objectives of the Scheme, the funds may be invested inshort term deposits with Scheduled Commercial Banks andmoney market instruments. The Scheme being debtoriented, shall invest a substantial portion ranging between65%-100% of the investible funds in debt instruments, forwhich there is no regular and established market. Whilelack of liquidity in the Indian debt markets remains a matterof concern, the fund shall try to tackle this by earmarking acertain portion of the investible funds for investment ingovernment securities and liquid, top rated corporate / PSUdebt. Apart from this, a portion of the fund shall be investedin extremely liquid money market investments. With thiscomposition, the Scheme shall be able to meet the normalrepurchase / redemption requirement. The focus of theScheme would be to generate regular returns on theportfolio, while maintaining low risk profile. While, generallythe investment policy will be “Buy and hold” due to the lowliquidity in the debt market, we may actively trade on debtinvestments as and when trading volumes improve.However, investments in corporate debt attracting highbrokerage and stamp duty, is unlikely to exceed 300% peryear. In case of dealings in PSU bonds and governmentsecurities and money market investments, the portfolioturnover may be substantially higher due to low transactioncosts and faster transfer of ownership. The portfolioturnover in corporate debt may, however, increase , oncethe trading volumes improve.The fund, in future, if regulations permit, may: 1. Invest indebt instruments issued by companies incorporatedoutside India but rated by reputed international credit ratingagencies as investment grade. 2. Securities issued byIndian corporates in foreign currency. In cases where therepurchase/ redemption requirements are large, theScheme may sell a part of debt instruments. The Schememay also resort to temporary borrowing within the limits laiddown by SEBIThe Investment Manager will keep in mind the InvestmentObjective of the respective Scheme and the applicableRegulations.Though every endeavour will be made toachieve the objective of the Scheme, the InvestmentManager/Sponsors/Trustee do not guarantee that theinvestment objective of the Scheme will be achieved. Noguaranteed returns are being offered under the Scheme.

• The Scheme is not a guaranteed or assured returnScheme.

Summary of Indicative Scheme-Specific Risks

Changes in the prevailing rates of interest are likely to affectthe value of the Scheme's holdings and consequently thevalue of the Scheme's Units. The Scheme may usederivative instruments like Interest Rate Swaps, ForwardRate Agreements or other derivative instruments for thepurpose of hedging and portfolio balancing and trading,as permitted under the Regulations and guidelines. Usageof derivatives will expose the Scheme to certain risksinherent to such derivatives. There is risk of capital loss.

General Risk Factors

• Mutual Funds and securities investments are subjectto market risks and there is no assurance or guaranteethat the objectives of the Scheme will be achieved.

• The main types of risks to which the Scheme areexposed are risk of capital loss, market risk, currencyrisk, liquidity risk, credit risk, counter party default risk,to name a few.

• As with any investment in securities, the NAV of theUnits issued under the Scheme can go up or downdepending on the factors and forces affecting thecapital markets.

• The NAV may be affected by factors such as marketconditions, level of interest rates, market-relatedfactors, trading volumes, settlement periods, transferprocedures, price/interest rate risk, credit risk,government policy, volatility and liquidity in markets,exchange rate, geo-political development, to name a

few.• Trading volumes in the securities in which the Scheme

may invest inherently restrict the liquidity of theScheme’s investments.

• Change in Government policy in general and changesin tax benefits applicable to mutual funds may impactthe returns to Investors in the Scheme.

• The tax benefits available under the Scheme are asavailable under the present taxation laws and subjectto relevant conditions. The information given isincluded for general purposes only and is based onadvice that the Investment Manager has receivedregarding the law and the practice that is now in forcein India.

• Unit holders should be aware that the relevant fiscalrules and their interpretation might change.

In view of the individual nature oftax consequences, each Investor/Unit holder isadvised to consult his/her own professional taxadvisor.

