index as a result of periodic review, the portfolio of the Scheme shall be
rebalanced within 7 calendar days. The proportions mentioned in the asset
allocation can vary substantially depending upon the perception of the fund
manager; the intention being at all times to seek to protect the interests of
the Unit holders. Such changes in the investment pattern will be for short
term and for defensive considerations only and will be rebalanced within 7
calendar days.
As per SEBI Circular No. SEBI/HO/IMD/DOF2/P/CIR/2022/69 dated May 23,
2022, in case of deviation (passive), the portfolio would be rebalanced within
7 calendar days from the date of deviation. The funds raised under the
Scheme shall be invested only in securities as permitted by SEBI (MF)
Regulations.
Short term defensive consideration: (Consolidated Std. Obs. 23 & 24)
Subject to SEBI circular no. SEBI/HO/IMD/DF2/CIR/P/2021/024 dated March
04, 2021 and circulars issued thereunder, the asset allocation pattern
indicated above may change for a short term period on defensive
considerations, keeping in view market conditions, market opportunities,
applicable regulations and political and economic factors. These
proportions may vary depending upon the perception of the Fund Manager,
the intention being at all times to seek to protect the interests of the Unit
holders. Such changes in the investment pattern will be rebalanced within 7
calendar days from the date of deviation and further action may be taken as
specified under SEBI Circulars/ AMFI guidelines issued from time to time.
Portfolio rebalancing in case of passive breach: (Consolidated Std. Obs.

change in constituents of the index due to periodic review, the portfolio of
Scheme shall be rebalanced within 7 calendar days. Further, any
transactions undertaken in the portfolio of Index Schemes to meet the
redemption and subscription obligations shall be done ensuring that post
such transactions replication of the portfolio with the index is maintained at
all points of time. However, the portfolio will adhere to the overall
investment objectives of the Scheme. However, the same will be rectified at
the earliest opportunity as may be available, but not later than 7 calendar

An investor if choosing 29th, 30th or 31st of a month as the STP date, then
the STP date will be automatically considered as the first business day of the
following month.
If any STP transaction due date falls on a non-Business day, then the
respective transactions will be processed on the immediately succeeding
Business Day for both the schemes.
Default Frequency - Monthly
The AMC/ Trustee reserves the right to introduce STPs at any other
frequencies or on any other dates as the AMC may feel appropriate from
time to time. In the event that such a day is a Holiday, the transfer would be
affected on the next Business Day.
It may be noted that this facility is subject to the lock-in requirement of the
scheme.
Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP)
Unit holders have the benefit of availing the choice of Systematic
Withdrawal Plan (SWP). The SWP allows the Unit holder to withdraw a
Draft SID - Zerodha Nifty LargeMidcap250 Plus 8-13 yr G-Sec 70:30 Index Fund 17specified sum of money each month/quarter/ half-yearly/ yearly from his
investments in the Schemes. SWP is ideal for investors seeking a regular
inflow of funds for their needs. It is also ideally suited to retirees or
individuals, who wish to invest lump sum and withdraw from the investment
over a period of time. The amount thus withdrawn by redemption will be
converted into Units at Applicable NAV and the number of Units so arrived at
will be subtracted from the Units balance to the credit of that Unit holder.
The Unit holder may avail of this Option, after the close of the New Fund
Offer Period. Unit holders will have the option to change the amount or the
period of withdrawals. The SWP may be terminated by a Unit holder and it
will terminate automatically if all the Units are liquidated or withdrawn from
the account or the holdings fall below ₹ 100/- (subject to the Unit holder
failing to invest sufficient funds to bring the value of their holdings to the
minimum amount of ₹ 100/- after the completion of SWP, within 30 days
after the balance shall have fallen below the minimum holdings) or upon the
Mutual Fundʼs receipt of notification of death or incapacity of the first Unit
holder.
Default Option : Monthly option
Minimum SWP installment size is ₹ 100/- and in multiples of any amount
thereafter.
