference in amount as follows:-
(i) If the investors are allotted units at a price higher than Net Asset Value or
are given a price lower than Net Asset Value at the time of sale of their
units, they shall be paid the difference in amount by the scheme.
(ii) If the investors are charged lower Net Asset Value at the time of purchase
of their units or are given higher Net Asset Value at the time of sale of their
units, asset management company shall pay the difference in amount to the
scheme. The asset management company may recover the difference from
the investors.
NAV of units under the Scheme shall be calculated as shown below:
3NAV (Rs.) =
Market or Fair + Current Assets - Current Liabilities and
Value of including Provisions including
Scheme's Accrued accrued expenses
investments Income
No. of Units outstanding under Scheme
The NAV of the Scheme will be calculated upto four decimal places and will be
declared on each business day. The valuation of the Scheme’s assets and calculation
of the Scheme’s NAV shall be subject to audit on an annual basis and shall be
subject to such regulations as may be prescribed by SEBI from time to time.
Illustration:
Assume that the Market or Fair Value of Scheme’s investments is Rs. 1,00,00,000;
Current asset of the scheme is Rs. 25,00,000; Current Liabilities and Provisions is
Rs. 15,00,000 and the No. of Units outstanding under the scheme are 5,00,000.
Thus, the NAV will be calculated as:
NAV = = 22.0000
Therefore, the NAV of the scheme is Rs. 22.0000
While determining the price of the units, the mutual fund shall ensure that the
repurchase price of an open ended scheme is not lower than 95 per cent of the Net
Asset Value.
SO 17 & 19
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

Scheme specific risk factors:
The Scheme is subject to the principal risks described below. Some or all of these
Consolidated risks may adversely affect Scheme’s NAV trading price, yield, total return and/or
Std Obs.8 &
its ability to meet its objectives.
SO 02
1) The NAV of the units is closely related to the value of stocks that form a part of
the benchmark index. The value of this will react to stock market movements and
may result in changes in the NAV of units under the scheme. There could also be
movements in the scheme’s NAV due to changes in interest rates, macro-economic
and political developments and over longer periods during market downturns;
2) Liquidity Risk: Trading in Groww Nifty Next 50 ETF may be halted due to
market conditions or for reasons that in the view of the Exchange Authorities or
SEBI, trading in Groww Nifty Next 50 ETF is not advisable. There could also be
trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility and pursuant to NSE and
SEBI circuit filter rules. There can be no assurance that the requirements of the
7exchange necessary to maintain the listing of the Groww Nifty Next 50 ETF will
continue to be met or will remain unchanged
3) Regulatory Risk: Any changes in trading regulations by the stock exchange(s) or
SEBI may affect the ability of Market Maker/Large Investors to arbitrage resulting
into wider premium/ discount to NAV.
4) Tracking error may have an impact on the performance of the scheme. However,
GAMC will endeavour to keep the tracking error as low as possible.
5) The Scheme is a passively managed scheme and provides exposure to the
Consolidated
benchmark and tracking its performance and yield as closely as possible. The
Std Obs.27
Schemes performance may be affected by a general price decline in the stock
markets. The Scheme invests in the stocks comprising the index regardless of their
investment merit. The Mutual Fund does not attempt to take defensive positions in
declining markets.
6) As the scheme proposes to invest not less than 95% of the net assets in securities
comprising of Nifty Next 50 Index, any deletion of stocks from or addition to in
Nifty Next 50 Index - TRI may require sudden and immediate liquidation or
acquisition of such stocks at the prevailing market prices irrespective of whether
valuation of stocks is attractive enough. This may not always be in the interest of
unitholders.
7) The performance of the Nifty Next 50 Index – TRI will have a direct bearing on
the performance of the scheme. Hence any composition change by virtue of
weightage or stocks selection will have an impact on the scheme.
8) Though Groww Nifty Next 50 ETF will be listed on the stock exchange, there is
no assurance that an active secondary market will develop or be maintained.
9) Investors may note that even though this is an open-ended scheme, they will have
to buy or sell units of the scheme on the stock exchanges where these units are listed
for liquidity at the market price, subject to the rules and regulations of the exchange.
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.
