For detailed derivatives strategies, please refer SAI.
For detailed information about where will the scheme invest, kindly refer Section II.
C. WHAT ARE THE INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The scheme aims to generate returns by predominantly investing in a diversified portfolio of equity and equity
related instruments across market capitalization and sectors following contrarian strategy. The Fund will follow
a top-down & bottom-up approach.
The Scheme will invest in stocks of companies, which are fundamentally sound but currently are undervalued
due to prevailing market sentiments, macro-economic conditions or short term factors than have caused
mispricing of their true long-term potential. In line with a contrarian investment approach, the Scheme aims to
identify and invest in securities that the broader market may be overlooking, underestimating, or mispricing due
to temporary challenges or negative perceptions.
These undervalued securities are stocks of those companies whose fundamental value and long-term growth
potential is not yet recognized or reflected in their market price.
The scheme may invest in sectors or stocks that are currently not in market favor, even though the underlying
companies exhibit strong fundamentals and long-term growth potential.
Besides early identification of gaps in intrinsic value and market valuation, stock selection may also factor in
MOAMC’s QGLP philosophy of Invest in Quality businesses with reasonable Growth potential and with
sufficient Longevity of that growth potential at a fair Price.
The AMC will endeavor to meet the investment objective of the Scheme while maintaining a balance between
safety, liquidity and return on investments.
Stock Lending
Stock 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.
Draft SID of Motilal Oswal Contra Fund
18Portfolio Turnover
Portfolio Turnover is defined as the lower of sales or purchase divided by the average corpus during a specified
period of time. The Scheme, being an open ended Scheme, it is expected that there would be a number of
subscriptions and redemptions on a daily basis. However, it is difficult to measure with reasonable accuracy the
likely turnover in the portfolio of the Scheme.
D. HOW WILL THE SCHEME BENCHMARK ITS PERFORMANCE?
The performance of the Scheme will be benchmarked against Nifty 500 Total Return Index (TRI) as the scheme
will follow contrarian strategy. The Fund under this investment strategy will invest in equity and equity related
investments through contrarian strategy. The composition of the aforesaid benchmark is such that it is most
suited for comparing performance of the scheme.
The Trustee reserves the right to change the benchmark for evaluation of performance of the Scheme from time
to time in conformity with investment objective of the Scheme and appropriateness of the benchmark subject
to SEBI Regulations and other prevailing guidelines, if any. Total Return variant of the index (TRI) will be used
for performance comparison.
The above benchmark is in accordance with clause 1.9 of SEBI Master Circular No. SEBI/HO/IMD/IMD-PoD-
1/P/CIR/2024/90 dated June 27, 2024 on ‘Guiding Principles for bringing uniformity in Benchmarks of Mutual
Fund Schemes’ and the list published by AMFI in this regard on Tier 1 benchmark for equity schemes.

PART III- OTHER DETAILS
A. COMPUTATION OF NAV
The Net Asset Value (NAV) per unit under the Scheme will be computed by dividing the net assets of
the Scheme by the number of units outstanding on the valuation day. The Mutual Fund will value its
investments according to the valuation norms, as specified in Schedule VIII of the SEBI (MF)
Regulations, or such norms as may be specified by SEBI from time to time.
The Net Asset Value (NAV) of the units under the Scheme shall be calculated as follows:
Draft SID of Motilal Oswal Contra Fund
33NAV (Rs.) = Market or Fair Value of Scheme’s investments + Receivables + Accrued Income +
Other Assets - Accrued Expenses- Payables- Other Liabilities
_____________________________________________________________________
No. of Units outstanding under Scheme on the Valuation Day
The NAV will be calculated up to four decimals.
The AMC will calculate and disclose the first NAV of the Scheme within a period of 5 business days
from the date of allotment. Subsequently, the NAV shall be calculated and disclosed on each business
day. The computation of NAV shall be in conformity with SEBI Regulations and guidelines as prescribed
from time to time.
