I. INTRODUCTION

A. RISK FACTORS

7

1. Standard Risk Factors

• Mutual funds and Securities investments are subject to market risks and there is no

assurance or guarantee that the objectives of the Scheme will be achieved. • Past performance of the Sponsor/AMC/Mutual Fund does not guarantee future

performance of the Scheme. • Mutual funds, being vehicles of Securities investments, are subject to market and other

risks and there can be no guarantee against loss resulting from investing in the Scheme. Investment in the Mutual Fund Units involves investment risks such as trading volumes, settlement risk, liquidity risk, default risk including the possible loss of principal. Further risks may include fluctuations in the equity and bond markets, fluctuations in interest rates, the prevailing political and economic environment, changes in government policy, factors specific to the issuer of the Securities, tax Laws, liquidity of the Securities, etc.

• As the price / value / interest rates of the Securities in which the Scheme invests

fluctuates, the value of your investment and the NAV of the Units in the Scheme may go up or down depending on various factors and forces affecting capital markets.

• 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 or shortfall resulting from the operation

of the Scheme beyond the initial contribution of Rs 1,00,000/- (Rupees One Lakh only) made by it towards setting up the Mutual Fund. The associates of the Sponsor are not responsible or liable for any loss or shortfall resulting from the operation of the Scheme.

• The AMC has no previous experience in managing a mutual fund in India and the

present Scheme is the first scheme being launched under its management. • The present Scheme is not a guaranteed or assured return scheme. • Investment decisions made by the AMC may not always be profitable. • From time to time and subject to the Regulations, the Sponsor, their affiliates, associates,

subsidiaries, the Mutual Fund and the AMC may invest directly or indirectly in the Scheme. These entities may acquire a substantial portion of the Schemes' Units and collectively constitute a major investor in the Scheme. Accordingly, Redemption of Units held by such entities may have an adverse impact on the Scheme because the timing of such Redemption may impact the ability of other Unitholders to Redeem their Units.

• Different types of Securities in which the Scheme would invest as given in this Scheme

Information Document carry different levels and types of risk. Accordingly the Scheme’s risk may increase or decrease depending upon its investment pattern. For example, equity and Equity Related Securities carry a higher amount of risk than debt Securities.

• As permitted under the Regulations, the AMC will engage the services of Distributors for

the distribution of Units of the Scheme and may make differential payment to the Distributors based on varying fee structures as may be agreed between the AMC and each Distributor, the amount of which would typically be connected to the volume of sales.

• Reinvestment Risk

8

This risk refers to the interest rate levels at which cash flows received from the Securities in the Scheme are reinvested. The additional income from reinvestment is the "interest on interest" component. The risk is that the rate at which interim cash flows can be reinvested may be lower than that originally assumed.

• Liquidity Risk

o This refers to the ease at which Securities can be sold at or near its valuation yield-to-maturity (YTM) or true value. The primary measure of liquidity risk is the spread between the bid price and the offer price quoted by a dealer. Trading volumes, settlement periods and transfer procedures may restrict the liquidity of some of these investments. Different segments of the Indian financial markets have different settlement periods, and such periods may be extended significantly by unforeseen circumstances. Further, delays in settlement could result in temporary periods when a portion of the assets of the Scheme are not invested and no return is earned thereon or the Scheme may miss attractive investment opportunities

o The Scheme may not be able to immediately sell certain types of illiquid Securities. The

purchase price and subsequent valuation of restricted and illiquid Securities may reflect a discount, which may be significant, from the market price of comparable Securities for which a liquid market exists.

• Risk of Substantial Redemptions

o Substantial Redemptions of Units within a limited period of time could require the Scheme to liquidate positions more rapidly than would otherwise be desirable, which could adversely affect the value of both the Units being Redeemed and that of the outstanding Units of the Scheme. The risk of a substantial Redemption of the Units may be exacerbated where an investment is made in the Scheme as part of a structured product with a fixed life and where such structured products utilise hedging techniques. Please refer to the sections on ‘Right to Limit Redemptions’ and ‘Suspension of Purchase / Redemption / Switch of Units’ in the Statement of Additional Information. Regardless of the period of time in which Redemptions occur, the resulting reduction in the net asset value of the Scheme could also make it more difficult for the Scheme to generate profits or recover losses.

o As the liquidity of the Scheme’s investments could, at times, be restricted by low

trading volumes and long settlement periods, the time taken by the Scheme for Redemption of Units may be significant in the event of an unusually large number of Redemption requests. In view of this, the Trustees have the right, in their sole discretion to limit Redemptions (including suspending Redemption) under certain circumstances, as described under the sections on ‘Right to Limit Redemptions’ and ‘Suspension of Purchase / Redemption / Switch of Units’ in the Statement of Additional Information.

2. Scheme Specific Risk Factors

(a) Risk Associated with Investing in Equities

i) General Provisions

• Subject to the stated investment objective, the Scheme proposes to primarily invest in

equity and Equity Related Securities. The Scheme is intended for long-term investors who can accept the risks associated with investing primarily in the Securities of the type held in the Scheme. Equity instruments by nature are volatile and prone to price fluctuations on a daily basis due to both macro and micro factors. Investors in equity and Equity Related Securities will be subject to the risks associated with equities, the values of which in general

9

fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and the general market and economic conditions. In particular, investors should be aware that equity and Equity Related Securities are subordinate in the right of payment to other corporate Securities, including debt Securities. The inability of the Scheme to dispose of Securities due to settlement or other problems could result either in losses to the Scheme due to subsequent declines in value of the particular Security or, if the Scheme has entered into a contract to sell the Security, could result in possible liability to the purchaser.

• The Fund Manager, may invest in the Securities of smaller, lesser-known companies. These

investments may involve greater risk and the possibility of greater portfolio price volatility than investing in larger, more mature or better-known firms. Amongst other reasons for the greater price volatility of Securities of small companies and unseasoned stocks are the less certain growth prospects of smaller firms, the lower degree of liquidity of the markets for such stocks, and the greater sensitivity of small companies to changing economic conditions. For example, these companies are associated with higher investment risk than that normally associated with larger firms due to the greater business risks of small size and limited product lines, markets, distribution channels and financial and managerial resources. Such Securities, including those of newer or recently restructured companies or those which may have experienced financial difficulties, may be more volatile in price than larger capitalised stocks.

ii) Concentration Risks

The Scheme may concentrate its investments in the Securities of companies of certain sectors and will therefore be subject to the risks associated with such concentration. In addition, the small capitalisation and newly-established nature of many of the companies in which the Scheme invests could directly expose the Scheme to higher levels of volatility and risk than would generally be the case in a more diverse fund portfolio of equity Securities.

iii) Convertible Securities

The Scheme may invest in convertible Securities, that are debt obligations of the issuer convertible at a stated exchange rate into equity shares of the issuer. As with all debt Securities, the market value of convertible Securities tends to decline as interest rates increase and, conversely increases as interest rates decline. Convertible Securities generally offer lower interest or dividend yields than non-convertible Securities of similar quality. However, when the market price of the equity shares underlying a convertible Security exceeds the conversion price, the price of the convertible Security tends to reflect the value of the underlying equity shares. As the market price of the underlying equity shares declines, the convertible Security tends to trade increasingly on a yield basis, and thus may not depreciate to the same extent as the underlying equity shares. Convertible Securities generally rank senior to equity shares in an issuer’s capital structure and are consequently of higher quality and entail less risk than the issuer’s equity shares. However, the extent to which such risk is reduced depends in large measure upon the degree to which the convertible Security sells above its value as a fixed income Security. In evaluating a convertible Security, the AMC will give primary emphasis to the attractiveness of the underlying equity shares.

iv) Corporate Action and Proxy Voting

• From time to time, the issuer of a Security held in the Scheme may initiate a corporate action relating to that Security. Corporate actions relating to equity Securities may include, among others, an offer to purchase new shares, or to tender existing shares, of that Security at a certain price. Corporate actions relating to debt Securities may include, among others, an offer for early redemption of the debt Security, or an offer to convert the debt security into stock. Certain corporate actions are voluntary, meaning that the Scheme may only

10

participate in the corporate action if it elects to do so in a timely fashion. Participation in certain corporate actions may enhance the value of the Scheme.

• In cases where the Fund or the Fund Manager receives sufficient advance notice of a

voluntary corporate action, the Fund Manager will exercise its discretion, in good faith, to determine whether the Scheme will participate in that corporate action. If the Fund Manager does not receive sufficient advance notice of a voluntary corporate action, the Fund Manager acting on behalf of the Scheme may not be able to timely elect to participate in that corporate action. Participation or lack of participation in a voluntary corporate action may result in a negative impact on the value of the Scheme.

