Investment in debt will be made through secondary market purchases, public offers and placements. The securities 12SCHEME INFORMATION DOCUMENT (SID) could be listed / unlisted, privately placed, secured / unsecured, rated / unrated in accordance with various SEBI regulations.

Detailed definition and applicable regulations/guidelines for each instrument shall be included in Section II of this document.

C. WHAT ARE THE INVESTMENT STRATEGIES? Con. Std. Obs. 27 As per investment objective, the Scheme will endeavour to achieve diversification across Equity, Debt, and Gold/Silver related asset classes with an aim to generate superior risk adjusted returns and provide income/ long-term capital appreciation. Investments under the Scheme will be predominantly in a mix of money market instruments, debt securities, equity & equity related instruments, Gold/ Silver related instruments including ETFs, Exchange Traded Commodities Derivatives (ETCDs), units of REITs and InvITs and such other asset classes as SEBI may prescribe from time to time.

To achieve the investment objective, the Scheme will diversify investments across Equity, Debt, and Gold/Silver related asset classes including ETFs, Exchange Traded Commodities Derivatives (ETCDs), units of REITs and InvITs and such other asset classes as SEBI may prescribe from time to time with an aim to generate superior risk adjusted returns and provide income/ long-term capital appreciation.

The scheme’s allocation to equity, debt, and commodities will be dynamic, guided by internal models considering factors such as • valuation levels of assets, • ratios among gold, silver and equity • macroeconomic conditions, and capitalization rates. The scheme may invest in Exchange Traded Commodity Derivatives (ETCD) or ETFs with commodity underlying assets, as well as other permissible instruments linked to commodity prices.

The allocation in various asset classes and schemes would be dependent upon multiple factors like market valuations, yield gap, gold / silver prices & momentum of the asset class. Hence the scheme would consider the prevalent factors to decide on the level of allocation between these asset classes based on the fund manager’s outlook. As per our view, no single factor is responsible for an efficient dynamic asset allocation strategy in different market conditions.

Pertaining to Gold / Silver asset class, the scheme shall invest in Exchange Traded Commodity Derivatives (ETCD) or ETFs with these underlying or any other permissible instruments linked with gold / silver prices. Long-term investments in gold / silver will be based on these assets’ fundamentals driven by comprehensive research studies, demand-supply, and other macroeconomic factors. Short term investment will be to capture arbitrage opportunities, price corrections or other event-based opportunities in the market.

The Scheme will invest in a diversified portfolio of debt and money market instruments to generate regular income. The fund manager will allocate the assets of the scheme taking into consideration the prevailing interest rate scenario & the liquidity of the different instruments.

The portfolio duration and credit exposures will be decided based on thorough research of the general macroeconomic condition, political and fiscal environment, systemic liquidity, inflationary expectations, corporate performance, and other economic considerations.

The Scheme may use SLBM to earn additional income for the scheme with lesser risk.

The scheme may take an exposure in REIT and InvITs at an opportune time to generate income from real estate or infrastructure assets.

Investing in REITs and InvITs has the potential to generate capital appreciation and regular income streams.

For Equity Segment:

At Wealth Company Mutual Fund we follow an active investment strategy based on fundamental research and an eclectic approach to benefit from bottom-up stock selection after duly considering the top-down structural trends. We intend to use an in-house screening process based on scientific and analytical approach to arrive at an investible universe for our funds. Additionally, we intend to use the research rigour and diligence of a private equity approach in our portfolio construction process.

We believe ‘CHANGE’ is the only constant. While investing in any company, we will leverage the positive impact brought in due to ‘C.H.A.N.G.E.’ Our C.H.A.N.G.E framework encompasses factors like Capable Management, Historical Performance, Attractive Valuations, Navigating the business cycles with strategy, Good Governance, Earnings Growth and Execution Excellence. We utilise our proprietary screening model to evaluate businesses based on such factors and build investible universe of stocks. We will also leverage a multi- dimensional lens to assess market direction and positioning based on ‘E.D.G.E.’ which comprises of E-Exchange and market specific indicators, D- Domestic economic indicators, G-Global indicators, E- Exit/Rebalancing Strategy.

Our investment philosophy is to generate consistent, long-term, risk-adjusted returns. We will adopt a combination of top-down and bottom- up investment approach focused on adding value through our stock selection framework. We will evaluate investment opportunities

considering: • Macro-economic factors and changing trends • Domestic and overseas business environment • Scalability, longevity and profitability of businesses • Other tangible and intangible factors affecting the company • Any other factors the fund management team considers to be material in nature From time to time, the fund manager may also invest in debt, debt related securities, Gold / Silver related assets including ETFs, REITs for optimal portfolio performance.

For Debt Segment:

Principles The Fund management team will endevour to maintain a consistent performance by maintaining a balance between safety, liquidity and return parameters of various investments while considering the investment objectives of the scheme. The Fixed income portion of any non- debt-oriented Fund would be based on the following broad principles:

It should act as a stable anchor. a. Its duration to be managed actively but it should not be such that it becomes a source of risk. b. Ensuring that there is enough liquidity at all times to ensure smooth rebalancing of the portfolio.

The Fund Management team would adhere to the above principles while managing the debt portion of the scheme.

13T HE WEALTH COMPANY MUTUAL FUND Process The investment process that the Fund Management Team follows can be summarized by the acronym EPOCH. Broadly, this entails the

following steps: Understanding the economic environment which is the core of fixed income investing. An assessment of macroeconomic indicators such as GDP growth, inflation trends, external conditions, liquidity conditions and probable central bank policy would be undertaken which would enable the team to shape a forward-looking view of market conditions that impact interest rates, yield curve and credit spreads.

Next, pricing and relative value analysis would allow the team to identify mispriced securities and opportunities across different segments of the yield curve, credit spectrum, and sectors. This would ensure capital is allocated where risk-adjusted returns are most compelling, avoiding expensive or overbought areas of the market.

With this foundation, the team would determine the optimal positioning of the portfolio through strategic asset allocation. This involves aligning duration, sector weights, and credit exposure with the fund’s investment horizon and risk tolerance. It would also ensure that the structure of the portfolio is resilient under different market scenarios while staying true to investment objectives.

A thorough credit quality analysis would then be conducted to assess the financial health and resilience of issuers. This would include evaluating industry outlook, promoter background, financial strength including leverage, cash flow stability and covenant structures. Such analysis helps mitigate default risk and avoid excessive exposure to complex or opaque instruments.

Finally, hedging and risk control measures would be implemented to safeguard the portfolio against adverse market movements. This could involve fixed income derivatives, use of floating rate instruments, portfolio laddering, liquidity analysis, credit derivatives, or duration overlays, ensuring that unexpected volatility does not derail long-term performance.

Credit Quality Analysis The credit quality analysis would form the basis for inclusion of issuers in a COVERAGE LIST. For each initial investment in a company, a research report would be prepared incorporating the beforementioned factors. Thereafter, the same would be updated on a regular basis.

An update would, however, be made in the event of any material developments with respect to the company fundamentals, in the interim.

The investment team may look at external research (external credit ratings/Buy side/sell side reports etc) as one of the inputs while preparing the research reports.

All investments will necessarily be made from the active Coverage list. Investments may be added/deleted from the Coverage list based on any change in company fundamentals.

Risk Management Investment Risk

The Fund Management team will perform the following actions to manage investment risk: • Only those securities that form a part of the COVERAGE list can be added to the portfolio • Controlled Issuer/sector concentration limits • Fund may take offsetting hedges (including use of fixed income derivatives, floating rate instruments, cash levels etc.) to control the interest rate risk in the portfolio • Scenario analysis to evaluate portfolio sensitivity to interest rate changes • Ladder portfolio to mitigate risks associated with interest rate volatility • Monitoring issuer/sector level concentration • Monitoring investor concentration along with flows • Early Warning system basis yield movement and stock price, if available • Monitoring of any adverse news/rumors in the media Credit Risk • In-house credit risk assessment before inclusion of securities in the Coverage list and on a regular basis thereafter • Analysis/evaluation of external credit rating agencies’ ratings as well as other Coverage/sell side research reports • Use of early warning signals basis yield/price signals and/or any adverse news or rumors in the media • Concentration limits on issuer/group/sectoral basis as outlined elsewhere in the document • Utilizing default studies to stress test the portfolio for possible credit migration impact(s) Liquidity Risk • Liability side analysis • Portfolio diversification • Ladder portfolio • Portfolio liquidity

For Derivatives Segment:

The Scheme may take derivatives position based on the opportunities available subject to the guidelines issued by SEBI from time to time and in line with the overall investment objective of the Scheme. These may be taken to hedge the portfolio, rebalance the same or to undertake any other strategy as permitted under the SEBI Regulations.

