The size of investment will be upto Rs25crores. The Fund will seek to invest primarily into unlisted companies with: • First generation entrepreneurs in businesses catering to the spaces of tomorrow • Predominantly knowledge driven as against capital intensive and • Where the business is at an inflexion point – we believe the opportune time to invest in a company can come as early as angel

investment or as late as listed investment

The minimum commitment amount is Rs. 1 crore which can be drawdown by the Fund Manager over the Commitment Period by giving a 15 calendar days„ notice to the Contributors. There is no upper limit to the amount one can invest, subject to the Fund having a minimum of 2 contributors.

FAQs

Qs: How much money should a contributor invest? The contributor should take suitable advice from his / her financial advisor before committing a portion of their investments into the Fund depending on individual risk appetite, surplus funds available and need for funds in the medium term. Qs: What will be my investment period? The term of the Fund is 7 years from the date of Initial Closing of the Fund. Initial closing refers to the date on which the Fund Manager decides to accept the capital commitment / capital contribution paid by the contributors, issues units in lieu of it and the investment manager will start making investments.

The term of the Fund can be extended by 2 additional one year periods by the Trustee subject to the approval of contributors representing 66.67% of the total capital commitment of the Fund. Qs: What is a commitment period? When will I have to pay the entire money committed? Commitment period is the time period in which the Fund Manager can call for draw down of the money committed by you in the Fund. The commitment period will be up to 36 months from the initial closing date.

On signing the contribution agreement, the contributor will have to pay 15% of its commitment amount. Subsequent drawdowns will be called for by the Fund Manager as and when they are ready to make investments during the commitment period. The Fund Managers will provide 15 calendar days„ notice for such subsequent drawdowns. .

(Amount in Rs) Year 1 Year 2 Year 3

Cumulative AUM 20 50 100

Our Management fees @ 2% of AUM 0.4 1.0 2.0

General industry practise @ 2% of CA 2.0 2.0 2.0

Qs: What are the fees to be paid by the contributors ? Fund fees varies as per Class. The investors (holders of Class A1 and A2 units) will pay a Fund management fee of 2% per annum (plus service tax or equivalent levy) payable quarterly based on average Assets Under Management (AUM) as prescribed under the Contribution Agreement as against the general industry practise of charging management fees on the commitment amount till the commitment period. AUM includes mark-ups either due to part exit of any investment by the Fund, or a new benchmark value for the investment based on a Third-party transaction.

** In the general industry practise almost 10% of your initial drawn down amount is utilized towards fees.

Qs: When will I get my money back? As and when the Fund Manager exits the investments of the Fund, the monies from such exits will be returned back to the contributor over the life of the Fund. If there are exits made by the Fund Manager during the commitment period, the Fund Manager reserves the right to reinvest that amount in other investment opportunities. In the event, there are certain investments which could not be exited during the life of the Fund either due to adverse economic or capital market conditions or such companies are going through a difficult phase, the Fund Manager may choose to request an extension to the Fund life as mentioned above. In the case 66.67% of the contributors by commitment amount do not agree for such extension, the Fund Manager will liquidate all the investments on a best effort basis. Considering the investments will be primarily made in unlisted companies including early stage investments, there may be instances the Fund Manager is not able to exit certain investments despite its best efforts. In such cases, the Fund Manager will return the securities valued in proportion of the contribution of contributors into the Fund at the end of the Fund life. Qs: How much money will I get back / what returns will the Fund generate? There is no assurance provided by the Fund Manager to the protection of capital or guarantee of returns. The Fund presentation and other Fund documents provide details of the past experience of the Fund management team, investment thesis etc. The investments will be made primarily in unlisted companies including early stage investments. Typically these investments are characterized as “high risk” by the financial advisors. In general high risk investments are also associated with higher returns. You are advised to evaluate the strength of the investment team, product idea, risk disclosure under PPM and seek investment advice from your financial advisor before making your investment decision in this Fund. .

FAQs

Qs: What happens if I am unable to honour my commitment / What happens if I default? In the event any contributor does not contribute to any draw down notice within the time period mentioned in the notice which shall not be less than 15 calendar days, the Fund Manager will provide written notices to the contributor of this failure and interest will accrue on such overdue amount from drawdown date until the date of payments at 1.5% per month for the actual number of days elapsed. If the default continues for a period of 30 days from the delivery of such notices, the Trustee in its absolute discretion and in consultation with the Fund Manager declare such contributor as an defaulting contributor . Such contributor will be subject to default remedies including but not limited to forfeiture of all or portion of its interests in the Fund, or suspension of voting rights or freezing of its commitment amount in the Fund etc. Qs: What if I need the money back and I cannot wait for the entire Fund life? / Is there an emergency withdrawal facility? Since the product by its very nature is illiquid, we strongly advise you to commit only such monies to the Fund which are surplus to you in the medium to long term. It will be difficult to liquidate units of an contributor in the interim. We can however facilitate sale / transfer of the units if such contributor finds a buyer for his/her units. Such transfer will be subject to the buyer being legally and financially capable (as determined by the Fund Manager) of honouring the transferor„s obligations, satisfying KYC requirements and executing deed of adherence accepting the terms and conditions of the Fund agreements. The Fund Manager on a best effort basis will allow contributors to withdraw upto 10% of their capital contribution, subject to terms, conditions and approvals detailed in the contribution agreement .

FAQs

Qs: What is the tax treatment for my investment? Tax will be paid on behalf of the investors by the Fund as a representative assesse either under the PAN of trust or in the PAN of the individual beneficiaries, as advised by the tax advisors. Generally, investments shall be classified as long term or short term depending on the period for which they are held prior to transfer. Investments in shares or any instrument (listed on a recognized stock exchange) shall be long term if held for 12 months or more; in other cases (including unlisted debentures) the threshold is 36 months • Long term capital gains tax: Unlisted securities will attract a rate of 20% (with indexation), except for listed equity shares where STT is

paid will be 0%. In case of listed equity shares (if sale transaction is off market) and other listed securities, tax rate of 20% (with indexation) will apply

• Short term capital gains tax: Unlisted securities will attract a tax rate of 30%. Listed equity shares where STT is paid will attract a rate of 15%

The above rates shall be increased by applicable surcharge and education cess, and are based on current tax rates. However, recently on July 28, 2014, Central Board of Direct Taxes (‘CBDT„) has issued a circular clarifying tax treatment of Alternative Investment Funds (AIF). As per the Circular, an AIF (set-up as a trust) wherein names of the investors or their beneficial interest are not known at the time of creation of trust (i.e. date on which trust deed is executed), is required to discharge taxes at Maximum Marginal Rate (MMR) u/s 164(1) of ITA. This is for information purpose only. Please take advice from your tax consultant before investment. Qs: How will I know the performance of my investment / companies in which the Fund has invested? The Fund Manager will provide you with six monthly newsletters detailing the investment portfolio and progress of portfolio companies. NAV of the Fund will be made available to you on a quarterly basis and Audited financial Statement of Fund on yearly basis. A valuation exercise of the portfolio from an independent valuer of repute appointed by the Fund Manager will be conducted on an periodic basis.
