2HIGHLIGHTS/SUMMARY OF THE SCHEME
Sr. No. Title Description
I. Benchmark (TRI) Benchmark: Domestic Price of physical Gold
Rationale for adoption of benchmark:
The benchmark of the scheme would be linked to the domestic prices of
gold as derived from LBMA daily spot fixing prices. The benchmark index
is designed to reflect the behavior and performance of the asset class as
per asset allocation of the scheme. The performance of the scheme will be
benchmarked against the Domestic Price of Physical Gold.
The Trustee 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 compliance with Regulations/ circulars issued
by SEBI and AMFI in this regard from time to time.
The benchmark of the scheme is in line with the list of benchmark
prescribed by AMFI.
II. Plans and Options The Scheme offers Regular Plan and Direct Plan.
Plans/Options and sub 1. Regular Plan: This Plan is for investors who wish to route their
options under the investment through any distributor.

2. Direct Plan: This Plan is for investors who invest directly without
routing the investments through any distributor. Direct Plan has a lower
expense ratio excluding distribution expenses, commission, etc. and no
commission for distribution of Units will be paid/charged under the
Direct Plan.
Both the Plans will have a common portfolio and separate NAVs.

*****************************************************************
10COMPUTATION OF NAV (this will be put in weblink. Part of point IX above)
The Net Asset Value (NAV) of the Units will be determined daily or as prescribed by the Regulations. The NAV shall be
calculated in accordance with the following formula, or such other formula as may be prescribed by SEBI from time to time.
NAV = Market/Fair value of Scheme’s Investments + Current Assets – Current Liabilities and Provisions
No. of units outstanding under Scheme/Plan
Con. Std. Obs. 42
Illustration: Assumptions - on the day of calculation of NAV:
Market or Fair Value of the Scheme’s Investments = 10600
Current Assets = 250
Current Liabilities & provisions = 150
No of units outstanding in the plan = 1000 NAV
= (10600+250-150)/1000 = 10.70
Methodology of calculating the sale price:
The price or NAV an investor is charged while investing in an open-ended scheme is called sale / subscription price.
Pursuant to clause 10.4.1.a of the SEBI Master circular for Mutual Funds dated June 27, 2024, no entry load will be
charged by the Scheme to the investors.
Therefore, Sale / Subscription price = Applicable NAV
Methodology of calculating the repurchase price
Repurchase or redemption price is the price or NAV at which an open-ended scheme purchases or redeems its units
from the investors. It may include exit load, if applicable. The exit load, if any, shall be charged as a percentage of Net
Assets Value (NAV) i.e. applicable load as a percentage of NAV will be deducted from the “Applicable NAV” to calculate
the repurchase price.
Therefore, Repurchase / Redemption Price = Applicable NAV *(1 – Exit Load, if any) For example, If the Applicable NAV
of the Scheme is Rs. 10 and the Exit Load applicable at the time of investment is 1% if redeemed before completion of 1
year from the date of allotment of units and the investor redeems units before completion of 1 year, then the
repurchase/redemption price will be: = Rs. 10*(1-0.01) = Rs. 9.90
Rounding off policy for NAV:
Net Asset Value of the Units in the Scheme is calculated in the manner provided in this Scheme Information Document
or as may be prescribed by Regulations from time to time. The NAV will be computed up to two decimal places.
Con. Std. Obs. 47
The Fund will ensure that the Redemption Price is not lower than 97% of the NAV.
The valuation of investments shall be based on the principles of fair valuation specified in the Schedule VIII of the SEBI
(Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996 and guidelines issued by SEBI /AMFI from time to time. The broad valuation norms are
detailed in the Statement of Additional Information.