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 an increase in portfolio turnover. There may be an increase in transaction costs such as brokerage paid, if trading is done frequently.

However, the cost would be negligible as compared to the total expenses of the Scheme.

14SCHEME INFORMATION DOCUMENT (SID) Frequent 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.

A. RISK MEASUREMENT / 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 AMC has systems that enable the fund manager to calculate various risk ratios, average duration etc.

The Investment Committee may from time to time define internal investment norms for the scheme. The Fund Management proposes to use analytic risk management tools like VAR/convexity/ modified duration for effective portfolio management.

Equity Liquidity Risk: The fund will try to maintain a proper asset liability match to ensure redemption payments are made on time and not affected by illiquidity of the underlying stocks.

Concentration Risk: The fund will endeavour to have a well-diversified equity portfolio comprising stocks across various sectors of the economy. This would aid in managing concentration risk and sector specific risks. Generally, diversification across market cap segments also aids in managing volatility and ensuring adequate liquidity at all times.

Derivatives Risk: The fund will endeavour to maintain adequate controls to monitor the derivatives transactions entered.

Risk Mitigants specifically for Debt Segment:

The limits at an issuer level are defined based on the following parameters: • Eligible Instruments: Defines the eligible instruments where the scheme can invest. • Minimum Liquidity: Defines the instruments considered as liquid instruments and the minimum investment in these instruments as a percentage of total net assets.

• Rating: Defines minimum and/ or maximum investment in a particular rating as a percentage of total portfolios. • Maturity: Defined the weighted average maturity of a portfolio. Also defines the weighted average maturity, maximum and maturity for certain asset types like corporate bonds, PTCs, Gilts etc.

Liquidity Risks The liquidity of the Scheme’s investments may be inherently restricted by trading volumes, transfer procedures and settlement periods.

Liquidity Risk can be partly mitigated by diversification, staggering of maturities as well as internal risk controls that lean towards purchase of liquid securities.

Interest Rate Risk Changes in interest rates affect the prices of bonds. If interest rates rise the prices of bonds fall and vice versa. A well-diversified portfolio may help to mitigate this risk. Hence, while the interim NAV will fluctuate in response to changes in interest rates, the final NAV will be more stable. To that extent the interest rate risk will be mitigated at the maturity of the scheme. Further, the Scheme may use Interest rate derivatives to mitigate the interest rate risks and rebalance the portfolio.

Credit Risks Credit risk shall be mitigated by investing in rated papers of the companies having the sound background, strong fundamentals, and quality of management and financial strength of the Company.

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. To that extent the Volatility risk will be mitigated in the scheme.

Credit Evaluation Policy The credit evaluation policy of the AMC entails evaluation of credit fundamentals of each underlying exposure. Some of the major factors

that could be evaluated are: a) Outlook on the sector b) Strength & Support of the Parent c) Quality of management d) Overall financial strength of the credit as determined by key financial ratios.

Ratings of recognized rating agencies are taken as a reference point in the credit evaluation process. Investments in bonds and debenture are made usually in instruments that have high investment grade ratings by a recognized rating agency.

2) DERIVATIVES Derivative products are leveraged instruments and can provide disproportionate gains as well as disproportionate losses to the investor.

Execution of such strategies depends upon the ability of the fund manager to identify such opportunities. Identification and execution of the strategies to be pursued by the fund manager involve uncertainty and decision of 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.

Con. Std. Obs. 28 For detailed derivative strategies, please refer to SAI.

In Addition to the above, SEBI has also prescribed following derivative limits: As per provision no. 5.2, 7.5, 7.6, 12.25, of SEBI Master

Circular on Mutual Fund dated June 27, 2024 Mutual Funds are allowed to trade in derivatives Mutual Funds can trade in index futures, index options, stock options and stock futures contracts. Earlier Mutual Funds were only allowed to use derivatives for hedging and portfolio balancing.

The exposure to derivatives will be as per SEBI Regulations/ Guidelines/ Circulars issued time to time.

15T HE WEALTH COMPANY MUTUAL FUND A. INVESTMENT PROCESS:

As part of the investment process, the investments team may use / rely on internal or external research. Internal research would mean research done primarily by the internal team of analysts and fund managers while external research could be from brokers, investment banks, external research agencies, investor- relation firms or agencies like CRISIL etc.

As per SEBI Regulations and SEBI Circular 12.2.23.1 of SEBI Master circular dated June 27, 2024 all mutual funds are required to prepare and retain a research report detailing reasons for the purchase of shares of a company for the first time. The initial research report carrying the date of publication will be signed off by the respective analysts and the fund manager. The research report along with the rationale for the transaction will be documented and preserved for future reference and audit purposes by the Investment team. The copy of the research report shall be maintained either in physical or electronic form.

• Equity Research Report would contain: • Name of the company • Date of report • Business description and analysis • Investment rationale • Summary of Financials Liquidity Management & Cash Position:

When the Fund Management Team constructs the scheme portfolio, it will try to stay invested to the maximum possible extent, in line with the asset allocation pattern mentioned in the SID. However, higher allocation to cash can be made under extreme conditions or to meet any exigencies.

Overview of Debt Market in India:

The instruments available in the Indian Debt Market are classified into two categories, namely Government and Non - Government debt.

Activity in the Primary and Secondary Market is dominated by Central Government Securities including Treasury Bills.

Mutual Funds, Pension Funds, Insurance companies has led to higher participation by issuers in debt markets which was earlier dominated by banks.

The key instruments available for investment are Government securities, Corporate Bonds, Treasury Bills, Commercial Papers, Certificate of Deposits, Government guaranteed bonds, etc.

Brief details about the instruments are given below as on June 30, 2025:

Instruments Current Yield Range Liquidity Risk Profile Central Government Securities 5.25% - 7.25% High Low Corporate Debentures/ PSU Bonds 5.75% - 7.15% Moderate Medium CDs (Short Term) 5.50% - 6.35% High Low Commercial Paper (CP) 5.60% - 6.80% High Low Call Money 5.25% - 5.50% High Low *Current Yield Range for G-SEC and PSU is between 1 year and 15 year A brief description about yields presently available on Central Govt. Securities/ Bonds & Debentures of various maturities is as follows:

Annualised yields (as on Mar 24, 2025) are:

Years =< 1yr 1yr - 5yr 5yr - 10 yr 10 yr - 30 yrs Central Government Securities 5.25% - 5.60% 5.60% - 6.10% 6.10% - 6.40% 6.40% - 7.00% Debentures/Bonds (AAA rated) 5.75% - 6.45% 6.45% - 6.80% 6.45% - 7.05% 7.05% - 7.15% 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 varies according to maturity profile, credit risk etc.

D. HOW WILL THE SCHEME BENCHMARK ITS PERFORMANCE? The performance of the scheme will be benchmarked to the performance of the as per Benchmark i.e. NIFTY 200 TRI (40%) + NIFTY Short Duration Debt Index (45%) Domestic Prices of Gold (10%) + Domestic Prices of Silver (5%) Justification for use of benchmark The composition of the above blended benchmark is in line with the investment objective of the Scheme. The allocation to NIFTY 200 TRI reflects the equity component, the NIFTY Short Duration Debt Index represents the fixed-income allocation, and the inclusion of domestic prices of Gold and Silver captures the commodity allocation. This blended index therefore provides an appropriate representation of the Scheme’s diversified strategy under normal circumstances and is considered the most suitable benchmark for performance comparison.

As required under Para 1.9 of SEBI Master Circular SEBI/HO/IMD/IMD-PoD-1/P/CIR/2024/90 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 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 after obtaining relevant approval from SEBI.

