Page 14 of 56
2. Debt & Money Market Instrument
Detailed definition and applicable regulations/guidelines for each instrument shall be included in
Section II.
C. WHAT ARE THE INVESTMENT STRATEGIES?

The Scheme will primarily invest in equity and equity related securities.

Equity:

For the equity portion, to the extent the fund invests in equity shares, the focus would be to build a
diversified portfolio of strong growth companies, reflecting our most attractive investment ideas, at all
points of time.

The fund manager may not have any bias towards particular theme or style in picking investment
opportunities. However, the fund manager does have the flexibility to follow a focused approach on the
investments.

The fund manager broadly analyses the macro economy, industry trends and business cycles. He will
invest in companies that benefit from macroeconomic, industry and sectoral trends (Top down Theme
Overlay) after doing bottom up analysis and due diligence, quality of management in terms of corporate
governance and commitment to minority shareholders etc.

The universe of stocks will comprise majorly of companies having a robust business
models, enjoying sustainable competitive advantages as compared to their competitors and have high
return ratios.

The Fund Manager will try to have a large base of stocks in the portfolio to avoid concentration risk
and liquidity risk. The Fund Managers will monitor the trading volumes in a particular stock before
investment to avoid liquidity risk.

The Scheme will also invest in debt securities and money market instruments.

• The credit quality of the portfolio will be maintained and monitored using in-house research
capabilities as well as inputs from external sources such as independent credit rating agencies.
• The investment team will primarily use a top down approach for taking interest rate view, sector
allocation along with a bottom up approach for security/instrument selection.
• The bottom up approach will assess the quality of security/instrument (including the financial
health of the issuer) as well as the liquidity of the security.
• Investments in debt instruments carry various risks such as interest rate risk, reinvestment risk,
credit risk and liquidity risk etc. Whilst such risks cannot be eliminated, they may be minimized
through diversification.

Risk is an inherent part of the investment function. Effective risk management is critical to fund
management for achieving financial soundness. Investments by the Scheme shall be made as per the
investment objective of the Scheme and provisions of SEBI (MF) Regulations. AMC has incorporated
adequate safeguards to manage risk in the portfolio construction process. Risk control would involve
managing risk in order to keep it in line with the investment objective of the Scheme. The risk control
process involves identifying & measuring the risk through various Risk Measurement Tools like but
not limited to calculating risk ratios, tracking error etc. The AMC has implemented Quantis as the Front

Page 15 of 56
Office and Settlement System (FOS). The system has incorporated all the investment restrictions as per
SEBI guidelines and “soft” warning alerts at appropriate levels for preemptive monitoring. The system
enables identifying & measuring the risk through various risk measurement tools like various risk ratios,
average duration and analyzes the same so as to act in a preventive manner.

The risk control measures for managing the debt portion of the scheme are:

1. Monitoring risk adjusted returns performance of the fund with respect to its peers and its
benchmark.

2. Tracking analysis of the fund on various risk parameters undertaken by independent fund research
/ rating agencies or analysts and take corrective measures if needed.

3. Credit analysis plays an important role at the time of purchase of bond and then at the time of
regular performance analysis. Our internal research anchors the credit analysis. Sources for credit
analysis include Capital Line, CRISIL, ICRA updates etc. Debt ratios, financials, cash flows are
analysed at regular intervals to take a call on the credit risk.

4. We define individual limits for G Sec, money market instruments, MIBOR linked debentures and
corporate bonds exposure, for diversification reasons.

The Scheme does not propose to underwrite issuances of securities of other issuers. There will be no
exposure to securitized debt securities in the portfolio.

Policy for Investment decisions

The investment policy of the AMC has been determined by the Investment Committee (“IC”) which
has been ratified by the Boards of the AMC and Trustee. At the strategic level, the broad investment
philosophy of the AMC and the authorized exposure limits are spelt out in the Investment Policy of the
AMC. During trading hours, the Fund Managers have the discretion to take investment decisions for
the Scheme within the limits defined in the Investment Policy, these decisions and the reasons thereof
are communicated to the CEO for post facto approval.

The designated Fund Managers of the Scheme will be responsible for taking day-to-day investment
decisions and will inter-alia be responsible for asset allocation, security selection and timing of
investment decisions.

