At all times the portfolio will adhere to the overall investment objective of the scheme. Change in Investment Pattern 18The Scheme may review the above pattern of investments based on views on markets, interest rates and asset liability management needs. However, at all times the portfolio will adhere to the overall investment objectives of the Scheme. Subject to the Regulations, the asset allocation pattern indicated above may change from time to time, keeping in view market conditions, market opportunities, applicable regulations, legislative amendments and political and economic factors. It must be clearly understood that the percentages stated above are only indicative and not absolute. These proportions can vary substantially depending upon the perception of the fund manager; the intention being at all times to seek to protect the interests of the Unit holders. Such changes in the investment pattern will be in accordance with clause 1.14.1.2 of SEBI Master Circular for Mutual Funds dated June 27, 2024, as amended from time to time, for short term and for defensive considerations only. In case of any deviation from the asset allocation, under both normal & defensive circumstances the portfolio will be rebalanced within 30 days. Rebalancing period in case of passive breaches As per Clause 2.9 of SEBI Master Circular for Mutual Funds dated June 27, 2024, as may be amended from time to time, in the event of deviation from mandated asset allocation due to passive breaches (occurrence of instances not arising out of omission and commission of the AMC), the Fund Manager shall rebalance the portfolio of the Scheme within 30 Business Days. In case the portfolio of the Scheme is not rebalanced within the period of 30 Business Days, justification in writing, including details of efforts taken to rebalance the portfolio shall be placed before the Investment Committee of the AMC. The Investment Committee, if it so desires, can extend the timeline for rebalancing up to sixty (60) Business Days from the date of completion of mandated rebalancing period. The AMC shall comply with the requirements prescribed under aforementioned clause of SEBI Master Circular dated June 27, 2024, as amended from time to time. B. WHERE WILL THE SCHEME INVEST? The corpus of the Scheme will be invested including but not be limited to the following: • Existing or prospective schemes of Union Mutual Fund / third party domestic mutual funds that invests in equity and equity related instruments, debt &money market instruments etc. depending upon the asset allocation pattern, investment objective and risk profile of the respective Schemes. • Money Market Instruments. • Cash or cash equivalents with residual maturity of less than 91 days will not be treated as creating any exposure • Any other instruments as may be permitted by SEBI from time to time. Detailed definitions and applicable regulations/ guidelines for each instrument are included in Section II. C. WHAT ARE THE INVESTMENT STRATEGIES? To achieve the investment objective, the Scheme shall follow an active investment strategy and will make investments as per the asset allocation pattern of the Scheme. The scheme will invest predominately (atleast 90%) in Equity Funds which are based on varied market caps and which in the opinion of the Fund Manager offer superior risk reward payoff. 19To pursue its investment objective, the Fund Manager has the discretion to invest in various Equity funds, across market capitalisation. Similarly, investment in Debt funds will be guided by credit quality of the portfolio, liquidity, interest rates and the debt market outlook. The investment team shall scan the market for fund opportunities offered by third party domestic mutual funds on their merits, in addition to funds offered by Union Mutual Fund. While investing in such third party domestic mutual fund schemes or prospective schemes of Union Mutual Fund, it shall be ensured that the investment objective, asset allocation pattern and risk profile of such underlying schemes are in line with the investment objective, asset allocation pattern and risk profile of the Scheme. All new inflows will be invested as per the asset allocation pattern indicated in this SID. It is the intention of the Fund Manager to stay fully invested in the underlying mutual fund schemes. The Scheme may invest in such open ended schemes offered by the Mutual Fund from time to time subject to the above asset allocation of the Scheme. However, the Fund Manager reserves the right to maintain adequate cash balance to meet the requirements of redemptions. 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. Further the trading opportunities could be exploited by the fund manager to optimise returns for the scheme, which could result in increase in portfolio turnover. The Fund manager would also be required to rebalance the portfolio in line with the asset allocation and the investment objectives. The portfolio will be managed taking into account the associated risks perceived/expected so as to minimise risks by using appropriate risk management techniques. All of these could result in increase in portfolio turnover. There may be an increase in transaction cost such as brokerage paid, if trading is done frequently. However, the cost would be negligible as compared to the total expenses of the Scheme. Frequent trading may increase the profits which could offset the increase in costs. The Fund Manager will endeavour to optimise portfolio turnover to maximise gains and minimise risks keeping in mind the costs 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. RISK CONTROL: The asset allocation of the Scheme will be steadily monitored and it shall be ensured that investments are made in accordance with the scheme objective and within the regulatory and internal investment restrictions prescribed from time to time. A detailed process has been designed to identify, measure, monitor and manage portfolio risk. The aim is to have a structured mechanism towards risk management thereby maximising potential opportunities and minimising the adverse effects of risk. Effective risk management is crucial for achieving optimum results. Adequate safeguards would be incorporated in the portfolio management process. The main instrument for reducing risk is through diversification across sectors/companies/ securities. The front office system of the AMC has the capability of pre- investment monitoring of investment restrictions as per SEBI guidelines and various internal limits prescribed from time to time to facilitate pre-emptive monitoring. The Risks and the corresponding risk mitigation strategies are provided under Section II. 20D. HOW WILL THE SCHEME BENCHMARK ITS PERFORMANCE? The performance of the Scheme will be benchmarked with BSE 500 Index (TRI)$. The said Benchmark is as per AMFI Tier I Benchmark and as per clause 1.9.2 of SEBI Master Circular for Mutual Funds covering benchmark guiding principles for Fund of Fund Schemes. The performance of the Scheme will be benchmarked to the Total Return variant of the Index (TRI). $BSE Benchmark Disclaimer: The "Index" viz. ““BSE 500 Index”, is a product of Asia Index Private Limited (AIPL), a wholly owned subsidiary of BSE Limited (“BSE”), and has been licensed for use by Union Asset Management Company Private Limited.