Switching Options
Unit holders under the Scheme have the option to switch part or all of their
Unit holdings in the Scheme to any other Scheme offered by the Mutual
Fund from time to time. The Mutual Fund also provides the investors the
flexibility to switch their investments from any other scheme(s) / plan (s)
offered by the Mutual Fund to this Scheme. This option will be useful to Unit
holders who wish to alter the allocation of their investment among the
scheme(s) / plan(s) of the Mutual Fund in order to meet their changed
investment needs. The Switch will be effected by way of a Redemption of
Units from the Scheme at Applicable NAV, subject to Exit Load, if any and
reinvestment of the Redemption proceeds into another Scheme offered by
the Mutual Fund at Applicable NAV and accordingly the Switch must comply
with the Redemption rules of the Switch out Scheme and the Subscription
rules of the Switch in Scheme.
OTM – ONE TIME MANDATE (ʻFACILITYʼ)
OTM is a simple and convenient facility that enables the Unit holders to
transact in the Schemes of the Fund by submitting OTM - One Time Mandate
registration with the Fund through e-NACH or UPI autopay facility.
It is a one - time registration process wherein the Unit holder(s) of the
Scheme(s) of the Fund authorizes his / her bank to debit their account upto a
certain specified limit per transaction, on request received from the Fund, as
and when the transaction is undertaken by the Unit holder, without the need
of submitting cheque or fund transfer letter with every transaction

(www.amfiindia.com) - 11.00 P.M. every Business Day.
Computation of NAV (Consolidated Std. Obs. 42)
The Net Asset Value (NAV) per Unit of the Scheme will be computed by dividing the net
assets of the Scheme by the number of Units outstanding under the Scheme on the
valuation date. The Mutual Fund will value its investments according to the valuation
norms, as specified in Schedule VIII of the SEBI (MF) Regulations, or such norms as may be
specified by SEBI from time to time and as Stipulated in the Investment Valuation Policy
and Procedures of the Fund, available on the Website.
In case of any conflict between the Principles of Fair Valuation and valuation guidelines
specified by SEBI, the Principles of Fair Valuation shall prevail.
NAV of Units of under the Scheme shall be calculated as shown below:
NAV (₹) per Unit =
Market or Fair Value of the Schemeʼs Investments + Current Assets - Current Liabilities and
Provisions
No. of Units outstanding under each Scheme
The NAV of the Scheme will be calculated and disclosed at the close of every Business Day.
The NAV of the Scheme will be calculated up to 4 decimal places.
Methodology for calculation of sale and repurchase price.
Draft SID - Zerodha Nifty LargeMidcap250 Plus 8-13 yr G-Sec 70:30 Index Fund 21Pursuant to SEBI circular no. SEBI/HO/IMD/DF2/CIR/P/2018/92 dated June 05, 2018 on “Go
Green Initiative in Mutual Funds”, the methodology of calculating the sale and repurchase
price of units is explained with an illustration below:
A) Sale Price:
The Sale Price for a valid purchase will be the Applicable NAV of the respective Scheme i.e.
Sale Price = Applicable NAV.
For a valid purchase request of ₹ 10,000, where the applicable NAV is ₹ 10, the units will be
allotted as below:
Purchase Amount - ₹ 10,000
Applicable NAV - ₹ 10
No. of Units - 1,000 Units (Purchase Amount/Applicable NAV)
Please note that the entry load has been abolished with effect from August 01, 2009 vide
SEBI Circular no.SEBI/IMD/CIR No. 4/ 168230/09 dated August 01, 2009. Hence, Sale price is
equal to the applicable NAV.
B) Repurchase Price:
The Repurchase Price for a valid repurchase will be the applicable NAV reduced by any exit
load (say 1%, if redeemed before completion of 1 year). i.e. applicable NAV - (applicable
NAV X applicable exit load)
For a valid repurchase request where the applicable NAV is ₹ 10, the repurchase price will
be as follows :
Applicable NAV - ₹ 10
Exit Load - 1%
= 10 - (10 X 1%)
= 10 - (0.1)
= ₹ 9.9
Therefore, for the repurchase for 1,000 units, the Investor will receive the proceeds as given
below:
No. Of Units - 1,000
Repurchase Price = ₹9.9
=1000 X 9.9
= ₹ 9,900
Draft SID - Zerodha Nifty LargeMidcap250 Plus 8-13 yr G-Sec 70:30 Index Fund 22Note: Transaction charges and other charges/expenses, if any, borne by the investors have
not been considered in the above illustration(s).
