16C. WHAT ARE THE INVESTMENT STRATEGIES? (Consolidated Std. Obs. 27)(Std. Obs.7)
The Scheme is an actively managed Scheme.
To achieve its investment objective, the scheme mainly intends to invest in equity and equity-related instruments
across large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap companies, as defined by SEBI. The definition of these company
categories is based on Para 2.7 (on Definition of Large Cap, Mid Cap and Small Cap) of the SEBI Master
Circular on Mutual Funds dated June 27, 2024. Most of its portfolio will remain in equities, but up to 35% may
be invested in debt and debt-related securities to balance risk and returns.
The investment approach focuses on:
Choosing quality businesses with strong fundamentals and good management.
Identifying sectors with growth opportunities based on business cycles, reforms, or competitive
strengths.
Picking stocks selectively within those sectors.
The scheme may also invest in debt and money market instruments, units of mutual funds, REITs, and
InvITs and other instruments mentioned in section ‘Where will the Scheme invest?’ for diversification,
within SEBI limits.
Investment in Debt securities and Money Market Instruments will be guided by credit quality, liquidity, interest
rates and their outlook.
Derivatives Strategy (Std. Obs. 5)
The scheme may use derivatives (like futures and options) for hedging and portfolio balancing and other
purposes as permitted by regulations from time to time.
For further details regarding concepts and examples of derivatives that may be used by the fund manager,
please refer to SAI. For exposure limits to derivatives, refer section Asset Allocation Pattern above.
Though every endeavour will be made to achieve the objective of the Scheme, the AMC / Sponsor /
Trustee does not guarantee that the investment objective of the Scheme will be achieved. No guaranteed
returns are being offered under the Scheme.
Risk Control:
Risk is an inherent part of the investment function. Effective risk management is critical to fund management for
achieving financial soundness. Investments by the Scheme shall be made as per the investment objectives of
the Scheme and provisions of SEBI regulations. AMC has incorporated adequate safeguards to manage risk in
the portfolio construction process. Risk control would involve managing risk in order to keep it in line with the
investment objective of the Scheme. The risk control process involves identifying & measuring the risk through
various risk measurement tools like but not limited to tracking error, concentration limits, stress test etc. The
AMC has systems which enables the fund manager to measure and monitor various risk metrices for all the
investments. Investment Committee may from time to time review and define internal norms for the scheme.
Portfolio Turnover Policy:
The Scheme is an open-ended scheme. It is expected that there would be a number of subscriptions and
redemptions on a daily basis. Consequently, it is difficult to estimate with any reasonable measure of accuracy,
the likely turnover in the portfolio.
Portfolio turnover in the scheme(s) will be a function of market opportunities. It is difficult to estimate with any
reasonable measure of accuracy, the likely turnover in the portfolio. The AMC will endeavour to optimize portfolio
turnover to optimize risk adjusted return keeping in mind the cost associated with it. A high portfolio turnover
rate is not necessarily a drag on portfolio performance and may be representative of investment opportunities
that exist in the market.
17D. HOW WILL THE SCHEME BENCHMARK ITS PERFORMANCE(Consolidated Std. Obs.25) (Std.
Obs.9)
Benchmark (Total Returns Index): BSE 500 TRI.
As required under Para 1.9 of SEBI Master Circular on Mutual Funds dated June 27, 2024, the benchmark
has been selected from amongst those notified by AMFI as the first-tier benchmark to be adopted by mutual
funds and which are reflective of the category of the scheme.
The Scheme shall be benchmarked to BSE 500 TRI.
The BSE 500 index is designed to be a broad representation of the Indian market. Consisting of the top
500 companies listed at BSE Ltd., the index covers all major industries in the Indian economy.
The composition of the aforesaid benchmark is such that, it is most suited for comparing performance of
the Scheme.
The Trustee/AMC reserves the right to change the benchmark for the evaluation of the performance of the
Scheme from time to time, keeping in mind the investment objective of the Scheme and the
appropriateness of the benchmark, subject to the Regulations and other prevalent guidelines.

No. of Units outstanding under Scheme on the Valuation Day
Illustration on Computation of NAV: If the net assets of the Scheme are Rs. 10,55,55,000.00 and units
outstanding are 1,00,00,000 then the NAV per unit will be computed as follows: 10,55,55,000.00 /

B. RISK FACTORS
(Std. Obs.2)
For Standard Risk Factors, kindly refer Statement of Additional Information (SAI).
Scheme Specific Risk Factors: (Consolidated Std. Obs. 08)
Some of the specific risk factors related to the Scheme include, but are not limited to the following:
i. Risk associated with schemes investing in equities:
The scheme proposes to invest in equity and equity related instruments. Equity instruments by nature
are volatile and prone to price fluctuations on a daily basis due to both micro and macro factors. The
value of Equity and Equity related instruments may fluctuate due to factors affecting securities market
such as volume and volatility in equity markets, interest rates, currency exchange rates, changes in
law/policies of the Government, taxation laws, political, economic or other developments, general
decline in the Indian Markets which may have an adverse impact on individual securities, a specific
sector or all sectors. Consequently, the NAVs of the Units issued under the Scheme may be adversely
affected.
Investments in equity shares and equity related instruments involve a degree of risk and investors
should not invest in the Scheme unless they can afford to take the risks.
Investors may note that AMC/Fund Manager’s investment decisions may not be always profitable.
Although it is intended to generate capital appreciation and maximize the returns by actively investing
in equity/ equity related securities and utilising debt and money market instruments as a defensive
investment strategy.
While securities that are listed on the stock exchange carry lower liquidity risk, the ability to sell these
investments is limited by the overall trading volume on the stock exchanges. and may lead to the
Scheme incurring losses till the security is finally sold.
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 periods may be extended significantly by unforeseen circumstances
leading to delays in receipt of proceeds from sale of securities. The NAV of the Scheme can go up and
down because of various factors that affect the capital markets in general.