• The AMC may in its discretion exercise or procure the exercise of voting or other rights

which may be exercisable in relation to Securities held by the Scheme. In relation to the exercise of such rights the AMC may establish guidelines for the exercise of voting or other rights and the AMC may, in its discretion, elect not to exercise or procure the exercise of such voting or other rights.

(b) Risks Associated with Investing in Indian Markets

• Investments in India may be affected by political, social, and economic developments affecting India, which may include changes in exchange rates and controls, interest rates, government policies, diplomatic conditions, hostile relations with neighbouring countries, taxation policies including the possibility of expropriation or confiscatory taxation, imposition of withholding taxes on dividend or interest payments, limitation on removal of funds or assets of the Scheme and ethnic, religious and racial disaffections or conflict.

• The relative small size and inexperience of the Securities markets in India and the limited

volume of trading in Securities may make the Scheme’s investments illiquid and more volatile than investments in more established markets.

• In addition, the settlement systems may be less developed than in more established markets,

which could impede the Scheme’s ability to effect portfolio transactions and may result in delayed settlement and the Scheme’s investments being settled through a more limited range of counterparties with an accompanying enhanced credit risk.

(c) Risks Associated with Investing in Foreign Securities

i) General Provisions

• It is the AMC's belief that overseas investments including those in ADRs / GDRs, foreign Securities and in overseas ETFs offers new investment and portfolio diversification opportunities into multi-market and multi-currency products. However, such investments also entail additional risks. Such overseas investments carry exchange rate risks related to depreciation of foreign currency and the country specific risks, in addition to the risks of investing in domestic Securities. The country specific risks would include events such as change in regulations or political circumstances like introduction of extraordinary exchange rate controls, restrictions on repatriation of capital due to exchange rate controls, bi-lateral political tensions leading to immobilization of overseas financial assets and the applicable tax laws of the respective jurisdiction for the execution of trades or otherwise. Such overseas investment opportunities may be pursued by the AMC provided they are considered appropriate in terms of the overall investment objectives of the Scheme. Since the Scheme may invest only partially in overseas markets, there may not be readily available and widely accepted benchmarks to measure performance of the Scheme. To

11

manage risks associated with foreign currency and interest rate exposure, the Scheme may use Derivatives for efficient portfolio management including hedging.

• Certain markets may require payment for Securities to be made before delivery, subjecting

the Scheme with the accompanying credit risk.

ii) Currency Risk

• Where Securities of the Scheme are denominated in a different currency from the Indian Rupee, investors should note that the NAV will be calculated in the Indian Rupee equivalent of that currency. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time causing, along with other factors, the NAV to fluctuate as well. Currency exchange rates can be affected unpredictably by a number of factors, including intervention or failure to intervene by governments or central banks or by currency controls or political developments throughout the world.

• Restrictions on currency trading that may be imposed will have an adverse effect on the

value of the Securities of companies that trade or operate in countries subject to such restrictions. The repatriation of capital to India may also be impacted by changes in regulations concerning exchange controls or political circumstances as well as the application to it of other restrictions on investment.

• In addition, country risks include events such as introduction of extraordinary exchange

controls, bi-lateral conflicts, etc., leading to immobilization of the overseas financial assets and the prevalent tax laws of the respective jurisdiction for execution of trades or otherwise.

(d) Risks Associated with Investing in Derivatives

• The Scheme may invest in Derivative products like stock index futures, interest rate swaps,

forward rate agreements or other Derivatives in accordance with and to the extent permitted under the Regulations.

• 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 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 and possibly greater

than, the risks associated with investing directly in Securities and other traditional investments. Therefore, Derivatives require investment techniques and risk analysis different from those associated with traditional Securities such as stocks and bonds. The use of Derivatives requires an understanding not only of the underlying instrument but also of the Derivative itself. If the Fund Manager is incorrect in its forecasts of market values and currency exchange rates, the investment performance of the Scheme may be less favourable than it would have been if this investment technique were not used.

• An investment in Derivatives may involve additional risks for investors. These additional

risks may arise as a result of any or all of the following: (i) the creditworthiness of the counterparties to such Derivative transactions; and/or (ii) the potential illiquidity of the markets for Derivatives. To the extent that Derivatives are utilised to seek to achieve the investment objectives of the Scheme, and for purposes other than hedging, the overall risk of loss to the Scheme may be increased. To the extent that Derivatives are utilised for

12

hedging purposes, the risk of loss to the Scheme may be increased where the value of the Derivative instrument and the value of the Security or position which it is hedging are insufficiently correlated.

• There is the possibility that a loss may be sustained by the Scheme as a result of the failure

of the counterparties to comply with the terms of the Derivatives contract. Therefore a default on the contract would deprive the Scheme of unrealised profits and / or the hedging benefits of the contract or force the Scheme to cover its purchase or sale commitments, if any, at the current market price. Other risks in using Derivatives include the risk of mispricing or improper valuation of Derivatives and the inability of Derivatives to correlate perfectly with underlying assets, rates and indices.

• Derivatives require the maintenance of adequate controls to monitor the transactions

entered into. The Scheme bears a risk that it may not be able to correctly forecast future market trends or the value of assets, indexes or other financial or economic factors in establishing derivative positions for the Scheme. Trading in Derivatives carries a high degree of risk although they are traded at a relatively small amount of margin which provides the possibility of significant profit or loss in comparison with the principal investment amount. Even a small price movement in the underlying asset could have a large impact on their value. The Scheme may find it difficult or impossible to execute Derivative transactions in certain circumstances. For example, when there are insufficient bids or suspension of trading due to price limits or circuit breakers, the Scheme may face liquidity issues. Besides the price of the underlying asset, the volatility, tenor and interest rates affect the pricing of Derivatives.

• Futures and Call Options

o The Scheme may invest in Derivatives such as futures and call options. The options buyer’s risk is limited to the premium paid, while the risk of an options writer is unlimited. However the gains of an options writer are limited to the premiums earned. The writer of a call option bears a risk of loss if the value of the underlying asset increases above the exercise price. The loss can be unlimited as underlying asset can increase to any levels. The writer of a put option bears the risk of loss if the value of the underlying asset declines below the exercise price and the loss is limited to strike price. The relevant stock exchange, if any, may impose restrictions on the exercise of options and may also restrict the exercise of options at certain times in specified circumstances.

o Investments in index futures face the same risk as investments in a portfolio of shares

representing an index. The extent of loss is the same as in the underlying Securities. o The risk of loss in trading futures contracts can be substantial, because of the low

margin deposits required, the extremely high degree of leverage involved in futures pricing and the potential high volatility of the futures markets.

• ISDA Master Agreements

o The Scheme may enter into Derivative transactions of the type governed by the ISDA Master Agreement. The ISDA Master Agreement is a standard agreement commonly used in the Derivatives market which sets forth key provisions governing the contractual relationship between the parties to such agreement, including each of their rights, liabilities and obligations.

o On each date on which a Derivatives transaction is entered into by the Trustees / AMC,

on behalf of the Scheme, the Scheme will be deemed to have given certain

13

representations and undertakings to each counterparty with whom the ISDA Master Agreement is entered into on its behalf. Such representations and undertakings include, without limitation, representations and undertakings, from and in respect of the Scheme, as to the due establishment, good standing and corporate powers of the Scheme, the obtaining of all requisite consents and compliance with applicable laws by the Scheme and the binding nature of obligations on the Scheme under the relevant ISDA Master Agreement and associated contracts and transactions. The Trustees / AMC must notify the Fund Manager if at any time it becomes aware that it is in breach of any such representations or unable to continue to comply with any such undertakings. Any such breach may, in addition to other potential consequences, lead to each relevant counterparty being able to unilaterally terminate its ISDA Master Agreement with the Trustees / AMC on behalf of the Scheme and to close out any open contracts with it.

(e) Risks Associated with Investing in Securitised Debt

• Securitised debt instruments carry credit risk of the obligors and are dependent on the servicing of the pass through certificate / contributions or similar instruments. However such risks are mitigated suitably by appropriate pool selection as well as credit enhancements specified by rating agencies. In cases where the underlying facilities are linked to benchmark rates, the securitised debt instrument may be adversely impacted by adverse movements in benchmark rates. However this risk is mitigated to an extent by appropriate credit enhancements specified by rating agencies. Securitised debt instruments also carry the risks of prepayment by the obligors, which can be expected to accelerate during periods of declining interest rates. In case of prepayments of securitised debt instruments, it may result in reduction in the actual duration as compared to the expected duration of the instrument at the time of Purchase, which may adversely impact the portfolio yield. Such prepayments can usually be reinvested only at the lower yields then prevailing in the market. Therefore, during periods of declining interest rates, these Securities are less likely than other fixed income obligations to appreciate in value and less effective at locking in a particular yield. These instruments also carry risk associated with the collection agent who is responsible for collection of receivables and depositing them.

