TATA EQUITY MANAGEMENT FUND

III. A. RISK FACTORS

Mutual Funds and securities investments are subject tomarket risks and there is no assurance or guarantee that theScheme will achieve its objective.

As with any investment in stocks, shares and securities, theNAV of the Units under this Scheme may go up or down,depending on the factors and forces affecting the capitalmarkets.

Past performance of the previous Schemes, the Sponsors orits Group/Affiliates is not indicative of and does not guaranteethe future performance of the Scheme.

Tata Equity Management Fund is only the name of the Schemeand does not in any manner indicate either the quality of theScheme or its future prospects and the returns. Investorsare urged to study the terms of the Offer carefully and consulttheir Investment Advisor before they invest in the Scheme.

B. SCHEME SPECIFIC RISK FACTORS ANDSPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

Liquidity and Settlement Risks

The liquidity of the Scheme’s investments may be inherentlyrestricted by trading volumes, transfer procedures and settlementperiods. From time to time, the Scheme will invest in certainsecurities of certain companies, industries, sectors, etc. based oncertain investment parameters as adopted internally by TAML.While at all times the Asset Management Company will endeavourthat excessive holding/investment in certain securities of industries,sectors, etc. by the Scheme is avoided, the funds invested by theScheme in certain securities of industries, sectors, etc. may acquirea substantial portion of the Scheme’s investment portfolio andcollectively may constitute a risk associated with non-diversificationand thus could affect the value of investments. Reduced liquidity inthe secondary market may have an adverse impact on marketprice and the Scheme’s ability to dispose of particular securities,when necessary, to meet the Scheme’s liquidity needs or inresponse to a specific economic event or during restructuring ofthe Scheme’s investment portfolio. Furthermore, from time to time,the Asset Management Company, the Custodian, the Registrar,any Associate, any Distributor, Dealer, any Company, CorporateBodies, Trusts, any Retirement and Employee Benefit Funds orany Associate or otherwise, any scheme / mutual fund managedby the Asset Management Company or by any other AssetManagement Company may invest in the Scheme. While at alltimes the Trustee Company and the Asset Management Companywill endeavour that excessive holding of Units in the Scheme amonga few Unitholders is avoided, however, the funds invested by theseaforesaid persons may acquire a substantial portion of theScheme’s outstanding Units and collectively may constitute amajority unitholder in the Scheme. Redemption of Units held bysuch persons may have an adverse impact on the value of theUnits of the Scheme because of the timing of any such redemptionsand this may impact the ability of other Unitholders to redeem theirrespective Units.

Investment Risks

The value of, and income from, an investment in the Scheme candecrease as well as increase, depending on a variety of factorswhich may affect the values and income generated by the Scheme’sportfolio of securities. The returns of the Scheme’s investmentsare based on the current yields of the securities, which may beaffected generally by factors affecting capital markets such asprice and volume, volatility in the stock markets, interest rates,currency exchange rates, foreign investment, changes inGovernment and Reserve Bank of India policy, taxation, political,economic or other developments, closure of the Stock Exchangesetc. Investors should understand that the investment pattern

indicated, in line with prevailing market conditions, is only ahypothetical example as all investments involve risk and there isno assurance that the Scheme’s investment objective will be attainedor that the Scheme be in a position to maintain the model percentageof investment pattern particularly under exceptional circumstances.

Different types of securities in which the scheme would invest inthe offer document carry different levels and types of risk.Accordingly the scheme’s risk may increase or decrease dependingupon its investment pattern. e.g corporate bonds carry a higheramount of risk than Government securities. Further even amongcorporate bonds, bonds which are AAA rated are comparativelyless risky than bonds which are AA rated.

The Scheme will endeavour to invest in highly researched growth/value stocks with high dividen yield. However the growth associatedwith equities is generally high as also the erosion in the value of theinvestments/portfolio in the case of the capital markets passingthrough a bearish phase is a distinct possibility. The NAV of thescheme is largely dependent on the performance of the companiesand the sectors wherein the investment has been made.

The scheme may use techniques and instruments ( as disclosedin the clause “portfolio turnover”) for efficient portfolio managementand to attempt to hedge or reduce the risk of such fluctuations.However these techniques and instruments if imperfectly usedhave the risk of the scheme incurring losses due to mismatchesparticularly in a volatile market. The Fund’s ability to use thesetechniques may be limited by market conditions, regulatory limitsand tax considerations (if any). The use of these techniques isdependent on the ability to predict movements in the prices ofsecurities being hedged and movements in interest rates. Thereexists an imperfect correlation between the hedging instrumentsand the securities or market sectors being hedged. Besides, thefact that skills needed to use these instruments are different fromthose needed to select the Fund’s / Scheme’s securities. There isa possible absence of a liquid market for any particular instrumentat any particular time even though the futures and options may bebought and sold on an organised exchange. The use of thesetechniques involves possible impediments to effective portfoliomanagement or the ability to meet repurchase / redemption requestsor other short-term obligations because of the percentage of theScheme’s assets segregated to cover its obligations.

Risk Associated with Securitised DebtScheme may invest in domestic securitized debt such as assetbacked securities (ABS) or mortgage backed securities (MBS).Asset Backed Securities (ABS) are securitized debts where theunderlying assets are receivables arising from automobile loans,personal loans, loans against consumer durables, etc. Mortgagebacked securities (MBS) are securitized debts where the underlyingassets are receivables arising from loans backed by mortgage ofresidential / commercial properties. ABS/MBS instruments reflectthe undivided interest in the underlying pool of assets and do notrepresent the obligation of the issuer of ABS/MBS or the originatorof the underlying receivables. The ABS/MBS holders have a limitedrecourse to the extent of credit enhancement provided. If thedelinquencies and credit losses in the underlying pool exceed thecredit enhancement provided, ABS/MBS holders will suffer creditlosses. ABS/MBS are also normally exposed to a higher level ofreinvestment risk as compared to the normal corporate orsovereign debt. At present in Indian market, following types ofloans are amortised :

Auto Loans (cars / commercial vehicles /two vehicles)

Residential Mortgages or Housing Loans

Consumer Durable Loans

Personal Loans

The main risks pertaining to each of the asset classes above aredescribed below:

TATA EQUITY MANAGEMENT FUND

Auto Loans (cars / commercial vehicles /two vehicles)

The underlying assets (cars etc) are susceptible todepreciation in value whereas the loans are given at highloan to value ratios. Thus, after a few months, the value ofasset becomes lower than the loan outstanding. Theborrowers, therefore, may sometimes tend to default onloans and allow the vehicle to be repossessed.

These loans are also subject to model risk. ie if a particularautomobile model does not become popular, loans given forfinancing that model have a much higher likelihood of turningbad. In such cases, loss on sale of repossession vehiclesis higher than usual.

Commercial vehicle loans are susceptible to the cyclicalityin the economy. In a downturn in economy, freight ratesdrop leading to higher defaults in commercial vehicle loans.Further, the second hand prices of these vehicles alsodecline in such economic environment.

Housing Loans

Housing loans in India have shown very low default rateshistorically. However, in recent years, loans have been givenat high loan to value ratios and to a much younger borrowerclasses. The loans have not yet gone through the fulleconomic cycle and have not yet seen a period of decliningproperty prices. Thus the performance of these housingloans is yet to be tested and it need not conform to thehistorical experience of low default rates.

Consumer Durable Loans

The underlying security for such loans is easily transferablewithout the bank’s knowledge and hence repossession isdifficult.

The underlying security for such loans is also susceptibleto quick depreciation in value. This gives the borrowers ahigh incentive to default.

Personal Loans

These are unsecured loans. In case of a default, the bankhas no security to fall back on.

The lender has no control over how the borrower has usedthe borrowed money.

Further, all the above categories of loans have the followingcommon risks:

All the above loans are retail, relatively small value loans.There is a possibility that the borrower takes different loansusing the same income proof and thus the income is notsufficient to meet the debt service obligations of all theseloans.

In India, there is no ready database available regardingpast credit record of borrowers. Thus, loans may be givento borrowers with poor credit record.

In retail loans, the risks due to frauds are high.