10) The market price of ETF units, like any other listed security, is largely
dependent on two factors, viz., (1) the intrinsic value of the unit (or NAV), and (2)
demand and supply of 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. However, since the eligible investors can transact with the AMC for units
beyond the creation unit size there should not be a significant variance from the
NAV. Hence the price of ETF is less likely to hold significant variance (large
premium or discount) from the latest declared NAV all the time.
11) Capital Gains Impact: Investors who trade in Groww Nifty Next 50 ETF may
be subject to Long Term Capital Gains or Short Term Capital Gains. Investors are
requested to consult their tax / legal consultants before investing in the scheme.
12) 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 depends
8up on the confirmations to be received from depository(ies) on which the mutual
fund has no control.
13) The scheme will attract provisions of take over regulations, if it invests in more
than 10% of the paid up capital of a company and therefore may not be able to
accept further subscription
Risk associated with Exchange Traded Fund:
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 subject to trading
halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to ‘circuit breaker’ 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 Exchange Traded Funds may trade above or below their NAV. The NAV
of Units of Exchange Traded Funds 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.
d) Regulatory Risk: Any changes in trading regulations by the Exchange or SEBI
may affect the ability of market maker to arbitrage resulting into wider premium/
discount to NAV. Although Groww Nifty Next 50 ETF is proposed to be listed on
Exchange, the AMC and the Trustees will not be liable for delay in listing of Units
of the Scheme on Exchange / or due to connectivity problems with the depositories
due to the occurrence of any event beyond their control.
e) Political Risks: Whereas the Indian market was formerly restrictive, a process of
deregulation has been taking place over recent years. This process has involved
removal of trade barriers and protectionist measures, which could adversely affect
the value of investments. It is possible that the future changes in the Indian political
situation, including political, social or economic instability, diplomatic
developments and changes in laws and regulations could have an effect on the value
of investments. Expropriation, confiscatory taxation or other relevant developments
could affect the value of investments.
f) Right to Limit Redemptions: The Trustee, in the general interest of the unit
holders of the Scheme offered under this Scheme Information Document and
keeping in view of the unforeseen circumstances/unusual market conditions, may
limit the total number of Units which can be redeemed on any Business Day
depending on the total “Saleable Underlying Stock” available with the fund.
g) Redemption Risk: The Unit Holders may note that even though this is an open
9ended scheme, the Scheme would ordinarily repurchase Units in Creation Unit size.
Thus unit holdings less than the Creation Unit size can normally only be sold
through the secondary market unless no quotes are available on the Exchange for 3
trading days consecutively.
h) Asset Class Risk: The returns from the types of securities in which a Scheme
invests may underperform returns from the various general securities markets or
different asset classes. Different types of securities tend to go through cycles of out-
performance and under performance in comparison of the general securities
markets.
i) Passive Investments: As the Scheme is not actively managed, the underlying
investments may be affected by a general decline in the Indian markets relating to
its Underlying Index. The scheme invests in the securities included in its underlying
index regardless of their investment merit. The AMC does not attempt to take
defensive positions in declining markets. Further, the fund manager does not make
any judgment about the investment merit nor shall attempt to apply any economic,
financial or market analysis.
j) Tracking Error Risk: Factors such as the fees and expenses of the Scheme, cash
balance, changes to the Underlying assets and regulatory policies may affect AMC’s
ability to achieve close correlation with the Underlying assets of the scheme. The
Scheme’s returns may therefore deviate from those of its Underlying assets.
k) 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 fund
can keep lesser funds in cash. Also, time lag between buying / selling units and the
underlying shares is much lower The Investment Manager would monitor the
tracking error of the Scheme on an ongoing basis and would seek to minimize
tracking error to the maximum extent possible. Under normal circumstances, such
tracking errors are not expected to exceed 2% per annum. However, this may vary
when the markets are very volatile However, 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.
Risk specific to investing in securities forming part of Nifty Next 50 Index and
risks:-
The Scheme will invest atleast 95% of its net assets in Constituents of Nifty Next
50 Index. The Scheme will be affected by the risks associated with the constituents
of Nifty Next 50 Index. Performance of the underlying index will have a direct
bearing on the performance of the scheme. The extent of the Tracking error may
have an impact on the performance of the scheme.