• The underlying assets in the case of investments in securitised debt could be mortgages

(‘mortgage backed securities’) or other assets such as credit card receivables, automobile / vehicle / personal / commercial / corporate loans and any other receivables / loans / debt (‘asset backed securities’). Asset backed securities present certain credit risks that are not presented by mortgage backed securities because asset-backed securities generally do not have the benefit of a security interest over the collateral that is comparable to mortgage assets. There is the possibility that, in some cases, recoveries on repossessed collateral may not be available to support payments on these securities.

• The risks associated with the underlying assets can be described as follows: Credit card

receivables are unsecured. Automobile / vehicle loan receivables are usually secured by the underlying automobile / vehicle and sometimes by a guarantor. Mortgages are secured by the underlying property which may depreciate in value. Personal loans are usually unsecured. Corporate loans could be unsecured or secured by a charge on fixed assets / receivables of the company or a letter of comfort from the parent company or a guarantee from a bank / financial institution. Underlying assets which are secured by a physical asset / guarantor are perceived to be less risky than those which are unsecured. Therefore, the risk and the yield in descending order of magnitude would be credit card receivables, personal loans, vehicle /automobile loans, mortgages and corporate loans assuming the same rating.

(f) Risks Associated with Investing in Bonds

14

i) General Provisions

• Debt Securities are subject to the risk of an issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payments on the obligation (credit risk) and may also be subject to price volatility due to such factors as interest rate sensitivity, market perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity (market risk). The Fund Manager will consider both credit risk and market risk in making investment decisions for the Scheme.

• The timing of transactions in debt obligations, which will often depend on the timing of the

Purchases and Redemptions in the Scheme, may result in capital appreciation or depreciation because the value of debt obligations generally varies inversely with the prevailing interest rates.

ii) Interest Rate Risk / Price Risk

• The value of the Securities of the Scheme invested in fixed income securities will change in response to fluctuations in interest rates. When interest rates decline, the value of fixed income securities generally can be expected to rise and vice versa.

• In the case of Floating Rate Instruments, an additional risk could be due to the change in the

spreads of Floating Rate Instruments. If the spreads on Floating Rate Instruments rise, then there could be a price loss on these instruments. Secondly in the case of fixed rate instruments that have been swapped for floating rates, any adverse movement in the fixed rate yields vis-à-vis swap rates could result in losses.

iii) Prepayment Risk

The borrower may prepay the receivables prior to their respective due dates. This may result in a change in the yield and tenor for the Scheme.

iv) Zero Coupon and Deferred Interest Bonds

The Scheme may invest in zero coupon bonds and deferred interest bonds, which are debt obligations issued at a significant discount from their face value. Zero coupon bonds do not provide periodic interest payments and deferred interest bonds generally provide for a period of delay before the regular payment of interest begins. Such investments experience greater volatility in market value due to changes in interest rates and the Scheme may accrue income on such obligations even though it receives no cash.

v) Risks of Investing in Unrated Debt Securities

• Unrated debt Securities are considered predominantly speculative and may have poor

prospects for reaching investment grade standing. Unrated debt Securities of comparable credit quality (commonly known as “junk bonds”) are subject to the increased risk of an issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest obligations and further, are usually unsecured and are often subordinated to the rights of other creditors of the issuers of such Securities. These Securities, also referred to as ‘high yield securities’, may be subject to greater price volatility due to such factors as specific corporate developments, interest rate sensitivity, negative perceptions or publicity (whether or not based on fundamental analysis) of the junk bond markets generally and less secondary market liquidity.

• The secondary market for such Securities is typically not very liquid, and is more volatile

than, the secondary market for rated Securities.

15

(g) Risks Associated with Credit Rating Agencies

Credit ratings issued by recognised credit rating agencies are designed to evaluate the safety of principal and interest payments of rated Securities. In addition, credit rating agencies may or may not make timely changes in a rating to reflect changes in the economy or in the conditions of the issuer that affect the market value and liquidity of the Security. Credit ratings are used only as a preliminary indicator of investment quality. Investments in unrated debt obligations will be more dependent on the Fund Manager’s credit analysis than would be the case with investments in investment grade debt obligations.

(h) Risks Associated with Short Selling and Securities Lending i) Risk associated with short selling

• Short selling is the sale of shares that the seller does not own at the time of trading. Instead,

he could borrow it from someone who already owns it. Later, the short seller buys back the stock he shorted and returns the stock to close out the loan. If the price of the stock has fallen, he can buy the stock back for less than he received for selling it and profits from it (i.e., the difference between a higher short sale price and the lower purchase price).

• However, short positions carry the risk of losing money and these losses may be unlimited

theoretically, if the price of the stock increases without limit and hence may result in major losses in the Scheme. In addition, short selling also carries a risk that the seller is unable to borrow the Securities. In such cases, short seller may be required to purchase the Securities sold short to cover the short position even if the price of the Security is higher at the time of the short sale. If a stock starts to rise and a large number of short sellers try to cover their positions at the same time, it can briskly escalate the price even further. This phenomenon is known as a ‘short squeeze’. This might result in major losses to the Scheme.

ii) Risk associated with Securities lending

• 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. In case the Scheme undertakes Securities lending under the Regulations, it may, at times be exposed to counter party risk and such other risks associated with Securities lending.

• The risks in lending portfolio Securities, as with other extensions of credit, consists of the

failure of another party, in this case the approved intermediary, to comply with the terms of the agreement entered into between the lender of the Securities i.e. the Scheme and the approved intermediary and can therefore result in the possible loss of rights in 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 deposited with the approved intermediary. The Mutual Fund may not be able to sell such lent Securities and this can lead to temporary illiquidity within the Scheme.

(i) Risks Associated with Calculation of NAV

• From time to time, materiality thresholds may apply to calculation of NAV in accordance with the Regulations. Unitholders should note that the AMC may not pay the Unitholders or

16

the Scheme any difference in circumstances where any such materiality thresholds provided under the Regulations are not exceeded.

(j) Risks Associated with Material Interests of Associates of the Sponsor, AMC & Trustee

Company

• The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., the ultimate parent of the Sponsor, is a worldwide, full-service investment banking, broker-dealer, asset management and financial services organization, and a major participant in global financial markets. As a result, The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., the asset management division of Goldman Sachs (other than the AMC and Trustee Company), and the associates of the Sponsor, AMC and Trustee Company, and their affiliates (other than the AMC and Trustee Company), directors, partners, trustees, managers, members, officers and employees (collectively referred to, for purposes of this “Risks Associated with Material Interests of Associates of the Sponsor, AMC and Trustee Company” section, “Goldman Sachs”), are engaged in various businesses and have diverse interests. The Scheme will not be entitled to compensation related to such businesses. These activities and interests may include investment, research, potential multiple advisory, investment management, financing, proprietary trading, prime broking, lending, agency and principal, transactional, investment banking, market making, financial and other interests in Securities and instruments that may be directly or indirectly purchased or sold by the Scheme and the service providers acting on behalf of the Scheme. In addition, Goldman Sachs, including the AMC (subject to and in accordance with applicable Laws), may make charitable contributions to institutions, including those that have relationships with clients or personnel of clients. Personnel of Goldman Sachs may also make political contributions.

The following are a few examples:

o The AMC will give advice to and make investment decisions for the Scheme as it believes

are in the fiduciary interests of the Scheme. Advice given to the Scheme by the AMC or investment decisions made for the Scheme by the AMC may differ from advice given by Goldman Sachs to, or investment decisions made by Goldman Sachs for, Goldman Sachs’ proprietary accounts or funds or accounts managed or advised by Goldman Sachs (such funds and accounts, “GS Client Accounts”). Owing to factors, including the existence of information barriers in place between the AMC and Goldman Sachs as required under applicable Laws, the results of the investment activities of the Scheme may differ significantly from the results achieved by Goldman Sachs for its proprietary accounts and/or GS Client Accounts. In addition, the possibility that actions taken by Goldman Sachs with respect to its proprietary accounts and/or GS Client Accounts may adversely impact the Scheme or that actions taken by the AMC acting on behalf of the Scheme may benefit Goldman Sachs and/or GS Client Accounts cannot be ruled out. For example, a Scheme may buy a Security and Goldman Sachs or other GS Client Accounts may establish a short position in that same Security. The subsequent short sale may result in impairment of the price of the Security which the Scheme holds. Conversely, the Scheme may establish a short position in a Security and Goldman Sachs or other GS Client Accounts may buy that same Security. The subsequent purchase may result in an increase of the price of the underlying position in the short sale exposure of the Scheme and such increase in price would be to the Scheme’s detriment. Further, if a GS Client Account holds debt Securities of an issuer and a Scheme holds equity Securities of the same issuer, then if the issuer experiences financial or operational challenges, the GS Client Account which holds the debt Securities may seek a liquidation of the issuer, whereas the Scheme which holds the equity Securities may prefer a reorganization of the issuer. In addition, Goldman Sachs proprietary accounts or GS Client Accounts may have investment objectives that are similar to those of the Scheme. This may create potential competition among the Scheme and Goldman Sachs

