Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) & Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InVITs) 14C. WHAT IS THE INVESTMENT APPROACH? SO.27 SO.28 This active investment approach seeks to balance growth, income, and risk management through a diversified portfolio with flexible allocations across equity and equity-related instruments (25%–75%), debt and money market instruments (25%– 75%), unhedged derivative short positions in equity and debt (0%–25%), InVITs (0%–20%), and hedged positions in equity and debt (0%–100%). By dynamically adjusting allocations based on market conditions, economic outlook, and rigorous asset selection, the strategy emphasizes high-quality equities, investment-grade debt, and stable REITs/InVITs, while utilizing hedging and derivatives to mitigate volatility and capitalize on opportunities. Diversification, active risk management, and periodic rebalancing ensure resilience and adaptability, aiming for long- term capital appreciation and income generation within a disciplined framework.

Portfolio Turnover: Portfolio turnover is defined as lesser of purchases and sales as a percentage of the average corpus of the investment strategy during a specified period of time. Portfolio turnover in the investment strategy will be a function of market opportunities. The investment strategy is interval ended investment strategy. It would be difficult to set the target for the portfolio turnover as it would be a function of purchases/redemptions, general market conditions, trading opportunities, creation of liquidity to meet income distribution etc. Consequently, it is difficult to estimate with any reasonable measure of accuracy, the likely turnover in the portfolio. 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 investment strategy. Frequent trading may increase the profits which will offset the increase in costs. The AMC will endeavour to optimise portfolio turnover to optimise risk adjusted return keeping in mind the cost associated with it. A high portfolio turnover rate is not necessarily a drag on portfolio performance and may be representative of arbitrage opportunities that exist for securities held in the portfolio rather than an indication of change in AMC’s view on a security etc. However, the AMC will take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves from time to time because of the inefficiencies in the securities markets The investment strategy has no specific target relating to portfolio turnover.

Investments of AMC in the Investment Strategy – This is a new Investment Strategy and hence not applicable. Disclosure - https://www.wealthcompanyamc.in/wsif/ The AMC reserves the right to invest its own funds in the Investment Strategy as may be decided by the AMC from time to time. Under the Regulations, the AMC is not permitted to charge any investment management and advisory services fee on its own investment in the Investment Strategy. SO.58 Subject to the Regulations, the AMC may invest either directly or indirectly, in the Investment Strategy during Ongoing Offer Period. However, the AMC shall not charge any investment management fee on such investment in the Investment Strategy. As per the amended regulations i.e. sub-regulation 3(a) in Regulation 22 of SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 2026 (‘MF Regulations’), the asset management companies (‘AMCs’) are required to invest such amount in such Investment Strategy (s) of the Specialized Investment Fund, based on the risk associated with the investment strategy, as may be specified by the Board from time to time. – Accordingly, it is decided that based on the risk band assigned to the Investment Strategy(s), in terms of Clause 6.16 of SEBI Master Circular on Mutual Funds dated March 20, 2026, the AMC shall invest minimum amount as a percentage of assets under management (‘AUM’) in their Investment Strategy (s) in line with the Clause 7.13 of SEBI Master Circular on Mutual Funds dated March 20, 2026. 18PART III- OTHER DETAILS A. COMPUTATION OF NAV The Net Asset Value (NAV) per Unit under the Investment Strategy will be computed by dividing the net assets of the Investment Strategy by the number of Units outstanding on the valuation day. The Specialized Investment Fund will value its investments according to the valuation norms, as specified in Schedule VII of the SEBI (MF) Regulations, or such norms as may be specified by SEBI from time to time. The broad valuation norms policies w.r.t computation of NAV, rounding off, procedure in case of delay in disclosure of NAV etc. are detailed in the SAI. The Net Asset Value (NAV) of the Units will be determined daily or as prescribed by the Regulations. The NAV shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula, or such other formula as may be prescribed by SEBI from time to time. NAV = Market/Fair value of Scheme’s Investments + Current Assets – Current Liabilities and Provisions No. of units outstanding under Investment Strategy/ Plan Where the assets include the value of securities and liquid cash. The securities in which the Investment Strategy has invested include both equity, debentures, bonds, bills of exchange, commercial paper. It also includes the interest accrued and dividend earned. The liabilities and expenses include the money payable, interest payable, fund management expenses. The NAV shall be calculated up to four decimal places. However, the AMC reserves the right to declare the NAVs up to additional decimal places as it deems appropriate. Separate NAV will be calculated and disclosed for each Option. The NAVs of the Growth Option and the IDCW Option under each of the Plans will be different after the declaration of the first IDCW. The AMC will calculate and disclose the first NAV of the Investment Strategy within a period of 5 business days from the date of allotment. Subsequently, the NAVs will be calculated and disclosed on all the Business Days. Illustration on Computation of NAV: SO. 42 Illustration: Assumptions - on the day of calculation of NAV: Market or Fair Value of the Scheme’s Investments = 10600 Current Assets = 250 Current Liabilities & provisions = 150 No of units outstanding in the plan = 1000 NAV = (10600+250-150)/1000 = 10.70 Any change in Load structure will be effective on prospective basis and will not affect the existing Unit holder in any manner. However, the Specialized Investment Fund will ensure that the Redemption Price will not be lower than 97% of the Applicable NAV. The Purchase Price shall be at applicable NAV. Methodology of calculating the sale price: The price or NAV an investor is charged while investing in an open-ended scheme is called sale / subscription price. Pursuant to clause 11.7.1 of the SEBI Master circular for Mutual Funds dated March 20,2026 no entry load will be charged by the Scheme to the investors. Therefore, Sale / Subscription price = Applicable NAV Methodology of calculating the repurchase price Repurchase or redemption price is the price or NAV at which an open-ended scheme purchases or redeems its units from the investors. It may include exit load, if applicable. The exit load, if any, shall be charged as a percentage of Net Assets Value (NAV) i.e. applicable load as a percentage of NAV will be deducted from the “Applicable NAV” to calculate the repurchase price. Therefore, Repurchase / Redemption Price = Applicable NAV *(1 – Exit Load, if any) For example, If the Applicable NAV of the Scheme is Rs. 10 and the Exit Load applicable at the time of investment is 1% if redeemed before completion of 1 year from the date of allotment of units and the investor redeems units before completion 19of 1 year, then the repurchase/redemption price will be: = Rs. 10*(1-0.01) = Rs. 9.90 B. NEW FUND OFFER (NFO) EXPENSES These expenses are incurred for the purpose of various activities related to the NFO like marketing and advertising, registrar expenses, printing and stationary, bank charges etc. All the expenditures pertaining to launch of new fund offer till the date of allotment of mutual fund units to investors, shall be borne by the AMC or Trustees or Sponsor. C. ANNUAL RECURRING EXPENSES These are the fees and expenses for operating the Investment Strategy. These expenses include Investment Management and Advisory Fee charged by the AMC, Registrar and Transfer Agents’ fee, marketing and selling costs etc. as given in the table below: The AMC has estimated that upto 1.85 % of the daily net assets of the Investment Strategy will be charged to the Investment Strategy as expenses.

