Investment in Mutual Fund Units involves investmentrisks such as trading volumes, settlement risk, liquidityrisk, default risk including the possible loss of principal.

As the price / value / interest rates of the securities inwhich the scheme invests fluctuates, the value of yourinvestment in the scheme may go up or down. The valueof investments may be affected, inter-alia, by changesin the market, interest rates, changes in credit rating,trading volumes, settlement periods and transferprocedures; the NAV is also exposed to Price/Interest-Rate Risk and Credit Risk and may be affected inter-alia,by government policy, volatility and liquidity in themoney markets and pressure on the exchange rate ofthe rupee

Past performance of the Sponsor/AMC/Mutual Funddoes not guarantee future performance of the scheme.

The name of the scheme does not in any manner indicateeither the quality of the scheme or its future prospectsand returns.

The sponsor is not responsible or liable for any lossresulting from the operation of the scheme beyond theinitial contribution of Rs.2,50,000 made by it towardssetting up the Fund.

The present scheme is not a guaranteed or assuredreturn scheme.

a) The portfolio of Kotak FMP 370 days Series 1, willcomprise of securities issued by central and stategovernment as also debt & money market instrumentsissued by corporates as mentioned under the paragraph'How will the Scheme allocate its assets'. All suchsecurities will normally mature on or before maturity ofthe scheme. As the securities are normally held tomaturity, the interest rate risk is significantly mitigated.The debt securities issued by the corporates do carry acredit risk as also the liquidity risk.

b) The Schemes will invest entirely in Debt/ Money MarketInstruments and Government securities. Liquidity inthese investments may be affected by trading volumes,settlement periods and transfer procedures. Thesefactors may also affect the Scheme's ability to makeintended purchases/sales, cause potential losses to theScheme and result in the Scheme missing certaininvestment opportunities.

c) Different types of securities in which the scheme wouldinvest as given in the SID carry different levels and typesof risk. Accordingly the scheme's risk may increase ordecrease depending upon its investment pattern. E.g.corporate bonds carry higher amount of risk thangovernment securities. Further, even among corporatebonds, bonds, which are AAA rated, are comparativelyless risky than bonds, which are AA rated.

d) The market price of Kotak FMP 370 days Series 1, likeany other listed security, is largely dependent on twofactors, viz., (1) the intrinsic value of the unit (or NAV),and (2) demand and supply of units in the market.Sizeable demand or supply of the units in Exchange

may lead to market price of the units to quote atpremium or discount to NAV. Hence the price of theunits is likely to hold significant variance (large premiumor discount) from the latest declared NAV all the time.

The Schemes may from time to time invest in domesticsecuritised debt, for instance, in asset backed securities(ABS) or mortgage backed securities (MBS). Typically,investments in securitised debt carry credit risk (wherecredit losses in the underlying pool exceed creditenhancement provided, (if any) and the reinvestmentrisk (which is higher as compared to the normal corporateor sovereign debt). The underlying assets in securitiseddebt are receivables arising from automobile loans,personal loans, loans against consumer durables, loansbacked by mortgage of residential / commercialproperties, underlying single loans etc.

ABS/MBS instruments reflect the proportionate undividedbeneficial interest in the pool of loans and do not representthe obligation of the issuer of ABS/MBS or the originator ofthe underlying receivables. Investments in securitised debtis largely guided by following factors :

Attractive yields i.e. where securitised papers offer betteryields as compared to the other debt papers and alsoconsidering the risk profile of the securitised papers.

Diversification of the portfolio

Better performance

Broadly following types of loans are securitised:

a )a )a )a )a ) Au to Loan sAu to Loan sAu to Loan sAu to Loan sAu to Loan s

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. i.e. if a particularautomobile model does not become popular, loans givenfor financing that model have a much higher likelihood ofturning bad. In such cases, loss on sale of repossessionvehicles is higher than usual.

Commercial vehicle loans are susceptible to the cyclicality inthe economy. In a downturn in economy, freight rates dropleading to higher defaults in commercial vehicle loans.Further, the second hand prices of these vehicles also declinein such economic environment.

b )b )b )b )b ) Hous ing LoansHous ing LoansHous ing LoansHous ing LoansHous ing 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 housing loansis yet to be tested and it need not conform to the historicalexperience of low default rates.

The underlying security for such loans is easilytransferable without the bank's knowledge and hencerepossession is difficult.

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

d )d )d )d )d ) Persona l LoansPersona l LoansPersona l LoansPersona l LoansPersona l Loans

These are unsecured loans. In case of a default, the bankhas no security to fall back on. The lender has no controlover how the borrower has used the 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 differentloans using the same income proof and thus the incomeis not sufficient to meet the debt service obligations ofall these loans.