The Mutual Fund will ensure that the Redemption Price will not be lower than 95% of the
Applicable NAV provided that the difference between the Redemption Price and the
Subscription /Purchase Price at any point in time shall not exceed the permitted limit as
prescribed by SEBI from time to time, which is currently 5% calculated on the
Subscription/ Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be at applicable NAV. (Standard
Observation 17(b)) (Consolidated Std. Obs. 47)

(www.zerodhafundhouse.com) at least three working days prior to the effective date of the
change and update the TER under the Section titled “Statutory Disclosures” under the
sub-section titled “Total Expense Ratio of Mutual Funds”.
Illustration: Impact of Expense Ratio on Scheme's return (Consolidated Std. Obs. 44)
Expense ratio, normally expressed as a percentage of Average Assets under Management,
is calculated by dividing the permissible expenses under the Regulations by the average
net assets.
To further illustrate the above, for the Scheme under reference, suppose an Investor
invested ₹10,000/- (after deduction of stamp duty) under the Direct Plan, the impact of
expenses charged will be as under:
Particulars Direct Plan
Amount invested at the beginning of the 10,000
year (₹)
Returns before expenses (₹) 1,500
Expenses (₹) 150
Returns after expenses at the end of the 1,350
year (₹)
Returns (per annum in %) 13.5%
Note(s):
- The purpose of the above illustration is to purely explain the impact of expense ratio
charged to the Plan(s) under the Scheme and should not be construed as providing
any kind of investment advice or guarantee of returns on investments.
- It is assumed that the expenses charged are evenly distributed throughout the year.
- Calculations are based on assumed NAVs, and actual returns on your investment
may be more, or less.
- Any tax impact has not been considered in the above example, in view of the
individual nature of the tax implications. Each investor is advised to seek
appropriate advice.
All scheme related expenses including commission paid to distributors, by whatever name
it may be called and in whatever manner it may be paid, shall necessarily paid from the
scheme only within the regulatory limits and not from the books of AMC, its associate,

Risk factors Standard Risk Factors
- Investment in Mutual Fund Units involves investment risks such as trading volumes,
settlement risk, liquidity risk, default risk including the possible loss of principal.
- As the price/ value/ interest rates of the securities in which the Scheme invests
fluctuates, the value of your investment in the Scheme may go up or down depending
on the various factors and forces affecting the capital markets and money markets.
- Past performance of the Sponsors and their affiliates / AMC / Mutual Fund does not
guarantee future performance of the Scheme of the Mutual Fund.
- The name of the Scheme does not in any manner indicate either the quality of the
Scheme or its future prospects and returns.
- The Sponsors are not responsible or liable for any loss resulting from the operation of
the Scheme beyond the initial contribution of ₹ 1 lakh each made by them towards
setting up the Fund.
- The present Scheme is not a guaranteed or assured return Scheme.
Scheme specific risk factors: (Consolidated Std. Obs. 8) (Standard Observation 02)
The Scheme is subject to the specific risks that may adversely affect the Schemeʼs NAV,
return and / or ability to meet its investment objective. The specific risk factors related to
the Scheme include, but are not limited to the following:
Tracking Error & Tracking Difference Risk (Consolidated Std. Obs. 10)(Consolidated Std.
Obs. 39)
The Fund Manager would not be able to invest the entire corpus exactly in the same
proportion as in the underlying index due to certain factors such as the fees and expenses
of the Scheme, corporate actions, cash balance, changes to the underlying index,
regulatory restrictions and lack of liquidity which may result in Tracking Error. Hence it
may affect Schemeʼs ability to achieve close correlation with the underlying index of the
Draft SID - Zerodha Nifty LargeMidcap250 Plus 8-13 yr G-Sec 70:30 Index Fund 26Scheme. The Schemeʼs returns may therefore deviate from its underlying index. The Fund
Manager would monitor the Tracking Error of the Scheme on an ongoing basis and would
seek to minimize the Tracking Error to the maximum extent possible.
Tracking errors are inherent in any index fund and such errors may cause the scheme to
generate returns which are not in line with the performance of the Nifty LargeMidcap250
Plus 8-13 yr G-Sec 70:30 Index or one or more securities covered by / included in the Nifty
LargeMidcap250 Plus 8-13 yr G-Sec 70:30 Index and may arise from a variety of factors
including but not limited to:
1. Any delay in the purchase or sale of securities due to illiquidity in the market,
settlement and realisation of sales proceeds, delay in credit of securities or in receipt
and consequent reinvestment of dividend, etc.
