I. INTRODUCTION
A. RISK FACTORS
• 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.
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.
• 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.
8
units may be significant in the event of an inordinately large number of redemption
requests or restructuring of the Scheme.
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.
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.

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.
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

underlying position against which the hedging position has been taken, shall be treated under
the limits mentioned above.
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.
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 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