Securities Lending RisksIt may be noted that this activity would have the inherent probabilityof collateral value drastically falling in times of strong downwardmarket trends, rendering the value of collateral inadequate untilsuch time as that diminution in value is replenished by additionalsecurity. It is also possible that the borrowing party and/or theapproved intermediary may suddenly suffer severe businesssetback and become unable to honour its commitments. This,along with a simultaneous fall in value of collateral would renderpotential loss to the Scheme. Besides, there is also be temporaryilliquidity of the securities that are lent out and the scheme will notbe able to sell such lent out securities until they are returned.

Interest Rate Risk

As with debt instruments, changes in interest rate may affect theScheme’s net asset value. Generally the prices of instrumentsincrease as interest rates decline and decrease as interest ratesrise. Prices of long-term securities fluctuate more in response tosuch interest rate changes than short-term securities. Indian debtand government securities markets can be volatile leading to thepossibility of price movements up or down in fixed income securitiesand thereby to possible movements in the NAV.

Credit Risk

Credit risk or Default risk refers to the risk that an issuer of a fixedincome security may default (i.e. the issuer will be unable to maketimely principal and interest payments on the security). Becauseof this risk corporate debentures are sold at a higher yield abovethose offered on Government Securities which are sovereignobligations and free of credit risk. Normally, the value of a fixedincome securities will fluctuate depending upon the changes in theperceived level of credit risk as well as any actual event of default.The greater the credit risk, the greater the yield required forsomeone to be compensated for the increased risk.

Reinvestment Risk

This risk refers to the difference in the interest rate levels at whichcash flows received from the securities in the schemes arereinvested. The additional income from reinvestment is the “intereston interest” component. The risk is that the rate at which interimcash flows are reinvestment may be lower than that originallyassumed.

Risks associated with Derivatives

Derivative products are specialised instruments that requireinvestment techniques and risk analysis different from thoseassociated with stocks and bonds. Derivatives require themaintenance of adequate controls to monitor the transactionsentered into, the ability to assess the risk that a derivative add tothe portfolio and the ability to forecast price of securities beinghedged and interest rate movements correctly. There is a possibilitythat a loss may be sustained by the portfolio as a result of thefailure of another party (usually referred to as the “counterparty”)to comply with the terms of the derivatives contract. Other risks inusing derivatives include the risk of mis-pricing or impropervaluation of derivatives and the inability of derivatives to correlateperfectly with underlying assets, rates and indices.

Such NFO expenses shall be amortised over life of the closed endedscheme. Hence in accordance with the Regulations, NFO expenses,not exceeding 6% of the amount mobilised, will be charged to thescheme and will be amortised over a period of 18 months as illustratedon page 8. If investor opts for the redemption before the completionof 18 months, proportionate unamortized portion of the NFO expensesoutstanding at on the date of the redemption shall be recovered fromsuch investor. This is illustrated below.

For eg:1

The scheme has mobilised Rs. 100 crore during the NFO period andRs.6 cores been incurred towards NFO expenses. Rs. 6 cores will beamortised equally on a daily basis over a period of 18 months. Ifinvestor opts for a redemption of 10000 units after expiry of 6 months,unamoritsed balance of NFO expenses will be recovered from theinvestor by way of an early exit charge. This will be calculated asfollows ;

NFO Mobilisation Rs. 100 crores

NFO Units Creation 10 crore (100/10)

NFO Expenses Rs. 6 crore

Amortisation Period 18 months

Amortisation Per Day (6,00,00,000/(18*30) = Rs.1,11,111/-

Amortisation Per Unit (1,11,111/100000000) =Rs. 0.0011

Units redemmed after6 months 10000

Unamortised NFO ExpensesAt the end of 6 months =6,00,00,000- (111111*180)

i.e Rs.4,00,00,020/-

Unamortised NFO Expenses

Per Unit At the end of 6 months = (4,00,00,020/100000000)i.e. 0.4000

Per Unit Exit ChargeApplicable at the endof 6 months Rs. 0.4000

Assumed NAV at theend of 6 months Rs.10.5000

Amount payable to theinvestors Rs.10.5000 - 0.4000 = Rs.10.1000/-

E.g 2

The scheme has mobilised Rs. 100 crore during the NFO period andRs.6 cores been incurred towards NFO expenses. Rs. 6 cores will beamortised equally on a daily basis over a period of 18 months. Ifinvestor opts for a redemption of 10000 units after expiry of 12 months,unamoritsed balance of NFO expenses will be recovered from theinvestor by way of an early exit charge. This will be calculated asfollows ;

NFO Mobilisation Rs. 100 crores

NFO Units Creation 10 crore (100/10)

NFO Expenses Rs. 6 crore

Amortisation Period 18 months

Amortisation Per Day (6,00,00,000/(18*30) = Rs.1,11,111/-

Amortisation Per Unit (1,11,111/100000000) =Rs. 0.0011

Units redemmedafter 12 months 10000

Unamortised NFO Expenses

At the end of 12 months =6,00,00,000- (111111*365)i.e Rs.1,94,44,444/-

Unamortised NFO Expenses

Per Unit At the end of 12 months = (1,94,44,444/100000000) i.e. 0.1944

Per Unit Exit Charge Applicable at the end of

12 months Rs. 0.1944

Assumed NAV at theend of 12 months Rs.11.0000

Amount payable to theinvestors Rs.11.0000 - 0.1944 = Rs.10.8056/-

Exit charge will get reduced over a period of time.

VIII. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIESi. Investment Objective, Investment Strategy and Risk

Management:The primary investment objective of the scheme is to seek togenerate capital appreciation & provide long-term growthopportunities by investing in a portfolio constituted of equity & equityrelated instruments and the secondary objective is to generateconsistent returns by investing in debt and money market securities.The fund will have the flexibility to invest in a wide range of companieswith an objective to maximize the returns, at the same time trying tominimize the risk by reasonable diversification and using derivativeas a risk management tool.

However there can be no assurance that the investment objectiveof the scheme will be realized, as actual market movements may beat variance with anticipated trends.

Investment StrategyThe Broad Investment strategy of the fund will be to invest in equity& equity related instruments. The fund will also use the derivativesroute to hedge the equity portfolio & the extent to which the portfoliowill be hedged will be linked to the P/E of the Index as given in theindicative table below: The extent of hedging of the portfolio isdetermined based on the month end weighted average P/E ratio ofthe Index, which in this case will be the S&P CNX Nifty.

18 - 22 25 - 50

22 - 26 50 - 70

26 - 30 70 - 90

Above 30 90 - 100

The extent of hedging would involve complete portfolio hedging byway of short position in Index Futures / Options as well as hedging ofindividual stocks depending upon the fund managers’ perception ofthe markets. Hedging would also include but not only limited to sellingof stocks that are not owned by the Fund but are available underderivative (Futures & Options) segment in the market for trading fromtime to time as permitted by the Regulations/ guidelines.

The Derivative will be used mainly for the purpose of hedging.However the Fund manager may if the opportunity exist, usederivatives to earn profit.

The derivative strategy is illustrated below

Scenario 1The Fund Manager expects a temporary correction in the market.Derivative Strategy – Short Nifty Future ContractObjective – Hedge against fall in price

Scheme Corpus Rs.100 croreInvestment on Equity Rs. 80 croreP/E of S&P CNX Nifty 18Hedge Position 25% of Equity PortfolioHedging Position Amount 20 croreHedge Instrument Index Future

Fall in the Portfolio Value 80 * 5% = 4 croreGain in the Index future 20 * 5% = 1 croreNet Loss (4 – 1 ) = 3 crore

However in case of continued upward movement of market, the abovestrategy may not meet the objective.Scenario 2The Fund Manager expects market to be remain strong but expectsa fall in price of a particular stock say stock ‘A’Derivative Strategy – Short Stock ‘A’ Future ContractObjective – Earn ProfitScheme Corpus Rs.100 croreInvestment on Equity Rs. 80 croreP/E of S&P CNX Nifty 18

Maximum Derivative Position 25% of Equity PortfolioHedging Position Amount 20 croreHedge Instrument Stock Future “A “

Position on the date of maturity/sale of index future1 - Market movement 5% upsideStock future Movement 5% down sideRise in the Portfolio Value 80 * 5% = 4 croreGain in the Stock Future “A” 20 * 5% = 1 croreNet Gain (4 + 1 ) = 5 croreHowever in case of continued upward movement in the price of StockFuture “A”, market the above strategy may not meet the objectiveand the scheme may incure loss.