Risk Factors A. Scheme Specific Risk Factors:
The Scheme is subject to the specific risks that may adversely affect the Scheme’s NAV,
Con. Std. Obs. 8
return and / or ability to meet its investment objective. The specific risk factors related to the
19Scheme include, but are not limited to the following:
The Scheme shall invest in the units The Wealth Company Gold ETF. The risk factors of The
Wealth Company Gold ETF will be relevant and must be treated as risk factors of The Wealth
Company Gold ETF FOF. The investors should refer to the Scheme Information Documents
and the related addendum for the scheme specific risk factors and special consideration of the
respective Underlying Schemes
The Scheme will predominantly invest in units of The Wealth Company Gold ETF. Hence the
Scheme’s performance may depend upon the performance of the underlying schemes. Any
change in the investment policies or the fundamental attributes of the underlying schemes
could affect the performance of the Scheme.
The investors of the Scheme will bear dual recurring expenses and possibly dual loads, viz,
those of the Scheme and those of the underlying Scheme. Hence the investor under the
Scheme may receive lower pretax returns than what they could have received if they had
invested directly in the underlying Schemes in the same proportions. The TER of the Scheme
shall be in compliance with the SEBI Mutual Fund Regulations.
The Portfolio disclosure of the Scheme will be limited to providing the particulars of the
underlying schemes where the Scheme has invested and will not include the investments
made by the underlying Schemes. However, as the scheme proposes to invest in The Wealth
Company Gold ETF, the underlying assets will by and large be physical gold.
The value (price) of gold may fluctuate for several reasons and all such fluctuations will result
in changes in the NAV of units under the scheme. The factors that may affect the price of gold,
among other things, include demand and supply for gold in India and in the global market,
Indian and Foreign exchange rates, Interest rates, Inflation trends.
The fund assets are predominantly invested in The Wealth Company Gold ETF and valued at
the market price of the said units on the principal exchange. The same may be at a variance to
the underlying NAV of the fund, due to market expectations, demand supply of the units, etc.
To that extent the performance of scheme shall be at variance with that of the underlying
scheme.
The endeavor would always be to get cash on redemptions from the underlying schemes.
However, in case the underlying schemes are unable to sell for any reason, and delivers
physical gold, there could be delay in payment of redemptions proceeds pending such
realization.
The fund will subscribe according to the value equivalent to unit creation size as applicable for
The Wealth Company Gold ETF. Alternatively, the ETF units may be acquired from the stock
exchanges where the price quoted may be at variance with the underlying NAV, and which
may result in higher acquisition cost. When subscriptions received are not adequate enough to
invest in creation unit size, the subscriptions may be deployed in debt and money market
instruments which will have a different return profile compared to domestic gold and returns
profile.
B. Standard Risk Factors for investments in 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 rates of the securities in which the scheme invests
fluctuates, the value of your investment in the scheme may go up or down.
• Mutual Funds and securities investments are subject to market risks and there can be
no assurance and no guarantee that the Scheme will achieve its objective.
• Past performance of the Schemes, the Sponsors or its Group / Affiliates / AMC /
Mutual Fund does not guarantee the future performance of the scheme of the Mutual
Fund.
• The sponsors are not responsible or liable for any loss resulting from the operations of
the scheme beyond the initial contribution of Rs. 1 lakh made by them towards setting
20up of the mutual fund.
• The name of the Scheme does not in any manner indicate either the quality of the
Scheme, its future prospects or the returns.
• Growth, appreciation, IDCW and income, if any, referred to in this Scheme Information
Documentary subject to the tax laws and other fiscal enactments as they exist from
time to time.
• The NAVs of the Scheme may be affected by changes in the general market
conditions, factors and forces affecting capital market, in particular, level of interest
rates, various market-related factors, trading volumes, settlement periods and transfer
procedures.
• IDCW, if any are/will be subject to the availability of distributable surplus of the
Scheme.
Risk factors associated with investing in debt and Money Market Instruments
The Scheme will invest in debt securities and money market instruments, which are subject to
credit risk, interest rate risk, and settlement risk. Credit risk arises from the possibility that the
issuer of a security may default on its payment obligations. Interest rate risk affects the
valuation of money market instruments, while settlement risk may delay the realization of
proceeds from the sale of these instruments.
• Credit Risk: Bonds / debentures as well as other money market instruments issued by
corporates run the risk of down grading by the rating agencies and even default as the
worst case. Securities issued by Central/State governments have lesser to zero
probability of credit / default risk in view of the sovereign status of the issuer.
• Interest - Rate Risk: The Net Asset Value (NAV) of the Scheme, to the extent that it is
invested in Debt and Money Market instruments, will be influenced by changes in
general interest rates. A decrease in interest rates is expected to result in an increase in
the NAV, while an increase in interest rates would adversely affect the NAV.
• Liquidity Risk: While money market instruments are relatively liquid, they lack a well
developed secondary market, which may limit the Scheme's ability to sell these
instruments and could result in losses until the securities are eventually sold.
• Reinvestment Risk: This risk refers to the interest rate levels at which cash flows
received from the securities in the Scheme are reinvested. The additional income from
reinvestment is the “interest on interest” component. The risk is that the rate at which
interim cash flows can be reinvested may be lower than that originally assumed.
• Prepayment Risk: Some fixed-income securities give the issuer the right to call back
the securities before their maturity date, particularly in periods of declining interest
rates. This prepayment risk may force the Scheme to reinvest the proceeds at lower
yields, resulting in reduced interest income
• Settlement Risk: Different segments of the Indian financial markets have varying
settlement periods, which may be extended due to unforeseen circumstances.
Settlement delays could lead to periods where the Scheme's assets are uninvested,
resulting in no returns. Additionally, the Scheme may miss certain investment
opportunities if it is unable to make intended securities purchases due to settlement
issues. Similarly, the inability to sell securities held in the Scheme’s portfolio due to a
lack of a well-developed and liquid secondary market for debt securities could result in
potential losses if the value of these securities declines.
• Systematic Risk
The Scheme is exposed to systematic risks that affect the entire market, such as
economic recessions, changes in interest rates, geopolitical tensions, and natural
disasters. These risks cannot be mitigated through diversification, and any negative
macroeconomic developments could impact the overall performance of the scheme.
• Legal and Regulatory Risks
Changes in laws, regulations, or accounting standards governing the scheme's
