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.
Tracking Error
Tracking error is defined as the standard deviation of the difference between the daily returns of the benchmark
and the NAV of the Scheme. Theoretically, the corpus of the Scheme has to be fully invested in the underlying
asset However, it is not possible to invest as per the objective due to reason that the Scheme has to incur expenses,
corporate actions regulatory policies, lack of liquidity, etc. The Scheme’s returns may therefore deviate from
those of its benchmark. Tracking Error may arise due to the following reasons:
1. Fees and expenses of the Scheme.
2. Cash balance held by the Scheme due to dividend received, subscriptions, redemption, etc.
3. Halt in trading on the stock exchange due to circuit filter rules.
4. Corporate actions
5. The Scheme has to invest in the underlying asset in whole numbers and has to round off the quantity of
underlying asset.
6. Market conditions may not offer an opportunity to rebalance its portfolio to match the underlying asset and
such delay may affect the NAV of the Scheme.
7. Lack of Liquidity
The AMC would monitor the tracking error of the Scheme on an ongoing basis. Under normal market
circumstances, such tracking error is not expected to exceed by 2% p.a.
In case of unavoidable circumstances in the nature of force majeure, which are beyond the control of the AMC,
the tracking error may exceed 2% and the same will be intimated to the Trustees with corrective actions taken by
the AMC, if any.
Tracking Error: The Fund shall disclose the tracking error based on past one year rolling data, on a daily basis, on
the website of the Mutual Fund and AMFI.
Tracking Difference: The annualized difference of daily returns between the index and the NAV of the Fund shall
be disclosed on the website of the Mutual Fund and AMFI, on a monthly basis, for tenures 1 year, 3 years, 5 years,
10 years and since the date of allotment of units.
For detailed derivatives strategies, please refer SAI.
D. HOW WILL THE SCHEME BENCHMARK ITS PERFORMANCE?
The performance of the Scheme will be benchmarked against domestic price of physical silver as the scheme will
invests primarily in physical silver and silver related instruments.

F. HOW IS THE SCHEME DIFFERENT FROM EXISTING SCHEMES OF THE MUTUAL FUND?
Motilal Oswal Silver ETF is an open-ended scheme replicating / tracking domestic price of physical silver. It is a
commodity-based scheme, and its performance is directly linked to the price movement of silver in the Indian
market. In contrast, all other schemes are equity index funds/ETFs, hybrid schemes, or international fund-of-funds,
which invest in stocks or bonds, not in commodities.
The following list consists of existing passively managed open ended equity Index/ ETF schemes of Motilal Oswal

26Part 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.

NAV (Rs.) = Market or Fair Value of Scheme’s investments + Receivables + Current Assets - Current Liabilities
And Provision

No. of Units outstanding under Scheme on the Valuation Day
The NAV will be calculated up to four decimals.
The NAV shall be calculated and disclosed on each business day. The computation of NAV shall be in conformity

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:

The repurchase price shall not be lower than 95% of the NAV. For other details such as policies w.r.t computation
of NAV, rounding off, investment in foreign securities, procedure in case of delay in disclosure of NAV etc. refer

consecutive trading days.
In case of the above scenarios, applications received from investors for redemption upto 3.00 p.m. on any trading
day, shall be processed by the AMC at the closing NAV of the day. The above instances shall be tracked by the
AMC on a continuous basis and in case if any of the above mentioned scenario arises, the same shall be disclosed
on the website of AMC. The investor is requested to check the prevailing load structure of the Scheme before
investing. For any change in load structure, AMC will issue an addendum and display it on the website/Investor
Service Centers. 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. 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 Centers and distributors/ brokers offices.
3. The introduction of the exit load along with the details shall be stamped in the acknowledgement slip
issued to the investors on submission of the application form and may also be disclosed in the statement
of accounts issued after the introduction of such load.