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

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

e )e )e )e )e ) S ingle Loan PTCSingle Loan PTCSingle Loan PTCSingle Loan PTCSingle Loan PTC

A single loan PTC is a securitization transaction in which aloan given by an originator (Bank/ NBFC/ FI etc.) to a singleentity (obligor) is converted into pass through certificatesand sold to investors. The transaction involves theassignment of the loan and the underlying receivables bythe originator to a trust, which funds the purchase by issuingPTCs to investors at the discounted value of the receivables.The PTCs are rated by a rating agency, which is based on thefinancial strength of the obligor alone, as the PTCs have norecourse to the originator.

The advantage of a single loan PTC is that the ratingrepresents the credit risk of a single entity (the obligor) andis hence easy to understand and track over the tenure of thePTC. The primary risk is that of all securitized instruments,which are not traded as often in the secondary market andhence carry an illiquidity risk. The structure involves anassignment of the loan by the originator to the trustee whothen has no interest in monitoring the credit quality of theoriginator. The originator that is most often a bank is in thebest position to monitor the credit quality of the originator.The investor then has to rely on an external rating agency tomonitor the PTC. Since the AMC relies on the documentationprovided by the originator, there is a risk to the extent of theunderlying documentation between the seller andunderlying borrower.

Investments in Financial Instruments are faced with thefollowing kinds of risks.

Risks associated with Debt / Money Markets (i.e. Markets inwhich Interest bearing Securities or Discounted Instrumentsare traded)

a )a )a )a )a ) Credi t R isk:Credi t R isk:Credi t R isk:Credi t R isk:Credi t R isk:

Securities carry a Credit risk of repayment of principal orinterest by the borrower. This risk depends on micro-economic factors such as financial soundness and ability ofthe borrower as also macro-economic factors such asIndustry performance, Competition from Imports,Competitiveness of Exports, Input costs, Trade barriers,Favourability of Foreign Currency conversion rates, etc.

Credit risks of most issuers of Debt securities are rated byIndependent and professionally run rating agencies. Ratingsof Credit issued by these agencies typically range from

"AAA" (read as "Triple A" denoting "Highest Safety") to"D" (denoting "Default"), with about 6 distinct ratingsbetween the two extremes.

The highest credit rating (i.e. lowest credit risk) commands alow yield for the borrower. Conversely, the lowest creditrated borrower can raise funds at a relatively higher cost. Onaccount of a higher credit risk for lower rated borrowerslenders prefer higher rated instruments further justifyingthe lower yields.

From the perspective of coupon rates, Debt securities can beclassified in two categories, i.e., Fixed Income bearingSecurities and Floating Rate Securities. In Fixed IncomeBearing Securities, the Coupon rate is determined at thetime of investment and paid/received at the predeterminedfrequency. In the Floating Rate Securities, on the other hand,the coupon rate changes - 'floats' - with the underlyingbenchmark rate, e.g., MIBOR, 1 yr. Treasury Bill.

Fixed Income Securities (such as Government Securities,bonds, debentures and money market instruments) where afixed return is offered, run price-risk. Generally, when interestrates rise, prices of fixed income securities fall and wheninterest rates drop, the prices increase. The extent of fall orrise in the prices is a function of the existing coupon, thepayment-frequency of such coupon, days to maturity andthe increase or decrease in the level of interest rates. Theprices of Government Securities (existing and new) will beinfluenced only by movement in interest rates in the financialsystem. Whereas, in the case of corporate or institutionalfixed income securities, such as bonds or debentures, pricesare influenced not only by the change in interest rates butalso by credit rating of the security and liquidity thereof.

Floating rate securities issued by a government (coupon linkedto treasury bill benchmark or a real return inflation linkedbond) have the least sensitivity to interest rate movements, ascompared to other securities. The Government of India hasalready issued a few such securities and the InvestmentManager believes that such securities may become availablein future as well. These securities can play an important rolein minimizing interest rate risk on a portfolio.

The corporate debt market is relatively illiquid vis-a- vis thegovernment securities market. There could therefore bedifficulties in exiting from corporate bonds in times ofuncertainties. Liquidity in a scheme therefore may suffer. Eventhough the Government Securities market is more liquidcompared to that of other debt instruments, on occasions,there could be difficulties in transacting in the market due toextreme volatility or unusual constriction in market volumesor on occasions when an unusually large transaction has tobe put through. In view of this, redemption may be limited orsuspended after approval from the Boards of Directors of theAMC and the Trustee, under certain circumstances asdescribed in the Statement of Additional Information (SAI).

Derivative products are leveraged instruments and canprovide disproportionate gains as well as disproportionatelosses to the investor. Execution of such strategies dependsupon the ability of the fund manager to identify suchopportunities. Identification and execution of the strategiesto be pursued by the fund manager involve uncertainty anddecision of fund manager may not always be profitable. Noassurance can be given that the fund manager will be ableto identify or execute such strategies.

