The AMC has the right to designate an additional Agency forobtaining the recommended list. The AMC may also changethe Advisor, if it deems fit.

The Research Methodology to be adopted by the Advisor forproviding the recommended list shall be reviewed by theboard of Directors of AMC and Trustees. The Boards of AMCand Trustees shall also review any change in the researchmethodology.

Kotak Securities will identify a universe of diversified equityschemes. This list will consist of schemes whose averageAUMs are higher than a pre defined limit. These schemes willbe analysed for making a recommended list.

Broadly, the following two parameters will be used todetermine the universe of diversified equity schemes andanalyse them.

a) Investment Style:Broadly, any equity scheme can be classified, as eitherdiversified or concentrated (eg., theme based, sector schemeetc.).

The diversified equity scheme is defined as a scheme, whichinvests or can invest (as per the Offer Document) acrosssectors. The Scheme proposes to invest its equity allocationin only diversified equity schemes.

b) Performance Analysis:This parameter is used for analysing such diversified equityschemes.

Performance Analysis of a scheme can be done in many ways.One way is comparing returns of schemes across differenttime frames. Another method would be to analyse the degreeof risks taken by different schemes to produce returns. Thisis essentially a return risk analysis.

The “Risk Return Analysis” method has been adopted inregards to this scheme.

Returns of a scheme are computed for a fixed time period.Say, weekly returns are computed over a one-year period. Allof these returns are then compared against a benchmark. Inour case, the benchmark is usually the market expectation ofreturns from equity investments arrived at by polling clients.Out performance or under performance of these returns overa benchmark and the frequency of this out / under performanceis calculated. This exercise is carried out for all the schemesin contention.

Risk is computed based on the degree of underperformanceof a scheme to a benchmark and frequency of all its underperformance compared to the benchmark.

This return to risk ratio gives the excess returns potential ofa particular scheme vis-à-vis a benchmark and can be usedas a measure of performance consistency. This analysis iscarried out for all schemes in contention.

The Advisor will recommend the schemes and allocateinvestments across categories of schemes, based on its outlook

On the underlying portfolio of such schemes. Advisor’srecommendations will also be guided by the service standards,Load structure, overall corpus size etc.

The Scheme may invest in liquid/ short term/ floating rateschemes / plans of the Mutual Fund, whose equity schemeis recommended based on the above Methodology.

Pending deployment of the Funds of the Scheme in accordancewith the Investment Objective, the Scheme may invest inshort term deposits of Scheduled Commercial Banks, subjectto the regulations.

5. The Risk Profile and Investment PatternThe asset allocation under the Scheme, under normalcircumstances, will be as follows:

Investments Indicative RiskProfile Allocation*

Diversified Equity 0% to 90% MediumSchemes / Plans to High

Liquid/ Short Term / 10% to 100% LowFloating RateSchemes / Plans

Money Market 0% to 10% LowSecurities**

* The asset allocation between equity and liquid / shortterm / floating rate schemes / plans will be guided bytrends in equity markets. If the equity market goes up,the scheme will normally increase its portfolio allocationto equity schemes. However, keeping in mind the needto minimise risk on the investment and outstandingmaturity of the scheme, there might be times when thescheme may not increase investment in equity schemesin an equity market, which is moving up. If the equitymarket goes down, the scheme will normally decreaseits portfolio allocation to equity schemes.

** The Fund Manager will invest in Money Market Securities,as per the prevailing Regulation from time to time, onlyfor the purpose of liquidity requirements.

Traded and non- traded Government Securities shall be valuedas per the prices for Government Securities released by anagency suggested by AMFI for the sake of uniformity incalculation of NAVs across all mutual funds. Accordingly,traded and non-traded government securities are valued atprices obtained from The Credit Rating Information Servicesof India Limited

Where instruments have been bought on ‘repo’ basis, theinstrument shall be valued at the resale price after deductionof applicable interest up to the date of resale. Where aninstrument has been sold on a ‘repo’ basis, adjustment shallbe made for the difference between the repurchase price(after deduction of applicable interest up to the date ofrepurchase) and the value of the instrument. If the repurchaseprice exceeds the value, the depreciation shall be provided forand if the repurchase price is lower than the value, credit shallbe taken for the appreciation.

The valuation guidelines as outlined above are as perthe Regulations prevailing at present and are subject tochange from time to time, in conformity with changesmade by SEBI.

All other guidelines, not covered above and as specifiedin the Mutual Fund Regulations, as well as any additions/modifications thereto as may be specified by SEBI fromtime to time, shall be adhered to for the purpose ofvaluation

c) Recording of Securities and Units in the booksAny change in the portfolio of securities and in the numberof Units held shall be recorded in the books not later thanthe first valuation date following the date of transaction. If

this is not possible given the frequency of the Net Asset Valuedisclosure, the recording may be delayed up to a period ofseven days following the date of the transaction, providedthat as a result of the non-recording, the Net Asset Valuecalculations shall not be affected by more than 1%. In casethe Net Asset Value is affected by more than 1% due to suchnon-recording of transactions, the investors or the Scheme,as the case may be shall be paid the difference in the mannerprovided in the Regulations.

d) Calculation of NAVNAV of Units under the Scheme or Options thereunder canbe calculated as shown below:

Market or Current assets Current LiabilitiesFair Value + including – and provisions

of Scheme's Accrued including accruedinvestments Income expenses NAV =

No. of Units outstanding under the Scheme / Option

The NAV and the sale and repurchase prices of the Units willbe calculated and announced at the close of each WorkingDay. Computation of NAV will be done after taking intoaccount dividends declared, if any, and the distribution taxthereon, if applicable. Therefore, once dividends are declaredunder the Dividend Option, the NAV of the Units under theDividend Option would always remain lower than the NAVof the Units issued under the Growth Option.