Portfolio Turnover Policy

Portfolio turnover is defined as the aggregate value of purchases or sales as a percentage of the corpus
of a scheme during a specified period of time. The Scheme is open ended, with subscriptions and
redemptions expected on a daily basis, resulting in net inflow/outflow of funds, and on account of the
various factors that affect portfolio turnover; it is difficult to give an estimate, with any reasonable
amount of accuracy.

Page 16 of 56
However, during volatile market conditions, the fund manager has the flexibility to churn the portfolio
actively to optimize returns keeping in mind the cost associated with it.

D. HOW WILL THE SCHEME BENCHMARK ITS PERFORMANCE?

The performance of the scheme will be benchmarked to the performance of the Nifty 500 (TRI) for Tier
1 Benchmark & Nifty 200 (TRI) for Tier 2 Benchmark.

Rationale for adoption of benchmark:

The Fund’s strategy is to invest in a diversified portfolio of companies across sectors. The Fund will
also have the flexibility to invest in companies across the market capitalization spectrum and as such,
the constituents of the Nifty 200 Index reasonably represent the portfolio of the scheme. The above
benchmarks are in accordance with clause 9.1 of SEBI Master Circular date May 19,2 023 on ‘Guiding
Principles for bringing uniformity in Benchmarks of Mutual Fund Schemes’.

The Trustees may change the benchmark in future if a benchmark better suited to the investment
objective of the Scheme is available.

Part III- OTHER DETAILS

A. COMPUTATION OF NAV

The NAV of the Units of the Scheme will be computed by dividing the net assets of the Scheme by
the number of Units outstanding on the valuation date.

NAV of Units under the Options there under can be calculated as shown below:

(Market or Fair Value of Scheme’s investments + Current assets including Accrued Income -
Current Liabilities and provisions including accrued expenses)
NAV = ____________________________________________________________________
No. of Units outstanding under the Scheme/Option.

The NAV, the sale and repurchase prices of the Units will be calculated and announced at the close
of each working day. The NAVs of the Scheme will be computed and units will be allotted upto 3
decimals.

Computation of NAV will be done after taking into account IDCW paid, if any, and the distribution
tax thereon, if applicable. Therefore, once IDCW are distributed under the IDCW Option, the NAV
of the Units under the IDCW Option would always remain lower than the NAV of the Units issued
under the Growth Option. The income earned and the profits realized in respect of the Units issued
under the Growth Option remain invested and are reflected in the NAV of the Units.

The valuation of the Schemes’ assets and calculation of the Schemes’ NAVs shall be subject to audit
on an annual basis and such regulations as may be prescribed by SEBI from time to time.

Illustration on Computation of NAV:

If the net assets of the Scheme are Rs.10,65,44,345.34 and units outstanding are 1,00,00,000 then the
NAV per unit will be computed as follows:

10,65,44,345.34 / 1,00,00,000 = Rs. 10.6544 p.u. (rounded off to four decimals)


The Mutual Fund may charge the load within the stipulated limit of 5% and without any
discrimination to any specific group. The Repurchase Price however, will not be lower than 95%
of the NAV.

The purpose of the above table is to assist the investor in understanding the various costs & expenses that the
investor in the Scheme will bear directly or indirectly. These estimates have been made in good faith as per
the information available to the AMC and the above expenses (including investment management and
advisory fees) are subject to inter-se change and may increase/decrease as per actual and/or any change in
the Regulations, as amended from time to time.

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 be paid from the scheme only within the regulatory
limits and not from the books of the Asset Management Companies (AMC), its associate, sponsor, trustee or
any other entity through any route.

In addition to the limits as specified in Regulation 52(6) of SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations 1996 [‘SEBI
Regulations’] or the Total Recurring Expenses (Total Expense Limit) as specified above, the following costs
or expenses may be charged to the scheme namely:-

$Additional expenses for gross new inflows from specified cities:

(a) expenses not exceeding of 0.30 per cent of daily net assets, if the new inflows from such cities as specified
by SEBI from time to time are at least -
(i) 30 per cent of gross new inflows in the scheme, or;
(ii) 15 per cent of the average assets under management (year to date) of the scheme, whichever is higher:

Provided that if inflows from such cities is less than the higher of sub-clause (i) or sub-clause (ii), such
expenses on daily net assets of the Scheme shall be charged on proportionate basis.