17

proprietary accounts or GS Client Accounts, particularly where there is limited availability or liquidity for those investments. For example, transactions in investments by such accounts may have the effect of diluting or otherwise negatively affecting the values, prices or investment strategies associated with Securities held by the Scheme (or vice-versa), particularly, but not limited to, in small capitalization, emerging market or less liquid strategies.

o While the AMC will make decisions for the Scheme pursuant to its obligations to manage

the Scheme in accordance with the SEBI Regulations and as set out in the Scheme Information Document, owing to the various business activities of Goldman Sachs is engaged in, the fees, compensation and other benefits, if any, accruing to Goldman Sachs (including benefits relating to business relationships of Goldman Sachs) from such decisions may be greater as a result of certain portfolios, investments, service providers or other decisions made by the AMC than they would have been had other decisions been made which also might have been appropriate for the Scheme.

o Goldman Sachs will be under no obligation to provide to the Scheme, or cause the AMC to

effect transactions on behalf of the Scheme in accordance with any market or other information, analysis, technical models or research in its possession.

o To the extent and in the manner permitted by applicable Laws, the Scheme may enter into

transactions in which Goldman Sachs acts as the principal, or on a proprietary basis for its customers, serves as the counterparty. The Scheme may also enter into cross transactions in which Goldman Sachs acts on behalf of the Scheme and for the other party to the transaction. For example, Goldman Sachs may represent both the Scheme and another GS Client Account on the other side of the transaction in connection with the purchase of a Security by a Scheme, and Goldman Sachs may receive compensation or other payments from either or both parties.

o Regulatory restrictions (including relating to the aggregation of positions among different

funds and accounts) and internal policies of Goldman Sachs may restrict investment activities of the Scheme. Information held by Goldman Sachs could have the effect of restricting investment activities of the Scheme. As a result, transactions of Goldman Sachs’ proprietary accounts or GS Client Accounts may be restricted but not for the Scheme, or vice versa. From time to time, Goldman Sachs may come into possession of unpublished price sensitive information or other information that could limit the ability of the Scheme to buy and sell Securities. The investment flexibility of the Scheme may be constrained as a consequence. The AMC is not permitted to obtain or use unpublished price sensitive information in effecting purchases and sales in public Securities transactions for the Scheme. Further, under applicable Laws, there may be limits on the aggregate amount of investments by affiliated investors that may not be exceeded without the grant of a license or other regulatory or corporate consent or, if exceeded, may cause Goldman Sachs, the Scheme or other GS Client Accounts to suffer disadvantages or business restrictions. If certain aggregate ownership thresholds are reached or certain transactions undertaken, the ability of the AMC on behalf of the Scheme to purchase or dispose of investments, or exercise rights or undertake business transactions, may be restricted by regulation or otherwise impaired.

o The AMC has developed policies and procedures that provide that it will allocate

investment opportunities and make purchase and sale decisions among the Scheme and other schemes managed by the AMC in a manner that it considers, in its sole discretion and consistent with its fiduciary obligation to each of the schemes managed by the AMC, to be reasonable and based upon the AMC’s good faith assessment of the best use of such limited opportunities relative to the objectives, limitations and requirements of each scheme managed by it and applying the factors set out in the respective scheme information

18

documents. The AMC seeks to treat all schemes managed by it in light of all factors relevant to managing each scheme, and in some cases it is possible that the application of the scheme specific factors may result in allocations in which certain schemes may receive an allocation when the Scheme does not.

B. REQUIREMENT OF MINIMUM INVESTORS IN THE SCHEME

The Scheme shall have a minimum of 20 investors and no single investor shall account for more than 25% of the corpus of the Scheme. However, if such limit is breached during the NFO Period 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 Period of the Scheme, whichever is earlier, the Scheme complies with these two conditions. In case the Scheme does not have a minimum of 20 investors in the stipulated period, the provisions of Regulation 39(2)(c) of the SEBI Regulations would become applicable automatically without any reference from SEBI and accordingly the Scheme shall be wound up and the Units would be Redeemed at Applicable NAV. The two conditions mentioned above shall also be complied with 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 NAV 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.

For Goldman Sachs Asset Management (India) Private Limited

(Investment Manager to Goldman Sachs Mutual Fund) Sd/

Place: Mumbai Name: Pranita Gramopadhye Date : September 4, 2008 Designation: Compliance Officer II. INFORMATION ABOUT THE SCHEME A. TYPE OF THE SCHEME – An open-ended equity scheme. B. WHAT IS THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE OF THE SCHEME?

The investment objective of the Scheme is to seek to generate long-term capital growth from an actively managed portfolio primarily of equity and Equity Related Securities. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of the Scheme will be realised.

C. HOW WILL THE SCHEME ALLOCATE ITS ASSETS?

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

28

Indicative allocations (% of net

assets) Risk Profile

Instruments Maximum Minimum High / Medium /

Low Equities & Equity Related Securities

Up to 100% 65% High

Debt Securities & Money market instruments (including cash & cash equivalents)

Up to 35% 0% Low to medium

If the Scheme decides to invest in securitised debt, it is the intention of the Fund Manager that

such investments will not normally exceed 30% of the net assets of the Scheme and if the Scheme decides to invest in ADRs / GDRs issued by Indian / foreign companies and in foreign Securities in accordance with SEBI Regulations, it is the intention of the Fund Manager that such investments will not normally exceed 30% of the net assets of the Scheme. If the Scheme decides to invest in Derivatives it is the intention of the Fund Manager that such investments will not normally exceed 50% of the net assets of the Scheme. Further, the Fund Manager may engage in short selling of Securities in accordance with the Regulations.

These limits will be reviewed by the AMC from time to time based on views on the equity markets and asset liability management needs. However, at all times the portfolio of the Scheme will adhere to the overall investment objective of the Scheme. Investors may note that investments, which provide higher returns, typically display higher volatility. Accordingly, the investment portfolio of the Scheme is expected to reflect moderate to high volatility in its equity and Equity Related Securities investments and low to moderate volatility in its debt and money market investments.

Subject to the Regulations as applicable from time to time, the Scheme may, if the Trustees permit participate in Securities lending. Securities lending means the lending of Securities to another person or entity for a fixed period of time at a negotiated compensation in order to enhance returns of the portfolio. The Securities lent would have to be returned by the borrower on the expiry of the stipulated period. The AMC will adhere to strict limits should it engage in Securities lending. Collateral would always be obtained by the approved intermediary from such borrower. Collateral value would always be more than the value of the Securities lent. Collateral can be in form of cash, bank guarantee, and government Securities, as may be agreed upon with the approved intermediary. The Scheme, under normal circumstances, shall not have exposure of more than 50% of its net assets in Securities lending and shall not lend more than 50% of its net assets to any one intermediary to whom Securities will be lent. For detailed understanding on Securities lending by the Scheme, investors are requested to refer to the SAI. Change in Asset Allocation Subject to the Regulations, the asset allocation pattern indicated above for the Scheme 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 stated above are only indicative and not absolute and that they 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 Unitholders, and meet the objective of the Scheme. Such changes in the asset allocation will be for short term and defensive considerations. Provided further and subject to the above, any change in the asset allocation affecting the

29

investment profile of the Scheme shall be effected only in accordance with the provisions of sub regulation (15A) of Regulation 18 of the Regulations, as detailed in Section II (F) ‘Fundamental Attributes’ of this Scheme Information Document.

D. WHERE WILL THE SCHEME INVEST?

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. Subject to the Regulations and other prevailing Laws as applicable, the corpus of the Scheme can be invested in any (but not exclusively) of the following Securities:

• Equity and Equity Related Securities. • Debt Securities and money market instruments. • Derivatives as may be permitted by SEBI / RBI. • Foreign Securities as may be permitted by SEBI / RBI. • Any other instruments as may be permitted by RBI / SEBI / such other regulatory authorities

under prevailing Laws from time to time. The Securities mentioned above could be listed, unlisted, privately placed, secured, unsecured, rated or unrated and of any maturity. The Securities may be acquired through initial public offerings, secondary market operations, and private placement, rights offers or negotiated transactions. Policy on Offshore Investments by the Scheme As per SEBI Circular dated September 26, 2007 and April 8, 2008, mutual funds can invest in ADRs/GDRs/foreign Securities within the overall limit of US$7 billion and subject to a maximum of US $300 million per mutual fund.