Securities which are not quoted on the stock exchanges, are inherently illiquid in nature and carry a
larger amount of liquidity risk, in comparison to securities that are listed on the exchanges
Further, the volatility of medium / small - capitalization stocks may be higher in comparison to liquid
large capitalization stocks.
ii. Risk Associated with Investing in Fixed Income / Money Market Instruments:
Interest-Rate Risk: Fixed income securities 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, credit quality,
demand and supply. However, in case of Government securities credit risk remains zero, their prices
are influenced by the movement in interest rates in the financial system.
In case of floating rate instruments, an additional risk could arise because of changes in spreads of
floating rate instruments. With increase in spread of floating rate instruments, the price can fall and with
decrease in spread of floating rate instruments, the prices can rise. Moreover, the floating rate
instruments having a periodical interest rate reset carry lower interest rate risk compared to a fixed rate
24debt security. However, in the falling interest rate scenario, the returns on floating rate debt instruments
may not be better than those on fixed rate debt instruments.
Credit Risk: This risk means that the issuer of a debenture/bond or a money market instrument may
default on interest payment or even in paying back the principal amount on maturity. Even where no
default occurs, the price of a security may go down because the credit rating of an issuer/instrument
goes down. Different types of securities in which the scheme(s) would invest as given in the scheme
information document 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
AAA rated are comparatively less risky than bonds which are AA rated.
Re-investment Risk: This refers to the interest rate risk at which the intermediate cash flows received
from the securities in the Scheme including maturity proceeds are reinvested. Investments in fixed
income securities may carry re-investment risk as interest rates prevailing on the interest or maturity
due dates may differ from the original coupon of the debt security. Consequently, the proceeds may get
invested at a lower rate.
Basis Risk: During the life of a floating rate security or a swap, the underlying benchmark index may
become less active and may not capture the actual movement in interest rates or at times the
benchmark may cease to exist. These types of events may result in loss of value in the portfolio.
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.
Liquidity Risk: The liquidity of a bond may change, depending on market conditions leading to changes
in the liquidity premium attached to the price of the bond. At the time of selling the security, the security
can become illiquid, leading to loss in value of the portfolio.
Liquidity Risk on account of unlisted securities: The liquidity and valuation of the Scheme
investments due to their holdings of unlisted securities may be affected if they have to be sold prior to
their target date of divestment. The unlisted security can go down in value before the divestment date
and selling of these securities before the divestment date can lead to losses in the portfolio.
Settlement Risk: Fixed income securities run the risk of settlement which can adversely affect the
ability of the fund house to swiftly execute trading strategies which can lead to adverse movements in
NAV.
Other Risk: In case of downward movement of interest rates, floating rate debt instruments will give a
lower return than fixed rate debt instruments.
Risks associated with investment in unlisted securities:
Except for any security of an associate or group company, the scheme can invest in securities which
are not listed on a stock exchange (“unlisted Securities”) which in general are subject to greater price
fluctuations, less liquidity and greater risk than those which are traded in the open market. Unlisted debt
securities may lack a liquid secondary market and there can be no assurance that the Scheme will
realise their investments in unlisted securities at a fair value.
Investment in unrated instruments may involve a risk of default or decline in market value higher than
rated instruments due to adverse economic and issuer-specific developments. Such investments
display increased price sensitivity to changing interest rates and to a deteriorating economic
environment. The market values for unrated investments tends to be more volatile and such securities
tend to be less liquid than rated debt securities.
iii. Risks associated with Investing in Structured Obligation (SO) & Credit Enhancement (CE) rated
securities
The risks factors stated below for the Structured Obligations & Credit Enhancement are in addition to
the risk factors associated with debt instruments.
25o Credit rating agencies assign CE rating to an instrument based on any identifiable credit
enhancement for the debt instrument issued by an issuer. The credit enhancement could be in
various forms and could include guarantee, shortfall undertaking, letter of comfort, etc. from another
entity. This entity could be either related or non-related to the issuer like a bank, financial institution,
etc. Credit enhancement could include additional security in form of pledge of shares listed on stock
exchanges, etc. SO transactions are asset backed/ mortgage backed securities, securitized paper
backed by hypothecation of car loan receivables, securities backed by trade receivables, credit card
receivables etc. Hence, for CE rated instruments evaluation of the credit enhancement provider, as
well as the issuer is undertaken to determine the issuer rating. In case of SO rated issuer, the
underlying loan pools or securitization, etc. is assessed to arrive at rating for the issuer.
o Liquidity Risk: SO rated securities are often complex structures, with a variety of credit
enhancements. Debt securities lack a well-developed secondary market in India, and due to the
credit enhanced nature of CE securities as well as structured nature of SO securities, the liquidity in
the market for these instruments is adversely affected compared to similar rated debt instruments.
Hence, lower liquidity of such instruments, could lead to inability of the scheme to sell such debt
instruments and generate liquidity for the scheme or higher impact cost when such instruments are
sold.
o Credit Risk: The credit risk of debt instruments which are CE rated is based on the combined
strength of the issuer as well as the structure. Hence, any weakness in either the issuer or the
structure could have an adverse credit impact on the debt instrument. The weakness in structure
could arise due to inability of the investors to enforce the structure due to issues such as legal risk,
inability to sell the underlying collateral or enforce guarantee, etc. In case of SO transactions,
comingling risk and risk of servicer increases the overall risk for the securitized debt or assets backed
transactions. Therefore, apart from issuer level credit risk such debt instruments are also susceptible
to structure related credit risk.
iv. Risk factors with investing in Derivatives: (Consolidated Std. Obs. 28) (Std Obs.5)
Derivative products are leveraged instruments and can provide disproportionate gains as well as
disproportionate losses to the investor. Execution of such strategies depends upon the ability of the
fund manager to identify such opportunities. Identification and execution of the strategies to be pursued
by the fund manager involve uncertainty and decision of fund manager may not always be profitable.