ILLUSTRATION OF NAV:
If the net assets of the Scheme, after considering applicable expenses, are Rs.10,45,34345.34 and units
outstanding are 10,00,0000, then the NAV per unit will be computed as follows:
10,45,34,345.34 / 10,00,000 = Rs. 10.4534 per unit (rounded off to four decimals)
Repurchase/ Resale is at Net Asset Value (NAV) related prices with repurchase/ resale loads as applicable
(within limits) as specified under SEBI Regulations 1996, While determining the price of the units, the
fund will ensure that the repurchase price is not lower than 95 per cent of the Net Asset Value.
B. NEW FUND OFFER (NFO) EXPENSES
These expenses are incurred for the purpose of various activities related to the NFO like sales and
distribution fees paid, marketing and advertising, registrar expenses, printing and stationary, bank charges
etc. The entire NFO expenses will be borne by the AMC.
C. ANNUAL SCHEME RECURRING EXPENSES
These are the fees and expenses for operating the Scheme. These expenses include but are not limited to
Investment Management and Advisory Fee charged by the AMC, Registrar and Transfer agents’ fees &
expenses, marketing and selling costs etc.
The AMC has estimated that upto 2.25% of the daily net assets of the scheme will be charged to the

* Subject to the Regulations and as permitted under Regulation 52 of SEBI (MF) Regulations, 1996, any
other expenses which are directly attributable to the Scheme, may be charged with approval of the Trustee
within the overall limits as specified in the Regulations except those expenses which are specifically
prohibited.
#Additional TER will be charged based on inflows only from retail investors (other than Corporates and
Institutions) from B 30 cities.
As per clause 10.1.3 of SEBI Master Circular No. SEBI/HO/IMD/IMD-PoD-1/P/CIR/2024/90 dated June
27, 2024, it has been decided that inflows of amount upto Rs. 2,00,000/- per transaction, by the individual
investors shall be considered as inflows from retail investors.
All scheme related expenses including commission paid to distributors, by whatever name it may be
called and in whatever manner it may be paid, shall necessarily be paid from the scheme only within the
regulatory limits and not from the books of the Asset Management Companies (AMC), its associate,
sponsor, trustee or any other entity through any route. Provided that the expenses that are very small in
value but high in volume may be paid out of AMC’s books. Such expenses can be paid out of AMC’s
Draft SID of Motilal Oswal Contra Fund
35books at actuals or not exceeding 2 bps of respective scheme AUM, whichever is lower.
However, the upfront trail commission shall be paid from AMC’s books for inflows through SIPs from
new investors as per the applicable regulations. The said commission shall be amortized on daily basis to
the scheme over the period for which the payment has been made. A complete audit trail of upfronting
of trail commissions from the AMC’s books and amortization of the same to scheme(s) thereafter shall
be made available for inspection. The said commission should be charged to the scheme as ‘commissions’
and should also account for computing the TER differential between regular and direct plans in each
scheme.
The recurring expenses of the Scheme (excluding additional expenses under regulation 52(6A)(c) and
additional distribution expenses for gross inflows from specified cities), as per SEBI Regulations are as
follows:
First Next Next Next Next Next Rs.40,000 on the balance
Rs.500 Rs.250 Rs.1,250 Rs.3,000 Rs.5,000 crore of the assets
crore crore crore crore crore

ratio reduction
of 0.05% for
every increase
of Rs. 5,000
crores of daily
net assets or part
thereof.
The expenses towards Investment Management and Advisory Fees under Regulation 52 (2) and the
various sub-heads of recurring expenses mentioned under Regulation 52 (4) of SEBI (MF) Regulations
are fungible in nature. Thus, there shall be no internal sub-limits within the expense ratio for expense
heads mentioned under Regulation 52 (2) and (4) respectively. Further, the additional expenses under
Regulation 52(6A)(c) shall also be incurred towards any of these expense heads.