Price to Earnings Ratio (P/E ratio) is the ratio of the stock price of acompany to its earnings per share. In other words, it is the price one

pays for every rupee of earnings. The higher the P/E ratio, the moreexpensive the stock or market is, because one is paying more for thesame level of earnings. The P/E ratio of the index is the weightedaverage P/E ratio of the constituent stocks of the index, which in thiscase is the S&P CNX Nifty. Thus, by following such an allocationstrategy, the fund manager decreases the % of exposure in derivativeswhen markets are down, i.e. when P/E ratio falls to help you capitaliseon the upside potential, and increases the % of exposure to derivativeswhen markets are high, i.e when P/E ratio is high to limit the downsiderisk. Thus the rebalancing of the portfolio will be done on a monthlybasis based on last month end’s weighted average P/E.

The fund will, in general invest a significant part of its corpus in equitieshowever pending investments in equities; the surplus amount of thefund should be invested in debt and money market instruments. Alsowhenever good investment opportunity are not available, or the equitymarket is not likely to perform in the view of the Fund manager theFund will reduce its exposure to equity and during that period thesurplus asset of the Fund shall be invested in debt and money marketinstruments. However there is no assurance that all such buying andselling activities would necessarily result in benefit for the Fund. Theallocation between debt and equity will be decided based upon theprevailing market conditions, macro economic environment, and theperformance of the corporate sector, the equity market and otherconsiderations. At time such churning could lead to higher brokerageand transaction costs. To achieve its primary objective as mentionedabove, the Fund would invest in equity and equity related securities.To achieve its secondary objective, the fund would invest in debtand money market securities. These securities could include:

Equity and equity related securities are such instruments likeConvertible bonds and debentures and warrants carrying theright to obtain equity shares and derivative instruments.

Obligations of Indian Companies (both public and privatesector) and developmental financial institutions.

Certificate of Deposits (CDs)

Commercial paper (CPs)

In Securitized Debt upto 20% of the net assets of the scheme.No investments shall be made in foreign securitised debt.

The non-convertible part of convertible securities

Any other domestic fixed income securities

Money market instruments permitted by SEBI/ RBI, havingmaturities upto 1 year in call money market instruments asmay be provided by the RBI to meet the liquidity requirements

Derivatives like Interest rate swaps, Forward Rate agreements,stock futures, index futures, and other such instruments aspermitted by RBI /SEBI

Any other instruments as allowed by the Regulations from timeto time.

The Fund may also enter into “Repo”, or such other transactionsas may be allowed to Mutual Funds from time to time.

Subject to the Regulations, the investments may be in securitieswhich are listed or unlisted, secured or unsecured, rated or unrated,having variable maturities, and acquired through secondary marketpurchases, RBI auctions, open market sales conducted by RBI etc.,Initial Public Offers (IPOs), other public offers, placements, rights,offers, negotiated deals, etc

The Scheme may also enter into repurchase and reverse repurchaseobligations in all securities held by it as per the guidelines andRegulations applicable to such transactions.

The scheme may also invest in debt instruments such as nonconvertible portion of Convertible Debentures (Khokas), NonConvertible Debentures, Securitised Debt, Secured Premium Notes,Zero Interest Bonds, Deep Discount Bonds, Floating Rate Bonds /Notes, Government securities and Money Market Instrument likeCall Deposit, Repos, Commercial Paper, Certificate of Deposit,

TATA EQUITY MANAGEMENT FUND

Treasury Bills, etc. for providing ongoing liquidity & preservation ofcapital in a bear market.

However the weightages of debt & equity may be changedexceptional circumstances, depending on market conditions, bytaking approval of the Trustee Company. The main aim of suchsteps will be to protect the interests of the unitholders. The aboveinvestment policies are in conformity with the provisions of variousconstitutional documents viz. MOA/AOA of the TAML/ TrusteeCompany, IMA and the Trust Deed.

The Scheme will purchase securities in the public offerings andrights issues, as well as those traded in the secondary markets. Onoccasions, if deemed appropriate, the Scheme will invest in securitiessold directly by the issuer, or acquired in a negotiated transactionor issued by way of private placement. The moneys collected underthis scheme shall be invested only in transferable securities.

As per SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations 1996, the Fund shall notmake any investments in any un-listed securities of associate/groupcompanies of the Sponsors. The Fund will also not make investmentin privately placed securities issued by associate / group companiesof the Sponsors. The Fund may invest not more than 25% of thenet assets in listed securities of Group companies. The Schememay invest subscription money received from the investing publicbefore close of the New fund offer Period and/or pending allotmentof Units, in money market instrument or in fixed deposits withschedule commercial banks as per SEBI Regulations. In addition,TAML on being satisfied or receipt of the minimum subscriptionamount can commence investment out of the funds received, inaccordance with the investment objective of the scheme. Incomeearned (net of expenses) during the period prior to the date ofallotment on units shall be merged with the income of the Schemeon completion of the allotment of the Units. In the event of nonreceipt of the minimum subscription amount, the Trustee Companyshall ensure that the entire amount collected as subscription moneyis refunded to the Unitholders notwithstanding any loss arising outof such investment during the interim period.

ii. Investment Pattern and Risk Profile

Under normal circumstances, the total assets of the Scheme, shall(after providing for all ongoing expenses) generally be invested /the indicative asset allocation shall be as follows :

Proportion**(% of Funds Available / Net Assets)

Instrument Minimum Maximum Risk

Equity / Equity relatedinstruments 65 100 High

Debt, Money Market andSecuritized Debt Instruments* 0 35 Low to

Medium

* Investment by the scheme in securitised debt, will not normallyexceed 20% of the net assets of the scheme.

** At the time of investment

The above Asset Allocation Pattern is only indicative. The investmentmanager in line with the investment objective as may alter the abovepattern for short term and on defensive consideration. The allocationbetween debt and equity will be decided based upon the prevailingmarket conditions, macro economic environment and the performanceof corporate sector, the equity market and other considerations.

Exposure to derivative instruments will not exceed 100% of theportfolio value (i.e net assets including cash)

Investments in derivative instruments may be done for trading aswell as hedging and Portfolio balancing. The scheme may usederivatives upto the maximum limit permitted under SEBI Regulationsfrom time to time.

No investments will be made in foreign securitised debt.

If permitted by SEBI under extant regulations / guidelines, notmore than 25% of the net assets of the scheme shall be deployedin securities lending. The Scheme would limit its exposure, withregards to securities lending., for a single intermediary, to theextent of 5% of the total net assets of the scheme at the time oflending.

Investment in Securitized Debt :

Securitized debt would be maximum upto 20% of total net assets ofthe scheme. Inherently, securitized debt is a riskier instrument ascompared to similar debt instruments, as shown by the risk factorsfor securitized debt. The fund manager would therefore use greatcaution / discretion whilst dealing in such paper he would use it onlyin situation where the securitized debt is giving a marginally betterreturn for a similarly profiled debt instrument or conversely, if asecuritized debt instrument and a debt instrument are giving the sameyield but the debt instrument is rated one notch lower in rating profile.It would be endeavored to ensure that the over all risk profile of theportfolio does not get materially concentrated in securitized debt,and usage is only to get a better yield if the risk profile of the portfoliois not affected too adversely.

The Trustee Company may from time to time for a short term periodon defensive consideration invest upto 100% of the funds availablein Money Market Instruments, the primary motive being to protectthe Net Asset Value of the Scheme and protect unitholders interestsso also to earn reasonable returns on liquid funds maintained forredemption/repurchase of units. The Trustee Company may fromtime to time for a short term period under exceptional circumstanceson defensive consideration modify/ alter the investment pattern /asset allocation the intent being to protect the Net Asset Value ofthe Scheme & Unitholders interests without seeking consent of theunitholders.

iii. Trading in Derivatives

As per SEBI circular DNPD/Cir-29/2005 dated September 14, 2005Mutual Funds are allowed to trade in derivatives Mutual Funds cantrade in index futures, index options, stock options and stock futurescontracts. Earlier Mutual Funds were only allowed to use derivativesfor hedging and portfolio balancing.