COMPUTATION OF NAV The Net Asset Value (NAV) per unit will be computed by dividing the net assets of the Scheme/Plan/Option by the number of units outstanding under the Scheme/Plan/Option on the valuation date. The Fund will value its investments according to the valuation norms, as per the AMC’s valuation policy and as specified in Eighth Schedule of the SEBI (MF) Regulations, or such norms as may be specified by SEBI from time to time. 23The Net Assets Value (NAV) per unit under the Scheme/Plan/Option shall be calculated as follows: NAV (Rs.) = Market or Fair Current Assets Current Liabilities Value of Scheme’s + including accrued - and Provisions including investments income accrued expenses ________________________________________________________________ No. of Units outstanding under Scheme/Plan/Option The numerical illustration of the above method is provided below: Market or Fair Value of Scheme’s investments (Rs.) = 11,00,00,000 Current Assets (Rs.) = 10,00,000 Current Liabilities and Provisions (Rs.) = 5,00,000 No. of Units outstanding under the Scheme = 1,00,00,000 NAV per unit (Rs.) = 11,00,00,000 + 10,00,000 - 5,00,000 = 11.0500. ______________________________ 1,00,00,000 The NAV of the Scheme shall be calculated up to four decimal places. However, the AMC reserves the right to declare the NAVs upto additional decimal places as it deems appropriate. Separate NAV will be calculated and disclosed for each Option under each Plan. The NAVs of the Growth Option and the Income Distribution cum Capital Withdrawal Option under each Plan will be different after the declaration of the first IDCW. The NAVs will be calculated for all the Business Days. Rounding off policy for NAV: To ensure uniformity, the Mutual Fund shall round off NAVs up to four decimal places. However, the Mutual Fund can round off the NAVs up to more than four decimal places, if it so desires. Presently, entry load cannot be charged by mutual fund schemes. Thus, sale price for a particular investor shall be equal to the applicable NAV for the investor at the time of investment. For example, if applicable NAV of the Scheme is Rs. 11 then the sale price will also be Rs. 11 as Entry Load is not applicable. The Repurchase Price however, will not be lower than 95% of the NAV subject to SEBI Regulations as amended from time to time. Methodology of calculation of repurchase price: For calculating the repurchase price, the exit load applicable at the time of investment shall be deducted from the applicable NAV of the Scheme. For example: If the applicable NAV of the Scheme is Rs. 11 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 repurchase price will be calculated as follows: 24Step 1: Applicable NAV * Exit Load at the time of investment in % = Exit Load Amount; i.e. Rs. 11 * 1% = Rs. 0.11; Step 2: Applicable NAV - Exit Load Amount = Repurchase price; i.e. Rs. 11- Rs. 0.11 = Rs.10.89. For other details such as policies w.r.t computation of NAV, rounding off, investment in foreign securities (as applicable), procedure in case of delay in disclosure of NAV etc. refer to SAI. B. NEW FUND OFFER (NFO) EXPENSES These expenses are incurred for the purpose of various activities related to the NFO like sales and distribution fees paid, marketing and advertising, Registrar & Transfer Agents expenses, printing and stationary, bank charges etc. However, this section is not applicable as this is a Continuous Offer of units of the Scheme at NAV Based Prices.

REQUIREMENT OF MINIMUM INVESTORS IN THE SCHEME The Scheme shall have a minimum of 20 investors and no single investor shall account for more than 25% of the corpus of the Scheme. However, if such limit is breached during the NFO of the Scheme, the Fund will endeavour to ensure that within a period of three months or the end of the succeeding calendar quarter from the close of the NFO of the Scheme, whichever is earlier, the Scheme complies with these two conditions. 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 (MF) Regulations 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. The two conditions mentioned above shall also be complied within each subsequent calendar quarter thereafter, on an average basis, as specified by SEBI. If there is a breach of the 25% limit by any investor over the quarter, a rebalancing period of one month would be allowed and thereafter the investor who is in breach of the rule shall be given 15 days notice to redeem his exposure over the 25 % limit. Failure on the part of the said investor to redeem his exposure over the 25 % limit within the aforesaid 15 days would lead to automatic redemption by the Mutual Fund on the Applicable Net Asset Value on the 15th day of the notice period. The Fund shall adhere to the requirements prescribed by SEBI from time to time in this regard. 30Section II I. Introduction A. Definitions/interpretation Kindly refer definitions-interpretations.pdf (unionmf.com) for definitions/interpretations. The given Scheme specific definitions/terms as may be applicable to the Scheme apply throughout this Document in addition to the definitions/terms mentioned in the Statement of Additional Information unless the context requires otherwise. B. Risk Factors: Scheme Specific Risk Factors Some of the specific risk factors related to the Scheme include, but are not limited to the following: The FoF Scheme will be allocating assets in a basket of Equity Funds, Debt & Money Market Funds and Money Market Instruments. Hence, scheme specific risk factors of the underlying schemes will be applicable. All risks associated with the different asset classes of the underlying schemes, including performance of their underlying securities, derivative instruments, stock-lending, investments in foreign securities etc., will therefore be applicable in the case of this Fund of Fund Scheme. Investors who intend to invest in Fund of Fund are required to and are deemed to have read and understood the risk factors of the underlying scheme relevant to the Fund of Fund Scheme that they invest in. Any change in the investment policies or fundamental attributes of the underlying schemes will affect the performance of this FOFs Scheme. The liquidity of the Scheme(s) investments is inherently restricted by liquidity of Underlying Scheme. This being a FoF Scheme, the investors should note that the expenses to be borne by the investor include the recurring expenses of the underlying scheme in which FoF Scheme makes investments subject to the maximum limits prescribed under sub-regulation 6 & 6A of Regulation 52 of the SEBI Regulations. As the Fund of Fund scheme will invest into an underlying scheme, the expense charged being dependent on the structure of the underlying scheme (being different), it may lead to a non- uniform charging of expenses over a period of time. As the investors are incurring expenditure at both the Fund of Fund level and the scheme into which the Fund of Funds invests, wherever applicable, the returns that they may obtain may be materially impacted or may at times be lower than the returns that investors directly investing in such scheme obtain. The Portfolio disclosure / Factsheet of this Scheme will be limited to providing the particulars of the allocation to the underlying schemes where the Scheme has invested and will not include the investments made by the underlying schemes. Investors may refer to the portfolios of the relevant underlying schemes for details. 