All fees and expenses charged in a direct plan (in percentage terms) under various heads including the
investment and advisory fee shall not exceed the fees and expenses charged under such heads in a regular
plan. The TER of the Direct Plan will be lower to the extent of the distribution expenses/commission
which is charged in the Regular Plan and no commission for distribution of Units will be paid / charged
under the Direct Plan. Accordingly, the NAV of the Direct Plan would be different from NAV of Regular

SECTION II
I. INTRODUCTION
A. DEFINITIONS/INTERPRETATION
Link for details on definitions:
https://www.motilaloswalmf.com/download/sid-related-documents
B. RISK FACTORS
Draft SID of Motilal Oswal Contra Fund
40Scheme Specific Risk Factors: The Scheme is subject to the principal risks described below. Some or all of
these risks may adversely affect Scheme’s NAV, yield, return and/or its ability to meet its objectives.
• Risk associated with contra fund
Since the Scheme has a contrarian style of investment, it might underperform the markets in scenarios of strong
upward or downward cycles and its performance may differ from broader market performance. The Scheme
seeks to generate returns out of identifying strategies and market segments that are likely to outperform in the
future. This may or may not happen.
• Risks associated with investing in Equity and Equity related instruments:
Equity and Equity related instruments on account of its volatile nature are subject to price fluctuations on daily
basis. The volatility in the value of the equity and equity related instruments is due to various micro and macro-
economic factors affecting the securities markets. This may have adverse impact on individual securities /sector
and consequently on the NAV of Scheme. 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 schemes portfolio may result, at times, in potential losses to the scheme, should there be a
subsequently decline in the value of the securities held in the schemes portfolio. Trading volumes, settlement
periods and transfer procedures may restrict the liquidity of the investments. This may impact the ability of the
unit holders to redeem their units. In view of this, the Trustee has the right, in its sole discretion to limit
redemptions (including suspending redemptions) under certain circumstances. The Scheme may find itself
invested in unlisted securities due to external events or corporate actions. This may increase the risk of the
portfolio as these unlisted securities are inherently illiquid in nature and carry larger liquidity risk as compared
to the listed securities or those that offer other exit options to the investors. Investments in equity and equity
related securities involve high degree of risks and investors should not invest in the Scheme unless they can
afford to take the risk of losing their investment.
• Right to Limit Redemptions
Pursuant to clause 1.12 of SEBI Master Circular SEBI/HO/IMD/IMD-PoD-1/P/CIR/2024/90 dated June 27,
2024, the Trustee, in the general interest of the unit holders of the Scheme offered under this SID 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 subject to the guidelines/circulars issued by the Regulatory Authorities
from time to time.
For detailed restrictions, please refer to Section II Part D, "Right to Limit Redemptions."
• Asset Class Risk
The returns from the types of securities in which the Scheme invests may underperform 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 with the general securities markets.
• Market Risk
The Scheme’s NAV will react to stock market movements. The Investor may lose money over short or long
Draft SID of Motilal Oswal Contra Fund
41period due to fluctuation in Scheme’s NAV in response to factors such as performance of companies whose
stock comprises the underlying portfolio, economic and political developments, changes in interest rates,
inflation and other monetary factors and movement in prices of underlining investments.
• Interest Rate Risk
Changes in interest rates will affect the Scheme’s Net Asset Value. The prices of securities usually increase as
interest rates decline and usually decrease as interest rates rise. The extent of fall or rise in the prices is guided
by duration, which is a function of the existing coupon, days to maturity and increase or decrease in the level
of interest rate. The new level of interest rate is determined by the rate at which the government raises new
money and/or the price levels at which the market is already dealing in existing securities. Prices of long-term
securities generally fluctuate more in response to interest rate changes than short-term securities. The price risk
is low in the case of the floating rate or inflation-linked bonds. The price risk does not exist if the investment is
made under a repo agreement. Debt markets, especially in developing markets like India, can be volatile leading
to the possibility of price movements up or down in fixed income securities and thereby to possible movements
in the NAV.
• 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). Even where no default occurs, the prices of security may go down because the credit rating of an
issuer goes down. It must be, however, noted that where the Scheme has invested in Government securities,
there is no risk to that extent.