The following example seeking to explains the above limitsnumerically, are purely illustrative and should not be percieved asany limits or restriction or assurance or otherwise of the probableoutcome of such transactions.

Example 1:Investment in Index Futures or Options (Long Position) bythe scheme without investing in equities: The scheme mobilizesRs 100 crores during NFO. The Scheme may invest all the moneysit has collected in the New Fund Offer (NFO) in Index Futures or inIndex Options. (i.e going long on the market). As investing in particularstocks would involve impact on the share price, buying of Futuresand Options which are comparatively more liquid would save thescheme the impact of buying in bulk and paying a higher price forthe same. The Fund would thus buy the index futures or options andprotect itself against the rise in equity prices. During the course oftime it would invest in particular stocks and sell the index futures orindex options and reduce the impact cost of buying scripts andinfluencing their share price.

Event Gain/(Loss) Gain/(Loss) Overall Gain/from from (Loss) toderivative cash market Schemeposition position

5% rise in Rs.100 * 5% = NIL Rs. 5 croresequity price Rs. 5 Crs

5% fall in Rs.100 * 5% = NIL (Rs. 5 crores)equity price (Rs. 5 Crs)

Example 2:Investment in Index Futures or Options (Short Position) by thescheme without investing in equities: The scheme mobilizes Rs100 crores during NFO. The Scheme may invest all the moneys ithas collected in the New Fund Offer (NFO) in Index Futures or IndexOptions. (i.e going short on the market) when the view is that themarket is over heated and the indices may fall When the fundmanager feels that the markets have corrected reasonably theymay square off their puts and buy into shares in the cash market.

Event Gain/(Loss) Gain/(Loss) Overall Gain/from from (Loss) toderivative cash market Schemeposition position

5% rise in Rs.100 * 5% = NIL (Rs. 5 crores)equity price (Rs. 5 Crs)

5% fall in Rs.100 * 5% = NIL Rs. 5 croresequity price Rs. 5 Crs

Example 3: Trading in derivatives (Long Position Index).Thescheme has a corpus of Rs100 crores. It has invested Rs 25crores in equity and the balance amount it can invest in Futures andoptions of the index or even of individual stocks. Thus it can takeadvantage of the rise in stock prices and also protect itself againstimpact cost of buying large quantities of stock.

Event Gain/(Loss) Gain/(Loss) Overall Gain/from from (Loss) toderivative cash market Schemeposition position

5% rise in Rs.75 * 5% = Rs.25 * 5% = Rs. 5 croresequity price Rs. 3.75 Crs Rs.1.25 Crs

5% fall in Rs.75 * 5% = Rs.25 * 5% = (Rs. 5 crores)equity price (Rs. 3.75 Crs) (Rs.1.25 Crs)

Example 4: Trading in derivatives (Short Position Index).Thescheme has a corpus of Rs 100 crores. It has invested Rs 90crores in equity. If there is a correction which the fund managerexpects it would not be possible for him to sell all the stocks at onepoint of time. The fund may sell index futures or options and thestock futures or options as they are more liquid and prices of equitywhich they hold in the cash market would not be impacted.

Event Gain/(Loss) Gain/(Loss) Overall Gain/from from (Loss) toderivative cash market Schemeposition position

5% rise in Rs.90 * 5% = Rs.10 * 5% = (Rs. 5 crores)equity price (Rs. 4.50 Crs) (Rs.0.50 Crs)

5% fall in Rs.90 * 5% = Rs.10 * 5% = Rs. 5 croresequity price Rs. 4.50 Crs Rs.0.50 Crs

The limits applicable for all above derivative transactions would beas per the maximum allowable limits under SEBI (Mutual Fund)Regulations and as permitted by the Trustee from time to time.

Examples of Stock Options / Futures:

Selling spot and buying future:

In case the fund holds the stock of a company at say Rs. 1000 whilein the futures market it trades at a discount to the spot price say atRs. 980 then the fund may sell the stock and buy the futures. On thedate of expiry of the stock future, the fund may reverse thetransactions (i.e. Buying at Spot & Selling futures) and earn a risk-free Rs. 20/- (2% absolute) on its holdings. As this can be withoutany dilution of the view of the fund on the underlying stock the fundcan still benefit from any movement of the price in the northwarddirection, i.e. if on the date of expiry of the futures, if the stock tradesat 1100 which would be the price of the futures too, the fund willhave a benefit of Rs. 100/ whereby the fund gets the 10% upsidemovement together with the 2% benefit on the arbitrage, and thusgetting a total return of 12%.

Buying spot and selling future:Where the fund holds the stock of a company trading in the spotmarket at Rs 1000 while it trades at Rs. 1020/- in the futures marketthen fund may buy the stock at spot and sell in the futures marketthereby earning Rs 20. In case of adequacy of cash with the fund,this strategy may be used to enhance returns of the Scheme whichwas otherwise sitting on cash.

TATA EQUITY MANAGEMENT FUND

Buying stock future:Where the scheme wants to initiate a long position in a stock whosespot price is at say, Rs.1000 and futures is at 980, then the fund mayjust buy the futures contract instead of the spot thereby benefitingfrom a lower cost option.

In case the fund has a bearish view on a stock which is trading in thespot market at Rs.1000/- and the futures market at sayRs.980/-. The fund can express such a view subject to extant SEBIregulations by initiating a short position in the futures contract. Incase the view is right and the futures price depreciates to say900/- the fund can square up the short position thereby earning aprofit of Rs. 80/-

Put Option (Buy):The fund buys a Put Option at Rs 1000 by paying a premium of sayRs 50. If the stock price goes down to Rs. 900, the fund would protectits downside and would only have to bear the premium of Rs 50instead of a loss of Rs 100 whereas if the stock price moves up tosay Rs. 1100 the fund may let the Option expire and forego thepremium thereby capturing Rs. 100 upside after bearing the premiumof Rs.50.

Writing a Call Option:The fund writes a call option at Rs. 1050 and earns a premium of,say, Rs. 10. If the price is higher than Rs. 1050, say Rs.1100/- atexpiry then the option is exercised, the Fund earns the premium ofRs. 10/- but loses the difference between the market price and theexercise price i.e. Rs. 50/-. In case the stock price is less than Rs.1050,the fund gets to keep the premium of Rs.10/-.

Writing a Put Option:The fund writes a put option with the strike price of Rs 1000 andearns a premium of say Rs 20. In case the stock trades at Rs 950the put option will be exercised, the fund will earn the premium ofRs.20/- but losses the difference between the exercise price andthe market price which is Rs.50/-. Where the stock trades at abovethe exercise price, the option-holder will not exercise the option andlet it expire. In this case the fund will earn the premium income of Rs.20.

Example 5 : Use of IRSAssuming the Scheme is having 10% of the portfolio in cash. Thefund manager has a view that the interest rate scenario is soft andcall rates are unlikely to spurt over the next three months. The fundmanager would therefore prefer to receive a higher rate of returnon his cash, which he is lending in the overnight call market. Inother words, he would like to move to a 91 days fixed interest ratefrom overnight floating rate.

1. Say Notional Amount : Rs. 2 crores2. Benchmark : NSE MIBOR3. Tenor : 91 Days4. Fixed Rate : 10.25%5. At the end of 91 days;

6. The Scheme pays : compounded call rates for 91 daysis 9.90%

7. TMF receives : Fixed rate at 10.25% for 91 days.

In practice, however the difference of the two amounts is settled.Here the Scheme receives Rs. 2,00,00,000 x 0.35% x91 / 365 =17,452. The players in IRS are scheduled commercial banks, primarydealers, corporate, mutual funds and All India Financial Institutions.

Forward Rate Agreements (FRA):

This is an agreement between two counterparties to pay or to receivethe difference between an agreed fixed rate (the FRA rate) and theinterest rate prevailing on a stipulated future date based on thenotional amount, for an agreed period.