Introduction A. Definitions/interpretation Please refer to our website at https://www.wealthcompanyamc.in/wsif/ B. Risk factors SO.8 Investment strategy Specific Risk Factors Some of the specific risk factors related to the Investment strategy include, but are not limited to the following: (i) Risk factors associated with investing in equities and equity related instruments • 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 Investment strategy unless they can afford to take the risks. • Securities, which are not quoted on the stock exchanges, are inherently illiquid in nature and carry a larger amount of liquidity risk, in comparison to securities that are listed on the exchanges. Investment in such securities may lead to increase in the investment strategy portfolio risk. • 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 Investment strategy incurring losses till the security is finally sold. • Investment strategy's performance may differ from the benchmark index to the extent of the investments held in the debt segment, as per the investment pattern indicated under normal circumstances. (ii) Risk factors associated with investing in Fixed Income Securities • The Net Asset Value (NAV) of the Investment strategy, to the extent invested in Debt and Money Market instruments, will be affected by changes in the general level of interest rates. The NAV of the Investment strategy 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. • Money market instruments, while fairly liquid, lack a well developed secondary market, which may restrict the selling ability of the Investment strategy and may lead to the Investment strategy incurring losses till the security is finally sold. ● Investments in money market instruments involve credit risk commensurate with short term rating of the issuers. • Investment in Debt instruments are subject to varying degree of credit risk or default (i.e. the risk of an issuer's inability to meet interest or principal payments on its obligations) or any other issues, which may have their credit ratings downgraded. Changes in financial conditions of an issuer, changes in economic and political conditions in general, or changes in economic or and political conditions specific to an issuer, all of which are factors that may have an adverse impact on an issuer's credit quality and security values. The Investment Manager will endeavour to manage credit risk through in-house credit analysis. This may increase the risk of the portfolio. The Investment Manager will endeavour to manage credit risk through in-house credit analysis. • Prepayment Risk: Certain fixed income securities give an issuer the right to call back its securities before their maturity date, in periods of declining interest rates. The possibility of such prepayment may force the Investment strategy to reinvest the proceeds of such investments in securities offering lower yields, resulting in lower interest income for the Investment strategy. • Reinvestment Risk: This risk refers to the interest rate levels at which cash flows received from the securities in the Investment strategy are reinvested. The additional income from reinvestment is the "interest on interest" component. The risk is that the rate at which interim cash flows can be reinvested may be lower than that originally assumed. • Settlement risk: Different segments of Indian financial markets have different settlement periods and such periods may be extended significantly by unforeseen circumstances. Delays or other problems in settlement of transactions could result in temporary periods when the assets of the Investment strategy are uninvested and no return is earned thereon. The inability of the Investment strategy to make intended securities purchases, due to settlement problems, could cause the Investment strategy to miss certain investment opportunities. Similarly, the inability to sell securities held in the Investment strategy's portfolio, due to the absence of a well-developed and liquid secondary market for debt securities, 24may result at times in potential losses to the Investment strategy in the event of a subsequent decline in the value of securities held in the Investment strategy's portfolio. • Government securities where a fixed return is offered run price-risk like any other fixed income security. Generally, when interest rates rise, prices of fixed income securities fall and when interest rates drop, the prices increase. The extent of fall or rise in the prices is a function of the existing coupon, days to maturity and the increase or decrease in the level of interest rates. The new level of interest rate is determined by the rates at which government raises new money and/or the price levels at which the market is already dealing in existing securities. The price-risk is not unique to Government Securities. It exists for all fixed income securities. However, Government Securities are unique in the sense that their credit risk generally remains zero. Therefore, their prices are influenced only by movement in interest rates in the financial system. • Different types of fixed income securities in which the Investment strategy would invest as given in the Investment strategy Information Document carry different levels and types of risk. Accordingly, the Investment strategy risk may increase or decrease depending upon its investment pattern. e.g. corporate bonds carry a higher level of risk than Government securities. Further even among corporate bonds, AAA rated bonds are comparatively less risky than AA rated bonds. • The AMC may, considering the overall level of risk of the portfolio, invest in lower rated / unrated securities offering higher yields as well as zero coupon securities that offer attractive yields. This may increase the absolute level of risk of the portfolio. • As zero coupon securities do not provide periodic interest payments to the holder of the security, these securities are more sensitive to changes in interest rates and are subject to issuer default risk. Therefore, the interest rate risk of zero coupon securities is higher. The AMC may choose to invest in zero coupon securities that offer attractive yields. This may increase the risk of the portfolio. Zero coupon or deep discount bonds are debt obligations that do not entitle the holder to any periodic payment of interest prior to maturity or a specified date when the securities begin paying current interest and therefore, are generally issued and traded at a discount to their face values. The discount depends on the time remaining until maturity or the date when securities begin paying current interest. It also varies depending on the prevailing interest rates, liquidity of the security and the perceived credit risk of the Issuer. The market prices of zero coupon securities are generally more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically. • The Investment strategy at times may receive large number of redemption requests, leading to an asset- liability mismatch and therefore, requiring the investment manager to make a distress sale of the securities leading to realignment of the portfolio and consequently resulting in investment in lower yield instruments. Risks associated with investment in unlisted securities: • Except for any security of an associate or group company, the investment strategy can invest in securities which are not listed on a stock exchange (“unlisted Securities”) which in general are subject to greater price fluctuations, less liquidity and greater risk than those which are traded in the open market. Unlisted securities may lack a liquid secondary market and there can be no assurance that the Investment strategy will realise their investments in unlisted securities at a fair value. • Investment in unrated instruments may involve a risk of default or decline in market value higher than rated instruments due to adverse economic and issuer-specific developments. Such investments display increased price sensitivity to changing interest rates and to a deteriorating economic environment. The market values for unrated investments tends to be more volatile and such securities tend to be less liquid than rated debt securities. (iii) Risks associated with Investing in Structured Obligation (SO) & Credit Enhancement (CE) rated securities The risks factors stated below for the Structured Obligations & Credit Enhancement are in addition to the risk factors associated with debt instruments. • Credit rating agencies assign CE rating to an instrument based on any identifiable credit enhancement for the debt instrument issued by an issuer. The credit enhancement could be in various forms and could include guarantee, shortfall undertaking, letter of comfort, etc. from another entity. This entity could be either related or non-related to the issuer like a bank, financial institution, etc. Credit enhancement could include additional security in form of pledge of shares listed on stock exchanges, etc. SO transactions are asset backed/ mortgage backed securities, securitized paper backed by hypothecation of car loan receivables, securities backed by trade receivables, credit card receivables etc. Hence, for CE rated instruments evaluation of the credit enhancement provider, as well as the issuer is undertaken to determine 25the issuer rating. In case of SO rated issuer, the underlying loan pools or securitization, etc. is assessed to arrive at rating for the issuer. • Liquidity Risk: SO rated securities are often complex structures, with a variety of credit enhancements. Debt securities lack a well-developed secondary market in India, and due to the credit enhanced nature of CE securities as well as structured nature of SO securities, the liquidity in the market for these instruments is adversely affected compared to similar rated debt instruments. Hence, lower liquidity of such instruments, could lead to inability of the investment strategy to sell such debt instruments and generate liquidity for the investment strategy or higher impact cost when such instruments are sold. • Credit Risk: The credit risk of debt instruments which are CE rated is based on the combined strength of the issuer as well as the structure. Hence, any weakness in either the issuer or the structure could have an adverse credit impact on the debt instrument. The weakness in structure could arise due to inability of the investors to enforce the structure due to issues such as legal risk, inability to sell the underlying collateral or enforce guarantee, etc. In case of SO transactions, comingling risk and risk of servicer increases the overall risk for the securitized debt or assets backed transactions. Therefore apart from issuer level credit risk such debt instruments are also susceptible to structure related credit risk. (iv) Risk factors associated with investment in Tri-Party Repo The SIF is a member of securities segment and Triparty Repo trade settlement of the Clearing Corporation of India (CCIL). All transactions of the SIF 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). As per the waterfall mechanism, after the defaulter's margins and the defaulter's contribution to the default fund have been appropriated, CCIL's contribution is used to meet the losses. Post utilization of CCIL's contribution if there is a residual loss, it is appropriated from the default fund contributions of the non-defaulting members. Thus the investment strategy is subject to risk of the initial margin and default fund contribution being invoked in the event of failure of any settlement obligations. In addition, the fund contribution is allowed to be used to meet the residual loss in case of default by the other clearing member (the defaulting member). 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 fund is exposed to the extent of its contribution to the default fund of CCIL, in the event that the contribution of the fund is called upon to absorb settlement/default losses of another member by CCIL, as a result the investment strategy may lose an amount equivalent to its contribution to the default fund. (v) Risk factors associated with Repo in Corporate Debt Securities In repo transactions, also known as a repo or sale repurchase agreement, securities are sold with the seller agreeing to buy them back at later date. The repurchase price should be greater than the original sale price, the difference effectively representing interest. A repo in corporate debt securities is economically similar to a secured loan, with the buyer receiving corporate debt securities as collateral to protect against default. Some of the risks associated with repo in corporate debt are given below: • Counterparty Risk: Counterparty risk refers to the inability of the seller to meet the obligation to buy back securities at the contracted price on the contracted date. In case of over the counter (OTC) repo trades, the investment manager will endeavour to manage counterparty risk by dealing only with counterparties having strong credit profiles. Also, the counter-party risk is to an extent mitigated by taking collateral equivalent in value to the transaction after knocking off a minimum haircut on the intrinsic value of the collateral. In the event of default by the repo counterparty, the investment strategy shall have recourse to the corporate debt securities. In case the repo transaction is executed on exchange platform approved by RBI/SEBI, the exchange may also provide settlement guarantee. • Collateral Risk: Collateral risk arises when the market value of the securities is inadequate to meet the repo obligations. This risk can be partly mitigated by restricting participation in repo transactions only in corporate debt securities which are approved by credit risk team. Additionally, to address the risk related to reduction in market value of corporate debt security held as collateral due to credit rating downgrade, the repo contract can incorporate either an early termination of the repo agreement or call for fresh margin to meet the minimum haircut requirement or call for replacement of security with eligible security. Moreover, the investment manager may apply a higher haircut on the underlying security than required as per RBI/SEBI regulation to adjust for the illiquidity and interest rate risk on the underlying instrument. To 26mitigate the risk of price reduction due to interest rate changes, the adequacy of the collateral can be monitored on a daily basis by considering the daily market value & applying the prescribed haircut. The investment manager or the exchange can then arrange for additional collateral from the counterparty, within a prespecified period. If the counterparty is not able to top-up either in form of cash / collateral,it would tantamount to early termination of the repo agreement, and the outstanding amount can be recovered by sale of collateral. (vi) Risk factors associated with investing in Non- Convertible Preference Shares • Credit Risk: Credit risk is the risk that an issuer will be unable to meet its obligation of payment of dividend and/ or redemption of principal amount on the due date. Further, for non-cumulative preference shares, issuer also has an option to not pay dividends on preference shares in case of inadequate profits in any year. • Liquidity Risk: The preference shares generally have limited secondary market liquidity and thus we may be forced to hold the instrument till maturity. • Unsecured in nature - Preference