I. INTRODUCTION

A. 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 may go up or down depending on various
factors and forces affecting the capital market/debt market.
• Past performance of the Sponsor/AMC/Mutual Fund does not guarantee future
performance of the Scheme.
• The name of the Scheme does not in any manner indicate either the quality of the Scheme
or its future prospects and returns.
• The Sponsor is not responsible or liable for any loss resulting from the operation of the
Scheme beyond the initial contribution of Rs. 100,000 made by it towards setting up the
Fund.
• The present Scheme is not a guaranteed or assured return 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.

• Market Risk
The Scheme’s NAV will react to stock market movements .The Investor may lose money
over short or long period due to fluctuation in Scheme’s NAV in response to factors such
as performance of companies whose stock comprises the underlying portfolio, economic
and political developments, changes in interest rates, inflation and other monetary factors
and movement in prices of underlining investments.

• Risks associated with investing in Equities


Equity and Equity related instruments on account of its volatile nature are subject to price
fluctuations on daily basis. The volatility in the value of the equity and equity related
instruments is due to various micro and macro economic factors affecting the securities
markets. This may have adverse impact on individual securities /sector and consequently
on the NAV of Scheme. The inability of the Scheme to make intended securities
purchases due to settlement problems could cause the Scheme to miss certain investment
opportunities as in certain cases, settlement periods may be extended significantly by
unforeseen circumstances. Similarly, the inability to sell securities held in the schemes
portfolio may result, at times, in potential losses to the scheme, should there be a
subsequently decline in the value of the securities held in the schemes portfolio. Trading
volumes, settlement periods and transfer procedures may restrict the liquidity of the
investments. This may impact the ability of the unit holders to redeem their units. In view
of this, the Trustee has the right, in its sole discretion to limit redemptions (including
suspending redemptions) under certain circumstances. The Scheme may find itself
invested in unlisted securities due to external events or corporate actions. This may
increase the risk of the portfolio as these unlisted securities are inherently illiquid in

7
nature and carry larger liquidity risk as compared to the listed securities or those that offer
other exit options to the investors. Investments in equity and equity related securities
involve high degree of risks and investors should not invest in the Scheme unless they can
afford to take the risk of losing their investment.

• Right to Limit Redemptions


The Trustee, in the general interest of the unit holders of the Scheme offered under this
SID and keeping in view of the unforeseen circumstances/unusual market conditions, may
limit the total number of Units which can be redeemed on any Business Day.

• Asset Class Risk


The returns from the types of securities in which the Scheme invests may under perform
from the various general securities markets or different asset classes. Different types of
securities tend to go through cycles of out-performance and under-performance in
comparison with the general securities markets.

• Interest Rate Risk


Changes in interest rates will affect the Scheme’s Net Asset Value. The prices of
securities usually increase as interest rates decline and usually decrease as interest rates
rise. The extent of fall or rise in the prices is guided by duration, which is a function of
the existing coupon, days to maturity and increase or decrease in the level of interest rate.
The new level of interest rate is determined by the rate at which the government raises
new money and/or the price levels at which the market is already dealing in existing
securities. Prices of long-term securities generally fluctuate more in response to interest
rate changes than short-term securities. The price risk is low in the case of the floating
rate or inflation-linked bonds. The price risk does not exist if the investment is made
under a repo agreement. Debt markets, especially in developing markets like India, can be
volatile leading to the possibility of price movements up or down in fixed income
securities and thereby to possible movements in the NAV.

• Credit Risk
Credit Risk means that the issuer of a security may default on interest payments or even
paying back the principal amount on maturity. (i.e. the issuer may be unable to make
timely principal and interest payments on the security). Even where no default occurs, the
prices of security may go down because the credit rating of an issuer goes down. It must
be, however, noted that where the Scheme has invested in Government securities, there is
no risk to that extent.