The interest rate benchmarks that are commonly used for floatingrate in interest rate swaps are those on various Money Market

Instruments. In Indian markets, the benchmark most commonlyused is MIBOR.

Risks associated with Derivatives

Derivative products are specialized instruments that requireinvestment techniques and risk analysis different from thoseassociated with stocks and bonds. Derivatives require themaintenance of adequate controls to monitor the transactionsentered into, the ability to assess the risk that a derivative adds tothe portfolio and the ability to forecast price of interest rate movementscorrectly. There is a possibility that a loss may be sustained by theportfolio as a result of the failure of another party (usually referred toas the “counterparty”) to comply with the terms of the derivativescontract. Other risks in using derivatives include the risk of mis-pricing or improper valuation of derivatives and the inability ofderivatives to correlate perfectly with underlying assets, rates andindices. Also, the market for derivative instruments is nascent inIndia.

iv. Change in Investment PatternThe Investment Pattern as outlined above is indicative keeping inview the investment objective of the scheme. The Trustee Companymay from time to time modify the investment strategy and patternprovided such modification is in accordance with the Scheme objectiveand Regulations and as amended from time to time including by wayof Circulars, Press Releases, or Notifications issued by SEBI or theGovernment of India to regulate the activities and growth of MutualFunds, the intent being to protect the Net Asset Value of the Schemeand Unitholders’ interests.

The asset allocation pattern may be modified in the interest of investorsand to protect the NAV of the Schemes, however, the same will bereviewed by the trustee on a quarterly basis and will be rebalanced toits normal position in a time frame as permitted by the trustee.However, the AMC will endeavour to achieve a normal asset allocationpattern in a maximum period of 6 months.

v. Investment by the Fund and the Asset ManagementCompany

The aggregateInterscheme investment by TMF under all its Schemes, other thanfund of fund schemes, taken together, in another Scheme managedby TAML or in any other Scheme of any other Mutual Fund, shall notbe more than 5% of the net asset value of the Fund.

Ifthese limits are exceeded for reasons beyond its control, TAML shalladopt as a priority objective the remedying of that situation, taking dueaccount of the interests of the Unitholders.

In addition, certain investment parameters (like limits on exposure toSectors, Industries, Companies, etc.) may be adopted internally byTAML, and amended from time to time, to ensure appropriatediversification / security for the Fund. The Trustee Company / TAMLmay alter these above stated limitations from time to time, and alsoto the extent the SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996 change, soas to permit the Scheme to make its investments in the full spectrumof permitted investments for mutual funds to achieve its investmentobjective. As such all investments of the Scheme will be made inaccordance with SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996, includingSchedule VII thereof.

vii. Securities Lending by the Mutual FundSubject to the SEBI Regulations as applicable from time to timethe Fund may if the Trustee permits, engage in Stock Lending.Stock Lending means the lending of securities to another person orentity for a fixed period of time at a negotiated compensation in orderto enhance returns of the scheme portfolio. The securities lent will bereturned by the borrower on the expiry of the stipulated period. TheAMC will adhere to the following strict internal limits should it engagein Stock Lending.:-

Not more than 25% of the net assets of the scheme can generally bedeployed in stock lending and not more than 5% of the scheme canbe can be deployed in Stock lending to any single counterparty.Collateral would always be obtained by the approved intermediary.Collateral value would always be more than the value of the securitylent. Collateral can be in form of cash , bank guarantee, governmentsecurities, as may be agreed upon with the approved intermediary,and would also be subject to a mark to market valuation on a dailybasis.

Example:A fund has an equity share of a company which it would wish to holdfor a long period of time as a core holding in the portfolio as per thefund manager’s plan. In that case the investors would be benefitedonly to the extent of the rise in the value of the share, from time totime if any, on the exchange. If the fund is enabled to lend the saidsecurity to a borrower who would be wanting to take advantage ofthe market fluctuations in its price, the borrower would return thesecurity to the lender (scheme) at a stipulated time or on demand fora negotiated compensation. The fund’s unitholders can enhance theirreturns to the extent of the compensation it will earn for lending thesame. An adequate security or collateral will have to be maintainedby the intermediary. This should always be higher than the cost ofthe security. Thus it is in the interest of the investors that returns canbe enhanced by way of stock lending rather than hold the securityonly for capital appreciation potential.

Page 25: ISSUE OF UNITS OF TATA EQUITY MANAGEMENT FUND OF FACE ... · issue of units of tata equity management fund of face value of rupees 10/- each during the new fund offer period. fort

23

TATA EQUITY MANAGEMENT FUND

Thus the scenario under which the fund would participate in stocklending would be :

1. There is a holding of security eg 1 lakh shares of XYZ Ltd in thefund which the fund manager wants to be the core holding ofthe scheme for approximately 6 to 12 months.

2. There is a borrower (not mutual fund) for the security, (who hastaken a short position in the market and needs XYZ Ltd sharesto settle it) who is willing to put up a proper collateral for thesame.(In all cases higher than the price of the script)..

3. The borrower is represented by a proper recognizedintermediary.

4. The agreement is to return the security or the amount sonegotiated at a particular period of time or on demand.

Then the security will be lent by the fund and the unitholders wouldbenefit from the additional compensation earned for lending, apartfrom the capital appreciation which also happens in that stock. Thus,to summarize, stock lending would be done by the scheme only inthe following circumstances:

a) If permitted by trustees and the extent SEBI regulations in thatregard, from time to time.

b) If such activity generates additional returns for the scheme andhelps to enhance the scheme returns.

c) If considering the above, and other factors all considered intotality, such activity is in the interest of unitholders in the scheme.

viii. Underwriting by the SchemeThe Scheme may also undertake underwriting and sub-underwritingactivities (only for equity and equity related instruments) in order toaugment its income, after complying with the approval and complianceprocess specified in the SEBI (Underwriters) Rules & Regulations,1993 and further subject to the following norms:

The capital adequacy of the Mutual Fund for the purposesof SEBI (Underwriters) Rules and Regulations, 1993 shallbe the net assets of the Scheme.

The total underwriting obligation of the Scheme shall notexceed 25% of the total net asset value of the Scheme.

No Underwriting commitment may be undertaken in respectof the Scheme during the period of 6 months prior to thedate of redemption of the Scheme.

The decision to take up any underwriting commitment shallbe made as if the Scheme is actually investing in thatparticular security.

As such, all investment restrictions and prudential guidelinesrelating to investments, individually and in aggregate asmentioned in SEBI Regulations shall, in so far as may beapplicable, apply to underwriting commitments which maybe undertaken under the Scheme.

These underwriting norms / parameters (as expressed / linked to thenet asset/ net asset value/ capital) shall in the ordinary course applyas at the date of the most recent transaction of commitment tounderwrite, and changes do not have to be effected merely because,owing to appreciations or depreciations in value or by reason of thereceipt of any rights, bonuses or benefits in the nature of capital or ofany scheme of arrangement or for amalgamation, reconstruction orexchange, or at any repayment or redemption or other reason outsidethe control of the Fund, any such limits would thereby be breached.If these limits are exceeded for reasons beyond its control, TAMLshall adopt as a priority objective the remedying of that situation,taking due account of the interests of the Unitholders.

As such all underwriting and sub-underwriting activities of the Fundwill be undertaken in accordance with SEBI (Underwriters) Rulesand Regulations, 1993, and the norms as laid down by SEBI Circulardated June 30, 1994, and as amended from time to time.

ix. Portfolio Turnover“Portfolio Turnover” is the term used by any Mutual Fund formeasuring the amount of trading that occurs in a Scheme’s portfolioduring the given period The scheme is an open ended scheme. It isexpected that there would be a number of subscriptions andrepurchase on a daily basis. Consequently, it is difficult to estimatewith any reasonable measure of accuracy, the likely turnover in theportfolio. However, a high turnover would not significantly affect thebrokerage and transaction costs.

The Fund will endeavor to balance the increased cost on account of higherportfolio turnover with the benefits derived there of. A high portfolio turnoverrate is not necessarily a drag on portfolio performance and may berepresentative of arbitrate opportunities that exist for scrips/securities heldin the portfolio rather than an indication of a change in Fund view on a scrip,etc.