shares are unsecured in nature and rank lower than secured and unsecured debt in hierarchy of payments in case of liquidation. Thus there is significant risk of capital erosion in case the company goes into liquidation. (vii) Related to WSIF Hybrid Long-Short Investment Strategy A. The primary objective of WSIF Hybrid Long-Short Investment Strategy is to achieve a blend of capital appreciation and income generation by maintaining a balanced exposure to equity and debt instruments, with a minimum of 25% in each, while utilizing up to 25% in short derivative positions to enhance returns and manage risk efficiently. The identification and execution of long and short strategies involve inherent uncertainties, and no assurance can be given that the Fund Manager will successfully locate profitable opportunities or accurately predict market movements. Market conditions, such as reduced volatility or limited pricing inefficiencies, may constrain the fund’s ability to generate alpha, potentially impacting returns. The fund’s active management approach may lead to high portfolio turnover, resulting in elevated transaction costs. Additionally, there may be instances where market liquidity is insufficient to execute trades at optimal prices, increasing the cost and risk of implementing the strategy. While the portfolio typically includes liquid equities, differences in stock liquidity can pose challenges, making the long-short strategy complex, costly, and occasionally difficult to execute effectively. B. Risk factors associated with potential change in tax structure An equity oriented fund has been defined under the Income Tax Act as a investment strategy where the investible funds are invested in equity shares of domestic companies to the extent of more than 65 per cent of the total assets of such fund. The percentage of equity shareholding of the fund shall be computed with reference to the annual average of the monthly averages of the opening and closing figures. As per the asset allocation, under normal circumstances, the Investment strategy shall invest minimum 80% of its total assets in Equity and Equity Related instruments. However, under defensive circumstances, where the debt / money market instruments offer better returns than the arbitrage opportunities available in cash and derivatives segments of equity markets, then the investment manager may choose to have a lower equity exposure for a prolonged period. In such a case, the fund may be regarded as a debt oriented fund as per extant Income Tax laws and consequently may not enjoy the favourable tax provisions available for equity oriented funds in that particular financial year. In such situation, a Unitholder who has redeemed the units during that financial year may end up paying capital gain tax as applicable to a debt fund and consequently would also not be able to derive any benefit of STT paid at the time of redemption. In view of the forgoing and individual nature of tax consequences, each Unit holder is advised to consult his / her own professional tax advisor. (viii) General Risk factors • Trading volumes, settlement periods and transfer procedures may restrict the liquidity of the investments made by the Investment strategy. Different segments of the Indian financial markets have different settlement periods and such periods may be extended significantly by unforeseen circumstances leading to delays in receipt of proceeds from sale of securities. The NAV of the Units of the Investment strategy can go up or down because of various factors that affect the capital markets in general. • As the liquidity of the investments made by the Investment strategy could, at times, be restricted by trading volumes and settlement periods, the time taken by the Fund for redemption of Units may be significant in the event of an inordinately large number of redemption requests or restructuring of the Investment strategy. In view of the above, the Trustee has the right, in its sole discretion, to limit redemptions (including 27suspending redemptions) under certain circumstances. • At times, due to the forces and factors affecting the capital market, the Investment strategy may not be able to invest in securities falling within its investment objective resulting in holding the monies collected by it in cash or cash equivalent or invest the same in other permissible securities / investments amounting to substantial reduction in the earning capability of the Investment strategy. The Investment strategy may retain certain investments in cash or cash equivalents for its day-to-day liquidity requirements. • Investment strategy to be adopted by the Investment strategy may carry the risk of significant variance between the portfolio allocation of the Investment strategy and the Benchmark particularly over a short to medium term period. • Performance of the Investment strategy may be affected by political, social, and economic developments, which may include changes in government policies, diplomatic conditions, and taxation policies. SO.11 SO.28 (ix) Risk factors associated with investing in Derivatives • The AMC, on behalf of the Investment strategy may use various derivative products, from time to time, in an attempt to protect the value of the portfolio and enhance Unit holders' interest. Derivative products are specialized instruments that require investment techniques and risk analysis different from those associated with stocks and bonds. The use of a derivative requires an understanding not only of the underlying instrument but of the derivative itself. Other risks include, the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the inability of derivatives to correlate perfectly with underlying assets, rates and indices. • Derivative products are leveraged instruments and can provide disproportionate gains as well as disproportionate losses to the investor. Execution of such strategies depends upon the ability of the fund manager to identify such opportunities. Identification and execution of the strategies to be pursued by the fund manager involve uncertainty and decision of fund manager may not always be profitable. No assurance can be given that the fund manager will be able to identify or execute such strategies. • The risks associated with the use of derivatives are different from or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. • Credit Risk: The credit risk in derivative transaction is the risk that the counter party will default on its obligations and is generally low, as there is no exchange of principal amounts in a derivative transaction • Market Risk: Market movements may adversely affect the pricing and settlement of derivatives. • Illiquidity risk: This is the risk that a derivative cannot be sold or purchased quickly enough at a fair price, due to lack of liquidity in the market. (x) Risks Factors associated with investing in Derivatives for short exposure • Derivative strategies are designed to capitalize on price movements in underlying assets. However, significant market volatility may lead to substantial losses, particularly in directional strategies or uncovered positions, where unexpected price swings could impact performance. • Strategies employing options, are subject to time decay, where the value of options decreases as expiration nears. If anticipated price movements do not materialize within the option’s lifespan, these positions may become unprofitable, affecting returns. • Derivative trading involves costs such as premiums, commissions, and bid-ask spreads, which can erode returns. This is particularly relevant for strategies with narrow profit margins, or complex strategies like spreads and combinations requiring multiple transactions. • Certain derivatives may exhibit lower liquidity, resulting in wider bid-ask spreads or challenges in entering or exiting positions at optimal prices. This may increase costs or complicate trade execution, especially in advanced strategies like diagonal spreads or synthetic positions. • Sudden market events or shifts in implied volatility can disrupt strategies, which rely on the underlying asset remaining within a specific price range. Misalignment with market conditions may lead to losses. • Strategies involving short positions, such as synthetic stock or income generation through writing options, may require significant margin reserves. Failure to meet margin obligations could result in forced liquidations at unfavorable prices, impacting portfolio performance. 28(xi) Additional Risk viz. Basis Risk associated with imperfect hedging using Interest Rate Futures (IRF): The imperfect correlation between the prices of securities in the portfolio and the IRF contract used to hedge part of the portfolio leads to basis risk. Thus, the loss on the portfolio may not exactly match the gain from the hedge position entered using the IRF. (xii) Risk factors associated with Securities Lending: As with other modes of extensions of credit, there are risks inherent to securities lending, including the risk of failure of the other party, in this case the approved intermediary, to comply with the terms of the agreement entered into between the lender of securities i.e. the Investment strategy and the approved intermediary. Such failure can result in the possible loss of rights to the collateral put up by the borrower of the securities, the inability of the approved intermediary to return the securities deposited by the lender and the possible loss of any corporate benefits accruing to the lender from the securities deposited with the approved intermediary. The investment strategy may not be able to sell lent out securities, which can lead to temporary illiquidity & loss of opportunity. (xiii) Risk factors associated with investing in Securitized Debt : The Risks involved in Securitized Papers described below are the principal ones and does not represent that the statement of risks set out hereunder is exhaustive. • Limited Liquidity & Price Risk There is no assurance that a deep secondary market will develop for the Certificates. This could limit the ability of the investor to resell them. • Limited Recourse, Delinquency and Credit Risk The Credit Enhancement stipulated represents a limited loss cover to the Investors. These Certificates represent an undivided beneficial interest in the underlying receivables and do not represent an obligation of either the Issuer or the Seller or the originator, or the parent or any affiliate of the Seller, Issuer and Originator. No financial recourse is available to the Certificate Holders against the Investors' Representative. Delinquencies and credit losses may cause depletion of the amount available under the Credit Enhancement and thereby the Investor Payouts to the Certificate Holders may get affected if the amount available in the Credit Enhancement facility is not enough to cover the shortfall. On persistent default of a Obligor to repay his obligation, the Servicer may repossess and sell the Asset. However many factors may affect, delay or prevent the repossession of such Asset or the length of time required to realise the sale proceeds on such sales. In addition, the price at which such Asset may be sold may be lower than the amount due from that Obligor. • Risks due to possible prepayments and Charge Offs In the event of prepayments, investors may be exposed to changes in tenor and yield. Also, any Charge Offs would result in the reduction in the tenor of the Pass Through Certificates (PTCs). • Bankruptcy of Bank with Liquidity facility If the Bank with Liquidity facility, becomes subject to bankruptcy proceedings then an investor could experience losses or delays in the payments. • Risk of Co-mingling With respect to the Certificates, the Servicer will deposit all payments received from the Obligors into the Collection Account. However, there could be a time gap between collection by a Servicer and depositing the same into the Collection account especially considering that some of the collections may be in the form of cash. In this interim period, collections from the Loan Agreements may not be segregated from other funds of originator. If originator in its capacity as Servicer fails to remit such funds due to Investors, the Investors may be exposed to a potential loss. (xiv) Risk factors associated with investments in Perpetual Debt nstrument (PDI) Perpetual Debt instruments are issued by Banks, NBFCs and corporates to improve their capital profile. Some of the PDIs issued by Banks which are governed by the RBI guidelines for Basel III Capital Regulations are referred to as Additional Tier I (AT1 bonds). While there are no regulatory guidelines for issuance of PDIs by corporate bodies, NBFCs issue these bonds as per guidelines issued by RBI. The instruments are treated as perpetual in nature as there is no fixed maturity date. The key risks associated with these instruments are highlighted below: Key Risk Factors: - • Risk on coupon servicing Banks As per the terms of the instruments, Banks may have discretion at all times to cancel distributions/ payment of 29coupons. In the event of non-availability of adequate distributable reserves and surpluses or inadequacy in terms of capital requirements, RBI may not allow banks to make payment of coupons. NBFCs While NBFCs may have discretion at all times to cancel payment of coupon, coupon can also be deferred (instead of being cancelled), in case paying the coupon leads to breach of capital ratios. Corporates Corporates usually have discretion to defer the payment of coupon. However, the coupon is usually cumulative and any deferred coupon shall accrue interest at the original coupon rate of the PDI. • Risk of write-down or conversion into equity Banks As per the regulatory requirements, Banks have to maintain a minimum Common Equity Tier-1 (CET-1) ratio of Risk Weighted Assets (RWAs), failing which the AT-1 bonds can get written down. Further, AT-1 Bonds are liable to be written down or converted to common equity, at the discretion of RBI, in the event of Point of Non Viability Trigger (PONV). PONV is a point, determined by RBI, when a bank is deemed to have become non-viable unless there is a write off/ conversion to equity of AT-1 Bonds or a public sector capital injection happens. The write off/conversion has to occur prior to public sector injection of capital. This risk is not applicable in case of NBFCs and Corporates. • Risk of instrument not being called by the Issuer Banks The issuing banks have an option to call back the instrument after minimum specified period from the date of issuance and thereafter, subject to meeting the RBI guidelines. However, if the bank does not exercise the call on first call date, the Investment strategy may have to hold the instruments for a period beyond the first call exercise date. NBFCs The NBFC issuer has an option to call back the instrument after minimum specific period as per the regulatory requirement from date of issuance and thereafter, subject to meeting the RBI guidelines. However, if the NBFC does not exercise the call option the Investment strategy may have to hold the instruments for a period beyond the first call exercise date. Corporates There is no minimum period for call date. However, if the corporate does not exercise the call option, the Investment strategy may have to hold the instruments for a period beyond the call exercise date. (xv) Risk factors associated with Short Selling Short-selling is the sale of