31Switch-out from an underlying scheme and Switch in to another underlying scheme will be subject to the provisions of applicability of NAV as also the payout and pay-in cycles applicable to redemption / purchase under the relevant schemes. In times of extreme volatility, this may have impact on the NAV of the Scheme, particularly at the time of portfolio rebalancing. Purchase of units in underlying schemes will attract applicable stamp duty. Redemptions by the Scheme from the underlying schemes would be subject to applicable exit loads, which may impact performance of the Scheme. A Fund Manager managing any one of the Fund of Funds Schemes may also be the Fund Manager for the underlying schemes 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 1. Risks Associated with investments in Equities and Equity related instruments of the underlying schemes: Underlying schemes may invest in Equity shares and equity related instruments are volatile and prone to price fluctuations on a daily basis. Investments in equity shares and equity related instruments involve a degree of risk and investors should not invest in the Scheme unless they can afford to take the risks. While securities that are listed on the stock exchange carry lower liquidity risk, the ability to sell these investments is limited by the overall trading volume on the stock exchanges and may lead to the Scheme incurring losses till the security is finally sold. 2. Risks associated with investing in Fixed Income Securities/Bonds of the underlying schemes: The following are the risks associated with investment in Fixed Income Securities/Bonds: Interest Rate Risk: This risk is associated with movements in interest rate, which depend on various factors such as government borrowing, inflation, economic performance etc. Fixed income securities such as government bonds, corporate bonds, and money market instruments etc. run price-risk or interest-rate risk. Generally, when interest rates rise, prices of fixed income securities fall and when interest rates drop, the prices generally increase. The extent of fall or rise in the prices depends upon factors such as coupon, maturity of the security, the yield level at which the security is being traded. The longer the time to a bond’s maturity, the greater is its interest rate risk. The NAV of the Scheme is expected to increase from a fall in interest rates while it would be adversely affected by an increase in the level of interest rates. Re-investment Risk: Investments in fixed income securities may carry re-investment risk as interest rates prevailing on the interest or maturity due dates may differ from the original coupon of the bond. Consequently, the proceeds may get invested at a lower rate. Basis Risk: This risk arises when the derivative instrument used to hedge the underlying asset does not match the movement of the underlying being hedged. The underlying benchmark of a floating rate security might become less active or may cease to exist and thus may not be able to capture the exact interest rate movements, leading to loss of value of the portfolio. Where swaps are used to hedge an underlying 32fixed income security, basis risk could arise when the fixed income yield curve moves differently from that of the swap benchmark curve Spread Risk: Yield Spreads between fixed income securities might change. Example: Corporate Bonds are exposed to the risk of widening of the spread between corporate bonds and gilts. Prices of corporate bonds tend to fall if this spread widens which might adversely affect the NAV of the scheme. Similarly, in case of floating rate securities, where the coupon is expressed in terms of a spread or mark up over the benchmark rate, widening of the spread results in a fall in the value of such securities. Liquidity Risk: This risk pertains to how saleable a security is in the market or the ease at which a security can be sold at or close to its true value. Trading volumes, settlement periods and transfer procedures may restrict the liquidity of some of the investments. The primary measure of liquidity risk is the spread between the bid price and the offer price quoted by a dealer. The liquidity of debt securities may change, depending on market conditions. At the time of selling the security, the security can become less liquid (wider spread) or illiquid, leading to loss in value of the portfolio. Securities that are unlisted generally carry a higher liquidity risk compared to listed securities. Money market securities, while fairly liquid, lack a well-developed secondary market, which may restrict the selling ability of the Scheme and may lead to the Scheme incurring mark to market losses and losses when the security is finally sold. Liquidity risk is greater for thinly traded securities, lower-rated bonds, bonds that were part of a smaller issue, bonds that have recently had their credit rating downgraded or bonds sold by an infrequent issuer may be relatively illiquid. Bonds are generally the most liquid during the period right after issuance when the bond typically has the highest trading volume. Credit Risk/ Default Risk: Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a debenture/ bond or a money market instrument may default on interest and /or principal payment obligations and/or on violation of covenant(s) and/or delay in scheduled payment(s). Even when there is no default, the price of a security may change with expected changes in the credit rating of the issuer. Government Security is a sovereign security and the default risk is considered to be the least. Corporate bonds carry a higher credit risk than Government Securities and among corporate bonds there are different levels of safety. Credit risks of most issuers of debt securities are rated by independent and professionally run rating agencies. Ratings of Credit issued by these agencies typically range from “AAA” (read as “Triple A” denoting “Highest