4. The Fund shall display the addendum on its website (www.motilaloswalmf.com).
5. Any other measure that the Mutual Fund shall consider necessary.

32SECTION II
I. INTRODUCTION
A. Definitions/Interpretation
For detailed description please refer https://www.motilaloswalmf.com/download/sid-related-documents
B. Requirement of Minimum Investors
As Motilal Oswal Silver ETF is an exchange traded fund, the provision of minimum number of investors and
maximum holding by the investor is not applicable as per clause 6.11.4.2 of SEBI Master Circular for Mutual
Funds no. SEBI/HO/IMD/IMD-PoD-1/P/CIR/2024/90 dated June 27, 2024.
C. Risk Factors
Scheme Specific Risk Factors:
The value of Silver can be highly volatile, influenced by global economic conditions, geopolitical events, changes
in interest rates, and fluctuations in currency exchange rates, especially between the US dollar and Indian rupee.
These factors can lead to significant price swings, impacting returns for investors. Additionally, silver does not
generate any regular income like dividends or interest, making its returns solely dependent on price appreciation.
There are also risks related to liquidity, as market demand for silver ETFs can vary, potentially affecting the ability
to buy or sell units at favorable prices. Furthermore, the scheme may face tracking errors, where the ETF’s
performance may deviate from the actual price of Silver due to fund expenses or imperfect replication of the silver
price.
1. Risks associated with the Scheme:
Passive Management of Investments: Scheme shall follow a passive investment strategy. The scheme shall
invest in Silver regardless of their investment merit. The scheme does not aim to take any defensive position
in case of falling markets.
Active Market: Although the units of the scheme are listed on the exchange, there can be no assurance that an
active secondary market will be developed or maintained. The AMC and the Trustees will not be liable for
delay in trading of Units on Stock Exchange due to the occurrence of any event beyond their control. For an
investor in less than creation unit size, exchange quotes may not be always available.
Liquidity Risk: Trading in units of the scheme on the Exchange may be halted because of market conditions
or for reasons that in view of the Exchange authorities or SEBI, trading in units of the scheme is not advisable.
In addition, trading in units is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility and pursuant
to Stock Exchange(s) and SEBI ‘circuit filter’ rules as applicable from time to time. There can be no assurance
that the requirements of the exchange(s) necessary to maintain the listing of units of the scheme will continue
to be met or will remain unchanged.
Redemption Risk: The AMC will appoint Authorised Participants (APs)/ Market Makers (MMs) to provide
liquidity for the units of Silver ETFs in the secondary market on an ongoing basis. The Market Maker(s) would
offer daily two-way quotes (buy and sell quotes) in the market. Further, the price received upon redemption
of units may be less than the value of the silver represented by them.
Regulatory change: Any changes in trading regulations by the Stock Exchange(s) or SEBI may affect the
ability of market makers to arbitrage resulting in wider premium / discount to NAV. The Units of the Scheme
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Draft SID of Motilal Oswal Silver ETF
33may trade above or below their NAV. The NAV of the Scheme will fluctuate with changes in the market value
of Scheme’s holdings. The trading prices of Units of the Scheme will fluctuate in accordance with changes in
their NAV as well as market supply and demand for the Units of the Scheme.
Settlement: The Units will be issued only in demat form through depositories. The records of the depository
are final with respect to the number of Units available to the credit of the Unit holder. Settlement of trades,
repurchase of Units by the Mutual Fund during liquidity window depends upon the confirmations to be
received from depository(ies) on which the Mutual Fund has no control.
2. Risks associated with Silver/commodity:
Global silver supplies and demand, which is influenced by factors such as forward selling by silver producers,
purchases made by silver producers to unwind silver hedge positions. Productions and cost levels in major silver
producing countries can also impact silver prices. Further, Central bank purchases and sales also impact the price
of Silver. The prices of silver are also affected:
Macro-economic factors: Expected rate of inflation versus actual may impact the price of silver. Global or
regional political, economic or financial events and situations of countries, changes in interest rates and
perceived trends in bullion prices, exchange rates, inflation trends, market movements, etc. can also impact price
and demand / supply.