AMC shall invest in the scheme based on the risk associated with the scheme as specified in para 6.9 of SEBI Master Circular for Mutual Funds dated June 27, 2024 read with AMFI Best Practice Guidelines Circular 135/BP/100/2022-23 dated April 26, 2022 and any other circulars issued there under, from time to time.

During the NFO period, AMC’s investment shall be made during the allotment of units and shall be calculated as a percentage of the final allotment value excluding AMC’s investment pursuant to this circular.

In line with SEBI Regulations and circulars issued by SEBI from time to time, the AMC may invest its own funds in the scheme(s). Further, AMC shall not charge any fees on its investment in the Scheme (s), unless allowed to do so under SEBI Regulations in the future. Further,

PART III: OTHER DETAILS A. COMPUTATION OF NAV 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.

Market/Fair value of Scheme’s Investments + Current Assets – Current Liabilities and Provisions NAV = No. of units outstanding under Scheme

Illustration: Assumptions - on the day of calculation of NAV:

Con. Std. Obs. 42 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 Con. Std. Obs. 47

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.

The Fund will ensure that the Redemption Price is not lower than 95% 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

1. Standard Risk a. 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. • Investment in equity and equity related securities including option contracts involve high degree of risks and investors should not invest in the schemes unless they can afford to take the risk of losing their investment.

• 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 up 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. b. Scheme Specific Risk Factors:

Con. Std. Obs. 8 Some of the specific risk factors related to the schemes include, but are not limited to the following:

Risk factors associated with investing in Debt securities 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.

• Risks associated with investment in unlisted securities: Except for any security of an associate or group company, the scheme may 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 securities may lack a liquid secondary market and there can be no assurance that the Scheme will realize their investments in unlisted securities at a fair value. The AMC may choose to invest in unlisted securities that offer attractive yields, which could increase the risk of the portfolio.

• Price Risk: Government securities where a fixed return is offered run price-risk like any other fixed income security. Generally, when interest rates rise, prices of fixed income securities fall 29 and when interest rates drop, the 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. The new level of interest rate is determined by the rates at which government raises new money and/or the price levels at which the market is already dealing in existing securities. The price-risk is not unique to Government Securities. It exists for all fixed income securities. However, Government Securities are unique in the sense that their local currency credit risk generally remains zero. Therefore, their prices are primarily influenced by movements in interest rates within the financial system.

• Different types of fixed income securities in which the Scheme 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 level of risk than Government securities. Further even among corporate bonds, AAA rated bonds are comparatively less risky than AA rated bonds.

• As zero-coupon securities do not provide periodic interest payments to the holder of the security, these securities are more sensitive to changes in interest rates. Therefore, the interest rate risk of zero-coupon securities is higher. The AMC may choose to invest in zero coupon securities that offer attractive yields. This may increase the risk of the portfolio.

25c. 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.

d. 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 scheme’s performance, NAV, and the investors' returns.

e. Risks associated with Securities Lending Engaging in securities lending is subject to risks related to fluctuations in collateral value and settlement / liquidity and counterparty risks.

The risks in lending portfolio securities, as with other extensions of credit, consist of the failure of another party, in this case the approved intermediary, to comply with the terms of agreement entered into between the lender of securities i.e. the Scheme and the approved intermediary. Such failure to comply can result in the possible loss of rights in the collateral put up by the borrower of the securities, the inability of the approved intermediary to return the securities deposited by the lender and the possible loss of any corporate benefits accruing to the lender from the securities deposited with the approved intermediary. The Mutual Fund may not be able to sell such lent securities and this can lead to temporary illiquidity.

f. Trading in debt and equity derivatives involves certain specific risks like: • Credit Risk: This is the risk of default by the counter party. This is usually to the extent of difference between actual position and contracted position. This risk is substantially mitigated where derivative transactions happen through clearing corporation.

• Market Risk: Market movement may also adversely affect the pricing and settlement of derivative trades like cash trades. • Illiquidity Risk: The risk that a derivative product may not be sold or purchased at a fair price due to lack of liquidity in the market.

• An exposure to derivatives can lead to losses. Success of dealing in derivatives depends on the ability of the Fund Manager to correctly assess the future market movement and in the event of incorrect assessment, if any, performance of the scheme could be lower.

• Interest Rate Swaps (IRSs) and Forward Rate Agreements (FRAs) do also have inherent credit and settlement risks. However, these risks are substantially less as they are limited to the interest stream and not the notional principal amount.

• Participating in derivatives is a highly specialized activity and entails greater than ordinary investment risks. Notwithstanding such derivatives being used for limited purpose of hedging and portfolio balancing, the overall market in these segments could be highly speculative due to action of other participants in the market.

• 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. g. The aggregate value of “illiquid securities” of the scheme, which are defined by SEBI as non traded, thinly traded and unlisted equity shares, shall not exceed 15% of the total assets of the scheme and any illiquid securities held above 15% of the total assets shall be assigned zero value.

h. In the event of receipt of inordinately large number of redemption requests or a restructuring of the schemes’ portfolio, there may be delays in the redemption of units. i. Different types of securities in which the scheme 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. For 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.

j. the aggregate value of “illiquid securities” of the scheme, which are defined by SEBI as non- traded, thinly traded and unlisted equity shares, shall not exceed 15% of the total assets of the scheme and any illiquid securities held above 15% of the total assets shall be assigned zero value.

k. In the event of receipt of inordinately large number of redemption requests or a restructuring of the schemes’ portfolio, there may be delays in the redemption of units. l. Different types of securities in which the scheme 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. For 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.

m. Risks associated with different derivative strategies Con. Std. Obs. 28 AMC may use various derivative instruments, from time to time, in an attempt to protect or hedge the portfolio values. • Derivative products are leveraged instruments and can provide disproportionate gains as well as disproportionate losses to the investors. 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 involved 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.

• Derivative products are specialized instruments that require investment techniques and risk analysis different from those associated with stocks and bonds. Derivatives require the maintenance of adequate controls to monitor the transactions entered into, the ability to assess the risk that a derivative add to the portfolio and the ability to forecast price of securities being hedged and interest rate movements correctly. There is a possibility that a loss may be sustained by the portfolio as a result of the failure of another party (usually referred to as the “counterparty”) to comply with the terms of the derivatives contract. Other 26SCHEME INFORMATION DOCUMENT (SID) risks in using derivatives include the risk of mis-pricing or improper valuation of derivatives and the inability of derivatives to correlate perfectly with underlying assets, rates and indices.

• 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. • The schemes may invest in floating rate instruments and / or interest rate derivatives. The duration of these instruments is linked to the interest rate reset period. The interest rate risk in a floating rate instrument or in a fixed rate instrument hedged with derivatives is likely to be less than that in an equivalent maturity fixed rate instrument. Under some market circumstances the volatility may be of an order greater than what may ordinarily be expected considering only its duration. Hence investors are recommended to consider the unadjusted portfolio maturity of the scheme as well and exercise adequate due diligence when deciding to make their investments • The Scheme may face execution risk, whereby the rates seen on the screen may not be the rate at which the ultimate execution of the derivative transaction takes place.

• The Scheme may find it difficult or impossible to execute derivative transactions in certain circumstances. For example, when there are insufficient bids or suspension of trading due to price limit or circuit breakers, the Scheme may face a liquidity issue.

• Investments in index futures face the same risk as the investments in a portfolio of shares representing an index. The extent of loss is the same as in the underlying stocks. • The Scheme bears a risk that it may not be able to correctly forecast future market trends or the value of assets, indices or other financial or economic factors in establishing derivative positions for the Scheme.

• 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 counter party may default on a transaction before settlement and therefore, the Scheme is compelled to negotiate with another counterparty at the then prevailing (possibly unfavorable) market price.

• The risk of loss in trading futures contracts can be substantial, because of the low margin deposits required, the extremely high degree of leverage involved in futures pricing and the potential high volatility of the futures markets.

• Where derivatives are used for hedging, such use may involve a basic risk where the instrument used as a hedge does not match the movement in the instrument/underlying asset being hedged. The risk may be interrelated also e.g., interest rate movements can affect equity prices, which could influence specific issuer/industry assets.

• 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.