• Liquidity or Marketability Risk


This refers to the ease at which a security can be sold at or near its true value. The
primary measure of liquidity risk is the spread between the bid price and the offer price
quoted by a dealer. Liquidity risk is characteristic of the Indian fixed income market.
Trading Volumes, settlement periods and transfer procedures may restrict the liquidity of
the investments made by the Scheme. Different segments of the Indian financial markets
have different settlement periods and such period may be extended significantly by
unforeseen circumstances leading to delays in receipt of proceeds from sale of securities.
As liquidity of the investments made by the Scheme could, at times, be restricted by
trading volumes and settlement periods, the time taken by the Fund for redemption of

8
units may be significant in the event of an inordinately large number of redemption
requests or restructuring of the Scheme.

• Risks associated with Investing in Derivatives


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
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.

Derivative products are specialized instruments that require investment techniques and
risk analysis different from those associated with stocks. The use of a derivative requires
an understanding not only of the underlying instrument but of the derivative itself.
Derivatives require the maintenance of adequate controls to monitor the transactions
entered into, the ability to assess the risk that a derivative adds to the portfolio and the
ability to forecast price or interest rate movements correctly. There is a possibility that a
loss may be sustained by the portfolio as a result of the failure of another party (usually
referred to as the “counterparty”) 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 and the inability of derivatives to correlate perfectly with underlying assets,
rates and indices, illiquidity risk whereby the Scheme may not be able to sell or purchase
derivative quickly enough at a fair price. 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.

• Risks associated with Stock Lending


Stock Lending is a lending of securities through an SEBI 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.

In case the Scheme undertakes stock lending as prescribed in the Regulations, it may, at
times be exposed to counter party risk and other risks associated with the securities
lending. Unitholders of the Scheme should note that 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 Scheme 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 lent.
The Fund may not be able to sell such lent securities and this can lead to temporary
illiquidity.

9
B. REQUIREMENT OF MINIMUM INVESTORS IN THE SCHEME

The Scheme/Plan shall have a minimum of 20 investors and no single investor shall
account for more than 25% of the corpus of the Scheme/Plan(s). However, if such limit is
breached during the NFO of the Scheme, the Fund will endeavor to ensure that within a
period of three months or the end of the succeeding calendar quarter from the close of the
NFO of the Scheme, whichever is earlier, the Scheme complies with these two conditions.
In case the Scheme / Plan(s) does not have a minimum of 20 investors in the stipulated
period, the provisions of Regulation 39(2)(c) of the SEBI (MF) Regulations would
become applicable automatically without any reference from SEBI and accordingly the
Scheme / Plan(s) shall be wound up and the units would be redeemed at applicable NAV.
The two conditions mentioned above shall also be complied within each subsequent
calendar quarter thereafter, on an average basis, as specified by SEBI. If there is a breach
of the 25% limit by any investor over the quarter, a rebalancing period of one month
would be allowed and thereafter the investor who is in breach of the rule shall be given 15
days notice to redeem his exposure over the 25 % limit. Failure on the part of the said
investor to redeem his exposure over the 25 % limit within the aforesaid 15 days would
lead to automatic redemption by the Mutual Fund on the applicable Net Asset Value on
the 15th day of the notice period. The Fund shall adhere to the requirements prescribed by
SEBI from time to time in this regard.

II. INFORMATION ABOUT THE SCHEME

A. TYPE OF THE SCHEME

An Open-ended equity scheme

B. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The investment objective of the Scheme is to achieve long term capital appreciation by
investing in upto 25 companies with long term sustainable competitive advantage and growth
potential.

C. ASSET ALLOCATION

The asset allocation pattern of the Scheme would be as follows:


Indicative allocations Risk Profile
Instruments (% of total assets)
Minimum Maximum High/Medium/Low
Equity and equity related instruments*
selected from Top 100 listed companies 65 100 High
by market capitalization
Equity and equity related instruments*
of the next 50 companies by market 0 25 High
capitalization
Debt, Money Market Instruments, G-
Sec, Bonds, Cash and Cash Equivalents, 0 10 Low
etc.
*subject to overall limit of 25 companies

Money Market Instruments include CMBs, T-Bills, and Government securities with an
unexpired maturity upto one year, CBLOs & Repo/ Reverse Repo.

The scheme shall invest in equity and equity related instruments as per the investment
objective of the scheme. While it is the intention of the Scheme to maintain the maximum
exposure guidelines provided in the table above, there may be instances when these
percentages may be exceeded. Typically, this may occur while the Scheme is new and the
corpus is small thereby causing diversification issues.