Risks associated with Tracking errors/ difference:
Consolidated
Std Obs.10 Tracking error means the extent to which the NAV of the fund moves in a manner
inconsistent with the movements of the benchmark index on any given day or over
any given period of time due to any cause or reason whatsoever including but not
limited to expenditure incurred by the scheme, IDCW payouts if any, whole cash
not invested at all times as it may keep a portion of funds in cash to meet redemption
etc. The tracking error i.e. the annualized standard deviation of the difference in
daily returns between the underlying index or goods and the NAV of the Scheme
based on daily past one year rolling data shall not exceed 2%. In case of unavoidable
10circumstances in the nature of force majeure, which are beyond the control of the
AMCs, the tracking error may exceed 2% and the same shall be brought to the notice
of Trustees with corrective actions taken by the AMC, if any. However, the Fund
will endeavour to limit the tracking error within 2% limits. Tracking difference is
the difference of return between the scheme and benchmark annualized over 1 year,
3 year, 5 years, 10 years and since inception period.
Tracking error/ difference could be the result of a variety of factors including but
not limited to:
• Delay in the purchase or sale of stocks within the benchmark due to o Illiquidity
in the stocks, circuit filters on the stocks
• Delay in realisation of sale proceeds
• The scheme may buy or sell the stocks comprising the index at different points
of time during the trading session at the then prevailing prices which may not
correspond to its closing prices.
• Index providers may either exclude or include new scrips in their periodic review
of the stocks that constitute the underlying index. In such situations the scheme
will endeavour to rebalance the portfolio in line with the index. But may not able
to mirror the index immediately due the available investment/reinvestment
opportunity.
• The holding of a cash position and accrued income prior to distribution of income
and payment of accrued expenses.
• Disinvestments to meet redemptions, recurring expenses, payouts of IDCW etc.
• Execution of large buy / sell orders
• Delay in credit of securities
• Transaction cost and recurring expenses
• Delay in realisation of Unit holders’ funds
• Levy of margins by exchanges
SEBI / other Regulatory restrictions on investments and/ or divestments by the
scheme / Mutual Fund, which are outside the control of AMC, which may further
cause / impact the tracking error.
Risks associated with Capital Markets or Equity Markets (i.e. Markets in
which Equity Shares or Equity oriented instruments are issued and traded)
• Price fluctuations and Volatility:
Mutual Funds, like securities investments, are subject to market and other risks and
there can be neither a guarantee against loss resulting from an investment in the
Scheme nor any assurance that the objective of the Scheme will be achieved. The
NAV of the Units issued under the Scheme can go up or down because of various
factors that affect the capital market in general, such as, but not limited to, changes
in interest rates, government policy and volatility in the capital markets. Pressure
on the exchange rate of the Rupee may also affect security prices.
• Liquidity Risks:
Liquidity in Equity investments may be affected by trading volumes, settlement
periods and transfer procedures. These factors may also affect the Scheme’s ability
to make intended purchases/sales, cause potential losses to the Scheme and result in
the Scheme missing certain investment opportunities. These factors can also affect
the time taken by GMF for redemption of Units, which could be significant in the
event of receipt of a very large number of redemption requests or very large value
redemption requests. In view of this, redemption may be limited or suspended after
approval from the Boards of Directors of the AMC and the Trustee, under certain
11circumstances as described in the Statement of Additional Information.
Risk associated with Securities Lending:
In the case of securities lending, there is a possibility of recall of securities lent at a
higher premium than at which the security is lent or unable to recall due to low
volume. Additional risk on securities lending is that there can be temporary
illiquidity of the securities that are lent out and the Fund may not be able to sell such
lent-out securities, resulting in an opportunity loss. In case of a default by
counterparty, the loss to the Fund can be equivalent to the securities lent.
Risks associated with investing in Derivatives
Consolidated Derivative products are leveraged instruments and can provide disproportionate
Std Obs.28 gains as well as disproportionate losses to the investor. Execution of such strategies
& SO 05 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. Derivatives
require the maintenance of adequate controls to monitor the transactions entered
into, the ability to assess the risk that a derivative adds to the portfolio and the ability
to forecast price or interest rate movements correctly. Other risks include risk of
mispricing or improper valuation and the inability of the derivative to correlate
perfectly with underlying assets, rates and indices, illiquidity risk whereby the
Scheme may not be able to sell or purchase derivative quickly enough at a fair price.