Risks specific to certain derivative strategies are highlighted below:

(i) Risk Factors of SWAP

Risks associated with Swaps:

Interest rate risk is significant because interest rates do not always move as expected. Both parties have interest rate risk. The holder of the fixed rate risks the floating interest rate going higher, thereby losing interest that it would have otherwise received. The holder of the floating rate risks interest rates going lower, which results in a loss of cash flow since the fixed rate holder still has to make streams of payments to the counterparty.

The other main risk associated with swaps is counterparty risk. This is the risk that the counterparty to a swap will default and be unable to meet its obligations under the terms of the swap agreement. If the holder of the floating rate is unable to make payments under the swap agreement, the holder of the fixed rate has credit exposure to changes in the interest rate agreement. This is the risk the holder of the fixed rate was seeking to avoid.

Risks associated with Forward Rate Contracts:

When entering into an FRA, both parties to the contract entail credit risk exposure. The additional risks could be on account of lack of opportunity, illiquidity.

(ii) 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.

Risk of Writing of Call Option Under a Cover Call Strategy:

Under a delivery settlement a call writer will have to part with the physical holding of security which was originally intended for long-term holding. n. Risk pertaining to covered call strategy Incorrectly pricing the option premium before writing the covered call by ignoring factors which determine pricing like number of days to expiry, adjustment with respect to announced corporate actions like dividend etc.

Other scheme specific risks factors a. Investors may note that AMC/Fund Manager’s investment decisions may not always be profitable, even though it is intended to generate capital appreciation and maximize the returns by actively investing in equity/ equity related securities.

b. The value of the investments in the scheme, may be affected generally by factors affecting securities markets, such as price and volume volatility in the capital markets, interest rates, currency exchange rates, changes in policies of the Government, taxation laws or policies of any appropriate authority and other political and economic developments and closure of stock exchanges which may 27have an adverse bearing on individual securities, a specific sector or all sectors including equity and debt markets. Consequently, the NAV of the Units of the Scheme may fluctuate and can go up or down.

c. Trading volumes, settlement periods and transfer procedures may restrict the liquidity of the equity and equity related investments made by the Scheme which could cause the scheme to miss certain investment opportunities. Different segments of the 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 inability of the Scheme to make intended securities purchases due to settlement problems could also cause the Scheme to miss certain investment opportunities. By the same rationale, the inability to sell securities held in the scheme’s portfolio due to the absence of a well developed and liquid secondary market for debt securities would result, at times, in potential losses to the Scheme, in case of a subsequent decline in the value of securities held in the scheme’s portfolio.

d. 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 or offer other exit options to the investor, including a put option. Within the regulatory limits, the AMC may have chosen to invest in unlisted securities as permitted for investment by the scheme. Listed securities which may become unlisted in future may increase the risk in the portfolio.

e. The Scheme may use various derivative products as permitted by the Regulations. Use of derivatives requires an understanding of not only the underlying instrument but also of the derivative itself. Other risks include the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the inability of derivatives to correlate perfectly with underlying assets, rates and indices. Usage of derivatives will expose the Scheme to certain risks inherent to such derivatives.

The repatriation of capital also may be hampered by changes in regulations concerning exchange controls or political circumstances as well as the application to it of other restrictions on investment. f. The scheme intends to deploy funds in money market instruments to maintain liquidity. To the extent that some assets/funds are deployed in money market instruments, the scheme will be subject to credit risk as well as settlement risk, which might affect the liquidity of the scheme

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.

Risk factors of repo market a. Illiquidity Risk The repo market for corporate debt securities is over the counter (OTC) and illiquid. Hence, repo obligations cannot be easily sold to other parties. Therefore, to mitigate such risks, it has been stipulated that gross exposure to Repo in corporate bonds would be limited to 10% of net assets of the concerned scheme. Further, the tenor of repo would be taken based on nature and unit holders’ pattern of the scheme.

b. Counter-party Risk Credit risk would arise if the counter-party fails to repurchase the security as contracted or if counterparty fails to return the security or interest received on due date. To mitigate such risks, the schemes shall carry out repo transactions with only those counter parties, which has a credit rating of ‘A1+’or ‘AA- and above’. In case of lending of funds as a repo buyer, minimum haircuts on the value of the collateral security have been stipulated, and we would receive the collateral security in the scheme’s account before the money is lent to the counter-party. Overall, we would have a limited number of counter-parties, primarily comprising of Mutual Funds, Scheduled Commercial banks, Financial Institutions and Primary dealers.

Similarly, in the event of the scheme being unable to pay back the money to the counter party as contracted, the counter-party may hurriedly dispose of the assets (as they have sufficient margin) and the net proceeds may be refunded to the Scheme. Thus, the Scheme may suffer losses in such cases. Sufficient funds flow management systems are in place to mitigate such risks.

c. Collateral Risk (as a repo buyer) Collateral risks arise due to fall in the value of the security (change in credit rating and/or interest rates) against which the money has been lent under the repo arrangement. To mitigate such risks, we have stipulated the minimum credit rating of the issuer of collateral security (‘AA’ for long-term instruments /A1+ for money market instruments), maximum duration of the collateral security (10 years) and minimum haircuts on the value of the security.

Risk factors associated with investments in REITs and InvITs – The REITs & InvITs distributions will be based on the Net Distributable Cash Flows available for distribution, and not on whether the REITs & InvITs makes an accounting profit or loss. The amount of cash available for distribution principally depends upon the amount of cash that the REIT/InvIT receives as dividends or the interest and principal payments from portfolio assets. The cash flows generated by portfolio assets from operations may fluctuate based on, among other things • Economic cycles and risks inherent in the business which may negatively impact valuations, returns and profitability of portfolio assets • Force majeure events related such as earthquakes, floods etc. rendering the portfolio assets inoperable • Debt service requirements and other liabilities of the portfolio assets • Fluctuations in the working capital needs of the portfolio assets 28SCHEME INFORMATION DOCUMENT (SID) • Ability of portfolio assets to borrow funds and access capital markets • Changes in applicable laws and regulations, which may restrict the payment of dividends by portfolio assets • Amount and timing of capital expenditures on portfolio assets • Insurance policies may not provide adequate protection against various risks associated with operations of the REIT/InvIT such as fire, natural disasters, accidents OPERATIONAL AND RESIDUAL RISKS • REIT & InvITs Assets are subject to various risks that we may not be insured against, adequately or at all, including:

(i) Changes in governmental and regulatory policies;

(ii) Shortages of, or adverse price movement for, materials, equipment and plants;

(iii) Design and engineering defects;

(iv) Breakdown, failure or substandard performance of the underlying assets and other equipments;

(v) Improper installation or operation of the underlying assets and other equipment;

(vi) Terrorism and acts of war;

(vii) Inclement weather and natural disasters;

(viii) Environmental hazards, including earthquakes, flooding, tsunamis and landslide • • Any additional debt financing or issuance of additional Units may have a material, adverse effect on the REITs & InvITs distributions.

• Any future issuance of Units by REITs & InvITs or sales of Units by the Sponsor or any of other significant Unitholders may materially and adversely affect the trading price of the Units. • The Valuation Report, and any underlying reports, and the valuation contained therein may not be indicative of the true value of the Project SPVs' assets.

• Risk related to business or industry sector. • There can be no assurance that REITs & InvITs will be able to successfully undertake future acquisitions.

Market Risk:

REITs and InvITs are volatile and prone to price fluctuations on a daily basis owing to market movements. AMC/Fund Manager’s investment decisions may not always be profitable, as actual market movements may be at variance with the anticipated trends. NAV of the Scheme is vulnerable to movements in the prices of securities invested by the scheme, due to various market related factors like changes in the general market conditions, factors and forces affecting capital market, level of interest rates, trading volumes, settlement periods and transfer procedures.

Liquidity Risk:

As the liquidity of the investments made by the scheme(s) could, at times, be restricted by trading volumes and settlement periods, the time taken by the Mutual Fund for liquidating the investments in the scheme may be high in the event of immediate redemption requirement. Investment in such securities may lead to increase in the scheme portfolio risk. The subsequent valuation of illiquid units may reflect a discount from the market price of comparable securities for which a liquid market exists.

Reinvestment Risk:

Investments in REITs & InvITs may carry reinvestment risk as there could be repatriation of funds by the Trusts in form of buyback of units or dividend pay-outs, etc. Consequently, the proceeds may get invested in assets providing lower returns.

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.