No assurance can be given that the fund manager will be able to identify or execute such strategies.
The risks associated with the use of derivatives are different from or possibly greater than, the risks
associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. As and when the
Scheme trade in the derivatives market there are risk factors and issues concerning the use of
derivatives that investors should understand.
Derivative products are specialized instruments that require investment techniques and risk analyses
different from those associated with stocks and bonds. 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 the possibility that a loss may be sustained by the portfolio as a result of the failure
of another party (usually referred to as the “counter party”) to comply with the terms of the derivatives
contract.
The specific risk factors arising out of a derivative strategy used by the Fund Manager may be
as below:
Lack of opportunity available in the market.
The risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the inability of derivatives to correlate perfectly with
underlying assets, rates and indices.
Other risks in using derivatives include the risk of mispricing or improper valuation of derivatives and
the inability of derivatives to correlate perfectly with underlying assets, rates and indices.
Additional Risk viz. Basis Risk associated with imperfect hedging using Interest Rate Futures
(IRF): The imperfect correlation between the prices of securities in the portfolio and the IRF contract
used to hedge part of the portfolio leads to basis risk. Thus, the loss on the portfolio may not exactly
match the gain from the hedge position entered using the IRF.
26 Risks associated with Covered Call Strategy:
The risk associated with covered calls is the loss of upside, i.e. if the shares are assigned (called away),
the option seller forgoes any share price appreciation above the option strike price.
The Scheme may write covered call option only in case it has adequate number of underlying equity
shares as per regulatory requirement. This would lead to setting aside a portion of investment in
underlying equity shares. If covered call options are sold to the maximum extent allowed by regulatory
authority, the scheme may not be able to sell the underlying equity shares immediately if the view
changes to sell and exit the stock. The covered call options need to be unwound before the stock
positions can be liquidated. This may lead to a loss of opportunity or can cause exit issues if the strike
price at which the call option contracts have been written become illiquid. Hence, the scheme may not
be able to sell the underlying equity shares, which can lead to temporary illiquidity of the underlying
equity shares and result in loss of opportunity.
The writing of covered call option would lead to loss of opportunity due to appreciation in value of the
underlying equity shares. Hence, when the appreciation in equity share price is more than the option
premium received the scheme would be at a loss.
v. Risk factors associated with investing in Non- Convertible Preference Shares
o Credit Risk - Credit risk is the risk that an issuer will be unable to meet its obligation of payment of
Dividend and/ or redemption of principal amount on the due date. Further, for non-cumulative
preference shares, issuer also has an option to not pay Dividends on preference shares in case of
inadequate profits in any year.
o Liquidity Risk - The preference shares generally have limited secondary market liquidity and thus
we may be forced to hold the instrument till maturity.
o Unsecured in nature - Preference shares are unsecured in nature and rank lower than secured
and unsecured debt in hierarchy of payments in case of liquidation. Thus, there is significant risk of
capital erosion in case the company goes into liquidation.
vi. Risk factors associated with investing in Securitised Debt
The Risks involved in Securitised Papers described below are the principal ones and does not represent
that the statement of risks set out hereunder is exhaustive.
o Limited Liquidity & Price Risk
There is no assurance that a deep secondary market will develop for the Certificates. This could limit
the ability of the investor to resell them.
o Limited Recourse, Delinquency and Credit Risk
The Credit Enhancement stipulated represents a limited loss cover to the Investors. These
Certificates represent an undivided beneficial interest in the underlying receivables and do not
represent an obligation of either the Issuer or the Seller or the originator, or the parent or any affiliate
of the Seller, Issuer and Originator. No financial recourse is available to the Certificate Holders
against the Investors' Representative. Delinquencies and credit losses may cause depletion of the
amount available under the Credit Enhancement and thereby the Investor Payouts to the Certificate
Holders may get affected if the amount available in the Credit Enhancement facility is not enough to
cover the shortfall. On persistent default of an Obligor to repay his obligation, the Servicer may
repossess and sell the Asset. However, many factors may affect, delay or prevent the repossession
of such Asset or the length of time required to realise the sale proceeds on such sales. In addition,
the price at which such Asset may be sold may be lower than the amount due from that Obligor.
o Risks due to possible prepayments and Charge Offs
In the event of prepayments, investors may be exposed to changes in tenor and yield. Also, any
Charge Offs would result in the reduction in the tenor of the Pass Through Certificates (PTCs).
o Bankruptcy of Bank with Liquidity facility.
If the Bank with Liquidity facility, becomes subject to bankruptcy proceedings then an investor
could experience losses or delays in the payments.
o Risk of Co-mingling
27With respect to the Certificates, the Servicer will deposit all payments received from the Obligors into
the Collection Account. However, there could be a time gap between collection by a Servicer and
depositing the same into the Collection account especially considering that some of the collections
may be in the form of cash. In this interim period, collections from the Loan Agreements may not be
segregated from other funds of originator. If originator in its capacity as Servicer fails to remit such
funds due to Investors, the Investors may be exposed to a potential loss.
vii. Risk factors associated with investments in Perpetual Debt Instrument (PDI)
Perpetual Debt instruments are issued by Banks, NBFCs and corporates to improve their capital
profile. AT1 and AT2 bonds are types of regulatory capital instruments to strengthen their capital
base as per Basel III norms. While there are no regulatory guidelines for issuance of PDIs by
corporate bodies, NBFCs issue these bonds as per guidelines issued by RBI. The instruments are
treated as perpetual in nature as there is no fixed maturity date. The key risks associated with these
instruments are highlighted below:
Key Risk Factors:
o Risk on coupon servicing
Banks
As per the terms of the instruments, Banks may have discretion at all times to cancel distributions/
payment of coupons. In the event of non-availability of adequate distributable reserves and surpluses
or inadequacy in terms of capital requirements, RBI may not allow banks to make payment of
coupons.