Safety”) to “D” (denoting “Default”). A bond rated higher by a particular rating agency is safer than a bond rated lower by the same rating agency. Duration risk: The modified duration of a bond is a measure of its price sensitivity to interest rates movements, based on the average time to maturity of its interest and principal cash flows. Bond portfolio managers increase average duration when they expect rates to decline, to get the most benefit, and decrease average duration when they expect rates to rise, so minimize the negative impact. If rates move in a direction contrary to their expectations, they lose. Inflation risk: Inflation causes tomorrow’s currency to be worth less than today’s; in other words, it reduces the purchasing power of a bond investor’s future interest payments and principal, collectively known as “cash flows.” Inflation also leads to higher interest rates, which in turn leads to lower bond prices. Inflation-indexed securities such as Treasury Inflation Protection Securities (TIPS) are structured to remove inflation risk. 33Performance Risk: Performance of the Scheme may be impacted with changes in factors which affect the capital market and in particular the debt market. Prepayment Risk: The borrower may repay the receivables earlier than scheduled, which may result in change in the yield and tenor for the Scheme. Call risk: Some corporate have a “call provision” entitling their issuers to redeem them at a specified price on a date prior to maturity. Declining interest rates may accelerate the redemption of a callable bond, causing an investor’s principal to be returned sooner than expected. In that scenario, investors have to reinvest the principal at the lower interest rates. (See also Reinvestment risk.) Counterparty, settlement, selection, timing, concentration and legislative risk are the same as mentioned under the risks associated with Equities. 4. Risks associated with investing in Securities Segment and Tri-party Repo trade settlement: The mutual fund is a member of securities segment and Tri-party Repo trade settlement of the Clearing Corporation of India (CCIL). All transactions of the mutual fund in government securities and in Tri-party Repo trades are settled centrally through the infrastructure and settlement systems provided by CCIL; thus reducing the settlement and counterparty risks considerably for transactions in the said segments. The members are required to contribute an amount as communicated by CCIL from time to time to the default fund maintained by CCIL as a part of the default waterfall (a loss mitigating measure of CCIL in case of default by any member in settling transactions routed through CCIL). CCIL shall maintain two separate Default Funds in respect of its Securities Segment, one with a view to meet losses arising out of any default by its members from outright and repo trades and the other for meeting losses arising out of any default by its members from Triparty Repo trades. The mutual fund is exposed to the extent of its contribution to the default fund of CCIL at any given point in time i.e. in the event that the default waterfall is triggered and the contribution of the mutual fund is called upon to absorb settlement/default losses of another member by CCIL, the scheme may lose an amount equivalent to its contribution to the default fund. 5. Risks associated with transaction in Units through stock exchange(s): In respect of transaction in Units of the Scheme through BSE and / or NSE (applicable as and when the facility to transact in the Units of the Scheme through the Stock Exchange mechanism is provided by the AMC), allotment and redemption of Units on any Business Day will depend upon the order processing / settlement by BSE and / or NSE and their respective clearing corporations on which the Fund has no control. 6. Risks Factors Associated with Creation of Segregated Portfolio: The unitholders may note that no redemption and subscription shall be allowed in segregated portfolio. However, in order to facilitate exit to unitholders in segregated portfolio, the AMC shall enable listing of units of segregated portfolio on the recognized stock exchange. The risks associated in regard to the segregated portfolio are as follows: • The investors holding units of the segregated portfolio may not be able to liquidate their holdings till the time of recovery of money from the issuer. The security comprising the segregated portfolio may not realize any value. 34• Listing of units of the segregated portfolio on a recognized stock exchange does not necessarily guarantee their liquidity. There may not be active trading of units of the segregated portfolio on the stock exchange. • The trading price of units on the stock exchange may be significantly lower than the prevailing Net Assets Value (NAV) of the segregated portfolio. For the detailed provisions in relation to segregated portfolios, investors are requested to refer the Statement of Additional Information (SAI) of Union Mutual Fund. C. Risk Mitigation Stategies The asset allocation of the Scheme will be steadily monitored and it shall be ensured that investments are made in accordance with the scheme objective and within the regulatory and internal investment restrictions prescribed from time to time. A detailed process has been designed to identify, measure, monitor and manage portfolio risk. The aim is to have a structured mechanism towards risk management thereby maximising potential opportunities and minimising the adverse effects of risk. Effective risk management is crucial for achieving optimum results. Adequate safeguards would be incorporated in the portfolio management process. The main instrument for reducing risk is through diversification across sectors/companies/ securities. The Fund Manager’s job is to identify securities which offer higher returns with a lower level of risk. While identifying such securities, rigorous credit evaluation would be carried out by the investment team. The front office system of the AMC has the capability of pre- investment monitoring of investment restrictions as per SEBI guidelines and various internal limits prescribed from time to time to facilitate pre-emptive monitoring. Some of the risks and the corresponding risk mitigating strategies are listed below: • Risks associated with Equity and Equity related instruments of underlying schemes: Risk Risk mitigation strategy Market Risk The scheme is vulnerable to price fluctuations and Endeavour to have a well diversified portfolio of volatility changes, which could have a material good companies with the ability to use impact on the overall returns of the scheme. cash/derivatives for hedging.