Exposure by the Scheme in derivative instruments shall not exceed 50% of the total Net
Assets of Scheme. The Scheme will not participate in stock lending more than 20% of total
Net Assets of the Scheme and would limit its exposure with regard to stock lending for a
single intermediary to the extent of 5% of the total net assets at the time of lending.

The scheme will not invest in Securitised debt and foreign securities.

The cumulative gross exposure through equity, debt and derivative positions should not
exceed 100% of the net assets of the scheme.

17
The Scheme may review the above pattern of investments based on views on Indian equities
and asset liability management needs. However, at all times the portfolio will adhere to the
overall investment objectives of the Scheme. Subject to the Regulations, the asset allocation
pattern indicated above may change from time to time, keeping in view market conditions,
market opportunities, applicable regulations, legislative amendments and political and
economic factors. It must be clearly understood that the percentages stated above are only
indicative and not absolute. These proportions can vary 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.

CHANGES IN INVESTMENT PATTERN

The asset allocation indicated above may change from time to time keeping in view the
market conditions, legislative and regulative amendments and political and economic factors,
subject to Regulations. It must be clearly understood that the percentages stated above are
purely indicative and can change substantially depending on the perception of the Investment
Manager with the sole intention of protecting the interests of the Unitholders. The Fund shall
seek Unitholders approval if necessary and in accordance with the Regulations, if there is any
change in the Fundamental attributes, pursuant to the change in Investment Pattern. While it
is the intention of the Scheme to maintain the maximum exposure guidelines provided in the
table above there might be instances when these percentages may be exceeded. In case of
deviation, if any, from the asset allocation pattern, the AMC will endeavour to rebalance
within a period of 30 days.

Explanation:
a. In case of securities where the principal is to be repaid in a single payout the maturity of
the securities shall mean residual maturity. In case the principal is to be repaid in more
than one payout then the maturity of the securities shall be calculated on the basis of
weighted average maturity of security.

b. In case the maturity of the security falls on a non-business day then settlement of
securities will take place on the next business day.

The Scheme will retain the flexibility to invest in the entire range of securities as per
investment objectives of the Scheme and as per the SEBI Regulations.

D. INVESTMENT BY THE SCHEME

The corpus of the Scheme will be invested primarily in equity and Equity Related Securities.
The Scheme may invest its corpus in debt and Money Market Instruments.

100% of the net assets of the Scheme. The Fund shall not write options or purchase
instruments with embedded written options. The total exposure related to option premium

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:

Examples of certain Derivative transactions


Please note that the following descriptions and examples included in this section are not
intended to be exhaustive and are included for illustrative purposes only.

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

Index Futures
A futures contract is an agreement between the buyer and the seller for the purchase and sale
of a particular asset at a specific price on a specific future date. The price at which the
underlying asset would change hands in the future is agreed upon at the time of entering into
the contract. The actual purchase or sale of the underlying asset involving payment of cash
and delivery of the instrument does not take place until the contracted date of delivery.
A futures contract involves an obligation on both the parties to fulfil the terms of the contract.

21
Stock index futures are instruments which are designed to provide exposure to the movement
of a particular equity market index.

The BSE and the NSE have started trading in index futures of 1, 2 and 3 month maturities.
The pricing of an index future is the function of the underlying index and interest rates.

• Investment in stock index futures can give exposure to the index without directly buying
the Stocks.
• The Scheme can sell futures to hedge against market movements effectively without the
stock it holds.

Illustration
1 month nifty future price on day 1: 5675.
Assume Scheme buys 200 futures contracts at this level of 5675.
Each lot has a nominal value equivalent to 50 units of the underlying index

Scenario 1 On the date of settlement, the future price = closing spot price of the index = 5685
The profits for the Scheme as a result of this transaction = (5685-5675)* 200 lots * 50 = Rs
100,000

Scenario 2 On the date of settlement, the future price = closing spot price of the index = 5670
The loss for the Scheme as a result of this transaction = (5670-5675)* 200 lots * 50 = (Rs
50,000)

As illustrated by the above scenarios, in simple terms (not taking in to account any margin
that may be payable to the Scheme’s counterparty as a result of entering in to the futures
transaction) the net impact for the Scheme will be a function of the closing spot price of the
underlying index on the date of settlement relative to the original purchase price at the outset.

