III. Scheme type An open-ended equity scheme investing in Financial Services Sector
IV. Scheme code (To be disclosed at the time of NFO)
V. Investment objective The primary objective of the Scheme is to generate long-term capital
appreciation by investing in equity or equity related instruments across
market capitalization of companies deriving majority of their income from
financial Services businesses.
However, there is no assurance that the investment objective of the scheme
will be realized.
VI. Liquidity The Scheme offers Units for subscription and redemption at Applicable
NAV on all Business Days on an ongoing basis.
As per SEBI Regulations, the Mutual Fund shall dispatch redemption
proceeds within 3 Working days of receiving a valid redemption request. A
penal interest of 15% per annum or such other rate as may be prescribed by
SEBI from time to time, will be paid in case the redemption proceeds are
not made within 3 Working days from the date of receipt of a valid
redemption request.
The units of the Scheme are presently not proposed to be listed on any stock
exchange.
VII. Benchmark (Total Return Nifty Financial Services Total Return Index
Index)
Justification:
The performance of the Scheme will be benchmarked against Nifty
Financial Services Total Return Index, as the scheme will follow financial
services sector theme.
The scheme will invest in equity and equity related securities based on
financial services sector. Nifty Financial Services Total Return Index
includes companies from the financial services sector such as banks,
financial institutions, housing finance companies, and insurance companies.
The index universe ensures that the benchmark reflects the performance of
relevant companies, making it a suitable comparison for the Scheme.
Draft SID of Motilal Oswal Financial Services Fund
4Hence, the above mentioned benchmark will be able to give a true and
accurate comparative analysis. Total Return variant of the index (TRI) will
be used for performance comparison.
VIII. NAV disclosure The AMC will calculate and disclose the first NAV of the Scheme within a
period of 5 Business days from the date of allotment under the NFO.
Thereafter, the NAV will be calculated on all business days and shall be
disclosed in the manner specified by SEBI. The AMC shall update the
NAVs on its website www.motilaloswalmf.com and also on AMFI website

deemed fit.

While making investment decisions, besides other factors, the impact of the prevailing economic environment
over the medium to long term prospects of the companies will also be taken into consideration.
The Scheme will be actively managed and will have the flexibility to invest across market capitalization and

focused, high conviction, high-quality and high-Growth portfolio.
The portfolio will essentially follow MOAMC’s QGLP philosophy – i.e. invest in Quality businesses with

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.
Portfolio 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.

scheme will follow financial services sector theme.

Services Total Return Index includes companies from the financial services sector such as banks, financial
institutions, housing finance companies, and insurance companies. The index universe ensures that the benchmark
reflects the performance of relevant companies, making it a suitable comparison for the Scheme.
The allocation in the Scheme would be minimum 80% in equity and equity related instruments companies that
derive a majority of their income from Financial Services business, 0 - 20% in Equity & Equity related instruments
of Other than Financial Services sector companies and overseas securities, 0-20% in debt and money market
instruments, 0 - 10% in the units issued by REITs and InvITs, and 0-5% in the units of Mutual Funds.

31Scheme 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.

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:

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

33limits 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 books 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

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 Plan.
Goods and Services Tax (GST):
In addition to expenses under Regulation 52(6) and (6A), AMC may charge GST on investment and advisory
Draft SID of Motilal Oswal Financial Services Fund
34fees, expenses other than investment and advisory fees and brokerage and transaction cost as below:
1. GST on investment and advisory fees charged to the scheme will be in addition to the maximum limit of
TER as prescribed in regulation 52 (6) of the SEBI Regulations.
2. GST on expenses other than investment and advisory fees, if any, shall be borne by the scheme within the
maximum limit of TER as per regulation 52 of the SEBI Regulations.
3. GST on exit load, if any, will be paid out of the exit load proceeds and exit load net of GST, if any, shall
be credited to the scheme.
4. GST on brokerage and transaction cost paid for execution of trade, if any, shall be within the limit
prescribed under regulation 52 of the SEBI Regulations.
In accordance with Regulation 52(6A), the following expenses can be charged in addition to the existing total
recurring expenses charged under Regulation 52(6):
As per clause 10.1.14 of SEBI Master Circular No. SEBI/HO/IMD/IMD-PoD-1/P/CIR/2024/90 dated June
27, 2024, brokerage and transaction costs which are incurred for the purpose of execution of trade shall be
charged to the Scheme, not exceeding 0.12 % in case of cash market transactions and 0.05 % in case of
derivatives transactions;Any payment towards brokerage and transaction costs, over and above the said 12
bps and 5 bps for cash market and derivatives transactions respectively, shall be charged to the Scheme within
the total recurring expenses limit specified under Regulation 52 of SEBI Regulations. Any expenditure in
excess of the said limit will be borne by the AMC/Trustees/Sponsors.
In addition to the limits as specified in Regulation 52(6) of SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations 1996 or the
Total Recurring Expenses (Total Expense Limit) as specified above, the following costs or expenses may be
charged to the scheme:
Additional TER can be charged up to 30 basis points on daily net assets of the scheme as per regulation 52 of
SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996 (hereinafter referred to as Regulations), if the new inflows from
beyond top 30 cities are at least (a) 30% of gross new inflows in the scheme or (b) 15% of the average assets
under management (year to date) of the scheme, whichever is higher Provided that expenses charged under
this clause shall be utilised for distribution expenses incurred for bringing inflows from such cities
In case inflows from beyond top 30 cities is less than the higher of (a) or (b) above, additional TER on daily
net assets of the scheme shall be charged as follows:
Daily net assets X 30 basis points X New inflows from beyond top 30 cities
365* X Higher of (a) or (b) above
* 366, wherever applicable.
The top 30 cities shall mean top 30 cities based on Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) data on
‘AUM by Geography – Consolidated Data for Mutual Fund Industry’ as at the end of the previous financial

