Scheme post New Fund Offer and also pending deployment of new inflows received in the Scheme on an
ongoing basis.
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

Justification for use of Benchmark
The BSE 500 Index represents top 500 companies selected based on full market capitalization from the
eligible universe. The Scheme intends to invest in various types of equity oriented mutual fund schemes
whose underlying investments are mainly captured by the Benchmark Index. Hence, the performance will
be compared with this Broad Market Index. The performance will be benchmarked to the Total Returns
Variant of the Index.
The composition of the benchmark is such that, it is most suited for comparing performance of the
Scheme. This benchmark shall provide the investor with an independent and representative comparison
with fund portfolio.
The Trustee reserves the right to change the Benchmark for the evaluation of the performance of the
Scheme from time to time, keeping in mind the investment objective of the Scheme and the
appropriateness of the Benchmark, subject to the Regulations and other prevalent guidelines.

Part III- OTHER DETAILS
A. 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.

The Investor is requested to check the prevailing Load structure, if any, of the Scheme before
investing.
The AMC / Trustee reserves the right to change / modify the Load structure, subject to the limits
prescribed under the Regulations, if it so deems fit in the interest of investors and for the smooth and
efficient functioning of the Mutual Fund.
The Repurchase Price however, will not be lower than 95% of the NAV subject to SEBI Regulations as
amended from time to time.
The Mutual Fund may charge the load without any discrimination to any specific group of unit holders.
Any imposition or enhancement in the Load in future shall be applicable on prospective investments only.
Procedure for changing the Load Structure:
At the time of changing the Load Structure, the AMC shall follow the following procedure:
1. An addendum detailing the changes will be attached to Scheme Information Document (s) and Key
Information Memorandum (s). The addendum may be circulated to all the distributors / brokers so that the
same can be attached to all Scheme Information Document (s) and Key Information Memorandum (s)
already in stock.
2. The addendum will be displayed on the website of the AMC immediately and arrangements will be
made to display the addendum in the form of a notice in all the Investor Service Centers and distributors /
brokers’ office.
293. The introduction of the Exit Load/ CDSC along with the details may be stamped in the
acknowledgement slip issued to the Investors on submission of the application form and may also be
disclosed in the statement of accounts issued after the introduction of such Load/CDSC.
4. Any other measure which the Mutual Fund may consider necessary.
E. 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.

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:

II. 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.

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.

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?

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.

credit rating by a SEBI registered Credit Rating Agency (CRA), as
under:
a. Downgrade of a debt or money market instrument to ‘below
investment grade’, or

credit event is considered for creation of segregated portfolio,
however for the purpose of the aforesaid circular, ‘actual
default’ by the issuer of such instruments shall be considered
for creation of segregated portfolio.
b. AMCs shall inform AMFI immediately about the actual default
by the issuer. Upon being informed about the default, AMFI
shall immediately inform the same to all AMCs. Pursuant to
dissemination of information by AMFI about actual default by
the issuer, AMCs may segregate the portfolio.
66Risks associated with segregated portfolio:
The unit holders may note that no redemption and subscription
shall be allowed in the segregated portfolio. However, in order to
facilitate exit to unit holders in the segregated portfolio, the AMC
shall enable listing of units of segregated portfolio on the

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.

stock exchange does not necessarily guarantee their liquidity.
There may not be active trading of units of the segregated
portfolio on the stock exchange.