• Liquidity or Marketability Risk
This refers to the ease at which a security can be sold at or near its true value. The primary measure of liquidity
risk is the spread between the bid price and the offer price quoted by a dealer. Liquidity risk is characteristic of
the Indian fixed income market. Trading Volumes, settlement periods and transfer procedures may restrict the
liquidity of the investments made by the Scheme. Different segments of the Indian financial markets have
different settlement periods and such period may be extended significantly by unforeseen circumstances leading
to delays in receipt of proceeds from sale of securities. As liquidity of the investments made by the Scheme
could, at times, be restricted by trading volumes and settlement periods, the time taken by the Fund for
redemption of units may be significant in the event of an inordinately large number of redemption requests or
restructuring of the Scheme.
• 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 the 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.
Derivative products are specialized instruments that require investment techniques and risk analysis different
from those associated with stocks. The use of a derivative requires an understanding not only of the underlying
Draft SID of Motilal Oswal Contra Fund
42instrument but 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. There is a possibility that a loss may be sustained by the
portfolio 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 mis-pricing or improper
valuation of derivatives and the inability of derivatives 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. 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.
• Risks associated with Segregated portfolio
The AMC / Trustee shall decide on creation of segregated portfolio of the Scheme in case of a credit event/actual
default at issuer level. Accordingly, Investor holding units of segregated portfolio may not able to liquidate their
holding till the time recovery of money from the issuer. The Security comprised of segregated portfolio may
not realise any value. Further, 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 associated with Stock Lending
Stock Lending is a lending of securities through an SEBI 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.
In case the Scheme undertakes stock lending as prescribed in the Regulations, it may, at times be exposed to
counter party risk and other risks associated with the securities lending. Unitholders of the Scheme should note
that there are risks inherent to securities lending, including the risk of failure of the other party, in this case the
approved intermediary, to comply with the terms of the agreement entered into between the lender of securities
i.e. the Scheme and the approved intermediary. Such failure can result in the 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 any corporate benefits accruing to the lender from the
securities lent. The Fund may not be able to sell such lent securities and this can lead to temporary illiquidity.
• Trading through mutual fund trading platforms of BSE and/ or NSE
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 Mutual Fund has no control.
• Risk associated with investing in fixed income securities and Money Market Instruments
a. Credit risk: Credit risk or default risk refers to the risk which may arise due to default on the part of the
issuer of the fixed income security (i.e. will be unable to make timely principal and interest payments on the
security). Because of this risk debenture are sold at a yield spread above those offered on Treasury securities,
Draft SID of Motilal Oswal Contra Fund
43which are sovereign obligations and generally considered to be free of credit risk. Normally, the value of a fixed
income security will fluctuate depending upon the actual changes in the perceived level of credit risk as well as
the actual event of default.
b. Counterparty risk: Counterparty 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.
c. Interest Rate risk: This risk is associated with movements in interest rate depends on various factors such
as government borrowing, inflation, economic performance etc. The value of investments will
appreciate/depreciate if the interest rates fall/rise. However, if the investments are held on till maturity of the
investments, the value of the investments will not be subjected to this risk. d. Reinvestment risk: This risk arises
from uncertainty in the rate at which cash flows from the securities may be reinvested. This is because the bond
will pay coupons, which will have to be reinvested. The rate at which the coupons will be reinvested will depend
upon prevailing market rates at the time the coupons are received.
d. Liquidity or Marketability Risk: This refers to the ease at which a security can be sold at or near its true
value. The primary measure of liquidity risk is the spread between the bid price and the offer price quoted by a
dealer. Liquidity risk is characteristic of the Indian fixed income market.
e. Different types of fixed income securities in which the Scheme would invest carry different levels and types
of risk. Accordingly, the Scheme risk may increase or decrease depending upon its investment pattern. e.g.
corporate bonds carry a higher level of risk than Government securities. Further even among corporate bonds,
bonds, which are AAA rated, are comparatively less risky than bonds, which are AA rated.
f. The Net Asset Value (NAV) of the Scheme, to the extent invested in Debt and Money Market securities, will
be affected by changes in the general level of interest rates. The NAV of the Scheme is expected to increase
from a fall in interest rates while it would be adversely affected by an increase in the level of interest rates.
g. Settlement Risk: Different segments of Indian financial markets have different settlement periods and such
periods may be extended significantly by unforeseen circumstances. Delays or other problems in settlement of
transactions could result in temporary periods when the assets of the Scheme are un invested and no return is
earned thereon. 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, due to the absence of a well-developed and liquid secondary market for debt
securities, may result at times in potential losses.