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 prescheduled.

Risk Factors associated with Investments in Other Commodities: • Commodity risks: The Scheme may invest in commodities markets and may therefore have investment exposure to the commodities markets and one or more sectors of the commodities markets, which may subject the Scheme to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds. Volatility in the commodities markets may be caused by changes in overall market movements, domestic and foreign political and economic events and policies, war, acts of terrorism, changes in domestic or foreign interest rates and/or investor expectations concerning interest rates, domestic and foreign inflation rates, investment and trading activities of mutual funds, hedge funds and commodities funds, and factors such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and other regulatory developments, or supply and demand disruptions. Because the Scheme’s performance is linked to the performance of volatile commodities, investors should be willing to assume the risks of potentially significant fluctuations in the value of the Scheme’s shares.

• Systemic risks which may be witnessed while trading in Indian Commodities Market are Liquidity risk, Price risk in terms of volatility, Exchange Risk and counterparty risks.

Risk Factors Associated with Investments in Exchange Traded Commodity Derivatives (ETCDs)

(1). An exchange traded commodity derivative (ETCDs) is a derivative instrument that replicates the price movements of an underlying commodity, allowing exposure to the commodity without physical purchase.

(2). The AMC, on behalf of the Scheme may use ETCDs from time to time, in an attempt to protect the value of the portfolio and / or enhance unit holders' interest. Investors should understand that ETCDs are specialized instruments that require investment techniques and risk analysis different from those associated with stocks and bonds. The use of a ETCDs requires an understanding not only of the underlying commodity but of the ETCD itself. Other risks include but are not limited to the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the inability of ETCDs to correlate perfectly with underlying commodity, rates and indices. There may be a cost attached to selling or buying ETCDs. Further there could be an element of settlement risk, which could be different from the risk in settling physical commodity.

The possible lack of a liquid secondary market for a ETCDs may result in inability to close ETCDs prior to their maturity date.

(3). ETCDs 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 29the strategies to be pursued by the fund manager involve uncertainty and decision of fund manager may not always be profitable.

(4). 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 ETCDs are different from or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in commodity and other traditional investments.

(5). The ETCDs will entail a counter-party risk to the extent of amount that can become due from the party.

(6). An exposure to ETCDs can also limit the profits from a genuine investment transaction.

(7). Efficiency of a ETCDs market depends on the development of a liquid and efficient market for underlying commodity and also on the suitable and acceptable benchmarks.

(8). The risks associated with the use of ETCDs are different from or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in commodity Risk associated with Securitized Debt A securitization transaction involves sale of receivables by the originator (a bank, non-banking finance company, housing finance company, microfinance companies 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 securitization 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 • Microfinance receivables

In pursuance to SEBI communication dated: August 25, 2010, given below are the requisite details relating to investments in Securitized debt. Risk profile of securitized debt vis-à-vis risk appetite of the scheme Securitized debt instruments are relatively illiquid in the secondary market and hence they are generally held to maturity which would match with the long-term investment horizon of these investors.

Investment in these instruments will help the Scheme in aiming at reasonable returns. These returns come with a certain degree of risks which are covered separately in the Scheme Information Document. Policy relating to originators based on nature of originator, track record, NPAs, losses in earlier securitized debt, etc Risk mitigation strategies for investments with each kind of originator For a complete understanding of the policy relating to selection of originators, the AMC has first analysed below risks attached to a securitization transaction.

In terms of specific risks attached to securitization, each asset class would have different underlying risks, however, residential mortgages are supposed to be having lower default rates as an asset class. On the other hand, repossession and subsequent recovery of commercial vehicles and other auto assets is fairly easier and better compared to mortgages. Some of the asset classes such as personal loans, credit card receivables etc., being unsecured credits in nature, may witness higher default rates. As regards corporate loans/receivables, depending upon the nature of the underlying security for the loan or the nature of the receivable the risks would correspondingly fluctuate.

However, the credit enhancement stipulated by rating agencies for such asset class pools is typically much higher, which helps in making their overall risks comparable to other AAA/AA rated asset classes.

The Scheme may invest in securitized debt assets. These assets would be in the nature of Asset Backed Securities (ABS) and Mortgage- Backed Securities (MBS) with underlying pool of assets and receivables like housing loans, auto loans and single corporate loan originators.

The Scheme intends to invest in securitized instruments rated AAA/AA by a SEBI recognized credit rating agency.

Before entering into any securitization transaction, the risk is assessed based on the information generated from the following sources:

(1) Rating provided by the rating agency

(2) Assessment by the AMC

(1) Assessment by a Rating Agency In its endeavor to assess the fundamental uncertainties in any securitization transaction, a credit rating

agency normally takes into consideration following factors:

Credit Risk: Credit risk forms a vital element in the analysis of securitization transaction. Adequate credit enhancements to cover defaults, even under stress scenarios, mitigate this risk. This is done by evaluating following risks:

• Asset risk • Originator risk • Portfolio risk • Pool risks The quality of the pool is a crucial element in assessing credit risk. In the Indian context, generally, pools are ‘cherry-picked’ using positive selection criteria. To protect the investor from adverse selection of pool contracts, the rating agencies normally take into consideration pool characteristics such as pool seasoning (seasoning represents the number of installments paid by borrower till date: higher seasoning represents better quality), over dues at the time of selection and Loan to Value (LTV). To assess its risk profile vis-à-vis the overall portfolio, the pool is analyzed with regard to geographical location, borrower profile, LTV, and tenure.

Counterparty Risk There are several counterparties in a securitization transaction, and their performance is crucial. Unlike in the case of credit risks, where the risks emanate from a diversified pool of retail assets, counterparty risks result in either performance or non-performance. The rating agencies generally mitigate such risks through the usage of stringent counterparty selection and replacement criteria to reduce the risk of failure. The risks assessed under this category include:

• Servicer risk • Commingling risk • Miscellaneous other counterparty risks 30SCHEME INFORMATION DOCUMENT (SID) Legal Risks The rating agency normally conducts a detailed study of the legal documents to ensure that the investors' interest is not compromised, and relevant protection and safeguards are built into the transaction.

Market Risk Market risks represent risks not directly related to the transaction, but other market related factors, stated below, which could have an impact on transaction performance, or the value of the investments to the investors.

• Macro-economic risks • Prepayment risks • Interest rate risks

Other Risks associated with investment in securitized debt and mitigation measures:

Limited Liquidity and 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.

Risk Mitigation: Securitized debt instruments are relatively illiquid in the secondary market and hence they are generally held to maturity.

The liquidity risk and HTM nature is taken into consideration at the time of analyzing the appropriateness of the securitization. Please refer Liquidity Risk Framework and Stress testing under Risk mitigation section for additional risk mitigation.

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 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 realize 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.

Risk Mitigation: In addition to careful scrutiny of credit profile of borrower/pool, additional security in the form of adequate cash collaterals and other securities may be obtained to ensure that they all qualify for similar rating.

Risks due to possible prepayments: Weighted Tenor / Yield Asset securitization is a process whereby commercial or consumer credits are packaged and sold in the form of financial instruments. Full prepayment of underlying loan contract may arise under any of the following circumstances;

• Obligor pays the Receivable due from him at any time prior to the scheduled maturity date of that Receivable; or • Receivable is required to be repurchased by the Seller consequent to its inability to rectify a material misrepresentation with respect to that Receivable; or • The Servicer recognizing a contract as a defaulted contract and hence repossessing the underlying Asset and selling the same • In the event of prepayments, investors may be exposed to changes in tenor and yield.

Risk Mitigation: A certain amount of prepayments is assumed in the calculations at the time of purchase based on historical trends and estimates. Further a stress case estimate is calculated and additional margins are built in.

Bankruptcy of the Originator or Seller If originator becomes subject to bankruptcy proceedings and the court in the bankruptcy proceedings concludes that the sale from originator to Trust was not a sale, then an Investor could experience losses or delays in the payments due. All possible care is generally taken in structuring the transaction so as to minimize the risk of the sale to Trust not being construed as a “True Sale”. Legal opinion is normally obtained to the effect that the assignment of Receivables to Trust in trust for and for the benefit of the Investors, as envisaged herein, would constitute a true sale

Risk Mitigation: Normally, specific care is taken in structuring the securitization transaction so as to minimize the risk of the sale to the trust not being construed as a 'true sale'. It is also in the interest of the originator to demonstrate the transaction as a true sell to get the necessary revenue recognition and tax benefits.