The additional TER on account of inflows from beyond top 30 cities so charged shall be clawed back in case
the same is redeemed within a period of 1 year from the date of investment.
Mutual funds/AMCs shall make complete disclosures in the half yearly report of Trustees to SEBI regarding
the efforts undertaken by them to increase geographical penetration of mutual funds and the details of opening
of new branches, especially at locations beyond top 30 cities.
As per AMFI letter no. 35P/ MEM-COR/ 85-a/ 2022-23 dated March 02, 2023 on B-30 Incentive Mechanism,
AMC has been advised to keep the B-30 incentive structure in abeyance with effect from March 01, 2023 till
any further guidelines regarding necessary safeguards are issued by SEBI.

Exit 1% - If redeemed within 90 days from the day of allotment.
Nil - If redeemed after 90 days from the date of allotment.
Exit Load will be applicable on switch amongst the Schemes of MOMF. No Load shall
be imposed for switching between Options within the Scheme. Further, it is clarified
that there will be no exit load charged on a switch-out amongst the plans within the
same scheme.
The investor is requested to check the prevailing load structure of the Scheme before investing.
The repurchase price shall not be lower than 95% of the NAV.
Any imposition or enhancement in the load structure shall apply on a prospective basis and in no case the
same would affect the existing investors adversely. Bonus units and units issued on reinvestment of IDCWs
shall not be subject to entry and exit load.
Under the Scheme, the AMC reserves the right to modify/alter the load structure if it so deems fit in the interest
of smooth and efficient functioning of the scheme, subject to maximum limits as prescribed under the SEBI
Regulations. The load may also be changed from time to time and in case of exit/redemption, load may be
linked to the period of holding.
For any change in the load structure, the AMC would undertake the following steps:
1. The addendum detailing the changes will be attached to SID and Key Information Memorandum (KIM).
The addendum will be circulated to all the distributors so that the same can be attached to all SID and
KIM already in stock.
2. Arrangements shall be made to display the changes/modifications in the SID in the form of a notice in all
Investor Service Centres and distributors/brokers’ offices.

I. INTRODUCTION
A. DEFINITIONS/INTERPRETATION

B. RISK FACTORS
Scheme Specific Risk Factors:
Motilal Oswal Financial Services Fund is a sectoral fund focusing to invest in financial service companies. The
scheme performance is closely tied to the dynamics of the financial sector and may not align with the broader,
more diversified market trends. Investors should be aware that the Scheme's returns could be more volatile and
sector-specific compared to a diversified portfolio that includes multiple industries.
Risks associated with investing in Equities
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
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.
Draft SID of Motilal Oswal Financial Services Fund
38 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.
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.
• Market Risk
The Scheme’s NAV will react to stock market movements. The Investor may lose money over short or long
period 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.
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.
Draft SID of Motilal Oswal Financial Services Fund
39 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
instrument 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
Draft SID of Motilal Oswal Financial Services Fund
40securities 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,
which 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
Draft SID of Motilal Oswal Financial Services Fund
41periods 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/ InvITs
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
Draft SID of Motilal Oswal Financial Services Fund
42changes 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
assets 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.
Draft SID of Motilal Oswal Financial Services Fund
43 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 trading 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. 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
Draft SID of Motilal Oswal Financial Services Fund
45applicable 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