shares which are not owned by the seller at the time of trade. Instead, he borrows it from someone who already owns it. Later, the short seller buys back the stock he shorted and returns the stock to close out the loan. If the price of the stock corrects, Short seller can buy the stock back for less than he received for selling it and earn profit (the difference between higher short sale price and the lower purchase price).If the price of stock appreciates, short selling results in loss. Thus, Short positions carry the risk of losing money and these losses may grow theoretically unlimited if the price increases without limit and shall result into major losses in the portfolio. (xvi) Risk factors associated with processing of transaction through Stock Exchange Mechanism The trading mechanism introduced by the stock exchange(s) is configured to accept and process transactions for fund units in both Physical and Demat Form. The allotment and/or redemption of Units through NSE and/or BSE or any other recognised stock exchange(s), on any Business Day will depend upon the modalities of processing viz. collection of application form, order processing/settlement, etc. upon which the Fund has no control. Moreover, transactions conducted through the stock exchange mechanism shall be governed by the operating guidelines and directives issued by respective recognized stock exchange(s). (xvii) Risk factors associated with REITs and InvITs: • Price Risk: Securities/Instruments of REITs and InvITs are volatile and prone to price fluctuations on a daily basis owing to market movements. The extent of fall or rise in the prices is a fluctuation in general market conditions, factors and forces affecting capital market, Real Estate and Infrastructure sectors, level of interest rates, trading volumes, settlement periods and transfer procedures. • Interest Rate Risk: Securities/Instruments of REITs and InvITs run interest rate risk. Generally, when interest rates rise, prices of units fall and when interest rates drop, such prices increase. • Credit Risk: Credit risk means that the issuer of a REIT/InvIT security/ instrument may default on interest payment or even on paying back the principal amount on maturity. Securities/ Instruments of REITs and InvITs are likely to have volatile cash flows as the repayment dates would not necessarily be pre scheduled. 30• Liquidity Risk: This refers to the ease with which securities/instruments of REITs/InvITs can be sold. There is no assurance that an active secondary market will develop or be maintained. Hence there would be time when trading in the units could be infrequent. The subsequent valuation of illiquid units may reflect a discount from the market price of comparable securities/instruments for which a liquid market exists. As these products are new to the market they are likely to be exposed to liquidity risk. • Reinvestment Risk: Investments in securities/instruments of REITs and InvITs may carry reinvestment risk as there could be repatriation of funds by the Trusts in form of buyback of units or Dividend pay-outs, etc. Consequently, the proceeds may get invested in assets providing lower returns. • Legal and Regulatory Risk: The regulatory framework governing investments in securities/instruments of REITs and InvITs comprises a relatively new set of regulations and is therefore untested, interpretation and enforcement by regulators and courts involves uncertainties. Presently, it is difficult to forecast as to how any new laws, regulations or standards or future amendments will affect the issuers of REITs/InvITs and the sector as a whole. Furthermore, no assurance can be given that the regulatory system will not change in a way that will impair the ability of the Issuers to comply with the regulations, conduct the business, compete effectively or make distributions. (xviii) Risk factors associated for investments in SIF Investment strategy 1. Movements in the Net Asset Value (NAV) of these Investment strategy may impact the performance. Any change in the investment policies or fundamental attributes of these Investment strategies will affect the performance of the Investment strategy to the extent of investment in such investment strategy. 2. Redemptions by in these Investment strategy would be subject to applicable exit loads. (xix) Risk Factors Associated with Investments in Credit Default Swaps (CDS) • Model Risk: Valuing CDS requires complex models, especially for spread curves, hazard rates, and correlation in CDS indices. • Liquidity Risk: CDS markets can become illiquid, especially in times of market stress. Wide bid-ask spreads and difficulty exiting positions can lead to unexpected losses or mark-to-market issues. • Settlement Risk: Following a credit event, settlement (especially physical settlement) can be operationally complex C. Risk mitigation strategies SO.9 Equity: • Liquidity Risk: The fund will try to maintain a proper asset-liability match to ensure redemption payments are made on time and not affected by illiquidity of the underlying stocks. • Concentration Risk: The investment strategy will endeavour to have a well-diversified equity portfolio comprising stocks across various sectors of the economy. This would aid in managing concentration risk and sector-specific risks. Generally, diversification across market cap segments also aids in managing volatility and ensuring adequate liquidity at all times. Debt • Interest Rate Risk: The Fund seeks to mitigate this risk by keeping the maturity of the investment strategy in line with the interest rate expectations. • Credit risk or default risk: Management analysis will be used for identifying company specific risks. Management’s past track record will also be studied. In order to assess financial risk a detailed assessment of the issuer’s financial statements will be undertaken. • Reinvestment Risk: Reinvestment risks will be limited to the extent of coupons received on debt instruments, which will be a very small portion of the portfolio value. • The Investment strategy may invest in derivative for the purpose of hedging, portfolio balancing and other purposes as may be permitted under the Regulations. Interest Rate Swaps will be done with approved counter parties under pre-approved ISDA agreements. Interest rate swaps and other derivative instruments will be used as per local (RBI and SEBI) regulatory guidelines. • Liquidity or Marketability Risk: Liquidity risk may be high on select securities due to duration and/or issue structure and/ or issuer-specific risk. Liquidity Risk can be partly mitigated by diversification, staggering of maturities as well as internal risk controls that lean towards purchase of liquid securities. Trading in Derivatives 31The Investment strategy may invest in derivatives based on the opportunities available subject to the guidelines provided by SEBI from time to time and in line with the overall investment objective of the Investment strategy. The Investment strategy may invest in derivative instruments like Futures, Options, Interest Rate Swaps, Forward Rate Agreements, and such other derivative instruments as may be permitted by SEBI from time to time. Derivative investments may be undertaken to hedge the portfolio, re- balance the same or to undertake any other strategy as permitted under SEBI (MF) Regulations from time to time. Hedging could be perfect or imperfect. In case the Investment strategy has investment in foreign securities, then it may hedge the exchange rate risk on all receivables on these instruments through various derivative products such as forwards, currency futures/ options, etc. Derivatives can be traded over the exchange or can be structured between two counter-parties. Those transacted over the exchange are called Exchange Traded derivatives whereas the other category is referred to as OTC (Over the Counter) derivatives. Some of the differences of these two derivative categories are as under: Exchange traded derivatives: These are quoted on the exchanges like any other traded asset class. The most common amongst these are the Index Futures, Index Options, Stock Futures and Options on individual equities / securities. The basic form of the futures contract is similar to that of the forward contract, a futures contract obligates its owner to purchase a specified asset at a specified exercise price on the contract maturity date. Futures are cash-settled and are traded only in organised exchanges. Exchange traded derivatives are standardised in terms of amount and delivery date. Standardisation and transparency generally ensures a liquid market together with narrower spreads. On the other hand, for delivery dates far in the future, there may be insufficient liquidity in the futures market whereas an OTC price may be available. OTC derivatives: OTC derivatives require the two parties engaging in a derivatives transaction to come together through a process of negotiation. It is a derivative that is customised in terms of structure, amount, tenor, underlying assets, collateral etc. Some of the common examples are interest rate and currency swaps, Forward Rate Agreements (FRAs) etc. Trading in derivatives for short exposure • Investment team will select derivatives with high liquidity to minimize the impact of wide bid-ask spreads, ensuring smoother entry and exit from positions. This reduces transaction costs and enables trade execution at desired prices, especially for complex strategies requiring multiple transactions. • Investment team will enforce rigorous risk management protocols to limit potential losses, particularly in speculative or volatility-sensitive strategies. By setting predefined loss thresholds for automatic position exits, AMC will prevent significant drawdowns and preserve capital. • To reduce concentration risk, investment team will diversify its positions across various assets, strategies, and expiration dates. This approach mitigates the impact of unfavorable price movements in any single position, enhancing portfolio stability in volatile market conditions. • Investment team will ensure sufficient margin reserves to cover potential obligations, especially for strategies involving short positions. This prevents forced liquidations at unfavorable prices and supports portfolio stability during adverse market movements. • Investment team will continuously monitor implied volatility and market trends to make dynamic adjustments to positions. By exiting options early to minimize time decay or rebalancing complex strategies to align with market trends, AMC will enhance profitability and reduce exposure to unexpected market shifts. • Investment team will select cost-effective derivatives and partner with low-cost brokers to minimize transaction expenses. This ensures that premiums and commissions do not erode returns, particularly in high-frequency or low- margin strategies like arbitrage, preserving overall profitability. Exposure to Derivatives Please refer to Asset Allocation of the investment strategy for the details of maximum exposure to investment in Derivatives by the Investment strategy. Exposure Limits The exposure limits for trading in derivatives by SIF are as specified by SEBI vide its Master Circular for Mutual Fund dated March 20, 2026, as amended from time to time are as follows: 1. The cumulative gross exposure through equity, debt, derivative positions (including fixed income derivatives), repo transactions and credit default swaps in corporate debt securities, Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs), other permitted securities/assets and such other securities/assets as may be permitted by SEBI from time to time shall not exceed 100% of the net assets of the investment strategy. 2. SIF shall not write options or purchase instruments with embedded written options. 323. The total exposure related to option premium paid must not exceed 20% of the net assets of the investment strategy. 4. Cash or cash equivalents i.e. Government Securities, T-Bills and Repo on Government Securities having residual maturity of less than 91 days may be treated as not creating any exposure. 5. Exposure due to hedging positions may not be included in the above mentioned limits subject to the following: • Hedging positions are the derivative positions that reduce possible losses on an existing position in securities and till the existing position remains. • Hedging positions cannot be taken for existing derivative positions. Exposure due to such positions shall have to be added and treated under limits mentioned in Point 1. • Any derivative instrument used to hedge has the same underlying security as the existing position being hedged. • The quantity of underlying associated with the derivative position taken for hedging purposes does not exceed the quantity of the existing position against which hedge has been taken. 6. (a) SIF may enter into plain vanilla Interest Rate Swaps (IRS) for hedging purposes. The value of the notional principal in such cases must not exceed the value of respective existing assets being hedged by the investment strategy. (b) In case of participation in IRS is through over the counter transactions, the counter party has to be an entity recognized as a market maker by RBI and exposure to a single counterparty in such transactions should not exceed 10% of the net assets of the investment strategy. However, if SIF are transacting in IRS through an electronic trading platform offered by the Clearing Corporation of India Ltd. (CCIL) and CCIL is the central counterparty for such transactions guaranteeing settlement, the single counterparty limit of 10% shall not be applicable. 7. Exposure due to derivative positions taken for hedging purposes in excess of the underlying position against which the hedging position has been taken, shall be treated under the limits mentioned in point 8. Definition of Exposure in case of Derivative Positions: Each position taken in derivatives shall have an associated exposure as defined under. Exposure is the maximum possible loss that may occur on a position. However, certain derivative positions may theoretically have unlimited possible loss. Exposure in derivative positions shall be computed as follows: Position Exposure Long Future Futures Price * Lot Size * Number of Contracts Short Future Futures Price * Lot Size * Number of Contracts Option Bought Option Premium Paid * Lot Size * Number of Contracts Option Sold Market price of the underlying * Lot size * Number of contracts 9. In case of any other derivative exposure, the exposure shall be calculated as the notional market value of the contract. 10. The total exposure at any point of time shall be the sum of exposure through instruments in both the cash market and derivatives market II. Information about the investment strategy: SO.29 A. Where will the investment strategy invest – In terms of Regulation 51of SEBI (MF) Regulations, detailed description of the instruments as permitted under Regulation 39 for investment strategies (including overview of debt markets in India, if applicable) mentioned in Section I The corpus of the investment strategy, subject to the enabling provisions of asset allocation pattern, will be invested in securities/ instruments which will include but not limited to: Equity and equity related instruments 1. Equity Instruments and Equity related instruments including convertible bonds and debentures and warrants carrying the right to obtain equity shares 2.