NBFCs
While NBFCs may have discretion at all times to cancel payment of coupon, coupon can also be
deferred (instead of being cancelled), in case paying the coupon leads to breach of capital ratios.
Corporates
Corporates usually have discretion to defer the payment of coupon. However, the coupon is usually
cumulative and any deferred coupon shall accrue interest at the original coupon rate of the PDI.
o Risk of write-down or conversion into equity
Banks
As per the regulatory requirements, Banks have to maintain a minimum Common Equity Tier-1 (CET-
1) ratio of Risk Weighted Assets (RWAs), failing which the AT-1 bonds can get written down. Further,
AT-1 Bonds are liable to be written down or converted to common equity, at the discretion of RBI, in
the event of Point of Non Viability Trigger (PONV). PONV is a point, determined by RBI, when a
bank is deemed to have become non-viable unless there is a write off/ conversion to equity of AT-1
Bonds or a public sector capital injection happens. The write off/conversion has to occur prior to
public sector injection of capital. This risk is not applicable in case of NBFCs and Corporates.
o Risk of instrument not being called by the Issuer
Banks
The issuing banks have an option to call back the instrument after minimum specified period from
the date of issuance, subject to meeting the RBI guidelines. However, if the bank does not exercise
the call on first call date, the Scheme may have to hold the instruments for a period beyond the first
call exercise date.
NBFCs
The NBFC issuer has an option to call back the instrument after minimum specific period as per the
regulatory requirement from date of issuance and thereafter, subject to meeting the RBI guidelines.
However, if the NBFC does not exercise the call option the Scheme may have to hold the instruments
for a period beyond the first call exercise date.
Corporates
There is no minimum period for call date. However, if the corporate does not exercise the call
option, the Scheme may have to hold the instruments for a period beyond the call exercise date.
28viii. Risk factors associated with Short Selling
Short-selling is the sale of shares which are not owned by the seller at the time of trade. Instead, he
borrows it from someone who already owns it. Later, the short seller buys back the stock he shorted
and returns the stock to close out the loan. If the price of the stock corrects, Short seller can buy the
stock back for less than he received for selling it and earn profit (the difference between higher short
sale price and the lower purchase price).If the price of stock appreciates, short selling results in loss.
Thus, Short positions carry the risk of losing money and these losses may grow theoretically unlimited
if the price increases without limit and shall result into major losses in the portfolio.
ix. Risk associated with investing in foreign securities
Subject to necessary approvals and within the investment objectives of the Scheme, the Scheme may
invest in overseas markets which carry risks related to fluctuations in the foreign exchange rates, the
nature of the securities market of the country, repatriation of capital due to exchange controls and
political circumstances.
Since the Scheme would invest only partially in foreign securities, there may not be readily available
and widely accepted benchmarks to measure performance of such Scheme. To manage risks
associated with foreign currency and interest rate exposure, the Fund may use derivatives for efficient
portfolio management and hedging and portfolio rebalancing and in accordance with conditions as may
be stipulated under the Regulations and by RBI from time to time.
Investment in Foreign Securities involves a currency risk. To the extent that the assets of the Scheme
will be invested in securities denominated in foreign currencies, the Indian Rupee equivalent of the net
assets, distributions and income may be adversely affected by changes in the value of certain foreign
currencies relative to the Indian Rupee. The repatriation of capital to India may also be hampered by
changes in regulations concerning exchange controls or political circumstances as well as the
application to it of other restrictions on investment.
Keeping in mind the investment limit in foreign securities currently applicable to Mutual Fund, In terms
of Para 12.19 of SEBI Master Circular on Mutual Funds dated June 27, 2024 if overall limit for the
Mutual Fund in overseas securities reaches USD 1 billion or the overall limit for Mutual Fund Industry
in overseas securities reaches USD 7 billion, then Mutual Fund will not be able to invest in overseas
securities / will not be able to do incremental overseas investment, unless such limit is increased or
further directions is received from SEBI or RBI in this regard. It may be noted that the cap of USD 1
billion will be monitored and enforced at the Mutual Fund level and not at the individual scheme level.
x. Risk Factors Associated with Securities Lending(Std. Obs. 6)
As with other modes of extensions of credit, there are risks inherent to securities lending. During the
period the security is lent, the Scheme may not be able to sell such security and in turn cannot protect
from the falling market price of the said security Under the current securities lending and borrowing
mechanism, the Scheme can call back the securities lent any time before the maturity date of securities
lending contract. However, this will be again the function of liquidity in the market and if there are no
lenders in the specified security, the Scheme may not be able to call back the security and in the
process, the Scheme will be exposed to price volatility. Moreover, the fees paid for calling back the
security may be more than the lending fees earned by Scheme at the time of lending the said security
and this could result in loss to the Scheme. Also, during the period the security is lent, the Fund will not
be able to exercise the voting rights attached to the security as the security will not be registered in the
name of the Scheme in the records of the Depository/issuer.
xi. Risk associated with Investments in REITs and InvITs
Price-Risk or Interest-Rate Risk: REITs & InvITs run price-risk or interest-rate risk. Generally, when
interest rates rise, prices of existing 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.
29 Credit Risk: In simple terms this risk means that the issuer of a debenture/ bond or a money market
instrument may default on interest payment or even in paying back the principal amount on maturity.
REITs & InvITs are likely to have volatile cash flows as the repayment dates would not necessarily be
pre-scheduled.
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. As these products are new to the market they are likely to
be exposed to liquidity risk.
Reinvestment Risk: Investments in REITs & InvITs 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.
Risk of lower than expected distributions: The distributions by the REIT or InvIT 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 dividends or the interest and
principal payments from portfolio assets.
The above are some of the common risks associated with investments in REITs & InvITs. There can
be no assurance that investment objectives will be achieved, or that there will be no loss of capital.