2. The index reflects the prices of securities at a point in time, which is the price at close
of business day on the stock exchange. The scheme, however, may trade the
securities at different points in time during the trading session and therefore the
prices at which the scheme trades may not be identical to the closing price of each
scrip on that day on the respective stock exchange. In addition, the scheme may opt
to trade the same securities on different exchanges due to price or liquidity factors,
which may also result in traded prices being at variance from the closing price
considered in the Index.
3. The potential of trades to fail may result in the scheme not having acquired the
security at the price necessary to mirror the index.
4. Transaction and other expenses, such as but not limited to brokerage, custody,
trustee and investment management fees.
5. Being an open-ended passive scheme, the scheme may hold appropriate levels of
cash or cash equivalents to meet ongoing redemptions.
The scheme may not be able to acquire or sell the desired number of securities due to
conditions prevailing in the securities market, such as, but not restricted to circuit filters in
the securities, liquidity and volatility in security prices. The tracking error of the scheme
based on past one year rolling data shall not exceed 2%. In case of unavoidable
circumstances in the nature of force majeure, which are beyond the control of the AMCs/
Mutual Fund, the tracking error may exceed 2% and the same shall be brought to the
notice of Trustees with corrective actions taken by the AMC, if any. The Scheme will
disclose the tracking error based on past one year rolling data, on a daily basis, on the
website of AMC and AMFI. In case the Scheme has been in existence for a period of less
than one year, the annualized standard deviation shall be calculated based on available
data.
Risks associated with Equity and Equity Related Instruments:
Equity and equity related instruments by nature are volatile and prone to price fluctuations
on a daily basis due to macro and micro economic factors. The value of Equity and Equity
Related Instruments may fluctuate due to factors affecting the securities markets such as
price volatility, volumes traded, interest rates, currency exchange rates, changes in
law/policies of the Government, taxation laws, political, economic or other developments,
which may have an adverse impact on individual securities, a specific sector or all sectors.
Consequently, the NAV of the Units issued under the Scheme may be adversely affected.
Equity and equity related instruments listed on the stock exchange carry lower liquidity
risk; however the Schemeʼs ability to sell these investments is limited by the overall trading
volume on the stock exchanges. In certain cases, settlement periods may be extended
Draft SID - Zerodha Nifty LargeMidcap250 Plus 8-13 yr G-Sec 70:30 Index Fund 27significantly by unforeseen circumstances. The inability of the Scheme to make intended
securities purchases due to settlement problems could cause the Scheme to miss certain
investment opportunities. Similarly, the inability to sell securities held in the Schemeʼs
portfolio may result, at times, in potential losses to the Scheme, if there is a subsequent
decline in the value of securities held in the Schemeʼs portfolio.
Investments in equity and equity related instruments involve a degree of risk and investors
should not invest in the Scheme unless they can afford to take the risk of losing their
investment.
Risk factors associated with processing of transactions through Stock Exchange Mechanism
The trading mechanism introduced by the Stock Exchange(s) is configured to accept and
process transactions for mutual fund Units in both Physical and Demat Form. The
allotment and/or redemption of Units through NSE and/or BSE or any other authorised
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). Accordingly, there could be negative impacts to the
investors such as delay or failure in allotment / redemption of units. The Fund and the AMC
are not responsible for the negative impacts.
Risks associated with segregated portfolio:
The unit holders may note that no redemption and subscription shall be allowed in the
segregated portfolio. However, in order to facilitate exit to unit holders in the segregated
portfolio, the AMC shall enable listing of units of segregated portfolio on the recognized
stock exchange.
The risks associated in regard to the segregated portfolio are as follows:
● The investors holding units of the segregated portfolio may not be able to liquidate
their holdings till the time of recovery of money from the issuer.
● The security comprising the segregated portfolio may not realise any value.
● Listing units of the segregated portfolio on a recognized stock exchange does not
necessarily guarantee their liquidity. There may not be active trading of units of the
segregated portfolio on the stock exchange.
● The trading price of units on the stock exchange may be significantly lower than the
prevailing Net Asset Value (NAV) of the segregated portfolio.
