Please Note: The portfolio of the scheme is subject to changes within the provisions of the Scheme Information document
of the Scheme. The asset allocation and investment strategy will be as per the Scheme Information Document. For detailed

The fund will endeavour to provide an equity taxation if gross equity exposure is having 65% and
above* thus reducing tax burden on an investor coupled with better post tax returns. Please refer
to SID for details disclosure of taxation.
For constructing the portfolio, the fund will endeavour to follow a three-tiered approach to achieve its
strategy.
Tier I would be to determine the asset mix of the portfolio and hence deciding the Equity & Debt
allocation. Asset allocation at any given point of time will be decided by the Fund Managers, using
parameters such as Sentiment Indicator, Valuations & Earnings Drivers.
Tier II would be to determine the style skewness. Factors like allocation to different market cap
(large/ mid/ small), sector preference and value/growth preference, would be decided in this step.
Basis the above two, Tier III would be the stock/ security selection. Stock/ Security selection would
be based on the highest conviction ideas of Fund Managers & Analysts. On the fixed income side,
the aim to have high credit/ sovereign portfolio to maintain liquidity in the fund and seek to gener-
ate alpha by duration management across the yield curve.

any other amount as specified by an investor basis one’s requirement to meet regular cashflows.
Fixed Payouts: The facility has an option available to investors to withdraw specific % of cost of
investment, thus ensuring fixed payouts till the enrolment period expires or the unit balance in the
folio is greater than the withdrawal amount as specified by an investor, whichever is earlier.
Tax Efficiency: The facility is a more tax efficient as the capital gains realised on the units withdrawn
from an equity-oriented scheme after 1 year from the date of allotment will attract long term
capital gains of 10% unlike other regular payout options like dividends, interest etc. which are taxed
in the hands of investor at the applicable tax slab. Please also refer to tax efficiency section in point
no. 3.
Flexibility of Withdrawal: The investor has the flexibility to choose frequency & amount as per the
terms of the facility and also has an option to discontinue the facility at his discretion with prior
intimation.
*Though it is a dynamic asset allocation scheme, the endeavour will be to keep atleast 65% of the total proceeds of the fund in domestic
equity & equity related instruments (based on annual average of the monthly averages of opening and closing figures) to attract equity
taxation benefits as per prevailing tax laws.