Bankruptcy of the Investor’s Agent If Investor’s agent becomes subject to bankruptcy proceedings and the court in the bankruptcy proceedings concludes that the recourse of Investor’s Agent to the assets/receivables is not in its capacity as agent/Trustee but in its personal capacity, then an Investor could experience losses or delays in the payments due under the swap agreement. All possible care is normally taken in structuring the transaction and drafting the underlying documents so as to provide that the assets/receivables if and when held by Investor’s Agent is held as agent and in Trust for the Investors and shall not form part of the personal assets of Investor’s Agent. Legal opinion is normally obtained to the effect that the Investors Agent’s recourse to assets/receivables is restricted in its capacity as agent and trustee and not in its personal capacity.

Risk Mitigation: All possible care is normally taken in structuring the transaction and drafting the underlying documents so as to provide that the assets/receivables if and when held by Investor’s Agent is held as agent and in Trust for the Investors and shall not form part of the personal assets of Investor’s Agent.

Credit Rating of the Transaction / Certificate:

31The credit rating is not a recommendation to purchase, hold or sell the Certificate in as much as the ratings do not comment on the market price of the Certificate or its suitability to a particular investor. There is no assurance by the rating agency either that the rating will remain at the same level for any given period of time or that the rating will not be lowered or withdrawn entirely by the rating agency.

Risk of Co-mingling With 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.

(2) Assessment by the AMC Mapping of structures based on underlying assets and perceived risk profile The scheme may invest in securitized debt originated by Banks, NBFCs and other issuers.

The AMC may evaluate following factors, while investing in securitized debt: · Originator Acceptance Evaluation Parameters (For Pool Loan and Single Loan Securitization Transactions) · Track record The AMC ensures that there is adequate past track record of the Originator before selection of the pool including a detailed look at the number of issuances in past, track record of issuances, experience of issuance team, etc.

Willingness to pay As the securitized structure has underlying collateral structure, depending on the asset class, historical NPA trend and other pool / loan characteristics, a credit enhancement in the form of cash collateral, such as fixed deposit, bank, guarantee etc. is obtained, as a risk mitigation measure. · Ability to pay This assessment is based on a strategic framework for credit analysis, which entails a detailed financial risk assessment. Management analysis is used for identifying company specific financial risks. One of the most important factors for assessment is the quality of management based on its past track record and feedback from market participants. In order to assess financial risk a broad assessment of the issuer’s financial statements is undertaken to review its ability to undergo stress on cash flows and asset quality. Business risk assessment, wherein following factors may be 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 including interactions with the company as well as agency.

Critical Evaluation Parameters (For Pool Loan and Single Loan Securitization Transactions) Typically, the AMC would avoid investing in securitization transaction (without specific risk mitigant strategies / additional cash/security collaterals/ guarantees) if there are concerns on the following issues regarding the originator / underlying issuer:

· High default track record/ frequent alteration of redemption conditions / covenants · High leverage ratios – both on a standalone basis as well on a consolidated level/ group level · Higher proportion of re-schedulement of underlying assets of the pool or loan, as the case may be · Higher proportion of overdue assets of the pool or the underlying loan, as the case may be · Poor reputation in market · Insufficient track record of servicing of the pool or the loan, as the case may be Advantages of Investments in Single Loan Securitized Debt ·Wider Coverage: A Single Loan Securitized Debt market offers a more diverse range of issues / exposures as the Banks / NBFCs lend to larger base of borrowers.

·Credit Assessment: Better credit assessment of the underlying exposure as the Banks / NBFCs ideally co-invest in the same structure or take some other exposure on the same borrower in some other form.

·Better Structuring: Single Loan Securitized Debt investments facilitates better structuring than investments in plain vanilla debt instruments as it is governed by Securitization guidelines issued by RBI.

·Better Legal documentation: Single Loan Securitized Debt structures involve better legal documentation than Non-Convertible Debenture

(NCD) investments. ·End use of funds: Securitized debt has better standards of disclosures as well as limitation on end use of funds as compared to NCD investments wherein the end use is general corporate purpose.

·Yield enhancer: Single Loan Securitized Debt investments give higher returns as compared to NCD investments in same corporate exposure. ·Regulator supervision: Macro level supervision from RBI in Securitization Investments as compared to NCD investments.

·Tighter covenants: Single Loan Securitized Debt structures involve tighter financial covenants than NCD investments.

Disadvantages of Investments in Single Loan Securitized Debt ·Liquidity risk: Investments in Single Loan Securitized Debts have relatively less liquidity as compared to investments in NCDs ·Co-mingling risk: Servicers in a securitization transaction normally deposit all payments received from the obligors into a collection account. However, there could be a time gap between collection by a servicer and depositing the same into the collection account. In this interim period, collections from the loan agreements by the servicer may not be segregated from other funds of the servicer. If the servicer fails to remit such funds due to investors, investors in the Scheme may be exposed to a potential loss.

Size of the Loan 32SCHEME INFORMATION DOCUMENT (SID) The AMC generally analyses the size of each loan on a sample basis and analyze a static pool of the originator to ensure the same matches the Static pool characteristics. Also indicates whether there is excessive reliance on very small ticket size, which may result in difficult and costly recoveries. To illustrate, the ticket size of housing loans is generally higher than that of personal loans. Hence in the construction of a housing loan asset pool for say Rs.1,00,00,000/- it may be easier to construct a pool with just 10 housing loans of Rs.10,00,000 each rather than to construct a pool of personal loans as the ticket size of personal loans may rarely exceed Rs.5,00,000/- per individual. Also to amplify this illustration further, if one were to construct a pool of Rs.1,00,00,000/-consisting of personal loans of Rs.1,00,000/- each, the larger number of contracts (100 as against one of 10 housing loans of Rs.10 lakh each) automatically diversifies the risk profile of the pool as compared to a housing loan based asset pool.

Average Original Maturity of the Pool Indicates the original repayment period and whether the loan tenors are in line with industry averages and borrower’s repayment capacity.

To illustrate, in a car pool consisting of 60 - month contracts, the original maturity and the residual maturity of the pool viz. number of remaining installments to be paid gives a better idea of the risk of default of the pool itself. If in a pool of 100 car loans having original maturity of 60 months, if more than 70% of the contracts have paid more than 50% of the installments and if no default has been observed in such contracts, this is a far superior portfolio than a similar car loan pool where 80% of the contracts have not even crossed 5 installments.

Geographical Distribution Regional/state/ branch distribution is preferred to avoid concentration of assets in a particular region/state/branch.

Loan to Value Ratio Indicates how much % value of the asset is financed by borrower’s own equity. The lower LTV, the better it is. This Ratio stems from the principle that where the borrowers own contribution of the asset cost is high, the chances of default are lower. To illustrate for a Truck costing Rs.20 lakhs, if the borrower has himself contributed Rs.10 lakh and has taken only Rs.10 lakh as a loan, he is going to have lesser propensity to default as he would lose an asset worth Rs.20 lakhs if he defaults in repaying an installment. This is as against a borrower who may meet only Rs.2 lakh out of his own equity for a truck costing Rs.20 lakh.

Between the two scenarios given above, the latter would have higher risk of default than the former.

Average seasoning of the pool Indicates whether borrowers have already displayed repayment discipline. To illustrate, in the case of a personal loan, if a pool of assets consist of those who have already repaid 80% of the installments without default, this certainly is a superior asset pool than one where only 10% of installments have been paid. In the former case, the portfolio has already demonstrated that the repayment discipline is far higher.

Risk Tranching Typically, the AMC may avoid investing in mezzanine debt or equity of Securitized debt in the form of subordinate tranche, without specific risk mitigant strategies / additional cash / security collaterals/ guarantees, etc.

The mechanism to tackle conflict of interest when the mutual fund invests in securitized debt of an originator and the originator in turn makes investments in that particular scheme of the fund Investments made by the scheme in any asset are done based on the requirements of the scheme and are in accordance with the investment policy.