Illustration
Assume the Scheme buys a 1 month call option on Company ‘X’ at a strike of Rs. 290, and
the current market price is Rs.291.

Assume the Scheme will have to pay a premium of say Rs. 5 to buy this call.
If the stock price goes below Rs. 290 during the tenure of the call, the Scheme avoids the loss
it would have incurred had it bought the stock instead of the call option. However, the
Scheme gives up the premium of Rs. 25 that has to be paid in order to protect the Scheme
from this probable downside.

If the stock goes above Rs. 290, the Scheme is able to exercise its right and own Company
‘X’ at a cost price of Rs. 290, thereby participating in the upside of the stock.

Buying a put option


Buying a put option on a stock originally held by the buyer gives him / her the right, but not
the obligation, to sell the underlying stock at the designated strike price. Here the downside
risks are limited to the premium paid to purchase the option including SEBI Circular dated
November 16, 2007.

22
Illustration
Assume the Scheme owns Company ‘X’ and also buys a three-month put option on Company
‘X’ at a strike of Rs. 290, and the current market price being say Rs.291.

Assume the Scheme will have to pay a premium of say Rs. 2 to buy this put.
If the stock price goes below Rs. 290 during the tenure of the put, the Scheme can still
exercise the put and sell the stock at Rs. 290, avoiding therefore any downside on the stock
below Rs. 290. However, the Scheme gives up the fixed premium of Rs. 2 that has to be paid
in order to protect the Scheme from this probable downside.

If the stock goes above Rs. 290, say to Rs. 320, it will not exercise its option. The Scheme
will participate in the upside of the stock, since it can now sell the stock at the prevailing
market price of Rs. 320.

E. INVESTMENT STRATEGY

The primary investment objective of the Scheme is to generate returns by investing in a


portfolio of primarily in equity and equity related instruments, money market instruments,
cash and cash equivalents. The Fund may also enter into “Stock Lending” or such other
transactions, in accordance with the Regulations, as may be allowed to Mutual Funds from
time to time.

The scheme shall follow an active investment style and it will seek to invest in companies
with strong competitive position, good industry prospects, good business prospects along
with quality management that may help them to achieve good growth over medium to long
term.

While making investment decisions, besides other factors, the impact of the prevailing
economic environment over the medium to long term prospects of the companies will also be
taken into consideration.

The AMC will endeavour to meet the investment objective of the Scheme while maintaining
a balance between safety, liquidity and return on investments.

Risk Control
Risk is an inherent part of the investment function. Effective Risk management is critical to
fund management for achieving financial soundness. Investment by the Scheme would be
made as per the investment objective of the Scheme and in accordance with SEBI
Regulations. AMC has adequate safeguards to manage risk in the portfolio construction
process. Risk control would involve managing risk in order to keep in line with the
investment objective of the Scheme. The risk control process would include identifying the
risk and taking proper measures for the same. The system has incorporated all the investment
restrictions as per the SEBI guidelines and enables identifying and measuring the risk through
various risk management tools like various portfolio analytics, risk ratios, average duration
and analyses the same and acts in a preventive manner.

23
Stock Lending
Stock 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.

The Scheme may lend securities from its portfolio in accordance with the Regulations and the
applicable SEBI circulars MFD/CIR/01/ 047/99 dated February 10, 1999 and,
MRD/DoP/SE/Dep/Cir- 14 /2007 dated December 20, 2007, SEBI / IMD / CIR No 14 /
187175/ 2009 dated December 15, 2009 and SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996. The
AMC/Fund shall also adhere to guidelines issued under Securities Lending Scheme, 1997.
Securities’ lending shall enable the Scheme to earn income that may partially offset its
expenses and thereby reduce the effect these expenses have on the Scheme’s ability to
provide investment returns that correspond generally to the performance of its Basket. The
Scheme will pay reasonable administrative and custodial fees in connection with the lending
of securities. The Scheme will be exposed to the risk of loss should a borrower default on its
obligation to return the borrowed securities. The Scheme share of income from the lending
collateral will be included in the Scheme’s gross income. The Fund will comply with the
conditions for securities lending specified by SEBI Regulations and circulars. The Scheme
will not lend more than 20% of its corpus and will not exceed more than 5% through a single
intermediary.