The Indian Debt Market has grown in size substantially overthe years. The Reserve Bank of India has been taking stepsto make the Indian Debt Market efficient and vibrant. Broadly,the debt market is divided in two parts viz. the Money Marketand the Debt market. Money market instruments have atenor of less than one year while debt market instrumentshave a tenor of more than one year. Money marketinstruments are typically commercial paper, certificates ofdeposit, treasury bills, trade bills, repos, interbank call depositreceipts etc. Debt market comprises typically of securitiesissued by Governments (Central and State), Banks, FinancialInstitutions, and Companies in the private and public sector,Corporations, Statutory Bodies etc.

The debt securities are mainly traded over the telephonedirectly or through brokers. The National Stock Exchange ofIndia has a separate trading platform called the WholesaleDebt Market segment where trades put through memberbrokers are reported.

RBI has introduced the Negotiated Dealing System (NDS)platform for screen-based trading in Government Securitiesand Money Market instruments. Most of the marketparticipants are now operating through NDS.

Promoted by major banks and financial institutions, TheClearing Corporation of India Ltd. (CCIL), was incorporatedon April 30, 2001. The CCIL guarantees the settlement ofall trades executed through NDS. The clearing and settlementrisks viz., Counter party Credit Risk and Operational Risk aremitigated by CCIL thereby facilitating a smooth settlementprocess.

The following table gives approximate yields prevailing ason September 23, 2009 on some of the money and debtmarket instruments. These yields are indicative and do notindicate yields that may be obtained in future as interestrates keep changing.

The securities/debt instruments mentioned above could belisted or unlisted, secured or unsecured, rated or unratedand of varying maturities and other terms of issue. Thesecurities may be acquired through Initial Public Offerings(IPOs), secondary market operations, private placement, rightsoffer or negotiated deals. The Schemes may also enter intorepurchase and reverse repurchase obligations in allsecurities held by it as per guidelines/regulations applicableto such transactions.

Interest Rate Swap ( IRS)Interest Rate Swap ( IRS)Interest Rate Swap ( IRS)Interest Rate Swap ( IRS)Interest Rate Swap ( IRS)

IRS is a widely used derivative product in the financial marketsto manage interest rate risk. A typical transaction is a contractto exchange streams of interest rate obligation/income on anotional principle amount with a counter party, usually abank. The two interest streams are, fixed rate on one sideand floating rate on the other.

Example: Suppose the Fund holds a fixed rate bond ofmaturity 5 years carrying a fixed interest rate (coupon) of6% p.a. payable half yearly. Such an investment runs the riskof depreciation if interest rates rise. To manage this risk, theFund can enter into an IRS with another market participant,here the Fund contracts to pay fixed rate, say 6.75% p.a.,and receive a floating rate (say overnight MIBOR). Thistransaction is done for a notional principal amount equal tothe value of the investment. By such a contract a fixed rateincome is offset by a fixed rate payment obligation leavingonly a floating rate income stream. Thus, without actuallyinvesting in a floating rate asset, the Fund starts earning afloating rate income, reducing the risk of depreciationassociated with the fixed rate investment. Following tablesummarises the cash flow streams:

Original investment 6% p.a.Pay (Fixed rate) 5.25% p.a. (IRS)Receive (Floating rate) MIBORNet Flow MIBOR + 0.75% p.a. (*)* (6% p.a. - 5.25 % p.a.)

The floating rate reference is defined in the swap agreement.The above example illustrates a case of fixed to floating rateswap. A swap could be done to move from floating rate tofixed rate in a similar fashion.

Please note that the above example is hypothetical in natureand the interest rates are assumed. The actual return mayvary based on actual and depends on the interest rateprevailing at the time the swap agreement is entered into.

For the purpose of achieving the investment objective, theScheme will invest in a portfolio of Debt and Money Marketsecurities only maturing on or before maturity profile of theScheme.

The AMC has an internal policy for selection of assets of theportfolio. The portfolio is constructed taking into accountratings from different rating agencies, rating migration,credit premium over the price of a sovereign security, generaleconomic conditions and such other criteria. Such an internalpolicy from time to time lays down maximum/minimumexposure for different ratings, norms for investing in unratedpaper, liquidity norms, and so on. Through such norms, theScheme is expected to maintain a high quality portfolio andmanage credit risk well.

Investment in unrated debt securities will be made with theprior approval of the Board of the AMC. Such investmentswould be within the parameters approved by the Board ofthe Trustee. Where the proposed investment is not within

the parameters as mentioned above, approval of the Boardsof both the AMC and the Trustee will be taken before makingthe investment. Investment in unrated debt securities willbe made subject to prescribed SEBI Regulations.

Investments may be made in instruments, which, in theopinion of the Fund Manager, are of an acceptable creditrisk and chance of default is minimum. The Fund Managerwill generally be guided by, but not restrained by, the ratingsannounced by various rating agencies on the assets in theportfolio.

The internal systems have all the SEBI limits incorporated.This ensures that all limits are tracked at the entry stageitself. The system has the capability to alert certain dealsthat require special attention in case they are beyond certainprescribed parameters. The deals then cannot proceed furtherwithout the approval of of the appropriate authority. Thuschecks is in place to ensure no breach of limit occurs.