This is only an illustrative list and not an exhaustive list offactors that could affect the NAV of the Scheme. Investorsshould read the risk factors presented in this documentthough the list is no way exhaustive. Potential investorsshould rely solely on the information contained in thisScheme Information Document and are advised to consulttheir investment advisors before taking investmentdecisions.

Risk of Capital Loss

The Net Asset Value (NAV) of the Scheme is exposed tomarket fluctuations, and its value can go up as well asdown. Investors may lose their entire principal.

Risk Factors - Debt Markets

• Interest Rate Risk: Changes in the prevailing rates ofinterest may affect the value of the Scheme’s holdingsand consequently the value of the Scheme’s Units.Increased rates of interest, which frequently accompanyinflation and /or a growing economy, may have a

Sundaram Mutual Fundwww.sundarammutual.com 12

Sundaram Bond SaverPart I Risk Factors

Page 13: Sundaram Bond Saver€¦ · Sundaram Bond Saver An open-end income scheme This product is suitable for investors who are seeking* • Income over medium to long term • regular income

negative effect on the value of the Units. The value ofdebt securities held by the Scheme generally will varyinversely with the changes in prevailing interest rates. While it is the intent of the fund manager to investprimarily in high rated debt securities, the Scheme mayfrom time to time invest in higher yielding, low ratedsecurities. As a result, an investment in the Scheme maybe accompanied by a higher degree of risk relative toan investment consisting exclusively of high rated, loweryielding securities.

• Credit Risk: Credit Risk refers to the risk of failure ofinterest (coupon) payment and /or principal repayment.All debt instruments carry this risk. Governmentsecurities carry sovereign credit risk. The assets of theScheme may be partly invested in fixed incomesecurities issued by a corporate entity, bank, financialinstitution and/or a public sector undertaking owned bythe Government of India or by a government in any state.The credit risk associated with the aforementionedissuers of debt is higher than that of governmentsecurities.

• Price Risk: As long as the Scheme remains invested, itsNet Asset Value (NAV) would be exposed to marketfluctuations, and its value can go up as well as down.The portfolio of fixed-income securities that the Schemeinvests in would be exposed to price changes on a day-to-day basis.

• These price changes may occur due to instrument-specific factors as well as general macroeconomicconditions. In general, price of fixed-income securitiesgo up when interest rates fall, and vice versa.

• Market Risk: The Scheme may also be subject to pricevolatility due to such factors as interest sensitivity, marketperception or the creditworthiness of the issuer andgeneral market liquidity.

• Liquidity Risk: A lower level of liquidity affecting anindividual security (ies) or an entire market may have anadverse bearing on the value of the Scheme’s assets.This may more importantly affect its ability to sellparticular securities with minimal impact cost as andwhen necessary to meet requirement of liquidity or to sellstocks in response to triggers such as a specificeconomic/corporate event. Trading volumes, settlementperiods and transfer procedures may restrict the liquidityof a few of the investments.

• Risk relating to investment pattern: Different types ofsecurities in which the Scheme would invest as given inthe Scheme Information Document carry different levelsand types of risk. Accordingly the Scheme's risk may

increase or decrease depending upon its investmentpattern. e.g. corporate debt carry credit risk unlikeGovernment securities. Further even among corporatedebt, AAA rated debt is comparatively less risky (incredit risk terms) than those rated lower (say AA or A).

• Risks relating to duration: Fixed Income securities of anyissuer that has higher duration could be more risky interms of price movements relative to those with lowerduration. Thus any impact of interest rate changes wouldbe higher on securities with higher duration irrespectiveof the status of the issuer of the security.

• Limited Liquidity & Price Risk: Presently, secondarymarket for securitised papers is not very liquid. There isno assurance that a deep secondary market will developfor such securities. This could limit the ability of theinvestor to resell them. Even if a secondary marketdevelops and sales were to take place, these secondarytransactions may be at a discount to the initial issueprice due to changes in the interest rate structure.