Risks associated with Debt / Money Markets (i.e. Markets in which Interest
bearing Securities or Discounted Instruments are traded)
a) Credit Risk:
Securities carry a Credit risk of repayment of principal or interest by the borrower.
This risk depends on micro-economic factors such as financial soundness and ability
of the borrower as also macro-economic factors such as Industry performance,
Competition from Imports, Competitiveness of Exports, Input costs, Trade barriers,
Favourability of Foreign Currency conversion rates, etc.
Credit risks of most issuers of Debt securities are rated by Independent and
professionally run rating agencies. Ratings of Credit issued by these agencies
typically range from "AAA" (read as "Triple A" denoting "Highest Safety") to "D"
(denoting "Default"), with about 6 distinct ratings between the two extremes.
The highest credit rating (i.e. lowest credit risk) commands a low yield for the
borrower. Conversely, the lowest credit rated borrower can raise funds at a relatively
higher cost. On account of a higher credit risk for lower rated borrowers lenders
prefer higher rated instruments further justifying the lower yields.
b) Price-Risk or Interest-Rate Risk:
From the perspective of coupon rates, Debt securities can be classified in two
categories, i.e., Fixed Income bearing Securities and Floating Rate Securities. In
Fixed Income Bearing Securities, the Coupon rate is determined at the time of
investment and paid/received at the predetermined frequency. In the Floating Rate
Securities, on the other hand, the coupon rate changes - 'floats' - with the underlying
benchmark rate, e.g., MIBOR, 1 yr. Treasury Bill. Fixed Income Securities (such as
12Government Securities, bonds, debentures and money market instruments) where a
fixed return is offered, run price-risk. Generally, when interest rates rise, prices of
fixed income securities fall and when interest rates drop, the prices increase. The
extent of fall or rise in the prices is a function of the existing coupon, the payment-
frequency of such coupon, days to maturity and the increase or decrease in the level
of interest rates. The prices of Government Securities (existing and new) will be
influenced only by movement in interest rates in the financial system. Whereas, in
the case of corporate or institutional fixed income securities, such as bonds or
debentures, prices are influenced not only by the change in interest rates but also by
credit rating of the security and liquidity thereof. However, debt securities in the
scheme are intended to be held till maturity. For such securities held till maturity,
there will not be any interest rate risk at the end of the tenure.
Floating rate securities issued by a government (coupon linked to treasury bill
benchmark or a real return inflation linked bond) have the least sensitivity to interest
rate movements, as compared to other securities. The Government of India has
already issued a few such securities and the Investment Manager believes that such
securities may become available in future as well. These securities can play an
important role in minimizing interest rate risk on a portfolio.
C) Risk of Rating Migration:
The following table illustrates the Yield Market
impact of change of rating (credit (% Value (Rs.)
worthiness) on the price of a p.a.)
hypothetical AA rated security with a
maturity period of 3 years, a coupon of
10.00% p.a. and a market value of Rs.
100. If it is downgraded to A category,
which commands a market yield of, say,
11.00% p.a., its market value would
drop to Rs. 97.53 (i.e. 2.47%) If the
security is up-graded to AAA category
which commands a market yield of, say,
9.00% p.a. its market value would
increase to Rs102.51 (i.e. by 2.51%).
The figures shown in the table are only
indicative and are intended to
demonstrate how the price of a security
can be affected by change in credit
rating.
Rating
AA 10.00 100.00
If upgraded to AAA 9.00 102.51
If downgraded to A 11.00 97.53
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. There are certain risks inherent in derivatives. These are:
a) 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.