• Risk Factors Associated with Investments in REITs and InvITs:
▪ Risk of lower than expected distributions
The distributions by the REIT or InvITs 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/
Draft SID of Motilal Oswal Contra Fund
44InvITs receives as IDCWs on the interest and principal payments from portfolio assets. The cash flows
generated by portfolio assets from operations may fluctuate primarily based on the below, amongst other
things:
• Success and economic viability of tenants and off-takers
• Economic cycles and risks inherent in the business which may negatively impact valuations, returns
and profitability of portfolio assets
• Force majeure events related such as earthquakes, floods, etc. rendering the portfolio assets inoperable
• Debt service requirements and other liabilities of the portfolio assets
• Fluctuations in the working capital needs of the portfolio assets
• Ability of portfolio assets to borrow funds and access capital markets
• Changes in applicable laws and regulations, which may restrict the payment of IDCWs by portfolio
assets
• Amount and timing of capital expenditures on portfolio assets
• Insurance policies may not provide adequate protection against various risks associated with operations
of the REIT/ InvITs such as fire, natural disasters, accidents, etc.
• Taxation and regulatory factors
▪ Price Risk
The valuation of REIT/ InvITs units may fluctuate based on economic conditions, fluctuations in markets
(e.g. Real estate) in which the REIT/ InvITs operates and resulting impact on the value of the portfolio of
assets, regulatory changes, force majeure events, etc. REITs and InvITs may have volatile cash flows. As
an indirect shareholder of portfolio assets, unit holders’ rights are subordinated to the rights of creditors,
debt holders and other parties specified under Indian Law in the event to insolvency or liquidation of any
of the portfolio assets.
▪ Market Risk
REITs and InvITs are volatile and prone to price fluctuations on a daily basis owing to market movements.
Investors may note that AMC/ Fund Manager’s investment decisions may not always be profitable, as
actual market movements may be at variance with the anticipated trends. The NAV of the Scheme is
vulnerable to movements in the prices of securities invested by the scheme, due to various market related
factors like changes in the general market conditions, factors and forces affecting capital market, level of
interest rates, trading volumes, settlement periods and transfer procedures.
▪ Liquidity Risk
As the liquidity of the investments made by the Scheme(s) could, at times, be restricted by trading volumes
and settlement periods, the time taken by the Mutual Fund for liquidating the investments in the scheme
may be high in the event of immediate redemption requirement. Investment in such securities may lead to
increase in the scheme portfolio risk.
▪ Reinvestment Risk
Investments in REITs & InvITs may carry reinvestment risk as there could be repatriation of funds by the
Trusts in form of buyback of units or IDCW pay-outs, etc. Consequently, the proceeds may get invested in
Draft SID of Motilal Oswal Contra Fund
45assets providing lower returns.
• Risks associated with investing in Government of India Securities
a. Market Liquidity risk with fixed rate Government of India Securities even though the Government of India
Securities market is more liquid compared to other debt instruments, on certain occasions, there could be
difficulties in transacting in the market due to extreme volatility leading to constriction in market volumes.
Also, the liquidity of the Scheme may suffer in case the relevant guidelines issued by Reserve Bank of
India undergo any adverse changes.
b. Interest Rate risk associated with Government of India Securities - while Government of India Securities
generally carry relatively minimal credit risk since they are issued by the Government of India, they do
carry price risk depending upon the general level of interest rates prevailing from time to time. Generally,
when interest rates rise, prices of fixed income securities fall and when interest rates decline, the prices of
fixed income securities increase. The extent of fall or rise in the prices is a function of the coupon rate,
days to maturity and the increase or decrease in the level of interest rates. The price-risk is not unique to
Government of India Securities. It exists for all fixed income securities. Therefore, their prices tend to be
influenced more by movement in interest rates in the financial system than by changes in the government's
credit rating. By contrast, in the case of corporate or institutional fixed income Securities, such as bonds
or debentures, prices are influenced by their respective credit standing as well as the general level of interest
rates.