operations could have adverse implications for the scheme and its investors.
Regulatory actions, legal disputes, or changes in taxation could also affect the
21scheme’s performance, NAV, and the investors' returns.
Risks associated with investment in units of mutual fund:
Investment in Mutual Fund Units involves investment risks, including but not limited to risks such
as liquidity risk, volatility risk, default risk including the possible loss of principal.
• Liquidity risk – The liquidity of the scheme’s investments is inherently restricted by trading
volumes and settlement periods. In the event of an inordinately large number of
redemption requests, or of a restructuring of the scheme’s investment portfolio, these
periods may become significant. In view of the same, the Trustees may limit redemptions
(including suspending redemptions) under certain circumstances as specified under the
Scheme Information Document.
• Volatility risks: There is the risk of volatility in markets due to external factors like liquidity
flows, changes in the business environment, economic policy etc. The scheme will manage
volatility risk through diversification across companies and sectors within PSUs.
• Default risk - Credit risk is risk resulting from uncertainty in counterparty's ability or
willingness to meet its contractual obligations. This risk pertains to the risk of default of
payment of principal and interest. Government Securities have zero credit risk while other
debt instruments are rated according to the issuer's ability to meet the obligations.
Risks associated with investing in ETFs:
ETFs are passively managed and may be affected by a general decline in the Indian markets
relating to its Underlying Index. ETFs 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.
ETFs are listed on a stock exchange/s, however, there can be no assurance that an active
secondary market will develop or be maintained. Investment in ETFs is subject to tracking error.
Factors such as the fees and expenses of the Scheme, corporate actions, cash balance, changes
to the Underlying Index and regulatory policies may affect the AMC‟s ability to achieve close
correlation with the Underlying Index of the Scheme. The AMC will endeavour to constantly
minimize the tracking error and track the index as closely as possible.
Con. Std. Obs. 10
Risk associated with Tracking Error and Tracking Difference:
The Fund Manager would not be able to invest the entire corpus in physical gold due to certain
factors such as the fees and expenses of the Scheme, corporate actions, cash balance, changes
to the underlying index and regulatory restrictions, which may result in Tracking Error with the
underlying index. The Scheme’s returns may therefore deviate from those of the underlying index.
“Tracking Error” is defined as the standard deviation of the difference between daily returns of the
underlying index and the NAV of the Scheme. Tracking Difference” is the annualized difference of
daily returns between the goods and the NAV of the scheme (difference between fund return and
the goods return). Tracking Error and Tracking difference may arise including but not limited to
the following reasons:
• Expenditure incurred by the Fund.
• Available funds may not be invested at all times as the Scheme may keep a portion of the
funds in cash to meet Redemptions, for corporate actions or otherwise. • Securities
trading may halt temporarily due to circuit filters.
• Corporate actions such as debenture or warrant conversion, rights issuances, mergers,
change in constituents etc.
• Rounding-off of the quantity of shares in the underlying index.
• Dividend payout.
• Index providers undertake a periodical review of the scrips that comprise the underlying
index and may either drop or include new scrips. In such an event, the Fund will try to
reallocate its portfolio but the available investment/reinvestment opportunity may not
permit absolute mirroring immediately.
SEBI Regulations (if any) may impose restrictions on the investment and/or divestment activities
of the Scheme Such restrictions are typically outside the control of the AMC and may cause or
22exacerbate the Tracking Error. It will be the endeavor of the fund manager to keep the tracking
error as low as possible. However, in case of events like, dividend received from underlying
securities, rights issue from underlying securities, and market volatility during rebalancing of the
portfolio following the rebalancing of the underlying index, etc. or in abnormal market
circumstances may result in tracking error. There can be no assurance or guarantee that the
Scheme will achieve any particular level of tracking error relative to performance of the Index. The
tracking error i.e. the annualized standard deviation of the difference in daily returns between the
underlying index or goods and the NAV of the ETF/ Index Fund (other than Debt ETFs/ Index
Funds) based on past one year rolling data shall not exceed 2%.In case of unavoidable
circumstances in the nature of force majeure, beyond the control of the AMCs, this may exceed
2% then it shall be brought to the notice of Trustees with corrective actions taken by the AMC, if
any.
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 working 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.
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.
Risks associated with handling, storing and safekeeping of physical gold:
All physical gold procured must follow the LMBA guidelines as per prescribed SEBI guidelines.
Risk arises when part or all of the gold held by the Fund could be lost, stolen or damaged and
access to gold 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 gold as specified under the LMBA guidelines. Since this is paramount to the
SEBI guidelines the risk arises in violation of same. Safekeeping of physical gold requires
appropriate vaulting space, confirming to the best global standards. The vaulting agents engaged
by the custodian needs to ensure the same.
Risks Related to the Custody of Gold
• The Custodian is responsible for the safekeeping of the gold bullion and also facilitates the
transfer of gold bullion into and out of the vault. Although the Custodian is a market maker,
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 ETF is dependent on the Custodian to comply with the best practices
of the LBMA and to implement satisfactory internal controls for its gold bullion custody
23operations in order to keep the gold bullion secure.
• The Custodian is responsible for loss or damage to the gold 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 willful 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 gold
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 gold lost, or the amount of any balance held on an
unallocated basis, at the time of the Custodian’s negligence, fraud or willful default, or at the
time of the act or omission giving rise to the claim for indemnification.
• Neither 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 to with the Custodian contemplate that the Custodian must
undertake certain tasks in connection with the inspection of gold 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 gold bars, but does not include any chemical or
other tests designed to verify that the gold received does, in fact, meet the purity
requirements. Accordingly, such inspection procedures may not prevent the deposit of gold
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 gold otherwise properly inspected by it does not
meet the purity requirements.
• The AMC does not insure its gold (Underlying gold 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, Shareholders cannot be assured that the Custodian maintains
adequate insurance or any insurance with respect to the gold held by the Custodian on
behalf of the Trust