13b) Limitations on upside: Derivatives when used as hedging tool can also limit the
profits from a genuine investment transaction.
c) Liquidity 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.
d) The risk related to hedging for use of derivatives, (apart from the derivatives risk
mentioned above) is that event of risk, which we were anticipating and hedged our
position to mitigate it, does not happen. In such case, the cost incurred in hedging
the position would be a avoidable charge to the scheme net assets.
e) Credit Risk – The credit risk in derivative transaction is the risk that the counter
party will default on its obligations and is generally low, as there is no exchange of
principal amounts in a IRS / IRF derivative transaction. With the phased
implementation of physical settlement of stocks in equity derivative segment,
though there is an element of risk of stock / funds not being received, the same is
mitigated due to settlement guarantee similar to equity cash market segment.
f) Interest Rate Risk – interest rate is one of the variables while valuing derivatives
such as futures & options. For example, with everything remaining constant, when
interest rates increase, the price of Call option would increase. Thus, fluctuations in
interest rates would result in volatility in the valuation of derivatives.
g) Model Risk - A variety of models can be used to value options. Hence, the risk
to the fund is that the fund manager buys a particular option using a particular
valuation model (on the basis of which the option seems to be fairly priced or cheap)
but the market is valuing it using another valuation model and according to which
the option may be expensive.
h) The risk (loss) for an option buyer is limited to the premium paid, while the risk
(loss) of an option writer is unlimited, the latter’s gain being limited to the premiums
earned. However, in the case of the Fund, all option positions will have underlying
assets and therefore all losses due to price-movement beyond the strike price will
actually be an opportunity loss. The writer of a put option bears a risk of loss if the
value of the underlying asset declines below the strike price. The writer of a call
option bears a risk of loss if the value of the underlying asset increases above the
strike price.
Risk associated with investment in Government securities and Triparty repo
on Government securities or treasury bills:
• The mutual fund is a member of securities segment and Triparty repo on
Government securities or treasury bills trade settlement of the Clearing Corporation
of India (CCIL). All transactions of the mutual fund in government securities and
in Triparty repo on Government securities or treasury bills trades are settled
centrally through the infrastructure and settlement systems provided by CCIL; thus
reducing the settlement and counter party risks considerably for transactions in the
said segments.
• The members are required to contribute towards margin obligation (Initial / Mark
to Market etc.) as per bye-laws of CCIL as also 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
14member in discharging their obligation. 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 as determined by CCIL.
• 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 maintains 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 on Government securities or treasury bills 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 segregated portfolio
• Investor holding units of segregated portfolio may not able to liquidate their
holding till the time realisable value is recovered.
• Security comprising of segregated portfolio may realise lower value or may realise
zero value.
• 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.
Risk Control/ Mitigation measures:
Consolidated
The scheme may take exposure to equity derivatives of the index itself or its
Std Obs.9
constituent stocks, when equity shares are unavailable, insufficient or for
rebalancing in case of corporate actions for a temporary period which shall not
exceed 7 days.
Risk mitigation measures for portfolio volatility and portfolio concentration:
ETF Scheme being a passive investment carries lesser risk as compared to active
fund management. The portfolio follows the index and therefore the level of stock
concentration in the portfolio and its volatility would be the same as that of the
index, subject to tracking error. Thus there is no additional element of volatility or
stock concentration on account of fund manager decisions.
Risk mitigation measures for managing liquidity:
As per data from NSE more than half of market liquidity remains in the index.
Therefore, the scheme does not envisage liquidity issues. The scheme may take
exposure to equity derivatives of the index itself or its constituent stocks, when
equity shares are unavailable, insufficient or for rebalancing in case of corporate
actions for a temporary period.
RISK CONTROL
The investment objective of the Scheme is to generate long-term capital growth by
investing in securities of the Nifty Next 50 Index in the same proportion/weightage
with an aim to provide returns before expenses that track the total return of Nifty
15Next 50 Index, subject to tracking errors.
However, there can be no assurance or guarantee that the investment objective of
the scheme will be achieved.
Type of Risks Measures/ Strategies to control risks
Equity Markets/ The investment objective of the Scheme is to generate
Equity Oriented long-term capital growth by investing in securities of
Instruments the Nifty Next 50 Index in the same
proportion/weightage with an aim to provide returns
before expenses that track the total return of Nifty
Next 50 Index, subject to tracking errors.
However, there can be no assurance or guarantee that
the investment objective of the scheme will be
achieved.
ETF being a passive investment carries lesser risk as
compared to active fund management. The portfolio
follows the index and therefore the level of stock
concentration in the portfolio and its volatility would
be the same as that of the index, subject to tracking
error. Thus, there is no additional element of volatility
or stock concentration on account of fund manager
decisions. The fund manager would endeavour to
keep cash levels at the minimal to control tracking
error.