Central banks’ sale: Central banks across the world hold a part of their reserves in silver. The quantum of their
sale in the market is one of the major determinants of silver prices. A higher supply than anticipated would lead
to subdued Silver prices and vice versa. Central banks buy Silver to augment their existing reserves and to
diversify from other asset classes. This acts as a support factor for Silver prices. • Mining & Production – Lower
production could have a positive effect on silver prices. Conversely excessive production capacities would lead
to a downward movement in Silver prices as the supply goes up.
Currency exchange rates: A weakening dollar may act in favor of Silver prices and vice versa.
Changes in regulations or taxes or any other levies: Any changes in trading regulations by the stock exchange(s)
or SEBI may affect the ability of Authorized Participant to arbitrage resulting in wider premium / discount to
NAV. Any changes in the regulations relating to import and export of Silver or Silver jewelry (including customs
duty, sales tax and any such other statutory levies) may affect the ability of the Scheme to buy / sell Silver
against the purchase and redemption requests received. Any change in the rates of indirect taxation / applicable
taxes would affect the valuation of the Scheme.
Seasonal demand: Demand for silver in India is closely tied to the production of jewelry which tends to increase
ahead of festive seasons. Any factor impacting the seasonal demand will impact the prices of silver Regulatory
risk – Movement/trade of Silver that may be imposed by RBI. Trade and restrictions on import/export of Silver
or Silver jewelry etc may also impact prices and demand/supply.
Market Liquidity: There can be no assurance that the requirements of the market necessary to maintain the listing
of Silver ETF will continue to be met or will remain unchanged. Silver ETF may suffer liquidity risk from
domestic as well as international markets.
Demand-Supply mismatch: To the extent that demand for silver exceeds the available supply at that time,
Authorized Participants may not be able to readily acquire sufficient amounts of silver necessary for the creation
of a Basket. Market speculation in silver could result in increased requests for the issuances. It is possible that
Authorized Participants may be unable to acquire sufficient silver that is acceptable for delivery for the issuance
of new Baskets due to a limited then-available supply coupled with a surge in demand for the ETF units. In such
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Draft SID of Motilal Oswal Silver ETF
34circumstances, the AMC may suspend or restrict the issuance of Baskets. Such occurrence may lead to further
volatility in the price and deviations, which may be significant, in the market price of the ETF units relative to
the NAV.
Market volatility: The Silver market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have
often been unrelated or disproportionate to factors such as silver’s uses in jewelry, technology, and industrial
applications, or cost and production levels in major silver-producing countries.
Indirect Taxation: For the valuation of silver by the Scheme, indirect taxes like customs duty, VAT, etc. would
also be considered. Hence, any change in the rates of indirect taxation / applicable taxes would affect the
valuation of the Scheme.
3. Risks Factors Associated with Handling, Storing and Safekeeping of Physical Silver
All physical Silver procured must follow the guidelines as prescribed by SEBI. Risk arises when part or all of the
Silver held by the Fund could be lost, stolen or damaged and access to Silver may be restricted due to natural
calamities or human actions, loss or damage directly or indirectly occasioned by, happening through or in
consequence of war, invasion, acts of foreign enemies, hostilities (whether war be declared or not), civil war,
rebellion, revolution, insurrection, military or usurped power. Loss due to aridity, humidity, exposure to light or
extremes of temperature. Hence, the Custodian maintains insurance in regard to the business on terms and conditions
and the custodian is also responsible for all costs arising from the insurance policies. The custodian taking delivery
on behalf of the AMC needs to ensure the weight, purity, and the source of Silver as specified under the guidelines
issued by SEBI. Since this is paramount to the SEBI guidelines, the risk arises in violation of same. Safekeeping of
physical Silver requires appropriate vaulting space, confirming to the best global standards. The vaulting agents
engaged by the custodian need to ensure the same.