Investment results may vary substantially on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis.
xii. Risks associated with segregated portfolio
Liquidity risk – A segregated portfolio is created when a credit event / default occurs at an issuer level
in the scheme. This may reduce the liquidity of the security issued by the said issuer, as demand for
this security may reduce. This is also further accentuated by the lack of secondary market liquidity for
corporate papers in India. As per SEBI norms, the scheme is to be closed for redemption and
subscriptions until the segregated portfolio is created, running the risk of investors being unable to
redeem their investments. However, it may be noted that, the proposed segregated portfolio is required
to be formed within one day from the occurrence of the credit event.
Investors may note that no redemption and subscription shall be allowed in the segregated portfolio.
However, in order to facilitate exit to unit holders in segregated portfolio, AMC shall list the units of the
segregated portfolio on a recognized stock exchange within 10 Business days of creation of segregated
portfolio and also enable transfer of such units on receipt of transfer requests. For the units listed on
the exchange, it is possible that the market price at which the units are traded may be at a discount to
the NAV of such Units. There is no assurance that an active secondary market will develop for units of
segregated portfolio listed on the stock exchange. This could limit the ability of the investors to resell
them. There may be possibility that the security comprising the segregated portfolio may not realize any
value.
Valuation risk ‐ The valuation of the securities in the segregated portfolio is required to be carried out in
line with the applicable SEBI guidelines. However, it may be difficult to ascertain the fair value of the
securities due to absence of an active secondary market and difficulty to price in qualitative factors.
xiii. Risks associated with investing in Tri‐party Repo (TREPS) through CCIL
The Mutual Fund is a member of securities segment and Tri‐party Repo trade settlement of the Clearing
Corporation of India Limited (CCIL). All transactions of the Mutual Fund in government securities and
in Tri‐ party Repo trades are settled centrally through the infrastructure and settlement systems provided
by CCIL; thus reducing the settlement and counterparty risks considerably for transactions in the said
segments. The members are required to contribute an amount as communicated by CCIL from time to
time to the default fund maintained by CCIL as a part of the default waterfall (a loss mitigating measure
of CCIL in case of default by any member in settling transactions routed through CCIL). CCIL shall
maintain two separate Default Funds in respect of its Securities Segment, one with a view to meet
losses arising out of any default by its members from outright and repo trades and the other for meeting
losses arising out of any default by its members from Triparty Repo trades. The Mutual Fund is exposed
to the extent of its contribution to the default fund of CCIL at any given point in time i.e. in the event that
30the 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. Further, it may be noted that CCIL periodically prescribes a list of
securities eligible for contributions as collateral by members. Presently, all Central Government
securities and Treasury bills are accepted as collateral by CCIL. The risk factors may undergo change
in case the CCIL notifies securities other than Government of India securities as eligible for contribution
as collateral.
xiv. Performance Risk
Performance risk refers to the risk of a scheme being unable to generate returns matching / above the
returns of the scheme’s benchmark. It would also mean the scheme underperforming against its peer
set of other mutual fund schemes having similar portfolios, scheme classification, objective, benchmark
and asset allocation. These risks could arise due to a variety of market and economic activities,
government policies, global economic changes, currency fluctuations, tax policies, political changes,
corporate actions and investors’ behaviour.
xv. Risks associated with ‘Restriction on Redemption in Mutual Funds’
Subject to the approval of Board of Directors of the AMC and Trustee Company and immediate
intimation to SEBI, a restriction on redemptions may be imposed by the Scheme under certain
exceptional circumstances, which the AMC / Trustee believe that may lead to a systemic crisis or event
that constrict liquidity of most securities or the efficient functioning of markets. Please refer to the
paragraph “Restrictions, if any, on the right to freely retain or dispose of Units being offered” for further
details including the procedure to be followed while imposing restriction on redemptions.
xvi. Risks Factors associated with transaction in Units through stock exchange(s)
In respect of transaction in units of the Scheme through stock exchange platform(s), allotment and
redemption of Units on any Business Day will depend upon the order processing / settlement by the
stock exchange(s) and their respective clearing corporations on which the Fund has no control.
xvii. Risks associated with investments in mutual fund units:
To the extent of the investments made by the scheme in mutual funds units, the risks associated with
investing in such funds like market risk, credit & default risk, liquidity risk, redemption risk including the
possible loss of principal; etc. will exist.
xviii. Risk factors associated with Repo in Corporate Debt:
Credit Risk: Collateral may lose value due to issuer downgrade or default.
Counterparty Risk: Failure to repurchase by counterparty can lead to financial loss.
Liquidity Risk: Corporate debt may be hard to sell or re-pledge during stress.
Valuation Risk: Price volatility and thin trading can affect collateral adequacy.
Legal Risk: Inadequate documentation may cause disputes over ownership or recovery.
Operational Risk: Errors in margining, settlement, or collateral handling.
Interest Rate Risk: Rate changes impact bond values and repo margins.
Regulatory Risk: Subject to evolving SEBI/RBI norms and compliance requirements.
Concentration Risk: Excessive exposure to single issuers or sectors increases systemic risk.
xix. Risk factors associated with Credit Default Swaps
Counterparty Risk: Protection seller may default during a credit event.
Credit Event Risk: Disputes over what qualifies as a default.
Liquidity Risk: CDS contracts may be hard to exit or price.
Basis Risk: Mismatch between CDS and actual exposure.
Valuation Risk: Complex pricing may not reflect true credit risk.
Legal Risk: Contractual ambiguities can delay settlement.
Systemic Risk: CDS defaults can amplify market stress.
Regulatory Risk: Subject to evolving compliance norms.
xx. General Risk factors
31• 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 periods may be extended significantly by unforeseen circumstances leading to delays in receipt
of proceeds from sale of securities. The NAV of the Units of the Scheme can go up or down because of
various factors that affect the capital markets in general.