Investment by AMC in the Scheme


AMC may invest in the Scheme during the New Fund Offer or on an ongoing basis in
accordance with the SEBI Regulations. The AMC shall not charge investment management
fees on investment by the AMC in the Scheme.

Investment of Subscription Money


The Mutual Fund / AMC shall commence investment out of the NFO proceeds received in
accordance with the investment objectives of the Scheme only on or after the closure of the
NFO period.

J. SCHEME PERFORMANCE

This Scheme has not completed one year. Hence, performance of the Scheme has not been
provided.

III. UNITS AND OFFER

This section provides details you need to know for investing in the Scheme.

A. NEW FUND OFFER (NFO)

The Scheme is open for on-going subscription. Therefore the section ‘NEW FUND
OFFER’ is not relevant except for the details as under:

Plans / Options The Scheme offers two Plans: Regular Plan


and Direct Plan

Regular Plan is for Investors who


purchase/subscribe units in a Scheme through
any Distributor (AMFI Registered
Distributor/ARN Holder).

Direct Plan is for investors who purchase


/subscribe units in a Scheme directly with the
Fund and is not routed through a Distributor
(AMFI Registered Distributor/ARN Holder).
Direct Plan will have a lower expense ratio
excluding distribution expenses, commission
for distribution of Units etc.

There will be no separate portfolio for Direct


Plan and Regular Plan. Further, both the
options i.e. Growth and Dividend will have
common portfolio under the Scheme.

Each Plan offers the following Options:


(a) Growth Option
(b) Dividend Option (with Payout and Re-
investment facility)

(a) Growth Option:


Under this Option, dividend will not be
declared. Income/profits received/earned on
the Scheme’s corpus would be accumulated by
the Fund as capital accretion & will remain
invested in the Scheme and will be reflected in
the Net Asset Value (NAV) of Units under this
Option.

30
(b) Dividend Option:
Under this option, dividends will be declared
(subject to deduction of tax at source and
statutory levies, if any) at periodic intervals at
the discretion of the Trustees, subject to
availability of distributable surplus. On
payment of dividend, the NAV of the Units
under dividend option will fall to the extent of
the dividend payout and applicable statutory
levies, if any. All the dividend payments shall
be in accordance and compliance with SEBI
Regulations, as applicable from time to time.
Following facilities are available under this
Option:

(i) Dividend Payout facility


Under this option, Dividends, if declared, will
be paid (subject to deduction of dividend
distribution tax and statutory levy, if any) to
those Unitholders, whose names appear in the
register of Unitholders on the record date.

If dividend payable under the dividend payout


option is equal to or less than Rs. 500/-, then it
would be compulsorily re-invested in the
option of the Scheme.

(ii) Dividend Reinvestment facility:


Unitholders opting for dividend option may
choose to reinvest the dividends to be received
by them. Under this facility the dividend due
and payable to the Unit holders will be
compulsorily and without any further act by
the Unit holders, reinvested in the dividend
option at a price based on the prevailing Net
Asset Value per Unit on the record date. The
Units for the purpose of re-investment will be
created and credited to the Unitholder’s
account at the applicable NAV announced
immediately following the record date. There
shall, however, be no entry load and exit load
on the dividends so reinvested.

The AMC reserves the right to


introduce/discontinue further Plans / Options
as and when deemed fit.
Default Plan / Option Investors subscribing Units under Direct Plan
of a Scheme should indicate “Direct Plan”
against the Scheme name in the application
31
form. Investors should also mention “Direct”
in the ARN column of the application form.
However, in case Distributor code is
mentioned in the application form but “Direct
Plan” is mentioned against the Scheme name,
then the Distributor code will be ignored and
the application will be processed under Direct
Plan. Further, where application is received
without mentioning Distributor code or where
“Direct” is mentioned in the ARN Column,
then the application will be processed under
Direct Plan.