Information about the scheme: A. Where will the scheme invest The corpus of the Scheme will be invested Existing or prospective schemes of Union Mutual Fund / third party domestic mutual funds that invests in equity and equity related instruments, debt and money market Funds and money market instruments etc. depending upon the asset allocation pattern, investment objective and risk profile of the schemes. Units of Debt & Money Market Funds and in Money Market Instruments, Cash or cash equivalents with residual maturity of less than 91 days will not be treated as creating any exposure • Investment in Money Market Instruments: 1. Certificate of Deposit (CD): Certificate of Deposit (CD) is a negotiable money market instrument issued by Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs) and select All India Financial Institutions (FIs) that have been permitted by the RBI to raise 36short term resources. The maturity period of CDs issued by the SCBs is between 7 days to 1 year, whereas, in case of FIs, maturity is 1 year to 3 years from the date of issue. CDs also are issued at a discount to face value and can be traded in secondary market. 2. Tri-party Repo in Government Securities: Tri-party Repo means a repo contract where a third entity (apart from the borrower and lender), called a Tri-Party Agent, acts as an intermediary between the two parties to the repo to facilitate services like collateral selection, payment and settlement, custody and management during the life of the transaction. The Scheme shall undertake Tri-party Repo transactions in Government Securities. 3. Commercial Paper (CP): Commercial Paper (CP) is an unsecured negotiable money market instrument issued in the form of a promissory note, generally issued by the corporates, primary dealers and All India Financial Institutions as an alternative source of short term borrowings. CP is traded in secondary market and can be freely bought and sold before maturity. CP can be issued for maturities between a minimum of 15 days and a maximum up to 1 year from the date of issue. 4. Reverse Repo: Reverse Repo is a transaction in which two parties agree to sell and purchase the same security with an agreement to purchase or sell the same security at a mutually decided future date and price. The transaction results in collateralized borrowing or lending of funds. Presently in India, Central Government Securities, State Government securities, T-Bills and corporate debt securities are eligible for Reverse Repo. The Scheme intends to participate in Reverse Repo in Central Government Securities, State Government securities, T-Bills. However, the scheme does not intend to participate in repo/ reverse repo transactions in corporate debt securities. 5. Treasury Bill (T-Bill): Treasury Bills (T-Bills) are issued by the Government of India or State Governments to meet their short term borrowing requirements. T-Bills are issued for maturities of 91 days, 182 days and 364 days. T-Bills are issued at a discount and for a fixed period. 6. Securities created and issued by the Central and State Governments as may be permitted byRBI, securities guaranteed by the Central and State Governments (including but not limited to coupon bearing bonds, zero coupon bonds and treasury bills). State Government Securities (popularly known as State Development Loans or SDLs) are issued by the respective State Government in co-ordination with the RBI. The aforementioned securities may be acquired through initial public offering (IPOs), secondary market, private placement, rights offers, negotiated deals. Further investments in fixed income securities will be in instruments which have been assigned investment grade rating by the Credit Rating Agency. Investment in unrated debt instruments shall be subject to complying with the provisions of the Regulations and within the limit as specified in Schedule VII to the Regulations. 37The securities / instruments mentioned above and such other securities the Scheme is permitted to invest in could be listed, unlisted, privately placed, secured, unsecured, rated or unrated and of any maturity subject to investment limits specified elsewhere in this document. Pursuant to Clause 12.12 of SEBI Master Circular for Mutual Funds dated June 27, 2024; the AMC may constitute committee(s) to approve proposals for investments in unrated debt instruments. The AMC Board and the Trustee shall approve the detailed parameters for such investments. However, in case any unrated debt security does not fall under the parameters, the prior approval of Board of AMC and Trustee shall be sought. For applicable regulatory investment limits, please refer paragraph the section on "What are the Investment Restrictions?”. The Fund Manager reserves the right to invest in such securities as may be permitted from time to time and which are in line with the investment objectives of the Scheme. DEBT AND MONEY MARKETS IN INDIA The Indian debt market is today one of the largest in Asia and includes securities issued by the Government (Central & State Governments), public sector undertakings, other government bodies, financial institutions, banks and corporates. Government and public sector enterprises are the predominant borrowers in the markets. Securities in the debt market typically vary based on their tenure and rating. The major players in the Indian debt markets today are banks, financial institutions, mutual funds, insurance companies, primary dealers, trusts, pension funds and corporates. The Indian debt market is the largest segment of the Indian financial markets. The debt market comprises broadly two segments, viz. Government Securities market or G-Sec market and corporate debt market. The latter is further classified as market for PSU bonds and private sector bonds. The Government Securities market is the oldest and the largest component of the Indian debt market in terms of market capitalization, outstanding securities and trading volumes. The G-Sec market plays a vital role in the Indian economy as it provides the benchmark for determining the level of interest rates in the country through the yields on the Government Securities which are referred to as the risk-free rate of return in any economy. Over the years, there have been new products introduced by the RBI like zero coupon bonds, floating rate bonds, inflation indexed bonds, etc. The corporate bond market, in the sense of private corporate sector raising debt through public issuance in capital market, is only an insignificant part of the Indian Debt Market. A large part of the issuance in the non-Government debt market is currently on private placement basis. The money markets in India essentially consist of the call money market (i.e. market for overnight and term money between banks and institutions), reverse repo transactions (temporary buy with an agreement to sell the securities at a future date at a specified price), commercial papers (CPs, short term unsecured promissory notes, generally issued by corporates), certificate of deposits (CDs, issued by banks) and Treasury Bills (issued by RBI) and similar securities. In a predominantly institutional market, the key money market players are banks, financial institutions, insurance companies, mutual funds, primary dealers and corporates. In money market, activity