The income earned and the profits realized in respect of theUnits issued under the Growth Option remain invested andare reflected in the NAV of the Units.

Units purchased by cheque may not be redeemed until afterrealisation of the cheque.A Unitholder has the option to request for redemption eitherin amount in Rupees or in number of Units. If the redemptionrequest indicates both amount in Rupees and number ofUnits, the latter will be considered as being requested. Wherea Rupee amount is specified or deemed to be specified forredemption, the number of Units redeemed will be computedas the amount redeemed divided by the Redemption Price.Alternatively, a Unitholder can request closure of his account,in which case, the entire Unit balance lying to the credit ofhis account will be redeemed.The Fund reserves the right to redeem the entire amount lyingto the credit of the Unitholder’s account in that Scheme/Option if the Redemption request amount exceeds the balancelying to the credit of the Unitholder’s said account.The number of Units redeemed is subtracted from theUnitholder’s account and a statement to this effect is issuedto the Unitholder.If an investor has purchased Units on more than one WorkingDay, the Units purchased prior in time (i.e. those Units whichhave been held for the longest period of time), will be deemedto have been redeemed first, i.e. on a First In First Out Basisexcept when the Unitholder specifically requests redemptionof Units purchased on specific date(s).1. Redemption PriceThe Redemption Price per unit is calculated as follows.

Redemption Price = Applicable NAV$ x (1 - Exit Load)*– Proportionate Unamortised InitialIssue expenses (till the redemptiondate)

Eg: If Applicable NAV = Rs. 10/-;

Exit Load = 1%;Proportionate Unamortised

Initial Issue Expenses = Rs. 0.150, then

Redemption Price = 10 x (1-1%) – 0.150= Rs. 9.75/-$ For Applicable NAV, please refer paragraph ‘Applicable

NAV’ mentioned elsewhere in this Offer Document.* For Exit Load, please refer paragraph ‘Load Structure of

the Scheme’ mentioned elsewhere in this OfferDocument.

The Redemption Price for every Working Day will be publishedatleast in two daily newspapers.The Redemption Price, however, will not be lower than 95%of the Applicable NAV minus the proportionate unamortizedInitial Issue Expenses till the redemption date (during theliquidity window), if any.

where the payment for the purchase of the Units soldwas made out of funds held in NRO account, or

(b) remitted abroad or at the NRI investor’s option, creditedto his NRE/FCNR/NRO account, where the Units werepurchased on repatriation basis and the payment forpurchase of the Units sold was made by inward remittancethrough normal banking channels or out of the fundsheld in NRE/FCNR account.

In case of an FII, the designated branch of an authoriseddealer may allow remittance of net redemption proceeds(after payment of taxes) or the same may be credited to itsNon Resident Rupee Account or the Foreign Currency Account.6. Effect of Redemptionsa) On the FundAfter every redemption, the Unit capital and Reserves of theScheme stand reduced by an amount equivalent to the productof the number of Units redeemed and the Applicable NAVas on the date of redemption, duly adjusted for proportionateunamortized balance of initial issue expenses till the date ofredemption. Units once repurchased can be re-issued duringthe liquidity window at applicable NAV to existing unit holdersof the scheme, as it may deem necessary

b) On the Unitholder’s accountThe balances in the Unitholder’s account stand reduced bythe number of Units redeemed. The following table illustratesa typical redemption case, assuming the initial issue expensesof 2% of the subscribed amount which is amortised till thematurity of the scheme, i.e., for a period of three years fromthe allotment date.

Particulars Amount

Unit initial issue Expenses A Rs. 0.20(Rs. 10.000 X 2%)

No. of days, in which the initial issue expenses is to be amortised B 1096

Daily Unit initial issue expenses amortisation C = A / B Rs. 0.20 /1096 days

Assuming, the investments are redeemed by the investor D 274 days(during the liquidity window) on 274th day from the allotment date

The initial issue expenses amortised till the redemption date E=A x D/B Rs. 0.050(Rs. 0.20 x 274 / 1096)

Unamortised Unit initial issue expenses, which will be recovered F = A-E Rs. 0.150from the investor redeeming the units (0.20 - 0.050)

Thus, the total Unit initial issue expenses borne by :- Investor who redeems the units during the liquidity window G = E + F Rs. 0.20

(0.050 + 0.150)Amortised + Unamortised

- Investor who gets the proceeds at the time of H = A Rs. 0.20maturity of the scheme (amortised)

Thus, it is clear from the above table, that the Unit initial issue expenses which is amortised are being completely borne bythe respective investors only.