Risks associated with Debt and Money Market Instruments or Fixed Income Securities
Credit Risk: This is the risk associated with the issuer of a debenture/bond or a Money
Market Instrument defaulting on coupon payments or in paying back the principal amount
on maturity. Even when there is no default, the price of a security may change with
expected changes in the credit rating of the issuer. It is to be noted here that a Government
Security is a sovereign security and is the safest. Corporate bonds carry a higher amount of
credit risk than Government Securities. Within corporate bonds also there are different
levels of safety and a bond rated higher by a particular rating agency is safer than a bond
rated lower by the same rating agency.
Draft SID - Zerodha Nifty LargeMidcap250 Plus 8-13 yr G-Sec 70:30 Index Fund 28Price-Risk or Interest-Rate Risk: From the perspective of coupon rates, debt securities can
be classified in two categories, i.e. Fixed Income Bearing securities and floating rate
securities. In Fixed Income bearing securities, the coupon rate is determined at the time of
investment and paid/received at the predetermined frequency. In the Floating Rate
Securities, on the other hand, the coupon rate changes - 'floats' – with the underlying
benchmark rate, e.g., MIBOR, 1 yr. Treasury Bill.
Fixed Income Securities (such as Government Securities, bonds, debentures and money
market instruments) where a fixed return is offered, run price-risk. 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, the
payment-frequency of such coupon, days to maturity and the increase or decrease in the
level of interest rates. The prices of Government Securities (existing and new) will be
influenced only by movement in interest rates in the financial system. Whereas, in the case
of corporate or institutional fixed income securities, such as bonds or debentures, prices
are influenced not only by the change in interest rates but also by credit rating of the
security and liquidity thereof.
However, debt securities in the scheme are intended to be held till maturity. For such
securities held till maturity, there will not be any interest rate risk at the end of the tenure.
Floating rate securities issued by a government have the least sensitivity to interest rate
movements, as compared to other securities. The Government of India has already issued
a few such securities and the Investment Manager believes that such securities may
become available in future as well. These securities can play an important role in
minimising interest rate risk on a portfolio.
Reinvestment Risk: Investments in fixed income securities carry reinvestment risk as
interest rates prevailing on the coupon payment or maturity dates may differ from the
original coupon of the bond.
Basis Risk: The underlying benchmark of a floating rate security or a swap might become
less active or may cease to exist and thus may not be able to capture the exact interest rate
movements. This may result in loss of value of the portfolio.
Spread Risk: In a floating rate security the coupon is expressed in terms of a spread or mark
up over the benchmark rate. During the tenure of the security this spread may move
adversely or favourably leading to fluctuations in value of the portfolio. The yield of the
underlying benchmark might not change, but the spread of the security over the
underlying benchmark might increase leading to loss in value of the security.
Legislative Risk: Changes in government policy in general and changes in tax benefits
applicable to Mutual Funds may impact the returns to investors in the scheme.
Risk of Rating Migration: It may be noted that the price of a rated security would be
impacted with the change in rating and hence, there is risk associated with such migration.
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 fund to reinvest the proceeds of such investments in
securities offering lower yields, resulting in lower interest income for the fund.
Draft SID - Zerodha Nifty LargeMidcap250 Plus 8-13 yr G-Sec 70:30 Index Fund 29Different types of securities in which the scheme would invest as given in the SID carry
different levels and types of risk. Accordingly the schemeʼs risk may increase or decrease
depending upon its investment pattern. E.g. corporate bonds carry a higher amount of risk
than Government securities. Further even among corporate bonds, bonds, which are AA
rated, are comparatively more risky than bonds, which are AAA rated.
Risks associated with investing in Tri Party Repo through CCIL (TREPS)
The mutual fund is a constituent member of the securities segment and Tri-party Repo
trade settlement of the Clearing Corporation of India (CCIL). All transactions of the mutual
fund in government securities and in Tri-party Repo trades are settled centrally through
the infrastructure and settlement systems provided by CCIL; thus, reducing the settlement
and counterparty risks considerably for transactions in the said segments.
CCIL maintains prefunded resources in all the clearing segments to cover potential losses
arising from the default member. In the event of a clearing member failing to honour his
settlement obligations, the default Fund is utilised to complete the settlement. The
sequence in which the above resources are used is known as the “Default Waterfall”. As per
the waterfall mechanism, after the defaulterʼs margins and the defaulterʼs contribution to
the default fund have been appropriated, CCILʼs contribution is used to meet the losses.