Debt Instruments having Structured Obligation (SO rating) and / or Credit Enhancements (CE rating) 9. Debt Derivative Instrument like Interest Rate Swaps, Forward Rate Agreement and such other derivative instruments as may be permitted under the Regulations 10. Certificate of Deposits 11. Commercial Paper 12. Treasury Bills 13. Tri-party Repo 14. Reverse Repo in securities other than corporate debt securities 15. Cash Management Bills 16. Bills Rediscounting 17. Units of Debt Schemes of Mutual Fund 18. Pending deployment of funds, the Investment strategy may park funds in Short Term Deposits of Scheduled commercial banks 19. Obligations/ Term Deposits of banks (both public and private sector) and development financial institutions to the extent permissible under SEBI Regulations 20. Credit default swaps 21. Any other securities as permitted by SEBI/RBI from time to time *As per note 2 of clause 13.1 of SEBI Master Circular on Mutual Funds dated March 20, 2026, Non-Convertible Preference Shares (NCPS) shall be treated as Debt instruments. Securitised debt may be held up to 25% of debt portfolio. The securities/debt instruments mentioned above could be listed or unlisted, secured or unsecured, rated and of varying maturities and other terms of issue. The securities may be acquired through Initial Public Offerings (IPOs), secondary market operations, private placement, rights offer or negotiated deals. The Investment strategies may also enter into repurchase and reverse repurchase obligations in all securities held by it as per guidelines/regulations applicable to such transactions. Investment in IPOs/FPO/OFS/QIBs: This strategy attempts to make investments in companies through Initial Public offers or secondary offers through Follow-on Public Offers or OFS or Qualified Institutional Buyers route. Transfer of investments from one strategy to another strategy in the same SIF, shall be allowed, in lines with clause 13.19 of SEBI Master Circular on Mutual Funds dated March 20, 2026. SO. 16 Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) & Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InVITs) Investments in Derivative Instruments As part of the Fund Management process, the Trustee may permit the use of derivative instruments such as index futures, stock futures and options contracts, warrants, convertible securities, swap agreements, Forward Rate Agreement (FRA) or any other derivative instruments that are permissible or may be permissible in future under applicable regulations and such investments shall be in accordance with the investment objectives of the investment strategy. Index futures/options are meant to be an efficient way of buying/selling an index compared to buying/selling a portfolio of physical shares representing an index for ease of execution and settlement. Index futures/options can be an efficient way of achieving the investment strategy’s investment objective. On the fixed income side, an interest rate swap agreement from fixed rate to floating rate is an example of how derivatives can be an effective hedge for the portfolio in a rising interest rate environment. 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. Derivatives may be high risk - high return instruments, upon leveraging. As they are highly leveraged, a small price movement in the underlying security could have a large impact on their value and may also result in a loss. Position Limits: The investment strategy may enter into derivative transactions in line with the guidelines prescribed by SEBI from time to time. The exposure limit per scrip/instrument shall be to the extent permitted by the SEBI Regulation for the time being in force. These limits will be reviewed by the AMC from time to time. Trading in derivatives by the investment strategy shall be restricted to hedging, portfolio balancing purposes and 34upto 25% unhedged short derivative exposure. Currently, the position limits for Specialized Investment Fund and its investment startegies, as permitted by the SEBI Regulations, are as under: The cumulative gross exposure through equity, debt and derivative positions (including commodity and fixed income derivatives), and repo transactions in corporate debt securities, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs), other permitted securities/assets and such other securities/assets as may be permitted by SEBI from time to time) should not exceed 100% of the net assets of the investment strategy. Exposure due to hedging positions may not be included in the above mentioned limit subject to the following: • Hedging positions are the derivative positions that reduce possible losses on an existing position in securities and till the existing position remains. • Hedging positions cannot be taken for existing derivative positions. Exposure due to such positions shall have to be added and treated under limits mentioned above. • Any derivative instrument used to hedge has the same underlying security as the existing position being hedged. • The quantity of underlying associated with the derivative position taken for hedging purposes does not exceed the quantity of the existing position against which hedge has been taken. Exposure due to derivative positions taken for hedging purposes in excess of the underlying position against which the hedging position has been taken, shall be treated under the limits mentioned above. Further, the total exposure related to option premium paid must not exceed 20% of the net assets of the investment strategy. Pursuant to SEBI letter dated November 03, 2021, Cash or cash equivalents shall consist of following securities having residual maturity of less than 91 days which are not considered for the purpose of calculating gross exposure limit: 1) Government Securities 2) T-Bills 3) Repo on Government Securities Exposure to Derivatives: The exposure limits for trading in derivatives by Specialized Investment Fund specified by SEBI vide its clause 8.5, 13.15 and 21.6 of Master Circular dated March 20, 2026 and as amended from time to time are as follows: The Investment strategy may take position in derivative instruments like Futures, Options, and such other derivative instruments as may be permitted by SEBI from time to time. Equity Derivatives including Index/Stock Futures & Options - Equity derivatives are financial instruments, generally traded on an exchange, the price of which is directly dependent upon (i.e. “derived from”) the value of equity shares or equity indices. Derivatives involve the trading of rights or obligations based on the underlying, but do not directly transfer property. Futures - Futures are exchange-traded contracts to sell or buy financial instruments for future delivery at an agreed price. There is an agreement to buy or sell a specified quantity of financial instrument on a designated future date at a price agreed upon by the buyer and seller at the time of entering into a contract. To make trading possible, the exchange specifies certain standardized features of the contract. A futures contract involves an obligation on both the parties to fulfill the terms of the contract. SEBI has permitted futures contracts on indices and individual stocks with maturity of 1 month, 2 months and 3 months on a rolling basis. The futures contracts are settled on last Thursday (or immediately preceding trading day if Thursday is a trading holiday) of each month. The final settlement price is the closing price of the underlying stock(s)/index. However, pursuant to SEBI Circular No. SEBI/HO/MRD/DOPI/ CIR/P/2018/161 dated December 31, 2018, stock derivatives are physically settled. Option - Option is a contract which provides the buyer of the option (also called holder) the right, without the obligation, to buy or sell a specified asset at the agreed price on or upto a particular date. For acquiring this privilege, the buyer pays a premium (fee) to the seller. The seller on the other hand has the obligation to buy or sell specified asset at the agreed price and for this obligation he receives a premium. The premium is determined by considering number of factors such as the market price of the underlying asset/security, number of days to expiry, risk free rate of return, strike price of the option and the volatility of the underlying 35asset. Option contracts are of two types viz: Call Option - The option that gives the buyer the right to buy a specified quantity of the underlying asset at the strike price is a call option. The buyer of the call option (known as the holder of call option) can call upon the seller of the option (writer of the option) and buy from him the underlying asset at the agreed price at any time on or before the expiry of the option. The seller (writer of the option) on the other hand has the obligation to sell the underlying asset if the buyer of the call option decides to exercise his option to buy. Put Option - The right to sell is called put option. A Put option gives the holder (buyer) the right to sell specified quantity of the underlying asset at the strike price. The seller of the put option (one who is short Put) however, has the obligation to buy the underlying asset at the strike price if the buyer decides to exercise his option to sell. There are two kinds of options based on the date of exercise of right. The first is the European Option which can be exercised only on the maturity date. The second is the American Option which can be exercised on or before the maturity date. Example on options: Buying a Call Option: Assume that the investment strategy buys a call option at the strike price of Rs. 2,000 and pays a premium of Rs. 100. If the market price of the underlying stock is Rs. 1,900, the investment strategy will not exercise the option and it shall lose the premium of Rs. 100. Thus, in the above example, the loss for the investment strategy, as the buyer of the option, is limited to the premium paid by him while the gains are unlimited. Buying a Put Option: Assume that the investment strategy buys a put option at the strike price of Rs. 2,000 and pays a premium of Rs. 100.If the market price of the underlying stock decreases to Rs. 1,850 the investment strategy would be protected from the downside and would be able to gain Rs. 50 (Strike Price – Spot Price of underlying – Premium paid) whereas if the stock price moves up to say Rs. 2,150 the investment strategy may let the option expire and forego the premium of Rs. 100. Writing a Call Option: Assume that the investment strategy writes a call option at the strike price of Rs. 2,050 and earns a premium of Rs.100. If the market price of the underlying stock on the date of expiry increases to Rs. 2,200 (i.e. more than Rs. 2,050) then the option is exercised. The investment strategy earns the premium of Rs. 100 but loses the difference between the market price and the exercise price i.e. Rs. 150. In case the market price of the underlying stock decreases to Rs. 2,000, the investment strategy gets to keep the premium of Rs. 100. Writing a Put Option: Assume that the investment strategy writes a put option at the strike price of Rs. 2,050 and earns a premium of Rs. 50. If the market value of the underlying stock decreases to Rs. 2,000 the put option will be exercised and the investment strategy will earn the premium of Rs. 50 but loses the difference between the exercise price and the market price which is Rs. 50. However, if the market price of the underlying stock is Rs. 2,100, the option-holder will not exercise the option. As a result of which the option will expire and the investment strategy will earn the premium income of Rs. 50. The option premium received shall be the part of covered call strategy and shall be invested in Debt and once the contract expires it shall get adjusted in NAV of the investment strategy. Exposure on account of call option written