Page 23 of 56
Provided further that, expenses charged under this clause shall be utilised for distribution expenses incurred
for bringing inflows from such cities.

Provided further that amount incurred as expense on account of inflows from such cities shall be credited
back to the Scheme in case the said inflows are redeemed within a period of one year from the date of
investment.

Currently, SEBI has specified that the above additional expenses may be charged for inflows from beyond
‘Top 30 cities.’ The top 30 cities shall mean top 30 cities based on Association of Mutual Funds in India
(AMFI) data on ‘AUM by Geography – Consolidated Data for Mutual Fund Industry’ as at the end of the
previous financial year.

Provided further that, additional TER can be charged based on inflows only from retail investors from B30
cities in terms of clause 10.1 of SEBI Master Circular dated May 19, 2023.

‘Retail investors’ are defined as individual investors with an inflow of an amount upto Rs 2,00,000/- per
transaction.

This sub clause (a) shall be applicable for inflows received during the NFO period.

*** Note: SEBI vide its letter no. SEBI/HO/IMD-SEC-3/P/OW/2023/5823/1 dated February 24, 2023
and AMFI letter dated No. 35P/ MEM-COR/ 85/ 2022-23 dated March 02, 2023 has directed AMCs to keep
B-30 incentive structure in abeyance with effect from March 01, 2023 till further notice.

(b) GST payable on investment and advisory service fees (‘AMC fees’) charged by Mirae Asset Investment
Managers (India) Private Limited (‘Mirae Asset AMC)’;

Within the Total Expense Limit chargeable to the Scheme, following will be charged to the Scheme:
(a) GST on other than investment and advisory fees, if any, (including on brokerage and transaction costs on
execution of trades) shall be borne by the Scheme;
(b) Investor education and awareness initiative fees of 2 basis points on daily net assets of respective Scheme.

The current expense ratios will be updated on the AMC website


https://miraeassetmf.co.in/downloads/regulatory at least 3 working days prior to the effective date of the
change.

Further, the notice of change in base TER (i.e. TER excluding additional expenses provided in Regulation
52(6A) (b) and 52(6A)(c) of SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996) in comparison to previous base TER
charged to the scheme will be communicated to investors of the scheme through notice via email or SMS at
least three working days prior to effecting such change.

However, any decrease in TER due to decrease in applicable limits as prescribed in Regulation 52 (6) (i.e.
due to increase in daily net assets of the scheme) would not require issuance of any prior notice to the
investors. Further, such decrease in TER will be immediately communicated to investors of the scheme
through email or SMS and uploaded on the AMC website.

The above change in the base TER in comparison to previous base TER charged to the scheme shall be
intimated to the Board of Directors of AMC along with the rationale recorded in writing.

Page 24 of 56
The changes in TER shall also be placed before the Trustees on quarterly basis along with rationale for such
changes.

D. LOAD STRUCTURE

Exit Load is an amount which is paid by the investor to redeem the units from the scheme. Load
amounts are variable and are subject to change from time to time. For the current applicable
structure, please refer to the website of the AMC (https://www.miraeassetmf.co.in/) or may call at
‘1800 2090 777’ or your distributor.

Type of Load Load chargeable (as %age of NAV)

Exit NIL

For any change in exit load, AMC will issue an addendum and display it on the website/Investor
Service Centres.

Page 25 of 56
The Mutual Fund may charge the load within the stipulated limit of 5% and without any
discrimination to any specific group. The Repurchase Price however, will not be lower than 95% of
the NAV.

The Trustee reserves the right to modify/alter the load structure and may decide to charge an exit
load on the Units with prospective effect, subject to the maximum limits as prescribed under the
SEBI Regulations. At the time of changing the load structure, the AMC shall take the following
steps:

• Arrangements shall be made to display the changes/modifications in the SID in the form of a
notice in all the Mirae Asset ISCs’ and distributors’ offices.
• The notice–cum-addendum detailing the changes shall be attached to SIDs and Key Information
Memoranda. The addendum will be circulated to all the distributors so that the same can be
attached to all SIDs and Key Information Memoranda already in stock.
• The introduction of the exit load along with the details shall be stamped in the acknowledgement
slip issued to the investors on submission of the application form and may also be disclosed in
the statement of accounts issued after the introduction of such load.
• Any other measures which the mutual funds may feel necessary.