4. Risks Factors Associated with Custody of Physical Silver
The Custodian is responsible for the safekeeping of the Silver bullion and also facilitates the transfer of silver bullion
into and out of the vault. Although the Custodian is a clearer and approved weigher under the rules of the LBMA
(which sets out good practices for participants in the bullion market), the LBMA is not an official or governmental
regulatory body. Accordingly, the Scheme is dependent on the Custodian to comply with the best practices of the
LBMA and to implement satisfactory internal controls for its silver bullion custody operations in order to keep the
silver bullion secure.
The Custodian is responsible for loss or damage to the silver only under limited circumstances. The Custodian
Agreement contemplates that the Custodian will be responsible to the AMC only if it acts with negligence, fraud or
in wilful default of its obligations under the Custodian Agreement. In addition, the Custodian has agreed to
indemnify the Trust for any loss or liability directly resulting from a breach of the Custodian’s representations and
warranties in the Custodian Agreement, a failure of the Custodian to act in accordance with the instructions or any
physical loss, destruction or damage to the silver held for the Trust’s account, except for losses due to nuclear fission
or fusion, radioactivity, war, terrorist event, invasion, insurrection, civil commotion, riot, strike, act of government
or public authority, act of God or a similar cause that is beyond the control of the Custodian for which the Custodian
will not be responsible to the AMC. The Custodian’s liability to the AMC, if any, will be limited to the value of any
silver lost, or the amount of any balance held on an unallocated basis, at the time of the Custodian’s negligence,
fraud or wilful default, or at the time of the act or omission giving rise to the claim for indemnification.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Draft SID of Motilal Oswal Silver ETF
35Neither the Shareholders nor any Market Makers have a right under the Custodian Agreement to assert a claim
against the Custodian. Claims under the Custodian Agreement may only be asserted by the AMC.
The procedures agreed with the Custodian contemplate that the Custodian must undertake certain tasks in connection
with the inspection of silver delivered by Market Makers in exchange for Baskets. The Custodian’s inspection
includes review of the corresponding bar list to ensure that it accurately describes the weight, fineness, refiner marks
and bar number appearing on the silver bars, but does not include any chemical or other tests designed to verify that
the silver received does, in fact, meet the purity requirements. Accordingly, such inspection procedures may not
prevent the deposit of silver that fails to meet these purity standards. The Custodian will not be responsible or liable
to the Trust or to any investor in the event any silver otherwise properly inspected by it does not meet the purity
requirements. The AMC does not insure its silver (Underlying silver of the scheme). The Custodian maintains
insurance on such terms and conditions as it considers appropriate in connection with its custodial obligations under
the Custodian Agreement and is responsible for all costs, fees and expenses arising from the insurance policy or
policies. The AMC is not a beneficiary of any such insurance and does not have the ability to dictate the existence,
nature or amount of coverage. Therefore, Unitholders cannot be assured that the Custodian maintains adequate
insurance or any insurance with respect to the silver held by the Custodian on behalf of the Trust.
5. Risks Associated with Debt and Money Market Instruments
Price-Risk or Interest-Rate Risk: Fixed income securities such as bonds, debentures and money market
instruments run price-risk or interest-rate risk. Generally, when interest rates rise, prices of existing fixed income
securities fall and when interest rates drop, such prices increase. The extent of fall or rise in the prices is a function
of the existing coupon, days to maturity and the increase or decrease in the level of interest rates.
Credit Risk: 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 with which a security can be sold at or near to its
valuation yield-to-maturity (YTM). The primary measure of liquidity risk is the spread between the bid price and
the offer price quoted by a dealer. Liquidity risk is today characteristic of the Indian fixed income market.
Reinvestment Risk: Investments in fixed income securities may carry reinvestment risk as interest rates
prevailing on the interest or maturity due dates may differ from the original coupon of the bond. Consequently,
the proceeds may get invested at a lower rate.