under the covered call strategy: The investment strategy will write call options only under a covered call strategy for constituent stocks of NIFTY 50 and BSE SENSEX subject to the following: a) The total notional value (taking into account strike price as well as premium value) of call options written shall not exceed 15% of the total market value of the underlying equity shares held at all points in time. In case of any passive breach, the investment strategy shall have 7 trading days to rebalance the portfolio. During the rebalancing period, no additional call options will can be written in the investment strategy. b) The total number of shares underlying the call options written shall not exceed 30% of the unencumbered shares of the particular company held in the investment strategy at all points in time. The unencumbered shares in a investment strategy shall mean shares that are not part of Securities Lending and Borrowing Mechanism (SLBM), margin or any other kind of encumbrances. c) In case the investment strategy needs to sell securities on which a call option is written under a covered call strategy, it must ensure compliance with (a) and (b) above while selling the securities d) The investment strategy shall not write a call option without holding the underlying equity shares. A call option can be written only on shares which are not hedged using other derivative contracts. e) The total gross exposure related to option premium paid and received will not exceed 20% of the net assets 36of the investment strategy. In case of any passive breach of the requirement at Paragraph (a), the respective investment strategy shall have 7 trading days to rebalance the portfolio. During the rebalancing period, no additional call options can be written in the said investment strategy. (a) The fund has an existing equity portion invested in a basket of stocks. In case the fund manager has a view that the equity markets are headed downwards, the fund can then hedge the exposure to equity either fully or partially by initiating short futures positions in the index. A similar position in the long direction can also be initiated by the fund to hedge its position of cash and permissible equivalents. The extent to which this can be done is determined by existing guidelines. (b) To the extent permissible by extant regulations the investment strategy can initiate a naked short position in an underlying index future traded on a recognized stock exchange. Further the Investment strategy may use index and stock futures and options to create an unhedged 25% short derivative exposure. For example: The investment strategy may buy put options of stocks that it does not hold in cash market, thus creating a net short exposure. In case the Nifty near month future contract trading at say, 1500, and the fund manager has a view that it will depreciate going forward, the fund can initiate a sale transaction of nifty futures at 1500 without holding a portfolio of equity stocks or any other underlying long equity position. Once the price falls to 1400 after say, 20 days the fund can initiate a square- up transaction by buying the said futures and book a profit of 100. Correspondingly the fund can take a long position without an underlying cash/ cash equivalent subject to the extant regulations. Risks: · The risks associated with index futures are similar to those associated with equity investments. Additional risks could be on account of illiquidity and potential mis– pricing of the futures and the inability of derivatives to correlate perfectly with underlying assets, rates and indices. · The Long position in the Nifty will have as much loss as the gain in the short portfolio if hedged completely and would be vice versa if we were holding long portfolio, short Index. Strategies that employ Stock Futures: Sell Spot Buy Future: To illustrate, let us assume the fund holds the stock XYZ Ltd which is trading @ Rs. 100/- at the spot market. If for some reasons the stock trades at Rs. 98 in the futures, the fund may sell the stock and buy the futures. On the date of expiry, the fund may reverse the transactions (i.e. Buy Spot & Sell futures) and earn a risk-free Rs. 2/- (2% absolute) on its holdings. Since this is done without diluting the fund’s view on the underlying stock, the fund will benefit from any upside move i.e. if on the date of futures expiry, the stock is trading at Rs. 110/- the futures too will be trading at Rs. 110- and the fund will capture the 10% upside the stock provided and along with it the 2% arbitrage too, thereby enhancing returns to 12% Risks: • While Futures markets are typically more liquid than the underlying cash market, there can be no assurance that ready liquidity would exist at all points in time for investment strategy to purchase or close out a specific futures contract. • The risks associated with stock futures are similar to those associated with equity investments. Additional risks could be on account of illiquidity and potential mis– pricing of the futures. Buy Spot Sell Future: If the fund holds a stock XYZ Ltd which trades @ Rs 100/- at the spot market and is trading at Rs. 102/- in the futures market. The fund may buy the spot and sell the futures and earn the premium of Rs.2 /- which is risk-free. However this strategy can be used only when the fund is sitting in cash and is looking at enhancing the returns on the cash. Risks: • While Futures markets are typically more liquid than the underlying cash market, there can be no assurance that ready liquidity would exist at all points in time for investment strategy to purchase or close out a specific futures contract. • Trading in derivatives by the investment strategy shall be restricted to hedging, portfolio balancing and upto 25% unhedged short exposure. • The investment strategy shall fully cover its positions, except for the permissible short position, in the derivatives market by holding underlying securities/cash or cash equivalents/option and/or obligation for acquiring underlying assets to honour the obligations contracted in the derivatives market. • Separate records shall be maintained for holding the cash and cash equivalents/securities for this purpose. • The securities held shall be marked to market by the AMC to ensure full coverage of investments made in derivative products at all time. 37The Investment strategy may take position in derivative instruments like Futures, Options, and such other derivative instruments as may be permitted by SEBI from time to time. Valuation: • The traded derivatives shall be valued at market price in conformity with the stipulations Seventh Schedule of Securities and Exchange Board of India (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 2026. • The valuation of untraded derivatives shall be done in accordance with the valuation method for untraded investments prescribed in Seventh Schedule of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 2026. Interest Rate Swaps: The Indian markets have faced high volatility in debt and equity markets. An interest rate swap is a contractual agreement between two counter-parties to exchange streams of interest amount on a national principal basis. In this, one party agrees to pay a fixed stream of interest amount against receiving a variable or floating stream of interest amount. The variable or floating part is determined on a periodical basis. The Investment strategy may enter into plain vanilla Interest Rate Swaps (IRS) for hedging purposes. The value of the notional principal in such cases must not exceed the value of respective existing assets being hedged by the investment strategy. In case of participation in IRS is through over the counter transactions, the counter party has to be an entity recognized as a market maker by RBI and exposure to a single counterparty in such transactions should not exceed 10% of the net assets of the investment strategy. However, if Investment strategy is transacting in IRS through an electronic trading platform offered by the Clearing Corporation of India Ltd. (CCIL) and CCIL is the central counterparty for such transactions guaranteeing settlement, the single counterparty limit of 10% shall not be applicable. Purpose of Interest Rate Swaps: - The Indian markets have faced high volatility in debt and equity markets. An interest rate swap is a contractual agreement between two counter-parties to exchange streams of interest amount on a national principal basis. In this, one party agrees to pay a fixed stream of interest amount against receiving a variable or floating stream of interest amount. The variable or floating part is determined on a periodical basis. The investment strategy shall use derivative position for hedging the portfolio risk on a nonleverage basis. The investment strategy shall fully cover their positions in the derivatives market by holding underlying securities / cash or cash equivalents / option and / or obligation for acquiring underlying assets to honour the obligations contracted in the derivatives market. Example of an interest rate swap: Entity A has Rs.20 crores, 3 month asset which is being funded through call. Entity B, on the other hand, has deployed Rs.20 crores in overnight call money market, 3 month liability. Both the entities are taking on an interest rate risk. To hedge against the interest rate risk, both the entities can enter into a 3 month swap agreement based on say MIBOR (Mumbai Inter Bank Offered Rate). Through this swap, entity B will receive a fixed pre-agreed rate (say 8%) and pay NSE MIBOR (“the benchmark rate”) which will neutralize the interest rate risk of lending in call. Similarly, entity A will neutralize its interest rate risk from call borrowing as it will pay 8% and receive interest at the benchmark rate. Assuming the swap is for Rs.20 crores 1 September to 1 December, Entity A is a floating rate receiver at the overnight compounded rate and Entity B is a fixed rate receiver. On a daily basis, the benchmark rate fixed by NSE will be tracked by them. On December 1, they will calculate as explained below: Entity A is entitled to receive daily compounded call rate for 92 days and pay 8% fixed. Entity B is entitled to receive interest on Rs.20 crores @ 8% i.e. Rs.40.33 lakhs, and pay the compounded benchmark rate. Thus on December 1, if the total interest on the daily overnight compounded benchmark rate is higher than Rs.40.33 lakhs, entity B will pay entity A the difference and vice versa. Forward Rate Agreement (FRA) A FRA is basically a forward starting IRS. It is an agreement between two parties to pay or receive the difference between an agreed fixed rate (the FRA rate) and the interest rate (reference rate) prevailing on a stipulated future date, based on a notional principal amount for an agreed period. The only cash flow is the difference between the FRA rate and the reference rate. As is the case with IRS, the notional amounts are not exchanged in FRAs. Example: Let us assume that a investment strategy has an investment of Rs.10 crore in an instrument that pays interest linked to NSE Mibor. Since the NSE Mibor would vary daily, the investment strategy is running interest rate risk on its investment and would stand to lose if rates go down. To hedge itself against this risk, the investment strategy could do an IRS where it receives a fixed rate. (assume 10%) for the next 5 days on the notional amount of Rs. 10 crore and pay a floating rate (NSE Mibor). In doing this, the investment strategy would effectively lock itself into a fixed rate of 10% for the next five days. 38The steps would be: 1. The investment strategy enters into an IRS on Rs. 10 crore from December 1 to December 6. It receives a fixed rate of interest at 10% and the counter party receives the floating rate (NSE Mibor). The investment strategy and the counter party exchange a contract of having entered into this IRS. 2. On a daily basis, the NSE Mibor will be tracked by the counterparties to determine the floating rate payable by the investment strategy. 