Post utilisation of CCILʼs contribution if there is a residual loss, it is appropriated from the
default fund contributions of the non-defaulting members.
Thus, the scheme 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).
Further, it may be noted that, CCIL periodically prescribes a list of securities eligible for
contributions as collateral by members. Presently, all Central Government securities and
Treasury bills are accepted as collateral by CCIL. The risk factors may undergo change in
case the CCIL notifies securities other than Government of India securities as eligible for
contribution as collateral.
Risks associated with investing in Long term Government of India Securities
Interest rate risk: When interest rates rise, bond prices fall; conversely, when rates decline,
bond prices rise. The longer the time to a bondʼs maturity, the greater will be its interest
rate risk. Since the scheme would invest in government securities having maturity from 8
years to 13 years, interest rate risk would remain.
Inflation risk: Inflation causes tomorrowʼs money to be worth less than todayʼs; in other
words, it reduces the purchasing power of a bond investorʼs future interest payments and
principal, collectively known as “cash flows.” Inflation also leads to higher interest rates,
which in turn leads to lower bond prices.
Legislative risk: The risk that a change in the tax code could affect the value of taxable or
tax-exempt interest income.
Risk associated with Derivatives (Consolidated Std. Obs. 28) (Standard Observation 5)
Derivative products are leveraged instruments and can provide disproportionate gains as
well as disproportionate losses to the investor. Execution of such strategies depends upon
Draft SID - Zerodha Nifty LargeMidcap250 Plus 8-13 yr G-Sec 70:30 Index Fund 30the 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 the decision
of the 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.
Trading in derivatives has the following risks:
1. An exposure to derivatives in excess of the hedging requirements can lead to losses.
2. An exposure to derivatives, when used for hedging purpose, can also limit the profits
from a genuine investment transaction.
3. Derivatives carry the risk of adverse changes in the market price.
4. Illiquidity Risk i.e., risk that a derivative trade may not be executed or reversed
quickly enough at a fair price, due to lack of liquidity in the market.
The Fund may use derivatives instruments like equity futures & options, or other derivative
instruments as permitted under the Regulations and Guidelines. Usage of derivatives will
expose the Scheme to liquidity risk, open position risk, and opportunities risk etc. Such
risks include the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the inability of derivatives to
correlate perfectly with underlying assets, rates and indices. In case of the derivative
strategies, it may not be possible to square off the cash position against the corresponding
derivative position at the exact closing price available in the Value Weighted Average
Period. Debt derivatives instruments like interest rate swaps, forward rate agreements or
other derivative instruments also involve certain risks.
Risk associated with Securities Lending (Standard Observation 6)
Securities Lending is lending of securities through an approved intermediary to a borrower
under an agreement for a specified period with the condition that the borrower will return
equivalent securities of the same type or class at the end of the specified period along with
the corporate benefits accruing on the securities borrowed. There are risks inherent in
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. Such failure can result in a
possible loss of rights to the collateral, the inability of the approved intermediary to return
the securities deposited by the lender and the possible loss of corporate benefits accruing
thereon.
The AMC shall adhere to the following limits should it engage in Stock Lending:
1. Not more than 20% of the net assets of a Scheme can generally be deployed in Stock
Lending.
2. Not more than 5% of the net assets of a Scheme can generally be deployed in Stock
Lending to any single approved intermediary / counterparty.
Risk Mitigation Strategies (Consolidated Std. Obs. 09)
The Scheme aims to track the Nifty LargeMidcap250 Plus 8-13 yr G-Sec 70:30 Index TRI
before expenses. The Index is tracked on a regular basis and changes to the constituents or
their weights, if any, are replicated in the Underlying Portfolio with the purpose of
minimising tracking errors. Investments in equity, debt and money market securities carry
various risks such as but not limited to the ones mentioned above. While such risks cannot
Draft SID - Zerodha Nifty LargeMidcap250 Plus 8-13 yr G-Sec 70:30 Index Fund 31be eliminated, they may be mitigated by diversification. In order to mitigate the various
risks, the portfolio of the Scheme will be constructed in accordance with the investment
restriction specified under the Regulations which would help in mitigating certain risks
relating to investments in the securities market.