As per SEBI Circular dated September 26, 2007, mutual funds can make investments in i. ADRs/GDRs issued by Indian or foreign companies ii. Equity of overseas companies listed on recognized stock exchanges overseas iii. Initial and follow on public offerings for listing at recognised stock exchange overseas. iv. Foreign debt securities in the countries with fully convertible currencies, short term as well as long term debt instruments with rating not below investment grade by a accredited/ registered credit rating agencies. v. Money market instruments rated not below investment grade vi. Repos in the form of investment, where the counterparty is rated not below the investment grade; repos should not however, involve any borrowing of funds by mutual funds. vii. Government securities where the countries are rated not below investment grade viii. Derivatives traded on recognised stock exchanges overseas only for hedging and portfolio balancing with underlying as securities. ix. Short term deposits with banks overseas where the issuer is rated not below investment grade. x. Units/securities issued by overseas mutual funds or unit trusts registered with

overseas regulators and investing in (a) aforesaid securities, (b) Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) listed in recognised stock exchanges overseas or (c) unlisted overseas securities (not exceeding 10% of their net assets).

30

The overall ceiling for investment in overseas ETFs that invest in securities is US$1 billion subject to maximum of US $ 50 million per mutual fund. The overseas investments may be listed on recognised stock exchanges including but not limited to the New York Stock Exchange, the London Stock Exchange, the Singapore Stock Exchange, the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, etc. It is the AMC's belief that the above instruments offer new investment and portfolio diversification opportunities into multi-market and multi-currency products. However, such investments also entail additional risks. Such investment opportunities may be pursued by the AMC provided they are considered appropriate in terms of the overall investment objectives of the Scheme. The Trustees may then, if necessary, seek applicable permission from SEBI to invest abroad in accordance with the investment objectives of the Scheme and in accordance with any guidelines issued by SEBI from time to time. The Fund Manager would look to invest in such instruments in order to diversify the portfolio in terms of the variety of instruments held and enhance returns by taking advantage of market movements in global markets, which may or may not be in sync with the Indian markets. The Fund Manager will look to identify and capture profitable opportunities as and when they arise. Investments in foreign Securities will be made subject to any / all approvals and conditions thereof as may be stipulated by SEBI / RBI being fulfilled and provided such investments do not result in expenses to the Scheme in excess of the ceiling, if any, on expenses prescribed by SEBI for offshore investments, and if no such ceiling is prescribed by SEBI, the expenses to the Scheme shall be limited to the level which, in the opinion of the Trustees, is reasonable and consistent with costs and expenses attendant to international investing. The Trustees and the Board of the AMC may, where necessary, appoint other intermediaries of repute as advisors, sub-custodians, etc. for managing and administering such investments. The appointment of such intermediaries shall be in accordance with the applicable requirements of SEBI and within the permissible ceilings of expenses. The fees and expenses would illustratively include, besides the investment management fees, custody fees and costs, fees of appointed advisors and sub-managers, transaction costs and overseas regulatory costs. Position of Debt Markets in India

Subject to the Regulations and other prevailing Laws as applicable, the Scheme may invest in debt Securities including but not limited to government Securities, corporate debentures, bonds, money market instruments, pass-through certificates, fixed income securities, securitised debt, zero coupon bonds, deferred interest bonds and such other similar Securities. The major players in the Indian debt markets today are banks, financial institutions, insurance companies and mutual funds. The instruments in the market can be broadly categorised as those issued by corporates, banks, financial institutions and those issued by State / Central Governments. Liquidity in the corporate debt market has been improving due to the entry of more market participants and due to various measures taken by the regulators in this direction over a period of time. SEBI's directive of a compulsory rating by a rating agency for any public issuance over 18 months, dematerialisation, entry of private insurance companies, listing of debt Securities and growth of fixed income mutual funds have enhanced liquidity in the corporate debt market. The setting up of clearing corporations, RTGS and ECS for government Securities have considerably enhanced the depth and width of the Indian debt markets and bringing it at par with developed markets.

Trading in Derivatives The Scheme may invest in Derivatives including stock index futures, options on stocks and stock indices, interest rate swaps, forward rate agreements or such other Derivatives as may be introduced from time to time as permitted under the Regulations and applicable Laws. .

32

Exposure to Derivatives The Scheme shall have Derivative exposure in accordance with the guidelines issued under the Regulations from time to time. The Scheme shall under normal circumstances not have exposure of more than 50% of its net assets in Derivatives. These limits will be reviewed by the AMC, from time to time In accordance with SEBI circulars dated September 14, 2005, January 20, 2006 and September 22, 2006, the following conditions shall apply to the Scheme's participation in the Derivatives market. Please note that the investment restrictions applicable to the Scheme's participation in the Derivatives market will be as prescribed or varied by SEBI or by the Trustees (subject to SEBI requirements) from time to time. The position limits for the Scheme are as under: Position limit for Mutual Fund in index options contracts

• The Mutual Fund position limit in all index options contracts on a particular underlying index shall be Rs. 500 crore or 15% of the total open interest of the market in index options, whichever is higher, per stock exchange.

• This limit would be applicable on open positions in all options contracts on a particular underlying index. Position limit for Mutual Fund in index futures contracts:

• The Mutual Fund position limit in all index futures contracts on a particular underlying index shall be Rs. 500 crore or 15% of the total open interest of the market in index futures, whichever is higher, per stock exchange.

• This limit would be applicable on open positions in all futures contracts on a particular underlying index. Additional position limit in index Derivatives for hedging: In addition to the position limits in index options and index futures contracts above, the Mutual Fund may take exposure in equity index Derivatives subject to the following limits:

• Short positions in index Derivatives (short futures, short calls and long puts) shall not exceed (in notional value) the Mutual Fund's holding of stocks.

• Long positions in index Derivatives (long futures, long calls and short puts) shall not exceed (in notional value) the Mutual Fund's holding of cash, government Securities, treasury bills and similar instruments. Position limit for Mutual Fund for stock based Derivative contracts The Mutual Fund position limit in a Derivative contract on a particular underlying stock, i.e. stock option contracts and stock futures contracts is defined in the following manner:

• For stocks having applicable market-wise position limit (MWPL) of Rs. 500 crores or more,

the combined futures and options position limit shall be 20% of applicable MWPL or Rs. 300 crores, whichever is lower and within which stock futures position cannot exceed 10% of applicable MWPL or Rs. 150 crores, whichever is lower.

• For stocks having applicable market-wise position limit (MWPL) less than Rs. 500 crores, the

combined futures and options position limit would be 20% of applicable MWPL and futures position cannot exceed 20% of applicable MWPL or Rs. 50 crore which ever is lower. Position limit for each scheme of a Mutual Fund

33

The scheme-wise position limit / disclosure requirements shall be:

• For stock option and stock futures contracts, the gross open position across all Derivative contracts on a particular underlying stock of a scheme of a mutual fund shall not exceed the higher of: 1% of the free float market capitalisation (in terms of number of shares) or 5% of the open interest in the Derivative contracts on a particular underlying stock (in terms of number of contracts).

• This position limit shall be applicable on the combined position in all Derivative contracts on

an underlying stock at a stock exchange. For index based contracts, the Mutual Fund shall disclose the total open interest held by its scheme or all schemes put together in a particular underlying index, if such open interest equals to or exceeds 15% of the open interest of all Derivative contracts on that underlying index Interest Rate Swaps (IRS) and Forward Rate Agreements (FRAs) Benefits Bond markets in India are not very liquid. Investors run the risk of illiquidity in such markets. Investing for short-term periods for liquidity purposes has its own risks. Investors can benefit if the Scheme remains in call market for the liquidity and at the same time takes advantage of the fixed rate by entering into a swap. It adds certainty to the returns without sacrificing liquidity. IRS An IRS is an agreement between two parties (counter parties) to exchange, on particular dates in the future, one series of cash flows (fixed interest) for another series of cashflows (variable or floating interest) in the same currency and on the same principal for an agreed period of time. The exchange of cashflows need not occur on the same date. As Floating Rate Instruments tend to be relatively less liquid, swapping a fixed rate instrument into floating returns can help in improving the liquidity of the Scheme. FRA A FRA is an agreement between two counter parties to pay or to receive the difference between an agreed fixed rate (the FRA rate) and the interest rate prevailing on a stipulated future date, based on a notional amount, for an agreed period. In short, in a FRA, interest rate is fixed now for a future period. The special feature of FRAs is that the only payment is the difference between the FRA rate and the reference rate and hence are single settlement contracts. As in the case of IRS, notional amounts are not exchanged. Basic Structure of a Swap Assume that the Scheme has a Rs. 20 crore floating rate investment linked to MIBOR (Mumbai Inter Bank Offered Rate). Hence, the Scheme is currently running an interest rate risk and stands to lose if the interest rate moves down. To hedge this interest rate risk, the Scheme can enter into a 6 month MIBOR swap. Through this swap, the Scheme will receive a fixed predetermined rate (assume 12% p.a.) and pays the "benchmark rate" (MIBOR), which is fixed by the National Stock Exchange (NSE) or any other agency such as Reuters. This swap would effectively lock-in the rate of 12% for the next 6 months, eliminating the daily interest rate risk. This is usually routed through an intermediary who runs a book and matches deals between various counterparties. The steps will be as follows:

34

• Assuming the swap is for Rs.20 crore from June 1, 2008 to December 1, 2008. The Scheme is a fixed rate receiver at 12% and the counterparty is a floating rate receiver at the overnight rate on a compounded basis (say NSE MIBOR).