• As the liquidity of the investments made by the Scheme could, at times, be restricted by trading volumes
and settlement periods, the time taken by the Mutual Fund for redemption of Units may be significant in the
event of an inordinately large number of redemption requests or restructuring of the Scheme. In view of the
above, the Trustee has the right, in its sole discretion, to limit redemptions (including suspending
redemptions) under certain circumstances, as described under section Right to Restrict Redemption and /
or Suspend Redemption of the units.
• At times, due to the forces and factors affecting the capital market, the Scheme may not be able to invest
in securities falling within its investment objective resulting in holding the monies collected by it in cash or
cash equivalent or invest the same in other permissible securities / investments amounting to substantial
reduction in the earning capability of the Scheme. The Scheme may retain certain investments in cash or
cash equivalents for its day-to-day liquidity requirements.
• Investment strategy to be adopted by the Scheme may carry the risk of significant variance between the
portfolio allocation of the Scheme and the Benchmark particularly over a short to medium term period.
• Performance of the Scheme may be affected by political, social, and economic developments, which may
include changes in government policies, diplomatic conditions, and taxation policies.
• The Scheme at times may receive large number of redemption requests, leading to an asset-liability
mismatch and therefore, requiring the investment manager to make a distress sale of the securities leading
to realignment of the portfolio and consequently resulting in investment in lower yield instruments.
C. RISK CONTROL/ RISK MITIGATION STRATEGY (Consolidated Std. Obs. 09)
Risk is an important part of the investment functions. Effective Risk Management is critical to Fund Management
for achieving financial goals. Investments made by the Scheme shall be made in accordance with Investment
Objective of the Scheme and provisions of SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996.
The Fund has identified following Risk and designed Risk Management Strategies, which is the part of the
Investment Process to manage such risks.
Risk Associated with Equity & Equity Related Instruments
Type of Risk Risk Mitigation Measures
Volatility Risk Monitor sector / company exposure at portfolio level.
Concentration Diversify across stocks / sectors, concentration risk can be reduced.
Risk The fund manager will endeavour to build well diversified portfolio within the overall fund
specific investment strategy which will help in controlling concentration risk.
Liquidity Risk The fund manager will control the liquidity at portfolio construction level.
Derivatives The fund has provision for using derivative instruments for portfolio balancing and hedging
Risk purposes. Investments in derivative instruments will be used as per regulatory guidelines.
The fund will endeavour to maintain adequate controls to monitor the derivatives
transactions entered into.
Risk Associated with Debt & Money Market Instruments
Type of Risk Risk Mitigation Measures
Interest Rate In a rising interest rates scenario, the Fund Manager will endeavour to increase investment
Risk in money market securities whereas if the interest rates are expected to fall, the allocation
to debt securities with longer maturity will be increased thereby mitigating risk to that
extent.
Liquidity Risk The liquidity and volatility of a security is an important criterion in security selection
process. This ensures that liquidity risk is managed.
Credit and The Scheme shall invest a major portion of its debt investments in Government Securities
Default Risk thus lowering the overall credit risk in the portfolio. To reduce the credit risk, a
comprehensive and in-depth credit evaluation of each issuer will be undertaken, using both
quantitative (leverage, profitability, solvency ratios etc.) and qualitative factors (parentage,
track record etc.).
32Reinvestment The Fund Manager shall manage reinvestment risk by investing in securities with relatively
Risk low intermittent cash flows.
Risk Associated with Units issued by ReITs & InvITs
Type of Risk Risk Mitigation Measures
Market Risk and This risk will be managed by capping allocation, actively monitoring the duration of
Interest Rate Risk: ReIT and InvITs holdings, and reducing exposure in a rising interest rate
environment.
Liquidity Risk: Liquidity concerns will be addressed by investing only in large and liquid ReITs and
InvITs, entering and exiting positions in a staggered manner, and maintaining
sufficient liquidity buffers.
Concentration Risk: Concentration risk will be reduced by diversifying investments across multiple
available ReITs and InvITs, sectors and geographies.
Fundamental Risk: These risks will be mitigated by conducting thorough due diligence of the issuers
and by continuously monitoring quarterly performance, announcements, and
regulatory changes.
Risk Associated with investments in Non-Convertible Preference Shares
Type of Risk Risk Mitigation Measures
Credit Risk This risk will be managed by a comprehensive and in-depth credit evaluation of each issuer
will be undertaken, using both quantitative (leverage, profitability, solvency ratios etc.) and
qualitative factors (parentage, track record etc.).
Liquidity Risk: The Fund endeavours to invest in preference shares of those companies which have
relatively better market acceptability amongst market participants that increases the
probability of secondary sale in case an exit from the investment is required.
Unsecured in The Fund endeavours to mitigate this risk by exercising due diligence while assessing the
nature: business, financial and management risks of the company before investing.
Risk Associated with investment in Perpetual Debt Instruments (PDI)
Type of Risk Risk Mitigation Measures
Risk on coupon servicing This risk will be managed by an in-depth credit evaluation of each bank is
and Risk of write-down or undertaken, keeping in mind both quantitative (leverage, profitability, solvency
conversion into equity ratios, capital adequacy, etc.) and qualitative factors (parentage, track record
etc.).
Risk on coupon servicing: This risk will be managed by an in-depth credit evaluation of each NBFC or
Corporate is undertaken, keeping in mind both quantitative (leverage,
profitability, solvency ratios, capital adequacy, etc.) and qualitative factors
(parentage, track record etc.).