• Limited Recourse, Delinquency and Credit Risk:Securitised transactions are normally backed by a poolof receivables and credit enhancement as stipulated bythe rating agency, which differ from issue to issue. TheCredit Enhancement stipulated represents a limited losscover to the Investors. These Certificates represent anundivided beneficial interest in the underlyingreceivables and there is no obligation of either the Issueror the Seller or the originator, or the parent or any affiliateof the Seller, Issuer and Originator. No financial recourseis available to the Certificate Holders against theInvestors’ Representative. Delinquencies and creditlosses may cause depletion of the amount availableunder the Credit Enhancement and thereby the InvestorPayouts may get affected if the amount available in theCredit Enhancement facility is not enough to cover theshortfall. On persistent default of an Obligor to repay hisobligation, the servicer may repossess and sell theunderlying Asset. However many factors may affect,delay or prevent the repossession of such Asset or thelength of time required to realize the sale proceeds onsuch sales. In addition, the price at which such Assetmay be sold may be lower than the amount due from thatObligor.

• Risks due to possible prepayments: Weighted Tenor /Yield: Asset securitisation is a process wherebycommercial or consumer credits are packaged and soldin the form of financial instruments Full prepayment ofunderlying loan contract may arise under any of thefollowing circumstances;

Sundaram Mutual Fundwww.sundarammutual.com 13

SOBNo.5

• Obligor pays the Receivable due from him at any timeprior to the scheduled maturity date of thatReceivable; or

• Receivable is required to be repurchased by theSeller consequent to its inability to rectify a materialmisrepresentation with respect to that Receivable; or

• The servicer recognizing a contract as a defaultedcontract and hence repossessing the underlyingAsset and selling the same.In the event of prepayments, investors may beexposed to changes in tenor and yield.

• Bankruptcy of the Originator or Seller: If originatorbecomes subject to bankruptcy proceedings and thecourt in the bankruptcy proceedings concludes that thesale from originator to Trust was not a sale then anInvestor could experience losses or delays in thepayments due. All possible care is generally taken instructuring the transaction so as to minimize the risk ofthe sale to Trust not being construed as a “True Sale”.Legal opinion is normally obtained to the effect that theassignment of Receivables to Trust in trust for and for thebenefit of the Investors, as envisaged herein, wouldconstitute a true sale.

• Bankruptcy of the Investor’s Agent: If the Investor’sagent, becomes subject to bankruptcy proceedings andthe court in the bankruptcy proceedings concludes thatthe recourse of Investor’s Agent to the assets /receivables is not in its capacity as agent / Trustee but inits personal capacity, then an Investor could experiencelosses or delays in the payments due under the swapagreement. All possible care is normally taken instructuring the transaction and drafting the underlyingdocuments so as to provide that the assets/receivablesif and when held by Investor’s Agent is held as agentand in Trust for the Investors and shall not form part ofthe personal assets of Investor’s Agent. Legal opinion isnormally obtained to the effect that the Investors Agent’srecourse to assets/ receivables is restricted in itscapacity as agent and trustee and not in its personalcapacity.

• Credit Rating of the Transaction / Certificate: The creditrating is not a recommendation to purchase, hold or sellthe Certificate in as much as the ratings do not commenton the market price of the Certificate or its suitability to aparticular investor. There is no assurance by the ratingagency either that the rating will remain at the same levelfor any given period of time or that the rating will not belowered or withdrawn entirely by the rating agency.

• Risk of Co-mingling: The servicer normally deposit all

payments received from the Obligors into the CollectionAccount. However, there could be a time gap betweencollection by a servicer and depositing the same into theCollection account especially considering that some ofthe collections may be in the form of cash. In this interimperiod, collections from the Loan Agreements may notbe segregated from other funds of the servicer. If theservicer fails to remit such funds due to Investors, theInvestors may be exposed to a potential loss. Due careis normally taken to ensure that the servicer enjoyshighest credit rating on stand alone basis to minimizeCo-mingling risk.