C. RISK MITIGATION STRATEGIES
Investments in debt and derivative securities carry various risks such as inability to sell securities,
trading volumes and settlement periods, market risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, default risk,
reinvestment risk etc. Whilst such risks cannot be eliminated, they may be mitigated by
diversification and hedging.
In order to mitigate the various risks, the portfolio of the Scheme will be constructed in
accordance with the investment restriction specified under the Regulations which would help in
mitigating certain risks relating to investments in securities market.
The AMC has necessary framework in place for risk mitigation at an enterprise level. The Risk
Management division is an independent division within the organization. Internal limits are defined
and judiciously monitored. Risk indicators on various parameters are computed and are
monitored on a regular basis. For risk control, the following may be noted:
Risk & Description specific to the Scheme Risk mitigants / management strategy
Market risk Endeavour to have a well diversified portfolio of good
Risk arising due to vulnerability to price companies with the ability to use cash/derivatives for
fluctuations and volatility, having material impact hedging
on the overall returns of the scheme
Derivatives risk Continuous monitoring of the derivatives positions
Various inherent risks arising as a consequence of and strictly adheres to the regulations and internal
investing in derivatives. norms. Exposure with respect to derivatives shall be

Concentration risk flexibility to invest across tenor
Risk arising due to over exposure in few securities
Liquidity risk Control portfolio liquidity at portfolio construction
Risk arising due to inefficient Asset Liability stage. Having optimum mix of cash & cash
Management, resulting in high impact costs equivalents along with the debt papers in the portfolio
Interest rate risk Control the portfolio duration and periodically
Price volatility due to movement in interest rates evaluate the portfolio structure with respect to
existing interest rate scenario
Event risk Understand businesses to respond effectively and
Price risk due to company or sector specific event speedily to events. Usage of derivatives: Hedge
portfolios, if required, in case of predictable events
with uncertain outcomes
While these measures are expected to mitigate the above risks to a large extent, there can be no
assurance that these risks would be completely eliminated.
The AMC has necessary framework in place for risk mitigation at an enterprise level. The Risk
Management division is an independent division within the organization. Risk indicators & internal
limits are defined and judiciously monitored on a regular basis. There is a Board level Committee,
the Risk Management Committee of the Board, which enables a dedicated focus on risk factors
and the relevant risk mitigation measures.
Index Valuation of Gold:
methodology/
Details of The Scheme will invest in physical Gold. Since physical Gold and other permitted instruments