levels of the Government and non government debt vary from time to time. 38Apart from these, there are some other options available for short tenure investments that include MIBOR linked debentures with periodic exit options and other such instruments. PSU / DFI / Corporate paper with a residual maturity of less than 1 year are actively traded and offer a viable investment option. Following table exhibits various debt instruments along with current yields as on February 27, 2025. Instrument Yield Range (% per annum) Tri – Party Repo 6.00 - 6.32 Repo 6.00 - 6.45 91 days T-Bill 6.44 - 6.45 364 days T-Bill 6.53 - 6.54 1 month CD/CP 6.80 - 7.00 3 month CD/CP 7.45 - 7.75 6 month CD/CP 7.55 - 7.95 1 year CD/CP 7.60 - 7.95 1 year Corporate Bond - AAA Rated 7.55 - 7.75 3 year Corporate Bond - AAA Rated 7.27 - 7.55 5 year Corporate Bond - AAA Rated 7.25 - 7.50 5 year G-sec 6.66 - 6.67 10 year G-sec 6.70 - 6.71 (Source: Bloomberg, NDS OM and CCIL) These yields are indicative and do not indicate yields that may be obtained in future as interest rates keep changing consequent to changes in macro-economic conditions and RBI policy. The price and yield on various debt instruments fluctuate from time to time depending upon the macro economic situation, inflation rate, overall liquidity position, foreign exchange scenario etc. Also, the price and yield vary according to maturity profile, credit risk etc. B. What are the investment restrictions? Investment restrictions as contained in the SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996 specifically in the Seventh Schedule of the Regulations including any amendments thereto and SEBI circulars issued from time to time and as applicable to the Scheme are provided below: 1. The Mutual Fund under all its schemes shall not own more than 10% of any company’s paid up capital carrying voting rights. Provided, investment in the asset management company or the trustee company of a mutual fund shall be governed by clause (a), of sub-regulation (1), of regulation 7B of the SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996. 392.

Provided further that the Mutual Fund may enter into derivatives transactions in a recognized stock exchange, subject to the framework specified by SEBI. Provided further that sale of government security already contracted for purchase shall be permitted in accordance with the guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank of India in this regard. 3. The Scheme shall not invest more than 10% of its NAV in debt instruments comprising money market instruments and non-money market instruments issued by a single issuer which are rated not below investment grade by a credit rating agency authorised to carry out such activity under the SEBI Act, 1992. Such investment limit may be extended to 12% of the NAV of the Scheme with the prior approval of the Board of Trustee and the Board of directors of the AMC. Provided that such limit shall not be applicable for investments in Government Securities, treasury bills and triparty repo on Government securities or treasury bills. Pursuant to clause 12.8.3 of SEBI Master Circular dated June 27,2024, within the single issuer limit specified above for debt and money market instruments, the Scheme shall not invest more than: a. 10% of its NAV in debt and money market securities rated AAA; or b. 8% of its NAV in debt and money market securities rated AA; or c. 6% of its NAV in debt and money market securities rated A and below issued by a single issuer. The above investment limits may be extended by up to 2% of the NAV of the scheme with prior approval of the Board of Trustees and Board of Directors of the AMC, subject to compliance with the overall 12% limit specified above. In line with clause 12.8.4 of SEBI Master Circular dated June 27, 2024,the long-term rating of issuers shall be considered for the money market instruments. However, if there is no long-term rating available for the same issuer, then based on credit rating mapping of Credit Rating Agencies (CRAs) between short term and long-term ratings, the most conservative long term rating shall be taken for a given short term rating. Exposure to government money market instruments such as TREPS on G-Sec/ T-bills shall be treated as exposure to government securities. 4. The Scheme shall not invest in unlisted debt instruments including commercial papers, except Government Securities and other money market instruments. Provided that the Scheme may invest in unlisted non-convertible debentures up to a maximum of 10% of the debt portfolio of the scheme subject to such conditions as may be specified by SEBI from time to time. Provided further that the Scheme shall comply with the norms under this clause within the time and in the manner as may be specified by SEBI. Provided further that the norms for investments by the Scheme in unrated debt instruments shall be specified by SEBI from time to time. 40Pursuant to Clause 12.1 of SEBI Master Circular for Mutual Funds dated June 27, 2024, the Scheme shall not invest in unlisted debt instruments including commercial papers (CPs), other than (a) government securities, (b) other money market instruments and (c) derivative products such as Interest Rate Swaps (IRS), Interest Rate Futures (IRF), etc. which are used by mutual funds for hedging. However, the Scheme may invest in unlisted Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) not exceeding 10% of the debt portfolio of the scheme subject to the condition that such unlisted NCDs have a simple structure (i.e. with fixed and uniform coupon, fixed maturity period, without any options, fully paid up upfront, without any credit enhancements or structured obligations) and are rated and secured with coupon payment frequency on monthly basis. For the purpose of provisions of this point 6, listed debt instruments shall include listed and to be listed debt instruments. Further, investment in unrated debt and money market instruments, other than government securities, treasury bills, derivative products such as Interest Rate Swaps (IRS), Interest Rate Futures (IRF), etc. by the Scheme shall be subject to the following: a. Investments should only be made in such instruments, including bills re-discounting, usance bills, etc., that are generally not rated and for which separate investment norms or limits are not provided in SEBI (Mutual Fund) Regulations, 1996 and various circulars issued thereunder. b. Exposure of the Scheme in such instruments, shall not exceed 5% of the net assets of the Scheme. c. All such investments shall be made with the prior approval of the Board of AMC and the Board of trustees. 