If the investor does not clearly specify the


choice of option at the time of investing, it will
be deemed that the investor has opted for
Growth option and in case he does not specify
payout/re-investment under Dividend option, it
will be deemed to be dividend re-investment.

Dividend Policy The Trustees may declare dividend subject to


the availability of distributable surplus
calculated in accordance with SEBI (Mutual
Funds) Regulations, 1996. The actual
declaration of dividend and the frequency of
distribution will be entirely at the discretion of
the Trustees. There is no assurance or
guarantee to Unit holders as to the rate of
dividend distribution nor that the dividends
will be declared regularly, though it is the
intention of the Mutual Fund to make regular
dividend distribution under the Dividend Plan.
The dividend would be paid to the Unitholders
whose names appear in the Register of
Unitholders as on the record date.

Dividend Distribution Procedure

procedure for Dividend distribution would be

Introduction of Motilal Motilal Oswal Value Index (MOVI) Pack Plan is a Systematic
Oswal Value Index (MOVI) Transfer Plan (STP) from select debt/liquid scheme into select
42
Pack Plan equity scheme that enables allocation between debt and equity
asset classes. It allows Unit holders holding units in non-demat
form to take advantage of fluctuations in equity market
valuations and not just market levels based on MOVI. Under
this facility, Investors may opt to transfer amounts from
Motilal Oswal MOSt Ultra Short Term Bond Fund (referred to
as Transferor Scheme) to Motilal Oswal MOSt Focused 25
Fund (referred to as Transferee Scheme) with allocations based
on MOVI levels. The transfers will be enabled in the reverse as
well.

The Salient features of the Plan are as under:

1. Motilal Oswal Value Index (MOVI) helps gauge equity


market. The Index is calculated taking into account Price to
Earnings, Price to Book and Dividend Yield of the CNX
Nifty Index.

A low MOVI level indicates that the market valuation


appears to be cheap and one may allocate a higher
percentage of their investments to Equity as an asset
class. A high MOVI level indicates that the market
valuation appears to be expensive and that one may reduce
their equity allocation.

2. India Index Services & Products Ltd. (IISL) is the


calculating agent of NIFTY MOVI. IISL shall calculate,
compile, maintain and provide NIFTY MOVI values to
Motilal Oswal Asset Management Company Ltd. NIFTY
MOVI values will be published on the MOAMC website
on a daily basis.

3. Transfer: This transfer is made from the Transferor Scheme


to the Transferee Scheme, on the date of allocation based
on NIFTY MOVI levels.

Reverse Transfer: This transfer is made from the


Transferee Scheme to the Transferor Scheme, when
appreciation in the market value of the Transferee Scheme
results in a breach of the prescribed allocation level as
determined by NIFTY MOVI.

4. This Plan presently offers two enrolment options:


a. One Time Investment
b. Systematic Transfer Plan (STP) with a minimum of 6
installments.

43
5. Minimum amount under this Plan is as follows:
Options Minimum Amount of Transfer (Rs.)
One Time Rs. 5000/- and in multiples of Re. 1/-
Investment thereafter
STP Rs. 1000/- and in multiples of Re. 1/ thereafter

6. The date of allocation will be the 15th of every month. In


case the date of allocation falls on a Non-Business Day or
falls during a book closure period, the immediate following
Business Day will be considered as the date of allocation.

Note: Under ‘One Time Investment’ enrolment option, in


addition to the 15th of every month, allocation will occur on
the business day succeeding the date of enrolment into the
MOVI Pack Plan.

Under ‘STP’ enrolment option, if the Unit holder has an


existing Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) in the Transferor
scheme where the date of SIP falls on a date later than or
on 15th of every month, then allocation for that amount will
occur on 15th of the subsequent month.

7. On the date of allocation, the prescribed percentage of the


amount will be transferred in the Transferee Scheme at the
closing NAV of the same day i.e. date of allocation.

8. The AMC will require 7 calendar days from the date of


submission of valid enrolment forms to register the
Investor under this Plan. Therefore, in the intervening
period i.e. date of submission of enrolment form and date
of registration, if the date of allocation is crossed, then the
same will be considered at the next date of allocation.

9. The amount transferred under this Plan from the Transferor