Pre-payment Risk: Certain fixed income securities give an issuer the right to call back its securities before their
maturity date, in periods of declining interest rates. The possibility of such prepayment may force the fund to
reinvest the proceeds of such investments in securities offering lower yields, resulting in lower interest income
for the fund.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Draft SID of Motilal Oswal Silver ETF
36 Spread Risk: In a floating rate security the coupon is expressed in terms of a spread or mark up over the
benchmark rate. In the life of the security this spread may move adversely leading to loss in value of the portfolio.
The yield of the underlying benchmark might not change, but the spread of the security over the underlying
benchmark might increase leading to loss in value of the security.
Different types of securities in which the scheme would invest as given in the SID carry different levels and types
of risk. Accordingly, the scheme’s risk may increase or decrease depending upon its investment pattern. E.g.
corporate bonds carry a higher amount of risk than Government securities. Further even among corporate bonds,
bonds, which are AA rated, are comparatively more risky than bonds, which are AAA rated.
6. 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 subject to SEBI Regulations and other prevailing guidelines if any 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.
7. Risk associated with Investment in Units of mutual fund
Investment in Mutual Fund Units involves investment risks such as trading volumes, settlement risk, liquidity risk,
default risk including the possible loss of principal. As the price / value / interest rate of the securities in which the
Scheme(s) invests fluctuates, the value of your investment in the Scheme(s) may go up or down depending on the
various factors and forces affecting the capital markets and money markets.
8. Tracking Error and Tracking Difference Risk
The Fund Manager would not be able to invest the entire corpus exactly in the same proportion as in the benchmark
due to certain factors such as the fees and expenses of the Scheme, corporate actions, cash balance and changes to
the underlying asset and regulatory restrictions, lack of liquidity which may result in Tracking Error. Hence it may
affect AMC’s ability to achieve close correlation with the benchmark of the Scheme. The Scheme’s returns may
therefore deviate from its benchmark. "Tracking Error" is defined as the standard deviation of the difference between
daily returns of the underlying asset and the NAV of the Scheme. The Fund Manager would monitor the Tracking
Error of the Scheme on an ongoing basis. There can be no assurance or guarantee that the Scheme will achieve any
particular level of Tracking Error relative to performance of the underlying Index. Tracking difference refers to
annualized difference of daily returns between the index and the NAV of the ETF / Index fund.
9. 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.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Draft SID of Motilal Oswal Silver ETF
3710. Risk associated with investing in exchange traded commodity derivatives Commodity risks
Volatility in the commodities markets may be caused by changes in overall market movements, domestic and foreign
political and economic events and policies, war, acts of terrorism, changes in domestic or foreign interest rates and/or
investor expectations concerning interest rates, domestic and foreign inflation rates, investment and trading activities
of mutual funds, hedge funds and commodities funds, and factors such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease,
embargoes, tariffs and other regulatory developments, or supply and demand disruptions. Because the Fund’s
performance is linked to the performance of volatile commodities, investors should be willing to assume the risks
of potentially significant fluctuations in the value of the Fund’s shares. Derivative products are leveraged
instruments and can provide disproportionate gains as well as disproportionate losses to the investor. Execution of
investment strategies depends upon the ability of the fund manager(s) to identify such opportunities which may not
be available at all times. Identification and execution of the strategies to be pursued by the fund manager(s) involve
uncertainty and the decision of the fund manager(s) may not always be profitable. No assurance can be given that
the fund manager(s) 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.
11. 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.
12. Risk associated with ETF
1. Passive Investments: As the scheme proposes to invest not less than 95% of the net assets in the securities of the
benchmark Index, the Scheme will not be actively managed. The Scheme 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 individually select stocks
or to take defensive positions in declining markets. The value of the Scheme’s investments, may be affected
generally by factors affecting equity markets, such as price and volume volatility in the capital markets, interest
rates, currency exchange rates, changes in policies of the Government, taxation laws or any other appropriate
authority policies and other political and economic developments which may have an adverse bearing on
individual securities, a specific sector or all sectors. Consequently, the NAV of the Units of the Scheme may
fluctuate and can go up or down.