• On June 1, 2008 the Scheme and the counterparty will exchange only a contract of having entered into this swap. This documentation would be as per the ISDA.

• On a daily basis, the benchmark rate fixed by NSE will be tracked. • On December 1, 2008 the following will be calculated :

o The Scheme is entitled to receive interest on Rs. 20 crore at 12% for 184 days i.e. Rs. 1.21 crore, (this amount is known at the time the swap was concluded) and will pay the compounded benchmark rate.

o The counterparty is entitled to receive the daily compounded call rate for 184 days and pay 12% fixed.

• On December 1, 2008, if the total interest on the daily overnight compounded benchmark rate is higher than Rs. 1.21 crore, the Scheme will pay the difference to the counter party. If the daily compounded benchmark rate is lower, then the counterparty will pay the Scheme the difference.

• Effectively the Scheme earns interest at the rate of 12% p.a. for 6 months without lending money for 6 months fixed, while the counterparty pays interest @ 12% p.a. for 6 months on Rs. 20 crore, without borrowing for 6 months fixed. Swaps have their own drawbacks including credit risk vis-à-vis the counter party, settlement risk, etc. However, these risks are substantially reduced as the amount involved is interest streams and not principal. 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 fulfill the terms of the contract. Benefits • Investment in stock index futures can give exposure to the index without directly

buying the individual stocks. Appreciation in index stocks can be effectively captured through investment in stock index futures.

• The Scheme can sell futures to hedge against market movements effectively without actually selling the stocks it holds.

The stock index futures are instruments designed to give exposure to the equity market indices. 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. Illustration Spot Index: 1070 1 month nifty future price on day 1: 1075. Scheme buys 100 lots. Each lot has a nominal value equivalent to 200 units of the underlying index Situation 1 Let us say that on the date of settlement, the future price = closing spot price = 1085 Profits for the Scheme = (1085-1075)* 100 lots * 200 = Rs 200,000

35

Situation 2 Let us say that on the date of settlement, the future price = Closing spot price = 1070 Loss for the Scheme = (1070-1075)* 100 lots * 200 = (Rs 100,000) The net impact for the Scheme will be in terms of the difference between the closing price of the index and cost price (ignoring margins for the sake of simplicity). Thus, it is clear from the example that the profit or loss for the Scheme will be the difference of the closing price (which can be higher or lower than the purchase price) and the purchase price. The risks associated with index futures are similar to the one with equity investments. Additional risks could be on account of illiquidity and hence mispricing of the future at the time of purchase. Buying Options An option is a contract which provides the buyer of the option (also called the holder) the right, without the obligation, to buy or sell a specified asset at an agreed price on or up to a particular date. For acquiring this right the buyer has to pay a premium to the seller. The seller on the other hand has the obligation to buy or sell that specified asset at the agreed price. The premium is determined considering number of factors such as the underlying asset's market price, the number of days to expiration, strike price of the option, the volatility of the underlying asset and the risk less rate of return. The strike price, the expiration date and the market lots are specified by the exchanges. Benefits of buying a call option Buying a call option on a stock or index gives the owner the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying stock / index at the designated strike price. Here the downside risks are limited to the premium paid to purchase the option. Illustration If the Scheme buys a 1 month call option on Company ‘X’ at a strike of Rs. 190, the current market price being say Rs.191. The Scheme will have to pay a premium of say Rs. 15 to buy this call. If the stock price goes below Rs. 190 during the tenure of the call, the Scheme avoids the loss it would have incurred had it straightaway bought the stock instead of the call option. The Scheme gives up the premium of Rs. 15 that has to be paid in order to protect the Scheme from this probable downside. If the stock goes above Rs. 190, it can exercise its right and own Company ‘X’ at a cost price of Rs. 190, thereby participating in the upside of the stock. Benefits of 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. Illustration If the Scheme owns Company ‘X’ and also buys a three-month put option on Company ‘X’ at a strike of Rs. 190, the current market price being say Rs.191. The Scheme will have to pay a premium of say Rs. 12 to buy this put. If the stock price goes below Rs. 190 during the tenure of the put, the Scheme can still exercise the put and sell the stock at Rs. 190, avoiding therefore any downside on the stock below Rs. 190. The Scheme gives up the fixed premium of Rs. 12 that has to be paid in order to protect the Scheme from this probable downside. If the stock goes above Rs. 190, say to Rs. 220, 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. 220.

36

Writing Options Benefits of writing an option with underlying stock holding (Covered call writing) Covered call writing is a strategy where a writer (say the Scheme) will hold a particular stock, and sell in the market a call option on the stock. Here the buyer of the call option now has the right to buy this stock from the writer (the Scheme) at a particular price which is fixed by the contract (the strike price). The writer receives a premium for selling a call, but if the call option is exercised, he has to sell the underlying stock at the strike price. This is advantageous if the strike price is the level at which the writer wants to exit his holding / book profits. The writer effectively gains a fixed premium in exchange for the probable opportunity loss that comes from giving up any upside if the stock goes up beyond the strike price. Illustration Let us take for example Company ‘Y’, where the Scheme holds stock, the current market price being Rs. 3600. The Fund Manager holds the view that the stock should be sold when it reaches Rs. 3700. Currently the 1 month 3700 calls can be sold at say Rs.150. Selling this call gives the call owner the right to buy from the Scheme, Company ‘Y’ at Rs. 3700. Now the Scheme by buying / holding the stock and selling the call is effectively agreeing to sell Company ‘Y’ at Rs. 3700 when it crosses this price. So the Scheme is giving up any possible upside beyond Rs. 3700. However, the returns for the Scheme are higher than what it would have got if it just held the stock and decided to sell it at Rs. 3700. This is because the Scheme by writing the covered call gets an additional Rs. 150 per share of Company ‘Y’. In case the price is below Rs. 3700 during the tenure of the call, then it will not be exercised and the Scheme will continue to hold the shares. Even in this case the returns are higher than if the Scheme had just held the stock waiting to sell it at Rs. 3700. Benefits of writing put options with adequate cash holding Writing put options with adequate cash holdings is a strategy where the writer (say, the Scheme) will have an amount of cash and will sell put options on a stock. This will give the buyer of this put option the right to sell stock to the writer (the Scheme) at a pre-designated price (the strike price). This strategy gives the put writer a premium, but if the put is exercised, he has to buy the underlying stock at the designated strike price. In this case the writer will have to accept any downside if the stock goes below the exercise price. The writer effectively gains a fixed premium in exchange for giving up the opportunity to buy the stock at levels below the strike price. This is advantageous if the strike price is the level at which the writer wants to buy the stock. Illustration Let us take for example, that the Scheme wants to buy Company ‘Y’at Rs. 3500, the current price being Rs. 3600. Currently the three-month puts can be sold at say Rs. 100. Writing this put gives the put owner the right to sell to the Scheme, Company ‘Y’ at Rs. 3500. Now the Scheme by holding cash and selling the put is agreeing to buy Company ‘Y’ at Rs. 3500 when it goes below this price. The Scheme will take on itself any downside if the price goes below Rs. 3500. But the returns for the Scheme are higher than what it would have got if it just waited till the price reached this level and bought the stock at Rs. 3500, as per its original view. This is because the Scheme by writing the put gets an additional Rs. 100 per share of Company ‘Y’. In case the price stays above Rs. 3500 during the tenure of the put, then it will not be exercised and the Scheme will continue to hold cash. Even in this case the returns are higher than if the Scheme had just held cash waiting to buy Company ‘Y’ at Rs. 3500.

The above information provides a basic idea as to the nature of the Derivatives proposed to be used by the Scheme and the benefits and risks attached therewith. Please note that the examples are based on assumptions and have been given for illustration purposes only.