• Investment in Securitised Debt
A securitisation transaction involves sale of receivables by the originator (a bank, non- banking finance
company, housing finance company, or a manufacturing/service company) to a Special Purpose
Vehicle (SPV), typically set up in the form of a trust. Investors are issued rated Pass Through
Certificates (PTCs), the proceeds of which are paid as consideration to the originator. In this manner,
the originator, by selling his loan receivables to an SPV, receives consideration from investors much
before the maturity of the underlying loans. Investors are paid from the collections of the underlying
loans from borrowers. Typically, the transaction is provided with a limited amount of credit enhancement
(as stipulated by the rating agency for a target rating), which provides protection to investors against
defaults by the underlying borrowers. Generally available asset classes for securitisation in India are:
Commercial vehicles
Auto and two wheeler pools
Mortgage pools (residential housing loans)
Personal loan, credit card and other retail loans
Corporate loans/receivables
Investment / Risk Mitigation Strategy
1. Risk profile of securitised debt vis-à-vis risk appetite of the Scheme
The risk profile of securitised debt is generally at par with the risk profile of other debt securities at
the same level of credit rating. Securitised debt offers additional income (spread) over a debt
security of similar rating and maturity, which enables the scheme to optimize its income without
taking any additional credit risk. Securitised debt is generally less liquid, however, investment in
securitised debt is made to maintain a diversified portfolio of debt securities that optimizes return
without increasing the overall risk profile of the Scheme.
2. Policy relating to originators based on nature of originator, track record, NPAs, losses in
earlier securitised debt, etc
The originator is an entity (like banks, non-banking finance companies, corporates etc), which has
initially provided the loan & is also generally responsible for servicing the loans. The schemes will
invest in securitised debt of originators with at least investment grade credit rating and established
track record. A detailed evaluation of originator is done before the investment is made in securitised
debt of any originator on various parameters given below:
Track record
The investment in securitised debt is done based on origination and underwriting process and
capabilities of the originator, overview of corporate structure, group to which they belong,
experience of the company in the business & how long they have been in the business, financial
condition of the company, credit rating, past performance of similar pools by the originator, etc.
36 Willingness to pay through credit enhancement facilities etc.
Credit enhancement is provided by the originator, as indicated by rating agencies, so as to
adequately cover the defaults and acts as a risk mitigation measure. The size of the credit
enhancement as indicated by rating agency depends on the originator's track record, past
delinquencies, pattern of the portfolio & characteristics of the pool vis-a-vis of the portfolio,
nature of the asset class.
Ability to pay
The quality of the origination impacts the performance of the underlying asset & thus originators
with strong systems and processes in place can eliminate poor quality assets. A robust risk
management system of the originator and availability of MIS reports on timely basis, results in
creation of strong asset portfolio.
Business Risk Assessment
The business risk assessment of originator / underlying borrower also includes detailed credit
assessment wherein following factors are also considered:
- Outlook for the economy (domestic and global)
- Outlook for the industry
- Company specific factors
In addition, a detailed review and assessment of rating rationale is done along with interactions
with the company as well as the rating agency. All investment in securitised debt is done after
taking into account, the Critical Evaluation Parameters (for pool loan and single loan
securitisation transactions) regarding the originator / underlying issuer as mentioned below:
o Default track record/ frequent alteration of redemption conditions / covenants
o High leverage ratios of the ultimate borrower (for single-sell downs) - both on a standalone
basis as well on a consolidated level/ group level
o Higher proportion of reschedulement of underlying assets of the pool or loan, as the case
may be
o Higher proportion of overdue assets of the pool or the underlying loan, as the case may be
o Poor reputation in market
o Insufficient track record of servicing of the pool or the loan, as the case may be.
3. Risk mitigation strategies for investments with each kind of originator
Investments are based on assessment of following parameters, so as to mitigate risk associated
with such investment:
a. Credit quality, size and reach of the originator
b. Nature of receivables/asset category i.e. cars, construction equipment, commercial vehicles,
personal loans etc.
c. Collection process, infrastructure and follow-up mechanism
d. Quality of MIS
e. Credit cum liquidity enhancement
f. Credit appraisal norms of originator
g. Asset Quality - portfolio delinquency levels
h. Past performance of rated pools
i. Pool Characteristics - seasoning, Loan-to-value ratios, geographic diversity etc.
4. The level of diversification with respect to the underlying assets, and risk mitigation
measures for less diversified investments
Diversification of underlying assets is achieved through a) prudent mix of asset categories - i.e. cars
(new, used), commercial vehicles, construction equipment, unsecured loans to individuals or small
& medium enterprises b) total number of contracts in a pool c) average ticket size of loans and d)
geographical distribution.
Risk mitigation measures for less diversified investments in pools is accomplished through the size
of credit enhancement, seasoning or loan to value ratios.

change in related factors.
Notes:
A. In case of securitised debt with underlying being single loan, the investment limit applicable to
the underlying borrower is considered.
B. Other investment will be decided on a case to case basis.
In case of asset backed pools (ABS), evaluation of the pool assets is done considering the
following factors: (Refer the table above which illustrates the averages of parameters
considered while selecting the pool)
• Size of the loan
• Average original maturity of the pool
• Loan to Value Ratio
• Average seasoning of the pool
• Default rate distribution
• Geographical Distribution
• Credit enhancement facility
• Liquid facility
• Structure of the pool
5. Minimum retention period of the debt by originator prior to securitisation
38The illustrative average seasoning of the debt by originator prior to securitisation is given above in
table (Refer Point 4).
Minimum retention period of the debt by originator prior to securitisation in the case of asset pools
is in the form of seasoning of loans to various asset classes (cars, commercial vehicles, etc.) and
generally varies from one month to six months depending on the nature of asset.
6. Minimum retention percentage by originator of debts to be securitised
While minimum retention percentage by originator is not prescribed, any amount retained by the
originator through subordination is viewed positively at the time of making investment and generally
varies from 5% to 10%.
7. The mechanism to tackle conflict of interest when the mutual fund invests in securitised debt
of an originator and the originator in turn makes investments in that particular scheme of
the fund
All proposals for investment in securitised debt are evaluated by the credit analyst based on several
parameters such as nature of underlying asset category, pool characteristics, asset quality, credit
rating of the securitisation transaction, and credit cum liquidity enhancement available. Investment
in securitised debt in any scheme is made by the respective fund manager in line with the investment
objective of that scheme.