TATA EQUITY MANAGEMENT FUND

charged to the scheme and will be amortised over a period of 18months as illustrated on page 8. If investor opts for the redemptionbefore the completion of 18 months, proportionate unamortizedportion of the NFO expenses outstanding at on the date of theredemption shall be recovered from such investor. This is illustratedbelow.

For eg:1

The scheme has mobilised Rs. 100 crore during the NFO periodand Rs.6 cores been incurred towards NFO expenses. Rs. 6 coreswill be amortised equally on a daily basis over a period of 18 months.If investor opts for a redemption of 10000 units after expiry of 6months, unamoritsed balance of NFO expenses will be recoveredfrom the investor by way of an early exit charge. This will be calculatedas follows ;

NFO Mobilisation Rs. 100 crores

NFO Units Creation 10 crore (100/10)

NFO Expenses Rs. 6 crore

Amortisation Period 18 months

Amortisation Per Day (6,00,00,000/(18*30) = Rs.1,11,111/-

Amortisation Per Unit (1,11,111/100000000) =Rs. 0.0011

Units redemmed after

6 months 10000

Unamortised NFO Expenses

At the end of 6 months =6,00,00,000- (111111*180)

i.e Rs.4,00,00,020/-

Unamortised NFO Expenses

Per Unit At the end of 6 months = (4,00,00,020/100000000) i.e. 0.4000

Per Unit Exit Charge Applicable at the end of

6 months Rs. 0.4000

Assumed NAV at theend of 6 months Rs.10.5000

Amount payable to theinvestors Rs.10.5000 - 0.4000 = Rs.10.1000/-

E.g 2

The scheme has mobilised Rs. 100 crore during the NFO periodand Rs.6 cores been incurred towards NFO expenses. Rs. 6 coreswill be amortised equally on a daily basis over a period of 18 months.If investor opts for a redemption of 10000 units after expiry of 12months, unamoritsed balance of NFO expenses will be recoveredfrom the investor by way of an early exit charge. This will be calculatedas follows ;

NFO Mobilisation Rs. 100 crores

NFO Units Creation 10 crore (100/10)

NFO Expenses Rs. 6 crore

Amortisation Period 18 months

Amortisation Per Day (6,00,00,000/(18*30) = Rs.1,11,111/-

Amortisation Per Unit (1,11,111/100000000) =Rs. 0.0011

Units redemmed after

12 months 10000

Unamortised NFO Expenses

At the end of 12 months =6,00,00,000- (111111*365)

i.e Rs.1,94,44,444/-

Unamortised NFO Expenses

Per Unit At the end of 12 months = (1,94,44,444/100000000) i.e. 0.1944

Per Unit Exit Charge Applicable at the end of

12 months Rs. 0.1944

Assumed NAV at theend of 12 months Rs.11.0000

Amount payable to theinvestors Rs.11.0000 - 0.1944 = Rs.10.8056/-

Exit charge will get reduced over a period of time.

Repurchase PriceBefore expiry of 18 months from the date of allotment (i.eDuring close ended period)

= [(Applicable NAV *(1 - Exit Load, if any)- Per unit proportionateunamortised NFO expenses)]

Example 1: if the applicable NAV is Rs. 10.00, proportionateunamortised NFO expenses is 0.1000 per unit and the exit/repurchase load is nil then the repurchase price will be [(Rs.10.000*(1 - 0%)-0.1000] = Rs. 9.9000

It may be noted that there is no exit load during close ended period

Repurchase after conversion into an open ended scheme

Repurchase price = Applicable NAV *(1 - Exit Load, if any)

Example 1: if the applicable NAV is Rs. 10.00 and the exit/repurchaseload is 2 per cent then the repurchase price will beRs.10.000 *(1 - 2%) = Rs. 9.80.

Resale after conversion into an open ended scheme

Resale Price = Applicable NAV *(1 + Sales Load, if any)

Example : if the applicable NAV is Rs. 10.00; sales/entry load is 2per cent then the sales price will be Rs. 10.20.

iii. Valuation of AssetsNAV of the Scheme as stated in the foregoing clause for“Computation & Determination of NAV” will be determined by dividingthe net assets of the Scheme by the number of outstanding Unitson the valuation date.

Pursuant to Regulation 77 of the SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations,1996, the following investment valuation norms are applicable tothe Scheme:1. Traded Securities :

1. The securities shall be valued at the last quoted closingprice on the stock exchange.

2. When the securities are traded on more that onerecognised stock exchange, the securities shall be valuedat the last quoted closing price on the stock exchangewhere the security is actively traded. It would be left tothe AMC to select the appropriate stock exchange, butthe reasons for the selection should be recorded inwriting. There should however be no objection for allscrips being valued at the prices quoted on the stockexchange where a majority in value of the investmentsare principally traded such as the National StockExchange (NSE) or The Stock Exchange, Mumbai (BSE).

3. Once a stock exchange has been selected for valuationof a particular security, reasons for change of theexchange shall be recorded in writing by the AMC.

4. When on a particular valuation day, a security has notbeen traded on the selected stock exchange; the valueat which it is traded on another stock exchange may beused.

5. When a security (other than Government Securities) isnot traded on any stock exchange on a particular valuation

Page 46: ISSUE OF UNITS OF TATA EQUITY MANAGEMENT FUND OF FACE ... · issue of units of tata equity management fund of face value of rupees 10/- each during the new fund offer period. fort

44

TATA EQUITY MANAGEMENT FUND

day, the value at which it was traded on the selectedstock exchange or any other stock exchange, as thecase may be, on the earliest previous day may be usedprovided such date is not more than thirty days prior tovaluation date in case of equity and equity relatedinstruments and 15 days in case of debt securities.

Thinly Traded Securities :

Thinly Traded Equity/Equity Related Securities :When trading in an equity/equity related security (such asconvertible debentures, equity warrants, etc.) in a month is lessthan Rs. 5 lacs and the total volume is less than 50,000 shares, itshall be considered as a thinly traded security and valuedaccordingly.

Where a stock exchange identifies the “thinly traded” securities byapplying the above parameters for the preceding calendar monthand publishes/provides the required information along with thedaily quotations, the same can be used by the mutual funds.

If the share is not listed on the stock exchanges which providesuch information, then it will be obligatory on the part of the mutualfund to make its own analysis in line with the above criteria tocheck whether such securities are thinly traded which would thenbe valued accordingly.

In case trading in an equity security is suspended upto 30 days,then the last traded price would be considered for valuation of thatsecurity. If an equity security is suspended for more than 30 days,then the Asset Management Company/Trustees will decide thevaluation norms to be followed and such norms would bedocumented and recorded.

(i) Thinly Traded Debt Securities:

A debt security (other than Government Securities) shall beconsidered as a thinly traded security if on the valuation date,there are no individual trades in that security in marketablelots (currently Rs. 5 crore) on the principal stock exchange orany other stock exchange.

A thinly traded debt security as defined above would be valuedas per the norms set for non-traded debt security.

(ii) Non Traded Securities :

When a security (other than Government Securities) is nottraded on any stock exchange for a period of 30 days (15days in case of debt security) prior to the valuation date thescrip must be treated as a ‘non traded’ security.

Unlisted Equity Shares will be valued in accordance with thecriteria laid down in SEBI circular no. MFD/CIR03/526/2002dated May 9, 2002.

VALUATION OF NON-TRADED / THINLY TRADED SECURITIES

(i) Non-traded / thinly traded equity securities:

(a) Based on the latest available Balance Sheet, net worthshall be calculated as follows :

(b) Net Worth per share = [share capital + reserves(excluding revaluation reserves) – Misc. expenditureand Debit Balance in P&L A/c] Divided by No. of Paid upShares.

(c) Average capitalisation rate (P/E ratio) for the industrybased upon either BSE or NSE data (which should befollowed consistently and changes, if any noted withproper justification thereof) shall be taken and discountedby 75% i.e. only 25% of the Industry average P/E shallbe taken as capitalisation rate (P/E ratio). Earnings pershare of the latest audited annual accounts will beconsidered for this purpose.