3. On December 6, the counterparties will calculate the following:  The investment strategy will receive interest on Rs. 10 crore at 10% p.a. for 5 days i.e. Rs.1,36,986/-  The investment strategy will pay the compounded NSE Mibor for 5 days by converting its floating rate asset into a fixed rate through the IRS.  If the total interest on the compounded NSE Mibor rate is lower than Rs. 1,36,986/-, the investment strategy will receive the difference from the counterparty and vice- versa. In case the interest on compounded NSE Mibor is higher, the investment strategy would make a lower return than what it would have made had it not undertaken IRS. Risks: Interest rate swaps and Forward Rate Agreement require the maintenance of adequate controls to monitor the transactions entered into, the ability to assess the risk that the derivative adds to the portfolio and the ability to forecast failure of another party (usually referred to as the “counter-party”) to comply with the terms of the derivatives contract. Other risks in using derivatives include the risk of mis-pricing or improper valuation of derivatives, the credit risk where the danger is that of a counter-party failing to honour its commitment, liquidity risk where the danger is that the derivative cannot be sold at prices that reflect the underlying assets, rates and indices, and price risk where the market price may move in adverse fashion. As is clear from the above examples, engaging in derivatives has the potential to help the investment strategy in minimising the portfolio risk and/or improve the overall portfolio returns. These examples are hypothetical in nature and are given for illustration purposes only. The actual returns may vary depending on the market conditions. The AMC retains the right to enter into such derivative transactions as may be permitted by the applicable regulations from time to time. SECURITIES LENDING. If permitted by SEBI under extant regulations/guidelines, the Investment strategy may also engage in scrip lending as provided under Securities Lending 1997, as per Para 13.6 of SEBI Master Circular on Mutual Funds dated March 20,2026 and other applicable guidelines/regulations, as amended from time to time. Scrip lending means lending a security to another person or entity for a fixed period of time, at a negotiated compensation. The security lent will be returned by the borrower on or before the expiry of the stipulated period. The AMC will comply with the required reporting obligations and the Trustee will carry out the reviews required under SEBI/RBI guidelines. Further a maximum of 20% of net assets will be deployed in securities lending and the maximum single party exposure will be restricted to 5%# of net assets outstanding at any point of time. # Presently, Securities lending and borrowing (SLB) is an Exchange traded product. Counterparty is not known for transactions carried out under SLB segment and they are guaranteed by Clearing Corporations and hence do not carry any counter party risk. Accordingly, single party exposure limit will not apply to trades on Stock Exchange platform. Single party exposure limits can only apply in case of OTC (over the counter) trades where counterparty can be identified. Engaging in scrip lending is subject to risks related to fluctuations in the collateral value / settlement / liquidity / counter party. INVESTMENT IN SECURITISED DEBT 1. How the risk profile of securitized debt fits into the risk appetite of the investment strategy Securitization is the fact or process of securitizing assets i.e. the conversion of loans into securities, usually in order to sell them on to other investors. This is done by assigning the loans to a special purpose vehicle (a trust), which in turn issues Pass-Through-Certificates (PTCs). These PTCs are transferable securities with fixed income characteristics. The risk of investing in securitized debt is similar to investing in debt securities. However, it differs mainly in two respects. One, the liquidity of securitized debt is less than similar debt securities. Two, for certain types of securitized debt (backed by mortgages, personal loans, credit card debt, etc.), there is an additional pre-payment risk. Pre-payment risk refers to the possibility that loans are repaid before they are due, which may reduce returns if the re-investment rates are lower than initially envisaged. Because of these additional risks, securitized debt typically offers higher yields than debt securities of similar credit rating and maturity. After considering these additional risks, the investment is no different from investment in a normal debt security. Considering the investment objective of the investment strategy, these instruments with medium risk profile can be considered in the investment universe. Thus if the Fund Manager judges that the additional risks are suitably compensated by the higher returns, he may invest in securitized 39debt up to the limits specified in the asset allocation table. 2. Policy relating to originators based on nature of originator, track record, NPAs, losses in earlier securitized debt, etc Investments in securitized debt will be done based on the assessment of the originator and the securitized debt which is carried out by the Fixed Income team based on the in-house research capabilities as well as the inputs from the independent credit rating agencies and by following internal credit process. Specifically, in order to mitigate the risk at the issuer/originator level the Fixed Income team will consider various factors which will include - - Track record of the originator in the specific business to which the underlying loans correspond to; - size and reach of the issuer/originator; - Collection infrastructure & collection policies; - Post default recovery mechanism & infrastructure; - Underwriting standards & policies followed by originator; - Management information systems; - Financials of the originators including an analysis of leverage, NPAs, earnings, etc.; - Future strategy of the company for the specific business to which the underlying loans correspond to; - Performance track record of Originator’s portfolio & securitized pools, if any; - Utilization of credit enhancement in the prior securitized pools; - The quality of information disseminated by the issuer/ originator; and - The credit enhancement for different types of issuer/originator. Also, assessment of business risk would be carried out which includes - - Outlook for the economy (both domestic and global); and - Outlook for the industry In addition, the fund analyses the specific pool and the broad evaluation parameters are as follows: - Average seasoning of the loans in the pool - Average Loan to value ratio of the loans in the pool - Average ticket size of the loans - Borrower profile (salaried / self employed, etc) - Geographical profile of the pool - Tenure profile of the pool - Obligor concentration - Credit enhancement cover available over and above the historic losses on Originator’s portfolio - Expected Prepayment rate in the specific asset class experienced by the originator in the past as well as the industry - Limited Liquidity and Price Risk. The investment strategy will invest in securitized debt which are rated investment grade and above by a credit rating agency recognized by SEBI. The investment team analyses the Rating Rationale in detail before investing in any PTCs, and also discusses with the concerned rating agency on a need basis. The rating agency would normally take in to consideration the following factors while rating a securitized debt: Credit risk at the asset/originator/portfolio/pool level - The quality of the pool is a crucial element in assessing credit risk. In the Indian context, generally, pools are ‘cherry- picked’ using positive selection criteria. To protect the investor from adverse selection of pool contracts, the rating agencies normally take into consideration pool characteristics such as pool seasoning (seasoning represents the number of installments paid by borrower till date: higher seasoning represents better quality), over dues at the time of selection and Loan to Value (LTV). To assess its risk profile vis-à-vis the overall portfolio, the pool is analyzed with regard to geographical location, borrower profile, LTV, and tenure. Counterparty risk - This includes Servicer Risk, co-mingling risk etc. The rating agencies generally mitigate such risks though the usage of stringent counterparty selection and replacement criteria to reduce the risk of failure. Bankruptcy risk - Of the Originator – o Normally, specific care is taken in structuring the securitization transaction so as to minimize the risk of the sale to the trust not being construed as a 'true sale'. It is also in the Interest of the originator to demonstrate the transaction as a true sell to get the necessary revenue recognition and tax benefits. - Of the Investors’ agent o All possible care is normally taken in structuring the transaction and drafting the underlying documents so as to provide that the assets/receivables if and when held by Investor’s Agent is held as agent and in Trust for the Investors and shall not form part of the personal assets of Investor’s Agent. Legal risks - The rating agency normally conducts a detailed study of the legal documents to ensure that the investors' interest is not compromised and relevant protection and safeguards are built into the transaction. o Various market risks like interest rate risk, macro-economic risks o Assessment of risks related to business for example outlook for the economy, outlook for the industry and factors specific to the issuer/originator. 3. Risk mitigation strategies for investments with each kind of originator The examples of securitized assets which may be considered for investment by the Investment strategy and the various risk mitigation parameters (please read in continuation with point 2 above) which will be considered include; 40A. Asset backed securities issued by banks or non-banking finance companies. Underlying assets may include receivables from loans against cars, commercial vehicles, construction equipment or unsecured loans such as personal loans, consumer durable loans. The various factors which will be usually considered while making investments in such type of securities include profile of the issuer, analysis of underlying loan portfolio – nature of asset class, seasoning of loans, geographical distribution of loans and coverage provided by credit-cum-liquidity enhancements. B. Mortgage backed securities issued by banks or housing finance companies, where underlying assets are comprised of mortgages/home loan. The various factors which will be usually considered while making investments in such type of securities include issuer profile of the issuer, quality of underlying portfolio, seasoning of loans, coverage provided by credit-cum-liquidity enhancements and prepayment risks. C. Single loan securitization, where the underlying asset comprises of loans issued by a bank/non-banking finance company. The factors which will be usually considered while making investments in such type of securities include assessment of credit risk associated with the underlying borrower as well as the originator. The Fixed Income team will adhere to internal credit process and perform a detailed review of the underlying borrower prior to making investments. This analysis is no different from the analysis undertaken by Fund when it invests in Debentures or Commercial papers issued by the same borrower. Critical Evaluation Criteria Typically the Fund would avoid investing in securitization