Risk Factors - Derivatives

• Counter Party Risk: This is the risk of default ofobligations by the counter party.

• Market risk: Derivatives carry the risk of adversechanges in the market price.

• Illiquidity risk: The risk that a derivative cannot be sold orpurchased quickly enough at a fair price, due to lack ofliquidity in the market.

• Basis Risk: the risk that the movements in swap ratesdoes not actually reflect the expected movement inbenchmark rates, thus, creating a mismatch with whatwas intended.

The guidelines issued by Reserve Bank of India from timeto time for forward rate agreements, interest rate swaps,futures and other derivative products would be adhered to.The Scheme may also use various derivative and hedgingproducts from time to time, as would be available andpermitted by SEBI/RBI, in an attempt to protect the value ofthe portfolio. As and when the Scheme trades in the derivatives marketthere are risk factors and issues concerning the use ofderivatives that investors should understand. Derivative products are specialised instruments that requireinvestment techniques and risk analysis. The use of aderivative requires an understanding not only of theunderlying instrument but also of the derivative itself.Derivatives require the maintenance of adequate controlsto monitor the transactions entered into, the ability toassess the risk that a derivative adds to the portfolio andthe ability to forecast price or interest rate movementscorrectly. There is the possibility that a loss may besustained by the portfolio as a result of the failure of anotherparty (usually referred to as the "counter party") to complywith the terms of the derivatives contract. Other risks inusing derivatives include the risk of mispricing or impropervaluation of derivatives and the inability of derivatives to

correlate perfectly with underlying assets, rates andindices. Thus, derivatives are highly leveraged instruments.Even a small price movement in the underlying instrumentcould have a large impact on their value. Also, the marketfor derivative instruments is nascent in India.The Scheme may use techniques such as interest rateswaps, options on interest rates, futures, warrants, forwardrate agreement and other derivative instruments that are /may be permitted under SEBI/RBI Regulation. Thesetechniques and instruments, if imperfectly used, have therisk of the Scheme incurring losses due to mismatches,particularly in a volatile market. The Scheme ability to usethese techniques may be limited by market conditions,regulatory limits and tax considerations (if any).Derivative products are leveraged instruments and canprovide disproportionate gains as well as disproportionatelosses to the investor. Execution of such strategiesdepends upon the ability of the fund manager to identifysuch opportunities. Identification and execution of thestrategies to be pursued by the fund manager involveuncertainty and decision of the fund manager may notalways be profitable. No assurance can be given that thefund manager will be able to identify or execute suchstrategies.The risks associated with the use of derivatives are differentfrom or possibly greater than, the risks associated withinvesting directly in securities and other traditionalinvestments.

Minimum Number of Investors & Single-Investor Limit

As per SEBI Regulations, the Scheme shall have aminimum of 20 investors and no single investor shallaccount for more than 25% of the corpus of the Scheme ineach calender quarter on an average basis. In case theScheme does not have a minimum of 20 investors in thestipulated period, the provisions of Regulation 39(2)(c) ofthe SEBI (MF) Regulation would become applicableautomatically without any reference from SEBI andaccordingly the Scheme shall be wound up and the unitswould be redeemed at applicable NAV. The two conditionsmentioned above shall also be complied within eachsubsequent calendar quarter thereafter, on an averagebasis, as specified by SEBI. If there is a breach of the 25%limit by any investor over the quarter, a rebalancing periodof one month would be allowed and thereafter the investorwho is in breach of the rule shall be given 15 days noticeto redeem his exposure over the 25% limit. Failure on thepart of the said investor to redeem his exposure over the25% limit within the aforesaid 15 days would lead to

automatic redemption by the Mutual Fund on the

applicable Net Asset Value on the 15th day of the notice

period. The Fund shall adhere to the requirements

prescribed by SEBI from time to time in this regard.

Brief note on fixed-income and money market in India

(i) Debt Instrument Characteristics:A Debt Instrument is basically an obligation which theborrower has to service periodically and generally has thefollowing features:