appreciation and generate income by investing predominantly in equity and
equity related securities of mid cap companies. However, there is no
assurance that the Investment Objective of the Scheme will be achieved.
Investment Strategy The Scheme seeks to achieve long term capital appreciation and generate
income by investing predominantly in equity and equity related securities of
mid cap companies. To achieve the investment objective, the scheme will
make investments as per the asset allocation pattern of the Scheme. The
Scheme will invest atleast 65% of the total assets in equity and equity related
securities of midcap companies, which in the opinion of the Fund Manager
offers superior risk reward payoff. To manage the assets of the Scheme, the
investment team will follow an active strategy and will predominantly follow a
bottom up approach of stock selection. The investment team shall scan the
market for opportunities and shall evaluate the individual opportunities on their
merits, leading to the bottom-up investment decision. Other aspects like asset
allocation and sector allocation shall also be considered. Further, the Fund
Manager has the discretion to invest in equity and equity related instruments of
companies other than mid cap companies (i.e. companies which have a
market capitalisation of above or below the market capitalisation range of
midcap companies), in line with the asset allocation pattern of the Scheme.
The fund manager could use derivatives within the permissible limits for
hedging and rebalancing the portfolio or such other purpose as may be
permitted under the Regulations from time to time. Investment in Debt and
Money Market Instruments will be as per asset allocation pattern mentioned in
this document, subject to the investment limits prescribed under the SEBI
(Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996 and circulars issued thereunder. Investment
in debt securities will be guided by credit quality, liquidity, interest rates and
their outlook. The Scheme may also invest in the units of REITs and InvITs for
diversification, subject to conditions prescribed by SEBI from time to time.
Trading in Derivatives:
The scheme intends to use derivatives for the purpose of hedging and portfolio
balancing or such other purpose as may be permitted under the Regulations
from time to time. The same shall be within the permissible limit prescribed by
SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996 from time to time. Derivative
transactions that can be undertaken by the Scheme include a wide range of
instruments, including, but not limited to
- Futures
- Options
- Swaps
71- Any other instrument, as may be regulatorily permitted.
Derivatives can be either exchange traded or can be Over The Counter (OTC).
Exchange traded derivatives are listed and traded on Stock Exchanges
whereas OTC derivative transactions are generally structured between two
counterparties. The derivative strategies that the Scheme may use include
strategies that employ index futures, strategies that employ index options,
strategies that employ stock futures, strategies that employ stock options, and
various other derivative strategies. Further, the Scheme may also use Debt
derivative strategies which includes Overnight Indexed Swaps, Forward Rate
Agreement, Interest Rate Futures, and other Debt derivative strategies. For
detailed derivative strategies, please refer to SAI.
Investment in Mutual Fund units: To avoid duplication of portfolios and to
reduce expenses, the Scheme may also invest in debt and liquid schemes
managed by the AMC or in the debt and liquid schemes of any other mutual
funds (without charging any fees) in conformity with the investment objective of
the Scheme and in the terms of the prevailing SEBI (Mutual Funds)

fund and will make investments as per the asset allocation pattern of the
Scheme. The Scheme will invest predominantly in corporate bonds (only in AA+
and above rated corporate bonds). The remaining portion will be invested in

Particulars Details
Name of the scheme Union Liquid Fund
Benchmark Name CRISIL Liquid Debt A-I Index
77Investment Objective To provide reasonable returns commensurate with lower risk and high level
of liquidity through a portfolio of money market and debt 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. 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. For detailed derivative
strategies, please refer to SAI.
Investments in Mutual Fund Units: To avoid duplication of portfolios and to
reduce expenses, the Scheme may also invest in debt schemes managed by
the AMC or in the debt schemes of other mutual funds in line with the
investment objectives of the Scheme and provided that aggregate inter-
scheme investment made by all schemes managed by the AMC either in its
own schemes or of any other Mutual Fund shall not exceed 5% (or such
other permitted limit), of the Net Asset Value of the Fund.

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

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. In depth credit evaluation of the issuers will be
carried out by the investment team of the AMC. This evaluation will be driven
by internal and external research. The credit evaluation process includes
analyzing the operating environment, management, business profile,
financials and expected future performance of the issuers. The investment

Benchmark Name CRISIL Dynamic Gilt Index
Investment Objective The investment objective of the Scheme is to generate income through
investment in a portfolio comprising of government securities of various
maturities. 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. The investment team of the AMC
80will 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.

• Union Dynamic Bond Fund
Particulars Details
Name of the scheme Union Dynamic Bond Fund
Benchmark Name CRISIL Dynamic Bond A-III Index
Investment Objective To actively manage a portfolio of good quality debt as well as money market
instruments so as to provide reasonable returns and liquidity to the investors.
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. 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 Scheme
may also invest in the units of REITs and InvITs for diversification, subject to
conditions prescribed by SEBI from time to time.
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. For detailed derivative
strategies, please refer to SAI.
Investments in Mutual Fund Units: To avoid duplication of portfolios and to
reduce expenses, the Scheme may also invest in debt and liquid schemes
managed by the AMC or in the debt and liquid schemes of other mutual
funds in line with the investment objectives of the Scheme and provided that

AMC, either in its own schemes or of any other Mutual Fund, shall not
exceed 5% (or such other permitted limit), of the Net Asset Value of the

• Union Short Duration Fund
82Particulars Details
Name of the scheme Union Short Duration Fund
Benchmark Name CRISIL Short Duration Debt A-II Index
Investment Objective The Scheme is an actively managed Scheme with an investment objective to
provide reasonable returns and liquidity by investing in a range of debt and
money market instruments while maintaining the balance of safety, liquidity
and returns.
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.