The AMC may change the load from time to time and in case of an exit/repurchase load this may be
linked to the period of holding. It may be noted that any such change in the load structure shall be
applicable on prospective investment only. The exit load (net off GST, if any, payable in respect of
the same) shall be credited to the Scheme of the Fund.

The distributors should disclose all the commissions (in the form of trail commission or any other
mode) payable to them for the different competing schemes of various mutual funds from amongst
which the scheme is being recommended to the investor.

Section II
I. Introduction

A. Definitions/interpretation

Please refer the definitions/interpretation as disclosed under:


https://www.miraeassetmf.co.in/downloads/statutory-disclosure/other-disclosure/offer-documents-
data

B. 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 rate of the securities in which the Scheme invests fluctuates, the value
of your investment in the scheme can go up or down depending on various factors and forces
affecting capital markets and money markets.
• Past performance of the Sponsor/ AMC/ Mutual Fund does not guarantee the future performance
of the Scheme.
• The name of the scheme does not in any manner indicate its quality or its future prospects and
returns.

Page 26 of 56
• The Sponsor is not responsible or liable for any loss resulting from the operation of the Scheme
beyond the initial contribution of Rs.1.00 Lac made by it towards setting up the Mirae Asset
Mutual Fund.
• The present scheme is not a guaranteed or assured return scheme. In addition, the scheme does not
guarantee or assure any dividend and also does not guarantee or assure that it will make any
dividend distribution, though it has every intention to make the same in the distributions of Income
Distribution cum Capital Withdrawal option. All distributions of Income Distribution cum Capital
Withdrawal will be subjected to the investment performance of the Scheme.

Scheme Specific Risk Factors

The Scheme is subject to the principal risks described below. Some or all of these risks may adversely
affect Scheme’s NAV, yield, return and/or its ability to meet its objectives.

• As per the provision of lock-in under the ELSS Guidelines, the ability of Unitholders to realize
returns in the Scheme is restricted for the first three years from the date of their allotment.

Risks Associated with Equity Investments:

• Equity and equity related securities are volatile and prone to price fluctuations on a daily basis.
The liquidity of investments made in the Scheme may be restricted by trading volumes and
settlement periods. Settlement periods may be extended significantly 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 Scheme portfolio would result at times, in potential losses to the Scheme,
should there be a subsequent decline in the value of securities held in the Scheme portfolio. Also,
the value of the Scheme investments may be affected by interest rates, changes in law/ policies of
the government, taxation laws and political, economic or other developments which may have an
adverse bearing on individual Securities, a specific sector or all sectors.

• Investments in equity and equity related securities involve a degree of risk and investors should not
invest in the equity Schemes unless they can afford to take the risk of losing their investment.

• Securities which are not quoted on the stock exchanges are inherently illiquid in nature and carry a
larger liquidity risk in comparison with securities that are listed on the exchanges or offer other
exit options to the investors, including put options. The AMC may choose to invest in unlisted
securities that offer attractive yields within the regulatory limit. This may however increase the
risk of the portfolio. Additionally, the liquidity and valuation of the Scheme investments due to its
holdings of unlisted securities may be affected if they have to be sold prior to the target date of
disinvestment.

Risks Associated with Debt & Money Market Instruments

• Price-Risk or Interest-Rate Risk: Fixed income securities such as bonds, debentures and money
market instruments run price-risk or interest-rate risk. Generally, when interest rates rise, prices of
existing fixed income securities fall and when interest rates drop, such 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.

Page 27 of 56
• Credit Risk: In simple terms this risk means that the issuer of a debenture/ bond or a money
market instrument may default on interest payment or even in paying back the principal amount on
maturity. Even where no default occurs, the price of a security may go down because the credit
rating of an issuer goes down. It must, however, be noted that where the Scheme has invested in
Government securities, there is no credit risk to that extent.

• Liquidity or Marketability Risk: This refers to the ease with which a security can be sold at or
near to its valuation yield-to-maturity (YTM). The primary measure of liquidity risk is the spread
between the bid price and the offer price quoted by a dealer. Liquidity risk is today characteristic
of the Indian fixed income market.

• Reinvestment Risk: Investments in fixed income securities may carry reinvestment risk as interest
rates prevailing on the interest or maturity due dates may differ from the original coupon of the
bond. Consequently, the proceeds may get invested at a lower rate.