Portfolio Disclosures:
Disclosure
In terms of SEBI Regulation, Mutual Funds/ AMCs will disclose portfolio (along with ISIN) as on
the last day of the month/half-year for all Schemes on its website and on the website of AMFI
(www.amfiindia.com) within 10 days from the close of each month/ half-year respectively in a
user-friendly and downloadable spreadsheet format. The Mutual Fund/AMCs will send to Unit
holders a complete statement of the scheme portfolio, within ten days from the close of each
month/half-year whose email addresses are registered with the Mutual Fund. Further, the
Mutual Fund/AMC shall publish an advertisement disclosing the hosting of such half yearly
scheme portfolios on its website and on the website of AMFI (www.amfiindia.com). Mutual
Funds/ AMCs will also provide a physical copy of the statement of its scheme portfolio, without
charging ay cost, on specific request received from a unit holder. The same is available on the
AMC’s website on the link: https://www.wealthcompanyamc.in/download-forms
Portfolio Turnover:
The Scheme being an open-ended Scheme, it is expected that there would be a number of
subscriptions and redemptions on a daily basis. The fund management team depending on its
view and subject to there being an opportunity, may trade in securities, which will result in
increase in portfolio turnover. There may be an increase in transaction cost such as brokerage
paid, if trading is done frequently. However, the cost would be negligible as compared to the
total expenses of the Scheme.
26Frequent trading may increase the profits which will offset the increase in costs. The fund
manager will endeavour to optimize portfolio turnover to maximize gains and minimize risks
keeping in mind the cost associated with it. However, it is difficult to estimate with reasonable
measure of accuracy the likely turnover in the portfolio of the Scheme. The Scheme has no
specific target relating to portfolio turnover.

(IDCW) availability of distributable surplus calculated in accordance with the SEBI (Mutual Funds)
Regulations, 1996 (‘SEBI (MF) Regulations’). The actual declaration of pay-out under IDCW and

with SEBI (MF) Regulations and the decisions of the Trustee shall be final in this regard. There is
no assurance or guarantee to the Unit holders as to the rate of pay-out under IDCW nor the
payout will be paid regularly.
When units are sold, and sale price (NAV) is higher than the face value of the unit, a portion of the
sale price that represents realized gains is credited to an Equalization Reserve Account which can
be used to IDCW payout. The amounts can be distributed out of investors’ capital (Equalization

decision of the Trustee, in one English daily newspaper having nationwide circulation as well as
in a newspaper published in the language of the region where the head office of the Mutual Fund
is situated. The record date shall be two working days from the date of publication in at least one
English newspaper or in a newspaper published in the language of the region where the Head
Office of the mutual fund is situated, whichever is issued earlier.
31The investors should note that the Fund does not assure or guarantee declaration of IDCW under

frequency and the rate of IDCW will inter alia, depend on availability of distributable surplus
calculated in accordance with SEBI (MF) Regulations and the decisions of the Trustee shall be
final in this regard. There is no assurance or guarantee to the unitholders as to the rate of IDCW
nor that the IDCW will be paid regularly. Post declaration of IDCW, the NAV of the Units under
the Income Distribution cum Capital Withdrawal Option will stand reduced by the amount of
IDCW declared and applicable statutory levy. Even though the asset portfolio will be common at
the scheme level, the NAVs of the growth option and Income Distribution cum Capital Withdrawal
Option in each respective Plan under the Scheme will be distinctly different after declaration of
the first IDCW to the extent of distributed income, applicable tax and statutory levy, if any, and
expenses relating to the distribution of the IDCW.

repurchase or IDCW, as the case may be.
However, under exceptional circumstances where the schemes would be unable to transfer the
redemption / repurchase / IDCW proceeds to investors within the time as stipulated above, the

frame, prescribed by AMFI, in consultation with SEBI. For further details in this regard, please