8. The resources and mechanism of individual risk assessment with the AMC for monitoring
investment in securitised debt (in general)
Investment in securitised debt is monitored regularly with regards to its performance on various
parameters such as collection efficiency, delinquencies, prepayments and utilization of credit
enhancement. Information on these parameters is available through monthly reports from Pool
Trustees and through information disseminated by the rating agencies. Monthly performance report
is released by the credit analyst to the fund management team and the fund management team
periodically reviews the same.
Trading in Derivatives
• The Scheme may take derivatives position based on the opportunities available subject to the
guidelines provided by SEBI from time to time and in line with the overall investment objective of the
Scheme.
• The Scheme intends to use derivatives mainly for the purpose of hedging and portfolio balancing.
Losses may arise as a result of using derivatives, but these are likely to be compensated by the
gains on the underlying cash instruments held by the Scheme.
• The Scheme may take position in derivative instruments like Futures, Options, and such other
derivative instruments as may be permitted by SEBI from time to time.

Exposure limits on Interest Rate Futures (IRF)
41The exposure limits for trading in Interest Rate Futures (IRFs) by Mutual Funds specified by clause
12.25.9 of Master Circular are as follows:
i. To reduce interest rate risk in a debt portfolio, mutual funds may hedge the portfolio or part of
the portfolio (including one or more securities) on weighted average modified duration basis by
using Interest Rate Futures (IRFs). The maximum extent of short position that may be taken in
IRFs to hedge interest rate risk of the portfolio or part of the portfolio, is as per the formula given
below:
(Portfolio Modified Duration * Market Value of the Portfolio)
________________________________________________________
(Futures Modified Duration *Futures Price/PAR)
ii. In case the IRF used for hedging the interest rate risk has different underlying security(s) than
the existing position being hedged, it would result in imperfect hedging.
iii. Imperfect hedging using IRFs may be considered to be exempted from the gross exposure,
upto maximum of 20% of the net assets of the scheme, subject to the following:
a) Exposure to IRFs is created only for hedging the interest rate risk based on the weighted
average modified duration of the bond portfolio or part of the portfolio.
b) Mutual Funds are permitted to resort to imperfect hedging, without it being considered under
the gross exposure limits, if and only if, the correlation between the portfolio or part of the
portfolio (excluding the hedged portions, if any) and the IRF is atleast 0.9 at the time of
initiation of hedge. In case of any subsequent deviation from the correlation criteria, the
same may be rebalanced within 5 working days and if not rebalanced within the timeline,
the derivative positions created for hedging shall be considered under the gross exposure
computed in terms of clause 12.25 of Master Circular. The correlation should be calculated
for a period of last 90 days.
Explanation: If the fund manager intends to do imperfect hedging upto 15% of the portfolio
using IRFs on weighted average modified duration basis, either of the following conditions
need to be complied with:
i. The correlation for past 90 days between the portfolio and the IRF is at least 0.9 or
ii. The correlation for past 90 days between the part of the portfolio (excluding the hedged
portions, if any) i.e. at least 15% of the net asset of the scheme (including one or more
securities) and the IRF is at least 0.9.

time. Instruments that comprise a major portion of money market activity include,
• Overnight Call
• Repo/Reverse Repo Agreements
• Tri-party Repos on Government securities or treasury bills (TREPS)

• Government Securities with a residual maturity of < 1 year
• Commercial Paper

The following table gives approximate yields prevailing during the month ended March 31, 2025 on
some of the instruments. These yields are indicative and do not indicate yields that may be obtained
in future as interest rates keep changing consequent to changes in macro economic conditions and
RBI policy.
Instrument Yield Range (%
per annum)
Inter bank Call Money 5.75 -6.40
91 Day Treasury Bill 6.34 -6.56
364 Day Treasury Bill 6.44 -6.56

These yields are indicative and do not indicate yields that may be obtained in future as interest rates
keep changing consequent to changes in macro economic conditions and RBI policy. The price and
yield on various debt instruments fluctuate from time to time depending upon the macro economic
situation, inflation rate, overall liquidity position, foreign exchange scenario etc. Also, the price and yield
vary according to maturity profile, credit risk etc.
Generally, for instruments issued by a non-Government entity (corporate / PSU bonds), the yield is
higher than the yield on a Government Security with corresponding maturity. The difference, known as
credit spread, depends on the credit rating of the entity.
• Overseas Debt Market
The nature and number of debt instruments available in international debt markets is very wide. In terms
of diverse instruments as well as liquidity, overseas debt markets offer great depth and are extremely
well developed.
Investment in international debt greatly expands the universe of top quality debt, which is no longer
restricted to the limited papers available in the domestic debt market. The higher rated overseas
sovereign, quasigovernment and corporate debt offer lower default risk in addition to offering a high
degree of liquidity since these are traded across major international markets. Investments in rated
international debt offer multiple benefits of risk reduction, a much wider universe of top quality debt and
also potential gains from currency movements.
Investments in international markets are most often in U.S. dollars, though the Euro, Pound Sterling
and the Yen are also major currencies. Though this market is geographically well spread across global
financial centres, the markets in the U.S., European Union and London offer the most liquidity and depth
of instruments.
Besides factors specific to the country / issuer, international bond prices are influenced to a large extent
by a number of other factors; chief among these are the international economic outlook, changes in
interest rates in major economies, trading volumes in overseas markets, cross currency movements
among major currencies, rating changes of countries / corporations and major political changes globally.

Transfer Plans (STP), as may be offered by the AMC, the units would be allotted as

Since different payment modes have different settlement cycles including electronic
transactions (as per arrangements with Payment Aggregators/Banks/Exchanges etc),
it may happen that the investor’s account is debited, but the money is not credited
within cut-off time on the same date to the Scheme’s bank account, leading to a
gap/delay in Unit allotment. Investors are therefore urged to use the most efficient
electronic payment modes to avoid delays in realization of funds and consequently in
Unit allotment.