E. WHAT ARE THE INVESTMENT STRATEGIES?

Investment Approach and Risk Control The investment objective of the Scheme is to seek to generate long-term capital growth from an actively managed portfolio primarily of equity and Equity Related Securities. There can be no assurance that the investment objectives of the Scheme will be realised. Since investing requires disciplined risk management, the AMC would incorporate safeguards seeking to control risks in the portfolio construction process. Risk is also expected to be reduced through diversification of the portfolio, which the AMC aims to achieve by spreading the investments over a range of industries, sectors and market capitalisations. The Scheme may also invest in unlisted and / or privately placed Securities and / or unrated debt Securities, subject to the limits indicated under Section II (I) "Investment Restrictions for the Scheme" in this Scheme Information Document. If investment is made in unrated debt Securities, the approval of the Board of the AMC and the Trustees or the investment management committee (within the broad parameters approved by the Board of the AMC and the Trustees) shall be obtained, as per the Regulations. As per the asset allocation pattern indicated above, the Scheme may invest a part of the portfolio in various debt Securities issued by corporates and/or State and Central Government. Government securities may include Securities which are supported by the ability to borrow from the treasury or supported only by the sovereign guarantee or of the State Government or supported by GOI or any other State Government in some other way. Strategy for investments in Derivatives The Fund Manager may use Derivatives like IRSs, FRAs or such other Derivatives as may be introduced from time to time for the purpose of hedging and portfolio balancing and to seek to achieve the investment objectives of the Scheme, as may be permitted under the Regulations. Investment in such instruments will be made in accordance with the investment objective and the strategy of the Scheme to protect the value of the portfolio and to enhance returns. Strategy for investments in overseas markets The Fund Manager may invest in overseas markets in accordance with the investment objective of the Scheme, so as to protect the value of the portfolio and to enhance returns. Investment in other Schemes The Scheme may invest in other scheme(s) managed by the AMC or in the schemes of any other mutual fund, provided it is in conformity with the investment objectives of the Scheme and in terms of the prevailing Regulations. As per the Regulations, the AMC will not charge investment management fees for such –investments.

Investments by the AMC in the Scheme The AMC may invest in the Scheme at any time during the NFO Period / Ongoing Offer Period, subject to the Regulations and to the extent permitted by its Board from time to time. As per the existing Regulations, the AMC will not charge investment management and advisory fee on the investment made by it in the Scheme.

38

Portfolio Turnover Portfolio turnover is defined as the aggregate value of investment and disinvestment in equity / Equity Related Securities (other than those caused by the Purchases and Redemptions by Unitholders) as a percentage of the average corpus of the Scheme during a specified period of time. This would exclude investments / disinvestments in money market instruments. The Fund Manager may normally buy stocks which he believes will deliver superior earnings growth over the long term and hence the portfolio turnover of the Scheme is not expected to be very high. 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. The Fund Manager depending on their view and subject to there being an opportunity, may trade in Securities, which may result in an increase in the portfolio turnover. There may be an increase in transaction costs such as the brokerage paid, if trading is done frequently. However, the cost would be negligible as compared to the total expenses of the Scheme. Frequent trading may increase the profits which will offset the increase in costs. Procedure followed for Investment Decisions The Fund Manager of the Scheme is responsible for making buy / sell decisions for the Scheme's portfolio and will seek to develop a well diversified portfolio that minimizes liquidity and credit risk. The investment decisions are made on an ongoing basis keeping in view the market conditions and other relevant aspects. The Board of the AMC has constituted an Investment Management Committee, currently comprising of the CEO, Fund Manager and Head of Compliance, that meets at periodic intervals. The investment management committee’s role is to formulate broad investment strategies for the Scheme, including investments in unrated debt instruments, reviewing performance of the Schemes and general market outlook. The approval of unrated debt instruments is based on detailed parameters laid down by the Board of the AMC and the Trustees. The details of such investments are communicated by the AMC to the Trustees in their periodical reports along with a disclosure regarding how the parameters have been complied with. Such reporting shall be in the manner prescribed by SEBI from time to time. The Investment Management Committee also reviews the performance of the Scheme and general market outlook and formulates the broad investment strategy at their meetings. The Fund Manager, is responsible for facilitating investment debate and a robust investment culture. After conducting a thorough fundamental and valuation analysis, the research analyst(s) will recommend the most attractive investment ideas for inclusion in the portfolio. The investment team comprising of the Fund Manager and the research analyst(s) would hold on-going meetings, as well as additional ad-hoc meetings as needed, to explore the investment thesis of individual ideas and to challenge the range of assumptions used by the respective analysts. It is the responsibility of the AMC to seek to ensure that the investments are made as per the Regulatory guidelines, the investment objectives of the Scheme and in the interest of the Unitholders of the Scheme. The AMC will keep a record of all investment decisions in accordance with the guidelines issued by SEBI.

In terms of SEBI Circular No.MFD/CIR/16/400/02 dated March 26, 2002 the performance of the Scheme will be benchmarked against BSE 500 Index. The same has been chosen as the benchmark for the Scheme as the composition of the aforesaid index is such that it is most suited for comparing performance of the Scheme. The Fund Manager presents to the Board of the AMC and the Trustees periodically, the performance of the Schemes which will be reviewed by the Boards with reference to the appropriate benchmarks. However, the Schemes' performance is likely to differ from the performance of the benchmark because the Fund Manager endeavours to manage the Scheme actively and therefore constructs the portfolios differently to the benchmark. In terms of SEBI Circular No.MFD/CIR/01/ 071/02 dated March 26, 2002, the Board of the AMC and Trustees may review the benchmark selection from time to time, and make suitable changes as to use of the benchmark or select an additional or replacement benchmark, or related to composition of the benchmark, whenever it deems necessary after recording an adequate justification for carrying out such change. However, change of benchmark and/or selecting additional benchmarks would be done in compliance with the relevant guidelines of SEBI in this regard. The Fund Manager will bring to the notice of the Board of the AMC, specific factors if any, which are impacting the performance of the Scheme. The Board of the AMC on consideration of all relevant factors may, if necessary, give appropriate directions to the AMC. Similarly, the performance of the Scheme will be submitted to the Trustees. The Fund Manager / Chief Investment Officer will explain to the Trustees, the details on the Schemes' performance vis-à-vis the benchmark returns.

W.e.f [●] (date) or within [●] days of the date of closure of the NFO Period.

51

ons after the closure of the NFO Period.

Ongoing price for Subscription (Purchase)/Switch-in (from other schemes/plans of the mutual fund) by investors. This is the price you need to pay for Purchase/Switch-in. Example: If the Applicable NAV is Rs. 10, Entry Load is 2% then sales price will be: Rs. 10* (1+0.02) = Rs. 10.20

The Purchase Price of the Units is the price at which an investor can Purchase Units of the Scheme. It will be calculated as described below: Purchase Price = Applicable NAV x (1 + Entry Load). The NAV of the Units of the Scheme will be rounded to two decimal places. The Purchase Price will be calculated for up to two decimal places for the Scheme. For example, if the Applicable NAV of the Scheme is Rs.10/-, and it has a 2.00% Entry Load, the Purchase Price will be calculated as follows: Purchase Price = 10 x (1 + 2.00%) i.e. 10 x 1.02 = Rs. 10.20/- Amount invested = Rs. 10000 No. of units allotted = 10000/10.20 = 980.392 (rounded off)

Ongoing price for Redemption (sale) /Switch -Outs (to other schemes/plans of the Mutual Fund) by investors. This is the price you will receive for Redemptions/Switch -Outs. Example: If the applicable NAV is Rs. 10, Exit Load is 2% then Redemption Price will be: Rs. 10* (1-0.02) = Rs. 9.80

The Redemption Price of the Units is the price at which a Unitholder can Redeem Units of the Scheme. It will be calculated as described below: Redemption Price = Applicable NAV x (1 - Exit Load) Redemption Price will be calculated for up to two decimal places for the Scheme. For example, if the Applicable NAV of a Scheme is Rs.10/- and it has a 2% Exit Load, the Redemption Price will be calculated as follows: Redemption Price = Rs. 10 x (1 - 2.00%) i.e. Rs. 10 x 0.98 = Rs. 9.80/- The Securities Transaction Tax is levied under Chapter VII of Finance (No. 2) Act, 2004 at the rate of 0.25% (or such other applicable rate) on the Redemption Price will be reduced from the Redemption Price. To illustrate: If a Redemption of 1,000 Units is sought by the Unitolder at a Redemption Price of Rs.9.80/- (as calculated above), the Redemption amount is Rs. 9,800/-. This will be further reduced by Rs. 25/- (i.e. Rs. 9,800 x 0.25%, rounded of to the nearest rupee), making the net Redemption amount Rs. 9,775/-. If a Redemption of Rs. 10,000/- is sought by the Unitholder at a Redemption Price of Rs. 9.80/- (as calculated above), the effective Redemption amount will be grossed up to Rs. 10,025/- (i.e. 10,000 ÷ (1-0.25%)) and 1022.959 Units (10,025 ÷ 9.80) will be Redeemed. This is to ensure that the Unitholder receives the net amount of Rs. 10,000/- as desired. Investors / Unitholders should note that the AMC has the right to modify the existing Load structure in any manner or introduce an Entry Load or Exit Load or a combination of Entry Load and / or Exit Load and / or any other Load subject to a maximum as prescribed under the

52

Regulations and with prospective effect only. While determining the price of the Units, the Mutual Fund shall ensure that the Purchase Price is not lower than 93% of the NAV and the Redemption Price is not higher than 107% of the NAV and the difference between the Purchase Price and Redemption Price is not exceeding 7% on the Purchase Price. Please refer to Section IV. C. for further details on the Load Structure of the Scheme.