5. The investment of the Scheme in the following instruments shall not exceed 10% of the debt portfolio of the Scheme and the group exposure in such instruments shall not exceed 5% of the debt portfolio of the Scheme: a. Unsupported rating of debt instruments (i.e. without factoring-in credit enhancements) is below investment grade and b. Supported rating of debt instruments (i.e. after factoring-in credit enhancement) is above investment grade. For the purpose of this provision, ‘Group’ shall have the same meaning as defined in Clause 12.9 of SEBI Master Circular for Mutual Funds dated June 27, 2024. Investment limits as mentioned in the above paragraph shall not be applicable on investments in securitized debt instruments, as defined in SEBI (Public Offer and Listing of Securitized Debt Instruments) Regulations 2008. Investment in debt instruments, having credit enhancements backed by equity shares directly or indirectly, shall have a minimum cover of 4 times considering the market value of such shares. The AMC shall ensure that the investment in debt instruments having credit enhancements are sufficiently covered to address the market volatility and reduce the inefficiencies of invoking of the pledge or cover, whenever required, without impacting the interest of the investors. In case of fall in the value of the cover 41below the specified limit, the AMC shall initiate necessary steps to ensure protection of the interest of the investors. Details of investments in debt instruments having structured obligations or credit enhancement features shall be disclosed distinctively in the monthly portfolio statement of the Scheme. However, Union Diversified Equity All Cap Active FOF does not intend to invest in debt securities having structured obligations (SO rating) and/or credit enhancements (CE rating). 6. The Scheme shall not make any investment in: a) Any unlisted security of an associate or group company of the sponsor(s); or b) Any security issued by way of private placement by an associate or group company of the sponsor(s); or c) The listed securities of group companies of the sponsor(s) which is in excess of 25 % of the net assets. 7. Transfer of investments from one Scheme to another Scheme in the same Mutual Fund shall be allowed only if, - a) Such transfers are done at the prevailing market price for quoted instruments on spot basis (“Spot basis” shall have the same meaning as specified by Stock Exchange for spot transactions); b) The securities so transferred shall be in conformity with the investment objective of the Scheme to which such transfer has been made. Further, the Scheme shall comply with the guidelines on inter scheme transfers of securities as prescribed by clause 12.30 of SEBI Master Circular for Mutual Funds dated June 27, 2024. 8. The Mutual Fund shall get the securities purchased or transferred in the name of the Mutual Fund on account of the concerned Scheme, wherever investments are intended to be of long-term nature. 9. All the Scheme’s investments will be in transferable securities or bank deposits or in money at call or any such facility provided by RBI in lieu of call. 10. Save as otherwise expressly provided under the Regulations, the Scheme shall not advance any loans for any purpose. 11. The Fund shall not borrow except to meet temporary liquidity needs of the Fund for the purpose of repurchase/redemption of Units or payment of interest and/or IDCW to the Unit holder. The Fund shall not borrow more than 20% of the net assets of the Scheme and the duration of the borrowing shall not exceed a period of 6 months. 12. The scheme shall not make any investment in a Fund of Funds scheme. 13. The scheme shall not invest its assets other than in schemes of mutual funds, except to the extent of funds required for meeting the liquidity requirements for the purpose of repurchases or redemptions, as disclosed in the offer document of fund of funds scheme. 42All investments by the Scheme will be made in accordance with the Investment Objective and Investment Pattern described earlier. The Trustee may alter the above restrictions from time to time to the extent that changes in the Regulations may allow and as deemed fit in the general interest of the Unit Holders. The Scheme will comply with the other Regulations applicable to the investments of Mutual Funds from time to time. As the Scheme, presently does not intend to engage in short selling or invest in securitised debt or participate in repo/reverse repo transactions in corporate debt securities or participate in credit default swap transactions, the investment restrictions relating to short selling or securitised debt or repo/reverse repo transactions in corporate debt securities or credit default swap transactions have not been included in this document. Apart from the Investment Restrictions prescribed under the Regulations, internal risk parameters for limiting exposure to a particular scrip or sector may be prescribed from time to time to respond to the dynamic market conditions and market opportunities. The AMC/Trustee may alter these above stated restrictions from time to time to the extent the Regulations change, so as to permit the Scheme to make its investments in the full spectrum of permitted investments for mutual funds to achieve its respective investment objective. All the investment restrictions will be applicable at the time of making investments.

However, there can be no assurance that the investment objective of the scheme will be achieved. Investment Strategy The investment team will follow an active strategy to manage the assets of the fund and will make investments as per the asset allocation pattern of the Scheme. To achieve the investment objective of the Scheme, investments will be made in an appropriate mix of high quality money market, debt and Government securities. The AMC will be guided by fundamental research and analysis, ratings assigned by domestic credit rating agencies, macroeconomic factors. In addition, the investment team of the AMC will carry out an internal in-depth credit evaluation of securities proposed to be invested in. The credit evaluation will essentially be a bottom up approach and include financial statement analysis, a study of the operating environment of the issuer, the past track record as well as the future prospects of the issuer and the short term / long term financial health of the issuer, prospects of the industry. The investment team of the AMC will continuously monitor and review the macroeconomic environment including the political and economic factors, money supply in the system, Government borrowing programme and demand and supply of debt instruments, credit pick up among others, affecting the liquidity and interest rates. The composition of the Indian Debt market (both the primary and secondary) is dominated by money market instruments in the short end of the yield curve and by medium and long term bonds and debentures in the long end of the curve. Since the scheme seeks to deliver reasonable market related returns with lower risk, the investment strategy will be to predominantly invest in money market instruments. As the turnover of the portfolio would be high, given the fact the investors in a liquid fund would deploy their funds for a short period of time, the portfolio would be structured to incorporate high liquidity by the use of cash and cash equivalents. Efficient portfolio construction will be used to the extent possible to manage interest rate risk across different asset classes and duration buckets, and optimise risk adjusted returns. Derivatives Strategy: In order to achieve the investment objective, the Scheme may take exposure to debt derivatives in accordance with SEBI Regulations as amended from time to time. The Scheme may use debt derivative instruments like Overnight Indexed Swaps (“OIS”), forward rate agreements, interest rate futures or such other derivative instruments as may be permitted under the applicable regulations.