All Investments are made entirely at an arm's length basis with no consideration of any existing / consequent investments by any party related to the transaction (originator, issuer, borrower etc.). Investments made in Securitized debt are made as per the Investment pattern of the Scheme and are done after detailed analysis of the underlying asset. There might be instances of Originator investing in the same scheme but both the transactions are at arm's length and avoid any conflict of interest.

In general, the resources and mechanism of individual risk assessment with the AMC for monitoring investment in securitized debt.

The risk assessment process for securitized debt, as detailed in the preceding paragraphs, is similar to any other credit. The investments in securitized debt are done after appropriate research. The ratings are monitored for any movement.

Note: The information contained herein is based on current market conditions and may change from time to time based on changes in such conditions, regulatory changes and other relevant factors. Accordingly, our investment strategy, risk mitigation measures and other information contained herein may change in response to the same.

Risk Associated with investment in Instruments having Special Features Credit Risk / Principal at Risk: Instruments such as AT1 and AT2 bonds are unsecured and subordinated. The issuer has the option to write off the principal in times of severe financial stress. Investors have no recourse or only limited recourse to recover their investment if the principal is written off. These bonds may also be converted into equity upon the occurrence of certain pre- defined trigger events. The Central Bank may instruct the issuer to write down the entire value of outstanding AT1 or AT2 bonds if it determines that the bank has reached the Point of Non-Viability (PONV) or requires capital infusion to remain a going concern.

Additionally, interest payments—especially on AT1 bonds—may be skipped under certain conditions and are non-cumulative, meaning they cannot be recovered later.

Interest Rate Risk: Instruments without a defined maturity may yield lower returns in a rising interest rate environment, leading to opportunity loss.

Liquidity Risk: There is no assurance that the bondholder will receive the principal on the call date, as the issuer may choose to extend the bond’s tenure. While these bonds can be sold in the secondary market, they may trade at a discount to the purchase price. Moreover, some of these bonds are thinly traded, making it difficult to find buyers.

Risk associated with Securities Lending As with other modes of extensions of credit, there are risks inherent to securities lending, including the risk of failure of the other party, in this case the approved intermediary, to comply with the terms of the agreement entered into between the lender of securities i.e. the Scheme and the approved intermediary. Such failure can result in the possible loss of rights to the collateral put up by the borrower of the securities, the inability of the approved intermediary to return the securities deposited by the lender and the possible loss of any corporate benefits accruing to the lender from the securities deposited with the approved intermediary. The scheme may not be able to sell lent out securities, which can lead to temporary illiquidity & loss of opportunity.

Risk factors associated with investing in Derivatives 33• The AMC, on behalf of the Scheme may use various derivative products, from time to time, in an attempt to protect the value of the portfolio and enhance Unit holders' interest. Derivative products are specialized instruments that require investment techniques and risk analysis 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. Other risks include, the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the inability of derivatives to correlate perfectly with underlying assets, rates and indices.

• 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. • Credit Risk: The credit risk in derivative transaction is the risk that the counter party will default on its obligations and is generally low, as there is no exchange of principal amounts in a derivative transaction.

• Market Risk: Market movements may adversely affect the pricing and settlement of derivatives.

Illiquidity risk: This is the risk that a derivative cannot be sold or purchased quickly enough at a fair price, due to lack of liquidity in the market.

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.

34SCHEME INFORMATION DOCUMENT (SID) B. RISK MITIGATION STRATEGIES Con. Std. Obs. 9 Investments in equity, 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 & Des cription specific to the Scheme Risk mitigants / management strategy Market risk Endeavour to have a well diversified portfolio of good companies with the ability to use cash/derivatives for hedging Risk arising due to vulnerability to price fluctuations and volatility, having material impact on the overall returns of the scheme Derivatives risk Continuous monitoring of the derivatives positions and strictly adheres to the regulations and internal norms. Exposure with respect Various inherent risks arising as a consequence of investing in to derivatives shall be in line with regulatory limits and the limits derivatives.

specified in the SID Credit risk Investment universe carefully selected to only include issuers with high credit quality Understand the working of the markets and respond Risk associated with repayment of investment Performance risk Risk effectively to market movements arising due to change in factors affecting the market Concentration risk Invest across the spectrum of issuers and keeping flexibility to invest across tenor Risk arising due to over exposure in few securities Liquidity risk Control portfolio liquidity at portfolio construction stage. Having optimum mix of cash & cash equivalents along with the debt papers in Risk arising due to inefficient Asset Liability Management, resulting in the portfolio high impact costs Interest rate risk Control the portfolio duration and periodically evaluate the portfolio structure with respect to existing interest rate scenario Price volatility due to movement in interest rates Event risk Understand businesses to respond effectively and speedily to events.

Usage of derivatives: Hedge portfolios, if required, in case of Price risk due to company or sector specific event 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 scheme may use various derivative products as permitted by the Regulations. Participating in derivatives is a highly specialized activity and entails greater than ordinary investment risks. Primarily, derivatives including Interest Rate Futures would be used for purpose of hedging and portfolio balancing.

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.

Exposure limits as per provision no. 12.24.1 and 12.25.1 to 12.25.7 of para 12.24 and 12.25 under Chapter 12 of SEBI Master Circular for Mutual

Funds: a. The cumulative gross exposure through equity, debt, derivative positions (including commodity and fixed income derivatives), repo transactions and credit default swaps in corporate debt securities, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), Infrastructure Investment Trusts

(InvITs), and such other securities/assets as may be permitted by the SEBI from time to time should not exceed 100% of the net assets

of the scheme: b. Mutual Funds shall not write options or purchase instruments with embedded written options. c. The total exposure related to option premium paid must not exceed 20% of the net assets of the scheme.

d. Cash or cash equivalents with residual maturity of less than 91 days may be treated as not creating any exposure. e. Exposure due to hedging positions may not be included in the above-mentioned limits subject to the following:-

(i) Hedging positions are the derivative positions that reduce possible losses on an existing position in securities and till the existing position remains.

(ii) Hedging positions cannot be taken for existing derivative positions. Exposure due to such positions shall have to be added and treated under limits mentioned in Point a.

(iii) Any derivative instrument used to hedge has the same underlying security as the existing position being hedged.

(iv) The quantity of underlying associated with the derivative position taken for hedging purposes does not exceed the quantity of the existing position against which hedge has been taken. f. Mutual Funds may enter into plain vanilla interest rate swaps for hedging purposes. The counter party in such transactions has to be an entity recognized as a market maker by RBI. Further, the value of the notional principal in such cases must not exceed the value of respective existing assets being hedged by the scheme. Exposure to a single counterparty in such transactions should not exceed 10% of the net assets of the scheme.

g. Exposure due to derivative positions taken for hedging purposes in excess of the underlying position against which the hedging position has been taken, shall be treated under the limits mentioned in point a.

35II. INFORMATION ABOUT THE SCHEME:

A. WHERE WILL THE SCHEME INVEST? Con. Std. Obs. 29 The corpus of the Scheme will be predominantly invested in Equity & Equity Related Instruments of companies across market capitalization, Debt and Money Market Instruments and other permitted securities.

The instruments listed below could be listed, unlisted, privately placed, secured, unsecured, rated or unrated acquired through primary or secondary market through stock exchanges, over the counter or any other dealing mechanisms. Coupon bearing (fixed or floating), zero coupon discounted instruments or any other type. Weights in the portfolio may not have any correlation to the order of listing.

Subject to the regulations and prevailing laws as applicable, the portfolio will consist of permissible instruments, most suitable to meet the investment objectives The following investment categories are likely to cover most of the available investment universe.

Subject to the Regulations, the corpus of the Scheme can be invested in any (but not exclusively) of the following securities as permitted by SEBI/ RBI from time to time:

Equity and Equity Related Instruments including Warrants and Convertible Instruments:

Equity share - Equity Share is a security that represents ownership interest in a company. It is issued to those who have contributed capital in setting up an enterprise.

Equity Related Instruments - These are securities which give the holder of the security right to receive equity shares on pre agreed terms. It includes convertible debentures, convertible preference shares, warrants carrying the right to obtain equity shares, equity derivatives and such other instruments as may be specified by SEBI from time to time.