Where a request for a Redemption is for both the amount and number of Units, the amount requested for Redemption will be considered as the definitive request. If the balance in the Unitholder's account does not cover the amount required for the Redemption request, then the Mutual Fund is authorised to close the account of the Unitholder and send the entire such (lesser) balance to the Unitholder. In case an investor has Purchased Units on more than 1 Business Day (either under the NFO Period or through subsequent purchases), the Units purchased prior in time (i.e. those Units which have been held for the longest period of time), will be deemed to have been Redeemed first i.e. on a FIFO basis. Unitholders may also request for Redemption of their entire holding and close the account by indicating the same to the Fund / AMC. Where however, the Unitholder wishes to Redeem Units for a specified amount, then the amount to be paid on Redemption will be divided by the Redemption price, and the resultant number of Units will be Redeemed. Minimum Amount for Switches In case of Switch into the Scheme by an existing investor of any scheme of the Fund, the minimum application amount shall be Rs. 50,000/-

Minimum balance to be maintained and consequences of non maintenance.

The minimum balance to be maintained in a Unitholder’s account is Rs. 1,000/-. The Fund may close a Unitholder's account and refund the balance amount in the account to the Unitholder, if as a consequence of a Redemption, the balance falls below Rs.1000/- and the Unitholder fails to purchase sufficient Units to bring the value of the Unitholders’ account up to the minimum amount or more, after written notice is sent by the Mutual Fund.

Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) This facility enables investors to save and invest periodically over a period of time. It is a convenient way to "invest as you earn" and offers the investor an opportunity to enter the market regularly, thus averaging the acquisition cost of the Units. The conditions for investing in the SIP will be as follows: (a) In case the SIP started during the NFO Period, the Fund will accept a cheque only for the first installment and the cheque should be dated

54

on or before the date of submission of the Application Form. The payment for the subsequent SIP installments (minimum 5 additional payment instructions), shall be made on 7th or 21st of a month only through ECS / or in any other manner as may be acceptable to the AMC. Prospective investors should note that for SIP started during the NFO Period the second installment by ECS will be debited from the investor's bank account on the day of the month as selected by the investor only as long as this date is at least 30 days after the allotment of shares. Example: The investor chooses the 7th of each month as his date of ECS debit on a monthly basis. If the NFO Period ends on June 30th, the allotment of shares occurs approximately by July 31st (30 days after the end of the NFO Period). Thirty days after allotment would be August 31st, so the second installment debit would occur on September 7th. The next installment would be debited from the investor's account on October 7th. The remaining installments would thereafter be accepted on a monthly basis. (b) For SIP, the installment after NFO Period should be dated after the date of declaration of the first NAV. Any payments intended for interim period will not be processed and will be treated as void. (c) In case of SIP started during the Ongoing Offer Period, the date of the first cheque / payment instruction shall be the same as the date of the application while the remaining payment instructions (minimum 5 payment instructions) shall be either for the 7th or 21st of a month or quarter) provided there is a minimum period of 30 days after the first payment instruction. (d) Purchases can be made on either a monthly or quarterly basis. (e) Other than the first installment, all successive payment instructions shall be of equal amounts. Details relating to the amount to be invested as a lump sum in the first installment and the amount to be invested for successive installments shall be clearly specified by the investor in the Application Form. (f) The minimum amount for every installment shall be Rs 5,000/-and minimum number of installments for monthly/quarterly SIP will be six. (g) The aggregate amount of all installments shall not be less than Rs 30,000/-. There is no upper limit for individual installments / aggregate investments made under SIP. (h) If the previous folio number is not mentioned, an extension of an existing SIP will be treated as a new SIP on the date of such application and all the above conditions need to be met with. (i) At the expiration of the existing SIP and filing an extension for the SIP, the prevailing Load structure will apply for all the installments indicated in such application. (j) In case of investments under the SIP, if 2 or more consecutive payment instructions provided by the investor / Unitholder are dishonored for either insufficiency of funds or as a result of a stop payment instruction issued by the investor/ Unitholder, the AMC

55

reserves the right to discontinue the SIP facility provided to the investor / Unitholder. Investors should note that an application for SIP can be submitted at Official Points of Acceptance.

Subject to the Unitholder providing such documents as the Trustees / AMC may deem fit and necessary, the Trustees / AMC may in its absolute discretion, and in compliance with and as may be required under applicable Laws and the Regulations, authorise the disclosure to such Unitholder of information pertaining to the Scheme. The Trustees / AMC may not supply information to any Unitholder under circumstances where it reasonably believes that such disclosure involves a material risk of information being utilised contrary to the best interests of the Unitholders of the Scheme.

3. Receiving Account Statement / Correspondence by e-mail

The AMC will encourage the investors to provide their e-mail addresses for all correspondence. The AMC will endeavour to send account statements and any other correspondence (in accordance with the Regulations) including annual reports using e-mail as the mode for communication as may be decided from time to time. The Unitholder will be required to download and print the account statement after receiving the e-mail from the AMC. Should the Unitholder experience any difficulty in accessing the electronically delivered account statement, the Unitholder shall promptly advise the AMC to enable the AMC to make the delivery through alternate means. Failure to advise the AMC of such difficulty within 24 hours after receiving the e-mail will serve as an affirmation regarding the acceptance by the Unitholder of the account statement.

67

It is deemed that the Unitholder is aware of all security risks including possible third party interception of the account statements and content of the account statements becoming known to third parties. Subject to applicable Laws, the Mutual Fund or anyone involved in creating, producing, delivering or managing the account statements of the Unitholders, shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages that may result from the use of or inability to use the service or out of the breach of any warranty. The use and storage of any information including, without limitation, the password, account information, transaction activity, account balances and any other information available on the Unitholder's personal computer is at the risk and sole responsibility of the Unitholder.

4. Personal Identification Number (PIN)

The PIN facility may be made available to the Unitholders. Unitholders will be required to indicate their desire to avail of this facility and also indicate their bank account number, name of the bank and branch in the application for purchasing Units at a future date. A form together with detailed terms and conditions will be mailed to such Unitholders subject to which usage of the PIN will be permitted. On receipt of the form duly signed, the PIN will be mailed to each Unitholder. Unitholders may use the PIN to carry out one or more of the following types of transactions (as may be enabled by the Mutual Fund) by calling the Investor Service Centres / call centres only: • Redemption • Switch • Static data changes viz. address change, change of bank mandate, etc. The Unitholder will be asked for the PIN before the request is accepted. In the interest of the Unitholder, the Investor Service Centre reserves the right to ask for a fax confirmation of the request and any other additional information about the account of the Unitholder. The PIN should never be disclosed to any person or written down where any other person may discover it. All transactions conducted with use of this PIN will be the responsibility of the Unitholder and the Unitholder will abide by the record of the transactions generated. The Mutual Fund and the Investor Service Centre / Registrar shall not accept any responsibility for the unauthorised use of the PIN.

5. Electronic Clearing Service (ECS)

ECS is a facility offered by RBI, for facilitating better customer service by direct credit of Dividend/Redemption proceeds to an investor's bank account through electronic credit. This helps in avoiding loss of Dividend/Redemption warrants in transit or fraudulent encashment. The AMC will endeavour to arrange such facility for payment of Dividend/Redemption proceeds to the Unitholders. However, this facility is optional for the investors. It may be specifically noted that there is no commitment from the AMC that this facility will be made available to the Unitholders for payment of Dividend/ Redemption proceeds. While the AMC will endeavour to arrange the facility, provision of this facility will be dependent on various factors including sufficient demand for the facility from Unitholders at any centre, as required by the authorities. In places where such a facility is not available or if the facility is discontinued by the Scheme for any reason, the AMC shall dispatch to the Unitholders the Dividend proceeds in the manner provided in the manner set out in this Scheme Information Document.