The investment objective of the Scheme is to generate regular income by investing in money market instruments having maturity of upto 1 year. To pursue its investment objective, the Fund Manager has the discretion to invest across money market instruments in line with the asset allocation pattern of the Scheme. The fund management team will take an active view of the interest rate environment by keeping a close watch on various parameters of the Indian economy. It will take into account the various variables affecting the interest rate scenario, relative valuation of the securities, quality of instruments, maturity profile of the instruments and liquidity of the securities.

However, there is no assurance that the Investment Objective of the Scheme will be achieved. Investment Strategy The investment team will follow an active strategy to manage the assets of the fund and will make investments as per the asset allocation pattern of the Scheme. The investment objective of the Scheme is to generate income through investment in a portfolio comprising of government securities of various maturities. To achieve the investment objective, the Scheme will invest minimum 80% of its total assets in government securities of various maturities. The Scheme may also invest in Triparty Repo, Reverse Repo in Government Securities and Treasury Bills in line with the asset allocation of the Scheme. The Fund Manager will seek to generate returns commensurate with minimal credit risk by investing in a portfolio comprising of securities issued and guaranteed by Central and State Government in line with the asset allocation pattern of the Scheme. Being sovereign debt, Government Securities generally carry relatively minimal credit risk. However, they do carry price risk depending upon the general level of interest rates prevailing from time to time. Generally, when interest rates rise, prices of fixed income securities fall and when interest rates decline, the prices of fixed income securities increase. The extent of fall or rise in the prices is a function of the coupon rate, days to maturity and the increase or decrease in the level of interest rates. The fund management team will take an active view of the interest rate environment by keeping a close watch on various parameters of the Indian economy. It will take into account the various variables affecting the interest rate scenario, relative valuation of the securities, quality of instruments, maturity profile of the instruments and liquidity of the securities.

However, there can be no assurance that the investment objective of the scheme will be achieved. Investment Strategy The investment team will follow an active strategy to manage the assets of the fund and will make investments as per the asset allocation pattern of the Scheme. The Scheme retains the flexibility to invest across all classes of debt and money market instruments with no cap or floor on maturity, duration or instrument type concentrations. The portfolio maturity profile of the Scheme will be actively managed based on the prevailing market conditions like interest rate scenario, market liquidity, available spreads etc., whereby the maturity profile will be increased or decreased with a view to enhance income/returns. Since the intention of the Scheme is to dynamically manage the asset allocation, the percentages of asset allocation would change depending on view on interest rates as well as the level of corporate spreads prevailing at the time of investment and also the availability of different assets at different point of time. The Scheme has the discretion to take aggressive interest rate / duration risk calls, which could mean investing 81the entire net assets in long dated Government securities and debt instruments (carrying relatively higher interest rate risk), or on defensive considerations, entirely in money market instruments. Accordingly, the interest rate risk of the Scheme may change substantially depending upon the Fund’s call. To achieve the investment objective of the Scheme, investments will be made in an appropriate mix of high quality money market, debt and Government securities. The AMC will be guided by fundamental research and analysis, ratings assigned by domestic credit rating agencies, macroeconomic factors.

There is no assurance that the investment objective of the Scheme will be achieved. Investment Strategy The Scheme shall follow an active investment strategy to manage the assets of the fund and will make investments as per the asset allocation pattern of the Scheme. The scheme aims to identify securities which offer optimal level of yields/returns, considering risk-reward ratio. An appropriate mix of debt and money market securities will be used to achieve this. The scheme will invest in Debt & Money Market securities such that the Macaulay Duration of the portfolio is between 1 year to 3 years. With the aim of controlling risks, rigorous in-depth credit evaluation of the securities proposed to be invested in will be carried out. The credit evaluation includes a study of the operating environment of the company, the past track record as well as the future prospects of the issuer, the short as well as longer-term financial health of the issuer. Additionally, outlook on macro-economic conditions, including the political, economic environment and factors affecting liquidity and interest rates should help in forming a view on direction of interest rates and to align the portfolio appropriately to take advantage of the same. The Scheme may use derivative instruments like Interest Rate Swaps, Interest Rate Futures, Forward Rate Agreements or other derivative instruments for the purpose of hedging, portfolio balancing and other purposes, as permitted under the Regulations. It may also invest in securitized debt. The Scheme may undertake repo transactions in corporate debt securities in accordance with the directions issued by RBI and SEBI from time to time. Such investment shall be made subject to the guidelines which may be prescribed. The Scheme may refer to certain in-house models which would be based on various prevailing broad market parameters and would be dynamic in nature. The same may be referred by the fund manager as required from time to time. #The Macaulay duration is the weighted average term to maturity of the cash 83flows from a bond. The weight of each cash flow is determined by dividing the present value of the cash flow by the price. Macaulay duration can be calculated as follows: Where: • t = respective time period • C = periodic coupon payment • y = periodic yield • n = total number of periods • M = maturity value • Current Bond Price = Present value of cash flows The Macaulay duration can be viewed as the economic balance point of a group of cash flows. Another way to interpret the statistic is that it is the weighted average number of years an investor must maintain a position in the bond until the present value of the bond’s cash flows equals the amount paid for the bond.