(d) The value as per the net worth value per share and thecapital earning value calculated as above shall be

averaged and further discounted by 10% for ill-liquidityso as to arrive at the fair value per share.

(e) In case the EPS is negative, EPS value for that yearshall be taken as zero for arriving at capitalised earning.

(f) In case where the latest balance sheet of the companyis not available within nine months from the close of theyear, unless the accounting year is changed, the sharesof such companies shall be valued at zero.

(g) In case an individual security accounts for more than5% of the total assets of the scheme, an independentvaluer shall be appointed for the valuation of the saidsecurity.

(ii) (a) Non Traded /Thinly Traded Debt Securities of Upto 182Days to Maturity :As the money market securities are valued on the basis ofamortization (cost plus accrued interest till the beginning of theday plus the difference between the redemption value and the costspread uniformly over the remaining maturity period of theinstruments) the same process should be adopted for non-tradeddebt securities with residual maturity of upto 182 days, in theabsence of any other standard benchmarks in the market. Allother non traded Non Government debt instruments should bevalued using the method suggested in (ii)(b) hereof.

(ii) (b) Non Traded/ Thinly Traded Debt Securities of Over 182Days to Maturity.For the purpose of valuation, all Non Traded Debt Securities wouldbe classified into “Investment grade” and “Non Investment grade”securities based on their credit ratings. The non-investment gradesecurities would further be classified as “Performing” and “NonPerforming” assets

All Non Government investment grade debt securities,classified as not traded, shall be valued on yield to maturitybasis as described below.

All Non Government non investment grade performing debtsecurities would be valued at a discount of 25% to the facevalue

All Non Government non investment grade non performingdebt securities would be valued based on the provisioningnorms.

The approach in valuation of non traded debt securities is basedon the concept of using spreads over the benchmark rate to arriveat the yields for pricing the non traded security.

The Yields for pricing the non traded debt security would be arrivedat using the process as defined below.

Step AA Risk Free Benchmark Yield is built using the governmentsecurities (GOI Sec) as the base. GOI Secs are used as thebenchmarks as they are traded regularly; free of credit risk; andtraded across different maturity spectrums every week.

Step B

A Matrix of spreads (based on the credit risk) are built for markingup the benchmark yields. The matrix is built based on tradedcorporate paper on the wholesale debt segment of an appropriatestock exchange and the primary market issuances. The matrix isrestricted only to investment grade corporate paper.

Step CThe yields as calculated above are Marked-up/Marked-down forill-liquidity risk

Step D

The Yields so arrived are used to price the portfolio

TATA EQUITY MANAGEMENT FUND

METHODOLOGY

A. Construction of Risk Free Benchmark

Using Government of India dated securities, the Benchmarkshall be constructed as below :

Government of India Dated securities will be groupedinto the following duration buckets viz., 0.5-1 years, 1-2years, 2-3 years, 3-4 years, 4-5 years, 5-6 years and 6years and the volume weighted yield would be computedfor each bucket. These duration buckets may bechanged to reflect the market value more closely by anyagency suggested by AMFI giving benchmark yield/matrix of spreads over benchmark yield.

The benchmark as calculated above will be set atleastweekly, and in the event of any significant movement inprices of Government Securities on account of any eventimpacting interest rates on any day such as a change inthe Reserve Bank of India (RBI) policies affecting interestrates during the week, the benchmark will be reset toreflect any change in the market conditions.

Note : The concept of duration over tenor has been chosenin order to capture the reinvestment risk. It is intended togradually move towards a methodology that incorporatesthe continuous curve approach for valuation of suchsecurities. However, in view of the current lack of liquidityin the corporate bond markets, a continuous curveapproach to valuation would be necessarily based onlimited data points, and this would result in out of linevaluations. As an interim methodology therefore it isproposed that the Duration Bucket approach be adoptedand continuously tracked in order to fine tune the durationbuckets on a periodic basis. Over the next few years it isexpected that with the deepening of the secondary markettrading, it would be possible to make a gradual move fromthe Duration Bucket approach towards a continuous curveapproach.

B . Building a Matrix of Spreads for Marking-up the BenchmarkYield

Mark up for credit risk over the risk free benchmark YTM ascalculated in step A, will be determined using the trades ofcorporate debentures/bonds of different ratings. All trades onappropriate stock exchange during the fortnight prior to thebenchmark date will be used in building the corporate YTMand spread matrices. Initially these matrices will be built onlyfor corporate securities of investment grade. The matricesare dynamic and the spreads will be computed every week.The matrix will be built for all duration buckets for which thebenchmark GOI matrix is built to effectively link the corporatematrix with the GOI securities matrix. Accordingly:

All traded paper (with minimum traded value of Rs. 1crore) will be classified by their ratings and grouped into7 duration buckets; for rated securities, the mostconservative publicly available rating will be used;

For each rating category, average volume weighted yieldwill be obtained both from trades on the appropriate stockexchange and from the primary market issuances

Where there are no secondary trades on the appropriatestock exchange in a particular rating category and noprimary market issuances during the fortnight underconsideration, then trades on appropriate stockexchange during the 30 day period prior to the benchmarkdate will be considered for computing the average YTMfor such rating category;

If the matrix cannot be populated using any or all of theabove steps, then credit spreads from trades on

appropriate stock exchange of the relevant ratingcategory over the AAA trades will be used to populatethe matrix;

In each rating category, all outliers will be removed forsmoothening the YTM matrix;

Spreads will be obtained by deducting the YTM in eachduration category from the respective YTM of the GOIsecurities;

In the event of lack of trades in the secondary marketand the primary market the gaps in the matrix would befil led by extrapolation. If the spreads cannot beextrapolated for the reason of practicality, the gaps inthe matrix will be filled by carrying the spreads from thelast matrix.

C. Mark-up/Mark-down Yield

The Yields calculated would be marked-up/marked –down toaccount for the ill-liquidity risk, promoter background, financecompany risk and the issuer class risk. As the level of ill-liquidity risk would be higher for non rated securities themarking process for rated and non rated securities would bedifferentiated as follows

C(I) Adjustments for Securities rated by external ratingagencies

The Yields so derived out of the above methodologycould be adjusted to account for risk mentioned above.

A Discretionary discount/premium of upto +100 BasisPoints for securities having a duration of upto 2 yearsand upto +75 Basis Points for securities having durationhigher than 2 years will be permitted to be provided forthe above mentioned types of risks. The rationale for theabove discount structure is to take cognizance of thedifferential interest rate risk of the securities. Thisstructure will be reviewed periodically.

C (II) Adjustments for Internally Rated Securities

To value an un-rated security, the fund manager has toassign an internal credit rating, which will be used forvaluation. Since un-rated instruments tend to be moreilliquid than rated securities, the yields would be markedup by adding +50 over and above the mandatoryDiscount of +50 basis point for securities having aduration of upto two years and +50 over and above themandatory Discount of +25 basis point for securitieshaving duration of higher than two years to account forthe illiquidity risk.

Application of Benchmark yield for valuation on the date ofits release by any agency suggested by AMFI.The benchmark yield/matrix of spreads over benchmark yieldobtained from any agency suggested by AMFI as a provider ofbenchmark yield/matrix of spreads over benchmark yield to mutualfunds, must be applied for valuation of securities on the day onwhich the bench mark yield/matrix of spreads over benchmarkyield is released by the aforesaid agency.

Valuation of securities with Put/Call OptionsThe option embedded securities would be valued as follows:

Securities with call option :The securities with call option shall be valued at the lower of thevalue as obtained by valuing the security to final maturity andvaluing the security to call option.

In case there are multiple call options, the lowest value obtained byvaluing to the various call dates and valuing to the maturity date isto be taken as the value of the instrument.

TATA EQUITY MANAGEMENT FUND

Securities with Put option

The securities with put option shall be valued at the higher of thevalue as obtained by valuing the security to final maturity andvaluing the security to put option

In case there are multiple put options, the highest value obtainedby valuing to the various put dates and valuing to the maturity dateis to be taken as the value of the instruments.

Securities with both Put and Call option on the same day

The securities with both Put and Call option on the same day wouldbe deemed to mature on the Put/Call day and would be valuedaccordingly.