• Pre-payment 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.

• Spread Risk: In a floating rate security the coupon is expressed in terms of a spread or mark up
over the benchmark rate. In the life of the security this spread may move adversely leading to loss
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.

• Concentration Risk: The Scheme portfolio may have higher exposure to a single sector, subject to
maximum of 20% of net assets, depending upon availability of issuances in the market at the time
of investment, resulting in higher concentration risk. Any change in government policy / business
environment relevant to the sector may have an adverse impact on the portfolio.

• Different types of securities in which the scheme would invest as given in the SID carry different
levels and types of risk. Accordingly the scheme’s 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.

• C. RISK MITIGATION MEASURES

Concentration Risk
The AMC will mitigate this risk by investing in sufficiently large number of issuers spread across the
sectors so as to maintain optimum diversification and keep issuer/sector specific concentration risk
relatively low.

Liquidity Risk
The Schemes will invest in debt instruments and money market instruments. While the liquidity risk
for government securities, money market instruments and short maturity corporate bonds may be low,
it may be high in case of medium to long maturity corporate bonds. Liquidity risk is today characteristic

Page 28 of 56
of the Indian fixed income market. The Schemes will however, endeavor to minimize liquidity risk by
investing in securities having a liquid market.

Risks Associated with Equity Investments:


The scheme has a diversified portfolio to counter the volatility in the prices of individual stocks.
Diversification in the portfolio reduces the impact of high fluctuations in daily individual stock prices
on the portfolio.

Risk of investing in unlisted securities


As per SEBI guidelines, not more than 10% of the portfolio can be invested in unlisted securities.
Rigorous due diligence is undertaken before any investments are made by the portfolio in unlisted
securities, if any.

Risks Associated with Debt & Money Market Instruments


Credit Risk - The fund has a rigorous credit research process. There is a regulatory and internal cap on
exposure to each issuer. This ensures a diversified portfolio and reduced credit risk in the portfolio.

Risks associated with investing in Tri-Party Repo through CCIL (TREPS)

The mutual fund is a member of securities segment and Tri-party Repo trade settlement of the Clearing
Corporation of India (CCIL). All transactions of the mutual fund in government securities and in
Triparty 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 utilized 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
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 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). However, it may
be noted that a member shall have the right to submit resignation from the membership of the Security
segment if it has taken a loss through replenishment of its contribution to the default fund for the
segments and a loss threshold as notified have been reached. The maximum contribution of a member
towards replenishment of its contribution to the default fund in the 7 days (30 days in case of securities
segment) period immediately after the afore-mentioned loss threshold having been reached shall not
exceed 5 times of its contribution to the Default Fund based on the last re-computation of the Default
Fund or specified amount, whichever is lower. 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.”

operations, private placement, rights offer or negotiated deals.

The Scheme shall not enter into any repurchase and reverse repurchase obligations in all securities held
by it. The scheme does not intend to invest into any credit default swaps.

Credit Evaluation Policy

Credit Analysis at MAMF is an independent function performed by the Risk Management (RM) team.
The RM team sets up and monitors lending limits for each debt issuer. Issuer risk limits cover the
quantum of exposure, maximum tenor and in some instances the type of instruments that can be
purchased by the Investment Manager. An individual scheme’s access to the issuer limit is dependent
on its investment objectives, regulatory restrictions and assets under management. Risk limits for
issuers are assigned and reviewed regularly at an internal investment Committee Meetings.

Credit evaluation process:

With the aim of controlling risks, rigorous in depth credit evaluation of the securities proposed to be
invested in will be carried out by the investment team of the AMC. The credit evaluation process
includes analysis of the operating and financial strength of the issuer as well as management and
industry risk evaluation. For structured obligations, in addition to the above, the evaluation also covers
originator analysis, collateral analysis, structure analysis and embedded risk analysis. Each credit
proposal is discussed by an internal Investment Committee and a limit is assigned, if the issuer/structure
is suitable. The AMC will also be guided by the ratings of Rating Agencies approved by SEBI for this
purpose.