Debt and Money • Credit Risk: Management analysis will be used for
Market identifying company specific risks. Management’s
instruments past track record will also be studied. In order to
assess financial risk a detailed assessment of the
issuer’s financial statements will be undertaken.
• Price-Risk or Interest-Rate Risk: The Scheme may
primarily invest the debt portion of the portfolio in
short term debt & money market instruments, units of
Liquid and Overnight schemes thereby mitigating the
price volatility due to interest rate changes generally
associated with long-term securities.
• Risk of Rating Migration: The Scheme may
primarily invest the debt portion of the portfolio in
short-term debt & money market instruments thereby
mitigating the risk of rating migration generally
associated with long-term securities
• Basis Risk: The debt allocation of scheme is
primarily as a cash management strategy and such
strategy returns are expected to reflect the very short
term interest rate hence investment is done in short
term debt and money market instruments.
• Spread Risk: The Scheme may primarily invest the
debt portion of the portfolio in short-term debt &
money market instruments, units of Liquid and
Overnight schemes thereby mitigating the risk of
spread expansion which is generally associated with
16long-term securities
• Reinvestment Risk: The debt allocation of scheme
is primarily as a cash management strategy and such
strategy returns are expected to reflect the very short
term interest rate hence investment is done in short
term debt and money market instruments.
Reinvestment risks will be limited to the extent of
debt instruments, which will be a very small portion
of the overall portfolio value.
• Liquidity Risk: The Scheme may, however,
endeavor to minimize liquidity risk by primarily
investing the debt portion of the portfolio in relatively
liquid short-term debt & money market instruments,
units of Liquid and Overnight schemes.
Derivatives The Scheme may invest in derivative for the purpose of
hedging, portfolio balancing and other purposes as may
be permitted under the Regulations. Equity Derivatives
will be used in the form of Index Options, Index
Futures, Stock Options and Stock Futures and other
instruments as may be permitted by SEBI. Derivatives
can be either exchange traded or can be over the counter
(OTC). Exchange traded derivatives are listed and
traded on stock exchanges whereas OTC derivative
transactions are generally structured between two
counterparties. Exposure with respect to derivatives
shall be in line with regulatory limits and the limits
specified in the SID.

Procedure for creation of units in Creation Unit size
Creation of Units in exchange of Portfolio Deposit:
1. The requisite Securities constituting the Portfolio Deposit have to be
transferred to the Scheme’s Depository Participant account while the
Cash Component has to be paid to the Custodian/AMC.
2. On confirmation of the same by the Custodian/AMC, the AMC will
create and transfer the equivalent number of Units of the Scheme into
the Investor’s Depository Participant account and pay/ recover the Cash
Component and transaction handling charges, if any.
Creation of Units in Cash:
1. Subscription of scheme Units in Creation Unit Size will be made by
payment of requisite amount as determined by the AMC equivalent to
the cost incurred towards the purchase of predefined basket of
securities that represent the underlying index (i.e. portfolio deposit),
192. Cash Component and transaction handling charges, if any, only by
means of payment instruction of Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) /
National Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT) or Funds Transfer Letter /
Transfer Cheque of a bank where the Scheme has a collection account.
3. The Creation Unit will be subject to transaction handling charges incurred
by the Fund/AMC. Such transaction handling charges shall be recoverable
from the transacting Market Maker or Large Investor.
4. The Portfolio Deposit and/or 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.
5. 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
6. Creation Unit size’ is fixed number of units of the Scheme, which
is exchanged for a basket of securities underlying the designated index
called the Portfolio Deposit and a Cash Component equal to the value of
2,60,000 Units of the Scheme and/or subscribed in cash equal to the
value of said predefined units of the Scheme.
7. Creation Unit size consists of Units of scheme. Each unit of scheme
will be approximately equal to Rs10
8. ‘Portfolio Deposit’ consists of predefined basket of securities that
represent the underlying index as announced by AMC from time to time
Procedure for Redemption in Creation Unit size
1. 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. On confirmation of the same by the AMC, the
AMC will transfer the Portfolio Deposit to the Investor’s Depository

Unit size by Market Maker
3. 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.
4. Redemption proceeds will be sent to Market Makers within 3 Business
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 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
20charges and such other charges that the mutual fund may have to incur in
the course of cash subscription/redemption or accepting the Portfolio
Deposit or for giving a portfolio of securities as consideration for a
redemption request. Such transaction handling charges shall be
recoverable from the transacting Market Maker or Large Investor.