(ii) (c) Government securitiesThe scheme will use the prices for Government Securities releasedby an agency suggested by AMFI for the sake of uniformity incalculation of NAVs.

(iii) Liquid Securities(a) Aggregate value of “illiquid securities” of scheme, which are

defined as non-traded, thinly traded and unlisted equityshares, shall not exceed 15% of the total assets of the schemeand any illiquid securities held above 15% of the total assetsshall be assigned zero value.

Provided that in case any scheme has illiquid securities inexcess of 15% of total assets as on September 30, 2000 thensuch a scheme shall within a period of two years bring downthe ratio of illiquid securities within the prescribed limit of 15%in the following time frame:

(i) all the illiquid securities above 20% of total assets of thescheme shall be assigned zero value on September 30,2001.

(c) Mutual Funds shall not be allowed to transfer illiquid securitiesamong their schemes w.e.f. October 1, 2000.

(d) Where a scheme has illiquid securities as at September 30,2001 not exceeding 15% in the case of an open-ended fundand 20% in the case of closed ended fund, the concessionsof giving time period for reducing the illiquid security to theprescribed limits would not be applicable and at all time theexcess over 15% or 20% shall be assigned nil value.

Valuation of Money Market Instruments:

Investments in call money, bills purchased under rediscountingscheme and short term deposits with banks shall be valued atcost plus accrual; other money market instruments shall be valuedat the yield at which they are currently traded. For this purpose,non-traded instruments that is instruments not traded for a periodof seven days will be valued at cost plus interest accrued till thebeginning of the day plus the difference between the redemptionvalue and the cost spread uniformly over the remaining maturityperiod of the instruments.

Valuation of Derivative Product:1. The traded derivative shall be valued at market price in

conformity with the stipulations of sub clauses (I) to (V) ofclause 1 of the eighth Schedule to the Securities and Exchange

XVIII. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounts and Audit

TAML will keep and maintain the books of accounts, records anddocuments for the Scheme so as to explain its transactions and todisclose the financial position of the Scheme. The Trust shall arrangefor the financial statements of the Scheme to be audited as of every31st March and shall prepare an annual report and annual statementof account. The first such audit will be conducted and such annualreport prepared for the period ending March 31st, 2007. TheBoard shall have the financial statements for the Scheme auditedby such Chartered Accountant(s) as may be appointed for thatpurpose by the Trustee Company. S.B.Billimoria & Co. CharteredAccountants, have been appointed in such capacity.

Pursuant to Regulation 50 of the SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations,1996, the following accounting policies are applicable to the Scheme:

a) For the purposes of the financial statements, the Fund shallmark all investments to market and carry investments in thebalance sheet at market value. However, since the unrealisedgains arising out of appreciation on investments cannot bedistributed, provision shall be made for exclusion of this itemwhen arriving at distributable income.

b) In respect of all interest-bearing investments, income shallbe accrued on a day to day basis as it is earned. Thereforewhen such investments are purchased, interest paid for theperiod from the last interest due date upto the date of purchaseshall not be treated as a cost of purchase but shall be debitedto Interest Recoverable Account. Similarly, interest receivedat the time of sale for the period from the last interest due dateupto the date of sale shall not be treated as an addition to salevalue but shall be credited to Interest Recoverable Account.

c) In determining the holding cost of investments and the gainsor loss on sale of investments, the “average cost” methodshall be followed.

d) Transactions for purchase or sale of investments shall berecognised as of the trade date and not as of the settlementdate, so that the effect of all investments traded during afinancial year are recorded and reflected in the financialstatements for that year. Where investment transactions takeplace outside the Stock Market, for example, acquisitionsthrough private placement or purchases or sales throughprivate treaty, the transaction would be recorded, in the eventof a purchase, as of the date on which the Scheme obtainsany enforceable obligation to pay the price or, in the event ofa sale, when the Scheme obtains an enforceable right tocollect the proceeds of sale or an enforceable obligation todeliver the instruments sold.

e) Where income receivable on investments has been accruedand has not been received for a period of 3 months beyondthe due date, provision shall be made by debit to the revenueaccount for the income so accrued and no further accrual ofincome shall be made in respect of such investment.

f) When in the case of an open-ended Scheme (like the presentScheme) Units are sold, the difference between the sale priceand the face value of the Unit, if positive, shall be credited toreserves and if negative shall be debited to reserves, the facevalue being credited to Capital Account. Similarly, when inrespect of such a Scheme (like the present Scheme), Unitsare repurchased, the difference between the purchase priceand face value of the Units, if positive shall be debited toreserves and if negative, shall be credited to reserves, theface value being debited to the Capital Account.

g) In the case of an open-ended Scheme (like the presentScheme), when Units are sold an appropriate part of the saleproceeds shall be credited to an Equalisation Account andwhen Units are repurchased an appropriate amount shall bedebited to Equalisation Account. The net balance on thisaccount should be credited or debited to the Revenue Account.The balance on the Equalisation Account debited or creditedto the Revenue Account should not decrease or increase thenet income of the Fund but is only an adjustment todistributable surplus. It shall therefore be reflected in theRevenue Account only after the net income of the Fund isdetermined.

If part of such netconsideration is invested within the prescribed period in aresidential house, then such gains would not be chargeable to taxon a proportionate basis. For this purpose, net consideration meansfull value of the consideration received or accruing as a result of thetransfer of the capital asset as reduced by any expenditure incurredwholly and exclusively in connection with such transfer.

The following amounts would be deductible from the full value ofconsideration, to arrive at the amount of capital gains:

51

TATA EQUITY MANAGEMENT FUND

aggregate of tax and applicable surcharge, so calculated. In respectof long term capital gains on sale/redemption of units of any equityoriented mutual fund would be tax free in the hands of the NRI investorand therefore, the question of deducting any tax at source does notarise. In any case, even the table of rates specificallyexcludes long term capital gains exempt under section 10(38).Therefore, TAML or the Mutual Fund, as the case may be, need notdeduct any tax at source while remitting money to any NRI at thetime of redemption of units of any equity oriented mutual fund if thesame are held by the NRI for more than 12 months i.e if they arelong term capital assets in the hands of the NRI. In respect of thecapital gains arising to an NRI from the sale of units of non equityoriented funds (such as debt funds), the position has not changedas compared to the position prevailing before 1st October, 2004.Therefore, the short term capital gains arising from such units wouldcontinue to be taxed at par with normal income of the NRI. In suchcases, therefore, the Mutual Fund or the AMC would have to deducttax at source @ 30% (plus surcharge and education cess).Similarly, long term capital gains arising from such units would alsocontinue to be taxed @ 20% and therefore, the rate at which tax isto be deducted at source from such capital gains would also be 20%(plus surcharge and education cess).

Other Unitholders

Long-term capital gains in respect of Units, other than units of anequity oriented fund referred to above, held for a period of more thantwelve months, will be chargeable under Section 112 of the Act, atconcessional rate of tax, at the rate of 20%, as increased by theapplicable surcharge. An additional surcharge at the rate of 2%,called Education Cess, on the aggregate of tax and surcharge is tobe levied under the Finance Act. In case of resident Individuals andHindu Undivided Families, where taxable income, as reduced bylong-term capital gains, is below the basic exemption limit, thelong-term capital gains will be reduced to the extent of the shortfalland only the balance long term capital gains will be subjected to theflat rate of income tax (plus applicable surcharge and educationcess). However, where the tax payable on such long-term capitalgains, computed before indexation, exceeds 10%, as increased bythe applicable surcharge and additional surcharge, beingEducation Cess, as provided by the Finance Act, of the amount ofcapital gains, such excess tax shall not be payable by the unitholder.Short-term capital gains in respect of all Units, held for a period ofnot more than twelve months, will be aggregated with other incomeand taxed at rates of tax, including surcharge, applicable to normalincome. However Section 111A, provides that such gains, inrespect of equity oriented fund, will be taxable only at 10% asincreased by the applicable surcharges, if such gains arise after 1st

October, 2004, and the sale of unit has been chargeable to thesecurities transaction tax.