Risk is an inherent part of the investment function. Effective risk management is critical to fund
management for achieving financial soundness. Investments by the Scheme shall be made as per the
investment objective of the Scheme and provisions of SEBI (MF) Regulations. AMC has incorporated
adequate safeguards to manage risk in the portfolio construction process. Risk control would involve
managing risk in order to keep it in line with the investment objective of the Scheme. The risk control
process involves identifying & measuring the risk through various Risk Measurement Tools like but
not limited to calculating risk ratios, tracking error etc. The AMC has Front Office System (FOS) and
that has incorporated all the investment restrictions as per SEBI guidelines and “soft” warning alerts at
appropriate levels for preemptive monitoring. The system enables identifying & measuring the risk
through various risk measurement tools like various risk ratios, average duration and analyzes the same
so as to act in a preventive manner.

Overview of Debt Markets in India

(ii) Investment Objective:

The investment objective of the scheme is to generate long-term capital appreciation from a diversified
portfolio of predominantly equity and equity related instruments. The Scheme does not guarantee or assure
any returns.

• Main Objective - Growth & Income

• Investment pattern

Asset allocation:
Under normal circumstances, the asset allocation will be as follows:

Types of Instruments Indicative allocation


(% of total assets)
Minimum Maximum
Equity and Equity Related Instruments* 80 100
Debt Instruments, Money Market Instruments, G-Secs,
0 20
Cash, CBLO, Reverse Repo, etc.

Subject to SEBI (MF) Regulations, the asset allocation pattern indicated above may change from time
to time, keeping in view market conditions, market opportunities, applicable regulations and political
and economic factors. It must be clearly understood that the percentages can vary substantially
depending upon the perception of the Investment Manager; the intention being at all times to seek to
protect the interests of the Unit holders. As per clause 2.9 of SEBI Master Circular dated May 19, 2023
such changes in the investment pattern will be for short term and for defensive consideration only. In
the event of deviations, portfolio rebalancing will be carried out within 30 calendar days in such cases.

Circular dated May 19, 2023. However, at all times the portfolio will adhere to the overall investment
objectives of the Scheme.

(iii) Terms of Issue

• Listing:

Page 37 of 56
The Scheme being open ended, the Units are not proposed to be listed on any stock exchange and
no transfer facility on the exchange is provided. However, the Trustee reserves the right to list the
units as and when open-end Schemes are permitted to be listed under the Regulations, and if the
Trustee considers it necessary in the interest of unit holders of the Scheme.

• Redemption:

The Unit Holder has the option to request for Redemption either in amount in rupees or in number
of Units. The minimum redemption amount shall be ‘any amount’ or ‘any number of units’ as
requested by the investor at the time of redemption request.

Redemption Price:

The Redemption Price of the Units is the price at which a Unit Holder can redeem Units of a scheme.
It will be calculated as described below:

Redemption Price = Applicable NAV - (Applicable NAV x Exit Load*)


* Exit Load, whatever is applicable, will be charged.

Redemption Price will be calculated for up to three decimal places for the Scheme.

For example, if the Applicable NAV of a Scheme is Rs.10.5550, and it has a 2% Exit Load, the
Redemption Price will be calculated as follows:

Redemption Price = 10.5550 - (10.5550 X 2.00%) i.e. 10.4550 - 0.2110 = 10.3440

If the Scheme has no Exit Load, the Redemption Price will be equal to the Applicable NAV.

The Securities Transaction Tax levied under the Income Tax Act, 1961, at the applicable rate on the
amount of redemption will be reduced from the amount of redemption.

To illustrate:

If a Redemption of 4,900 units is sought by the Unit Holder at a Redemption Price of Rs. 10.3440 (as
calculated above), the redemption amount is Rs. 50,685.60. Securities Transaction Tax (STT) for
instance is 0.001%. This will be further reduced by the STT of Re. 0.50 (i.e. Rs. 50,685.60 x 0.001%),
making the net redemption amount Rs. 50,685.10.

If a Redemption of Rs. 10,000 is sought by the Unit Holder at a Net Redemption Price of Rs. 10.3440
(as calculated above), which will give 966.744 Units; the effective redemption amount will be grossed
up to Rs. 10,204.08 (i.e. 10,000 ÷ (1-2%)) and 966.744 units (10,204.08 ÷ 10.555) will be redeemed.
This is to ensure that the Unit Holder receives the net amount of Rs. 10,000 as desired.

Investors may note that the Trustee has a right to modify the existing Load structure in any manner
subject to a maximum as prescribed under the Regulations and with prospective effect only.

Please refer section – LOAD STRUCTURE.