The AMC incorporates necessary framework in place for risk mitigation at an enterprise
level, and scheme level in accordance with the Risk Management Framework prescribed by
the SEBI. The Risk Management division of the AMC is an independent division within the
organisation. Internal risk thresholds are defined and judiciously monitored. Risk
indicators on various parameters are computed and are monitored on a regular basis. The
Risk Management Committee of the Board enables a dedicated focus on risk factors and
the relevant risk mitigants from time to time.

Index methodology/ Index Methodology
Details of underlying fund
in case of Fund of Funds The Benchmark for the Scheme is Nifty LargeMidcap250 Plus 8-13 yr G-Sec 70:30 Index.
The Scheme proposes to invest in a blend of equity and the fixed income instruments,
which are constituents of the Nifty LargeMidcap250 Plus 8-13 yr G-Sec 70:30 Index. Hence,
it is an appropriate benchmark for the Scheme. Further, a Total Returns Index reflects the
returns on the index from index gain/loss plus dividend payments by constituent index
stocks.
The performance will be benchmarked to the Total Returns Variant of the Index.
The Trustee reserves the right to change the benchmark for evaluation of performance of
the Scheme from time to time in conformity with the investment objectives and
appropriateness of the benchmark subject to SEBI (MF) Regulations, and other prevailing
guidelines, if any by suitable notification to investors to this effect.

What are the The Scheme is a passively managed index fund, which endeavors to invest in Securities in
investment proportion to the weightage of the securities in the Nifty LargeMidcap250 Plus 8-13 yr G-Sec
strategies? 70:30 Index. The investment strategy would revolve around reducing the tracking error to the
(Consolidated Std. least possible extent through regular rebalancing of the portfolio, taking into account the
Obs. 27 & 28) change in weights of securities in the Index as well as the incremental collections/redemptions
(Standard in the Scheme. Such rebalancing shall be done in accordance with timelines prescribed by SEBI
Observation 07) from time to time.
A part of the funds may be invested in debt and money market instruments, to meet the
liquidity requirements.
The Scheme may also invest in the schemes of Mutual Funds in terms of the prevailing SEBI
(MF) Regulations.
Though every endeavor will be made to achieve the objective of the Scheme, the
AMC/Sponsors/Trustee do not guarantee that the investment objective of the Scheme will
be achieved. No guaranteed returns are being offered under the Scheme.
INVESTMENT STRATEGY:
The investment objective of the scheme is to achieve a return equivalent to Nifty
LargeMidcap250 Plus 8-13 yr G-Sec 70:30 Index by investing in securities of companies
comprising Nifty LargeMidcap250 Plus 8-13 yr G-Sec 70:30 Index.
The net assets of the scheme will be invested predominantly in securities constituting the Nifty
LargeMidcap 250 Hybrid 8-13 Yr Gsec 70:30 Index. This would be done by investing in all
securities with the same weightage that they represent in the Nifty LargeMidcap 250 Hybrid
8-13 Yr Gsec 70:30 Index.
The performance of the Scheme may not be commensurate with the performance of the
respective benchmark of the Schemes on any given day or over any given period. Such
variations are commonly referred to as the tracking error. The Scheme intends to maintain a
low tracking error by effectively replicating the portfolio in line with the index.
However, there is no assurance that all such buying and selling activities would necessarily
result in benefit for the Fund.
DEBT AND MONEY MARKET INVESTMENT STRATEGY: (Consolidated Std. Obs. 13)
A small portion of the net assets will be held as cash or will be invested in debt and money
market instruments permitted by SEBI/RBI including TREPS or in alternative investment for the
TREPS as may be provided by the RBI, to meet the liquidity requirements under the Scheme.
STRATEGIES FOR INVESTMENT IN DERIVATIVES:
Draft SID - Zerodha Nifty LargeMidcap250 Plus 8-13 yr G-Sec 70:30 Index Fund 64The Scheme may take derivatives positions 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 Scheme.
The Scheme intends to use derivatives mainly for the purpose of hedging and portfolio
balancing. Losses may arise as a result of using derivatives, but these are likely to be
compensated by the gains on the underlying cash instruments held by the Scheme. The
Scheme will not assume any leveraged exposure to derivatives.
Derivatives can be traded over the exchange or can be structured between two counterparties.