2. Market risk: ETFs are typically designed to track the performance of certain indices, market sectors, or groups
of assets such as stocks, bonds, or commodities. ETF managers may use different strategies to achieve this goal,
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Draft SID of Motilal Oswal Silver ETF
38but in general they do not have the discretion to take defensive positions in declining markets. Investors must be
prepared to bear the risk of loss and volatility associated with the underlying index/assets.
3. Tracking errors: Tracking errors refer to the disparity in performance between an ETF and its underlying
index/assets. Tracking errors can arise due to factors such as the impact of transaction fees and expenses incurred
to the ETF, changes in composition of the underlying index/assets, and the ETF manager’s replication strategy.
4. Trading at discount or premium: An ETF may be traded at a discount or premium to its Net Asset Value (NAV).
This price discrepancy is caused by supply and demand factors, and may be particularly likely to emerge during
periods of high market volatility and uncertainty.
5. Liquidity risk: Authorized participants (APs) are Exchange Participants that provide liquidity to facilitate trading
in ETFs. Although most ETFs are supported by one or more APs, there is no assurance that active trading will
be maintained.
6. As the units of the Scheme are listed on the Stock Exchange, trading in the units of the Scheme may be halted
due to market conditions or for reasons that in the view of the Exchange Authorities or SEBI. There could also
be trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility and pursuant to NSE/BSE and SEBI circuit filter rules
and the Scheme would not be able to buy/sell securities in case of subscriptions/redemptions, which may impact
the Scheme. Further, there can be no assurance that the requirements of the exchange necessary to maintain the
listing of the Scheme will continue to be met or will remain unchanged.
7. Listing and trading of the units are undertaken on the Stock Exchanges within the rules, regulation and policy of
the Stock Exchange and SEBI. Any change in trading rules, regulation and policy by the regulatory authority
would have a bearing on the trading of the units of the Scheme and its prices.
8. Though the Scheme is listed on the NSE, there is no assurance that an active secondary market will develop or
be maintained. Hence, there would be times when trading in the units of the Scheme would be infrequent.
9. The NAV of the Scheme reflect the valuation of its investment and any changes in market value of its investments
would have a bearing on its NAV. When the units are traded on the Stock Exchange, the units of the Scheme
may trade at prices which can be different from the NAV due to various factors like demand and supply for the
units of the Scheme, perceived trends in the market outlook, etc.
10. In certain cases, settlement periods may be extended significantly by unforeseen circumstances. The inability of
the Scheme to make intended securities purchases due to settlement problems could cause the Scheme to miss
certain investment opportunities as in certain cases, settlement periods may be extended significantly by
unforeseen circumstances. Similarly, the inability to sell securities held in the Scheme portfolio may result, at
times, in potential losses to the Scheme, and there can be a subsequent decline in the value of the securities held
in the Scheme portfolio.
11. Investors can directly approach the AMC for redemption of units of ETFs, for transaction of up to INR 25 Cr.
without any exit load, in case of the following scenarios: i. Traded price (closing price) of the ETF units is at
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Draft SID of Motilal Oswal Silver ETF
39discount of more than 1% to the day end NAV for 7 continuous trading days, or ii. No quotes for such ETFs are
available on stock exchange(s) for 3 consecutive trading days, or iii. Total bid size on the exchange is less than
half of creation units size daily, averaged over a period of 7 consecutive trading days.
12. Tracking error may arise due to various reasons like fees and expenses charged to the Scheme, dividend,
corporate actions, change in the Underlying Index, etc. Tracking error has an impact on the performance of the
Scheme. The Scheme’s returns may therefore deviate from those of its Underlying Basket.
13. 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.