transaction (without specific risk mitigation strategies / additional cash/security collaterals/ guarantees) if there are concerns on the following issues regarding the originator / underlying issuer: 1. High default track record/ frequent alteration of redemption conditions/covenants 2. High leverage ratios – both on a standalone basis as well on a consolidated level/ group level 3. Higher proportion of re-schedulement of underlying assets of the pool or loan, as the case may be 4. Higher proportion of overdue assets of the pool or the underlying loan, as the case may be 5. Poor reputation in market 6. Insufficient track record of servicing of the pool or the loan, as the case may be. Further, investments in securitized debt will be done in accordance with the investment restrictions specified under the SEBI Regulations/ this Investment strategy Information Document which would help in mitigating certain risks. Currently, as per the Regulations, the Investment strategy cannot invest more than 10% of its net assets in debt instruments (irrespective of residual maturity) issued by a single issuer which are rated not below investment grade by a credit rating agency authorized to carry out such activity under the Act. Such investment limit may be extended to 12% of the net assets of the Investment strategy with the prior approval of the Board of Trustees and the Board of the AMC. 4. The level of diversification with respect to the underlying assets, and risk mitigation measures for less diversified investments The framework which will generally be applied by the Fund Manager while evaluating the investment decision with respect to securitized debt will be as follows: Characteristics/ Mortgag Commercia1 CAR 2 wheelers Micro Personal Single Others Type of Pool e Loan Vehicle and Finance Loans Sell Construction Pools down$ Equipment Approximate Upto 10 Upto 5years Upto 5 Upto 48 Upto 80 Upto 3 Case by As and when Average maturity years years months weeks years case new (in Months) basis Collateral margin In excess In excess of In In excess of In excess In excess Case by asset (including cash, of 3% 4% excess 4% of 5% of 5% case classes of guarantees, of 4% basis securitized excess interest debt are spread, introduced, subordinate the tranche) investment Average Loan to 95% or 100% or lower 95% or 95% or Unsecur Unsecur Case by such Value Ratio lower ** lower lower ed ed case instruments basis will be Average Minimum Minimum 2 Minimu Minimum 2 Minimum Minimum Case by evaluated seasoning of the 2 months months m 2 months 2 weeks 2 months case on a case by 41Pool months basis case basis Maximum single < 5% < 5% NA NA NA NA NA exposure range * (retail (retail pool) (Very (retail pool) Small pool) retail pool) Average single < 5% 5% < 2% < 1% < 1% < 1% NA exposure range% * * denotes % of a single ticket/loan size to the overall assets in the securitized pool. ** LTV Based on chassis value $ Broad evaluation criteria as per point 3 above Notes: a) Retail pools are the loan pools relating to Car, 2 wheeler, micro finance and personal loans, wherein the average loan size is relatively small and spread over large number of borrowers. b) The information illustrated in the table above is based on current scenario relating to securitized debt market and is subject to change depending upon the change in the related factors. In addition to the framework stated in the table above, in order to mitigate the risks associated with the underlying assets where the diversification is less, at the time of investment the Fixed Income team could consider various factors including but not limited to – - Size of the loan - the size of each loan is generally analysed on a sample basis and an analysis of the static pool of the originator is undertaken to ensure that the same matches with the static pool characteristics. It also indicates whether there is high reliance on very small ticket size borrower which could result in delayed and expensive recoveries. - Average original maturity of the pool of underlying assets - The analysis of average maturity of the pool is undertaken to evaluate whether the tenor of the loans are generally in line with the average loans in the respective industry and repayment capacity of the borrower. - Loan to value ratio, average seasoning of the pool of underlying assets - these parameters would be evaluated based on the asset class as mentioned in the table above. - Default rate distribution - the Fixed Income team generally ensures that all the contracts in the pool are current to ensure zero default rate distribution. - Geographical distribution - the analysis of geographical distribution of the pool is undertaken to ensure prevention of concentration risk. - Credit enhancement facility - credit enhancement facilities in the form of cash collateral, such as fixed deposits, bank guarantee etc could be obtained as a risk mitigation measure. - Liquidity facility - these parameters will be evaluated based on the asset class as mentioned in the table above. - Structure of the pool of underlying assets - The structure of the pool of underlying assets would be either single asset class or combination of various asset classes as mentioned in the table above. We could add new asset class depending upon the securitization structure and changes in market acceptability of asset classes. 5. The minimum retention period of the debt by the originator prior to securitization The minimum retention period of the debt by the originator prior to securitization and the minimum retention percentage by originator of debts will be as per the guidelines/regulations issued by the RBI/other regulatory agencies from time to time. Also, please refer the table in point 4. The Fund will adopt that policy, whichever is stricter. 6. Minimum retention percentage by originator of debts to be securitized Same as point 5 above. 7. The mechanism to tackle conflict of interest when the Specialized Investment Fund invests in securitized debt of an originator and the originator in turn makes investments in that particular investment strategy of the fund 42An investment by the investment strategy in any security is done after detailed analysis by the Fixed Income team and in accordance with the investment objectives and the asset allocation pattern of a investment strategy. All investments are made on an arm’s length basis without consideration of any investments (existing/potential) in the investment strategies made by any party related/involved in the transaction. The robust credit process ensures that there is no conflict of interests when a investment strategy invests in securitized debt of an originator and the originator in turn makes investments in that particular investment strategy. 8. The resources and mechanism of individual risk assessment with the AMC for monitoring investment in securitized debt The resources for and mechanisms of individual risk assessment with the AMC for monitoring investment in securitized debt are as follows: - - Fixed Income Team – Currently, the AMC has a well experienced team, which is responsible for credit research, monitoring and fund management, for all exposures including securitized debt. - Ratings are monitored for any movement – Based on the cash flow report and Fixed Income Team’s view, periodic review of company credit appraisal shall be conducted & monitored accordingly.

(vii) The exposure on account of the call option written under the covered call strategy shall not be considered as exposure in terms of Clause 13.18.6 of Master Circular dated March 20, 2026. a. The Investment strategy shall participate in repos in corporate debt securities as per the guidelines issued by SEBI and/ or RBI from time to time and the guidelines framed by the Board of Directors of Trustee Company and the Asset Management Company, from time to time. At present the following conditions and norms shall apply to repo in corporate debt securities: (i) The gross exposure of the Investment strategy to repo transactions in corporate debt securities shall not be more than 10% of the net assets of the Investment strategy. (ii) The cumulative gross exposure through repo transactions in corporate debt securities along with equity, debt, units issued by REITs & InvITs and derivatives shall not exceed 100% of the net assets of the Investment strategy. (iii) The Investment strategy shall participate in repo transactions only in AA and above rated corporate debt securities. (iv) The Investment strategy shall borrow through repo transactions only if the tenor of the transaction does not exceed a period of six months. (v) The Trustee and the Asset Management Company have framed guidelines interalia considering the following aspects: i. Category of counterparty ii. Credit rating of counterparty iii. Tenor of collateral iv. Applicable haircuts (vi) Counterparty selection & credit rating The counterparty must be an acceptable counterparty for debt transactions. The Specialized Investment Fund follows a counterparty empanelment process for fixed income transactions and the same shall be used for selection of counterparties for corporate bond repos. All repo transactions in corporate bonds will be governed by a repo agreement as specified by FIMMDA and / or other specified authorities. (vii) Collateral tenor & quality The exposure limit/investment restrictions prescribed under the sixth Schedule of the Regulations and circulars issued there under (wherever applicable) shall be applicable to repo transactions in corporate bonds. The Investment strategy shall further follow guidelines framed by Trustee and the AMC from time to time. (viii) Applicable haircuts Currently Specialized Investment Funds are permitted to carry out repo transactions in government securities without any haircuts. The Reserve Bank of India has notified a minimum haircut based on rating of the corporate bond and other securities. In addition, the Fixed Income and Money Market Dealers Association (FIMMDA) would maintain a rating-haircut matrix on an ongoing basis. The Investment strategy shall further follow guidelines framed by Trustee and the AMC from time to time. 50The haircuts seek to protect the lender of funds from the event of the counterparty failing to honor the repurchase leg of the repo. In such a circumstance, the Fund would suffer a loss if the value of the collateral depreciates by more than the haircut. The fall in the value of the collateral could be on account of higher yields and/ or deterioration of credit quality. As the typical tenor of repos is short (typically overnight), the haircuts represent a relatively high degree of safety in relation to the interest rate risk on the collateral. The risk of collateral depreciation based on historical volatility is given in the table below: Bond Tenor (yrs) 1 3 5 10 Price Volatility (%) 0.6 1.2 1.7 3.4 (annualized) Repo Tenor Number of standard deviations needed to lose 10% 1 day 258 13 94 48 6 7 days 98 52 36 18 In the above table, the price volatility of a 10-year bond is about 3.4% annualized. That is a 10% price move represents nearly a 3-sigma event on an annualized basis. For overnight tenors, this represents a 48-sigma event (for comparison a 6-sigma event occurs about once in a million observations). It is apparent that the haircuts stipulated by RBI are more than sufficient to mitigate interest rate risk. Credit event risk remains (the collateral could default during the tenor of the repo). This risk is to be mitigated by ensuring that the collateral is acceptable from a credit point of view. 6. As per Regulation 52 of SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 2026 Restrictions on investments are as follows: (1) An investment strategy under Specialized Investment Fund shall not invest more than 20 per cent 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 Act.