• Risks associated with investing in TREPS Segments
The mutual fund is a member of securities and TREPS segments of the Clearing Corporation of India (CCIL).
All transactions of the mutual fund in government securities and in TREPS segments 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). The mutual fund is exposed to the extent of its contribution to the default
fund of CCIL at any given point in time. In the event that the default waterfall is triggered and the
contribution of the mutual fund is called upon to absorb settlement/default losses of another member by
CCIL, the scheme may lose an amount equivalent to its contribution to the default fund allocated to the
scheme on a pro-rata basis.
• Risk associated with Investment in foreign securities/overseas investments
The Scheme may invest in foreign securities. Such overseas investments will be made subject to necessary
approvals, conditions thereof as may be stipulated from time to time. The investment in foreign securities
carries an exchange rate risks related to depreciation of foreign currency and country risks. The country risks
would include events such as change in regulations or political circumstances like introduction of
extraordinary exchange rate controls, restrictions on repatriation of capital due to exchange rate controls,
bilateral political tensions leading to immobilisation of overseas financial assets and the prevalent tax laws of
the respective jurisdiction for the execution of trades or otherwise. As the Scheme shall invest in securities
listed on the overseas stock exchange, all the risk factors pertaining to overseas stock exchange like market
Draft SID of Motilal Oswal Contra Fund
46trading risk, liquidity risk and volatility risk, as mentioned earlier, are also applicable to the Scheme. The
Scheme will also be exposed to settlement risk; as different countries have different settlement periods.
• Risk associated with potential change in Tax structure
This summary of tax implications given in the taxation section (Units and Offer Section III) is based on the
current provisions of the applicable tax laws. This information is provided for general purpose only. The
current taxation laws may change due to change in the ‘Income Tax Act 1961’ or any subsequent
changes/amendments in Finance Act/Rules/Regulations. Any change may entail a higher outgo to the scheme
or to the investors by way of securities transaction taxes, fees, taxes etc. thus adversely impacting the scheme
and its returns.
Risk Control
Risk is an inherent part of the investment function. Effective Risk management is critical to fund management
for achieving financial soundness. Investment by the Scheme would be made as per the investment objective of
the Scheme and in accordance with SEBI Regulations. AMC has adequate safeguards to manage risk in the
portfolio construction process. Risk control would involve managing risk in order to keep in line with the
investment objective of the Scheme. The risk control process would include identifying the risk and taking
proper measures for the same. The system has incorporated all the investment restrictions as per the SEBI
guidelines and enables identifying and measuring the risk through various risk management tools like various
portfolio analytics, risk ratios, average duration and analyses the same and acts in a preventive manner.
C. RISK MITIGATION STRATEGIES

on the security).
D. REQUIREMENT OF MINIMUM INVESTORS IN THE SCHEME
The Scheme/Plan shall have a minimum of 20 investors and no single investor shall account for more than 25%
of the corpus of the Scheme/Plan(s). In case the Scheme / Plan(s) does not have a minimum of 20 investors in
the stipulated period, the provisions of Regulation 39(2)(c) of the SEBI (MF) Regulations would become
applicable automatically without any reference from SEBI and accordingly the Scheme / Plan(s) shall be wound
up and the units would be redeemed at applicable NAV. The two conditions mentioned above shall also be
complied within each subsequent calendar quarter thereafter, on an average basis, as specified by SEBI. If there
is a breach of the 25% limit by any investor over the quarter, a rebalancing period of one month would be
allowed and thereafter the investor who is in breach of the rule shall be given 15 days’ notice to redeem his
exposure over the 25 % limit. Failure on the part of the said investor to redeem his exposure over the 25 % limit
within the aforesaid 15 days would lead to automatic redemption by the Mutual Fund on the applicable Net
Asset Value on the 15th day of the notice period. The Fund shall adhere to the requirements prescribed by SEBI
from time to time in this regard.