Equity Derivatives including Index/Stock Futures & Options - Equity derivatives are financial instruments, generally traded on an exchange, the price of which is directly dependent upon (i.e. “derived from”) the value of equity shares or equity indices. Derivatives involve the trading of rights or obligations based on the underlying, but do not directly transfer property.

Futures - Futures are exchange-traded contracts to sell or buy financial instruments for future delivery at an agreed price. There is an agreement to buy or sell a specified quantity of financial instrument on a designated future date at a price agreed upon by the buyer and seller at the time of entering into a contract. To make trading possible, the exchange specifies certain standardized features of the contract. A futures contract involves an obligation on both the parties to fulfill the terms of the contract.

SEBI has permitted futures contracts on indices and individual stocks with maturity of 1 month, 2 months and 3 months on a rolling basis.

The futures contracts are settled on last Thursday (or immediately preceding trading day if Thursday is a trading holiday) of each month. The final settlement price is the closing price of the underlying stock(s)/index. However, pursuant to SEBI Circular No. SEBI/HO/MRD/DOPI/ CIR/P/2018/161 dated December 31, 2018, stock derivatives are physically settled.

Option - Option is a contract which provides the buyer of the option (also called holder) the right, without the obligation, to buy or sell a specified asset at the agreed price on or upto a particular date. For acquiring this privilege, the buyer pays a premium (fee) to the seller. The seller on the other hand has the obligation to buy or sell specified asset at the agreed price and for this obligation he receives a premium.

The premium is determined by considering number of factors such as the market price of the underlying asset/security, number of days to expiry, risk free rate of return, strike price of the option and the volatility of the underlying asset. Option contracts are of two types viz:

Call Option - The option that gives the buyer the right to buy a specified quantity of the underlying asset at the strike price is a call option.

The buyer of the call option (known as the holder of call option) can call upon the seller of the option (writer of the option) and buy from him the underlying asset at the agreed price at any time on or before the expiry of the option. The seller (writer of the option) on the other hand has the obligation to sell the underlying asset if the buyer of the call option decides to exercise his option to buy.

Put Option - The right to sell is called put option. A Put option gives the holder (buyer) the right to sell specified quantity of the underlying asset at the strike price. The seller of the put option (one who is short Put) however, has the obligation to buy the underlying asset at the strike price if the buyer decides to exercise his option to sell. There are two kinds of options based on the date of exercise of right. The first is the European Option which can be exercised only on the maturity date. The second is the American Option which can be exercised on or before the maturity date.

Example on options: Buying a Call Option: Assume that the Scheme buys a call option at the strike price of Rs. 2,000 and pays a premium of Rs. 100. If the market price of the underlying stock is Rs. 1,900, the Scheme will not exercise the option and it shall lose the premium of Rs.

100. Thus, in the above example, the loss for the Scheme, as the buyer of the option, is limited to the premium paid by him while the gains are unlimited.

Buying a Put Option: Assume that the Scheme buys a put option at the strike price of Rs. 2,000 and pays a premium of Rs. 100.If the market price of the underlying stock decreases to Rs. 1,850 the Scheme would be protected from the downside and would be able to gain Rs. 50 (Strike Price – Spot Price of underlying – Premium paid) whereas if the stock price moves up to say Rs. 2,150 the Scheme may let the option expire and forego the premium of Rs. 100.

Writing a Call Option: Assume that the Scheme writes a call option at the strike price of Rs. 2,050 and earns a premium of Rs.100. If the market price of the underlying stock on the date of expiry increases to Rs. 2,200 (i.e. more than Rs. 2,050) then the option is exercised. The Scheme earns the premium of Rs. 100 but loses the difference between the market price and the exercise price i.e. Rs. 150. In case the market price of the underlying stock decreases to Rs. 2,000, the Scheme gets to keep the premium of Rs. 100.

Writing a Put Option: Assume that the Scheme writes a put option at the strike price of Rs. 2,050 and earns a premium of Rs. 50. If the market value of the underlying stock decreases to Rs. 2,000 the put option will be exercised and the Scheme will earn the premium of Rs. 50 but loses the difference between the exercise price and the market price which is Rs. 50. However, if the market price of the underlying stock is Rs.

2,100, the option-holder will not exercise the option. As a result of which the option will expire and the Scheme will earn the premium income of Rs. 50.

The option premium received shall be the part of covered call strategy and shall be invested in Debt and once the contract expires it shall get adjusted in NAV of the scheme.

Exposure on account of call option written under the covered call strategy:

The Scheme will write call options only under a covered call strategy for constituent stocks of NIFTY 50 and BSE SENSEX subject to the

following: a) The total notional value (taking into account strike price as well as premium value) of call options written shall not exceed 15% of the total 36SCHEME INFORMATION DOCUMENT (SID) market value of the underlying equity shares held at all points in time. In case of any passive breach, the Scheme shall have 7 trading days to rebalance the portfolio. During the rebalancing period, no additional call options will can be written in the Schemes.

b) The total number of shares underlying the call options written shall not exceed 30% of the unencumbered shares of the particular company held in the Scheme at all points in time. The unencumbered shares in a scheme shall mean shares that are not part of Securities Lending and Borrowing Mechanism (SLBM), margin or any other kind of encumbrances.

c) In case the Scheme needs to sell securities on which a call option is written under a covered call strategy, it must ensure compliance with

(a) and (b) above while selling the securities d) The Scheme shall not write a call option without holding the underlying equity shares. A call option can be written only on shares which are not hedged using other derivative contracts.

e) The total gross exposure related to option premium paid and received will not exceed 20% of the net assets of the Schemes.

In case of any passive breach of the requirement at Paragraph (a), the respective scheme shall have 7 trading days to rebalance the portfolio.

During the rebalancing period, no additional call options can be written in the said scheme

Such contracts generally involve exchange of a “fixed to floating” or “floating to fixed rate” of interest. Accordingly, on each payment date that occurs during the swap period, cash payments based on fixed/ floating and floating rates are made by the parties to one another.

b) Forward Rate Agreement - A Forward Rate Agreement (FRA) is a financial contract between two parties to exchange interest payments for a ‘notional principal’ amount on settlement date, for a specified period from start date to maturity date. Accordingly, on the settlement date, cash payments based on contract (fixed) and the settlement rate, are made by the parties to one another.

The settlement rate is the agreed benchmark/ reference rate prevailing on the settlement date. c) Interest Rate Futures - A futures contract is a standardized, legally binding agreement to buy or sell a commodity or a financial instrument in a designated future month at a market determined price (the futures price) by the buyer and seller. The contracts are traded on a futures exchange. An Interest Rate Future is a futures contract with an interest bearing instrument as the underlying asset.

Characteristics of Interest Rate Futures ● Obligation to buy or sell a bond at a future date. ● Standardized contract. ● Exchange traded. ● Physical/ Cash settlement. ● Daily mark to market.

Example: An investor invests on April 1, 2024, when the applicable exit load for the scheme was 2% if redeemed within 1-year, else nil.

Scenario 1) In case investor redeems before April 1, 2025, then applicable exit load would be 2%. Now suppose the same investor decides to redeem his 1000 units. The prevailing NAV is Rs 25/-.

Hence, the sale or redemption price per unit becomes Rs. 24.50/- i.e., 25*(1-2%). The investor therefore gets 1000 x 24.50 = Rs. 24,500/-.

Scenario 2) In case investor redeems on or after April 1, 2025, then applicable exit load would be nil.

Now suppose the same investor decides to redeem his 1000 units. The prevailing NAV is Rs 30/-.

Hence, the sale or redemption price per unit will be Rs. 30/- i.e., 30*(1- 0). The investor therefore gets 1000 x 30 = Rs. 30,000/-.

In case the Scheme does not have a minimum of 20 investors in the stipulated period, the provisions of Regulation 39(2)(c) of the SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996, would become applicable automatically without any reference from SEBI and accordingly the Scheme shall be wound up and the units would be redeemed at applicable NAV. If there is a breach of the 25% limit by any investor over the quarter, a rebalancing period of one month would be allowed and thereafter the investor who is in breach of the rule shall be given 15 days’ notice to redeem his exposure over the 25% limit. Failure on the part of the said investor to redeem his exposure over the 25% limit within the aforesaid 15 days would lead to automatic redemption by the Mutual Fund at the applicable Net Asset Value on the 15th day of the notice period.