3. The Portfolio Deposit and / or Cash Component for GROWWNXT50 may
change from time to time due to change in NAV and due to any other
market factors
4. The Fund may from time to time change the size of the Creation Unit in
order to equate it with marketable lots of the underlying securities.
Example :
Each Creation Unit consists of 100,000 units XYZ ETF tracking XYZ
Index. The Creation Unit is made up of 2 components i.e. Portfolio Deposit
and Cash Component. The Portfolio Deposit will be determined by the Fund as
per the weights of each security in the Underlying Index. The value of this
Portfolio Deposit will change due to change in prices during the day. The
number of shares of each security that constitute the Portfolio Deposit will
remain constant unless there is any corporate action in the Underlying Index
or there is a rebalance in the Underlying Index or the fund manager re-
align the weights of the securities to reduce the tracking error. The example
of Creation Unit is given below for an hypothetical XYZ Index.

Portfolio Turnover Policy
Portfolio Turnover measures the volume of trading that occurs in a Scheme’s
portfolio during a given time period. The Scheme is an open-ended Exchange Traded
Fund and it is expected that there may be a number of subscriptions and repurchases
on a daily basis through Stock Exchange(s) or Market Maker and Large Investors.
Generally, turnover will depend upon the extent of purchase and redemption of units
and the need to rebalance the portfolio on account of change in the composition, if
any, and corporate actions of securities included in Nifty Next 50 Index. However, it
will be the endeavour of the Fund Manager to maintain an optimal portfolio turnover
rate commensurate with the investment objective of the Scheme and the purchase/
redemption transactions on an ongoing basis in the Scheme.

RIGHT TO RESTRICT REDEMPTION AND / OR SUSPEND
REDEMPTION OF THE UNITS:
The Fund at its sole discretion reserves the right to restrict Redemption
(including switchout) of the Units (including Plan
/Option) of the Scheme of the Fund upon occurrence of the below mentioned
events for a period not exceeding ten (10) working days in any ninety (90) days
period subject to approval of the Board of Directors of the AMC and the Trustee.
The restriction on Redemption (including switch-out) shall be applicable where
the Redemption (including switch-out) request is for a value above Rs.
2,00,000/- (Rupees Two Lakhs). Further, no restriction shall be applicable to
the Redemption / switch-out request upto Rs. 2,00,000/- (Rupees Two Lakhs).
It is further clarified that, in case of redemption request beyond Rs. 2,00,000/-
(Rupees Two Lakhs), no restriction shall be applicable on first Rs. 2,00,000/-
(Rupees Two Lakhs). The Trustee / AMC reserves the right to restrict
Redemption or suspend Redemption of the Units in the Scheme of the Fund on
account of circumstances leading to a systemic crisis or event(s) that severely
constrict market liquidity or the efficient functioning of the markets. A list of
such circumstances under which the restriction on Redemption or suspension of
Redemption of the Units in the Scheme of the Fund may be imposed are as
follows:
301. Liquidity issues- when market at large becomes illiquid affecting almost all
securities rather than any issuer specific security; or
2. Market failures / Exchange closures; or
3. Operational issues; or
4. If so directed by SEBI.
It is clarified that since the occurrence of the abovementioned
eventualities have the ability to impact the overall market and
liquidity situation, the same may result in exceptionally large number of
Redemption requests being made and in such a situation the indicative timelines
(i.e. within 3-4 Business Days) mentioned by the Fund in the scheme offering
documents, for processing of requests for Redemption may not be applicable.
Please refer to paragraphs on ‘Transfer and Transmission of units, Right to limit
Redemption, Suspension of Purchase and/ or Redemption of Units and Pledge

Exchange(s). If an investor has sold Units, an investor has to deliver the Units
to the broker/sub-broker before the securities pay- in day of the settlement
cycle on the Stock Exchange(s). The Units (in the case of Units bought) and
31the funds (in the case of Units sold) are paid out to the broker on the pay-out
day of the settlement cycle on the Stock Exchange(s). The Stock Exchange(s)
regulations stipulate that the trading member should pay the money or Units
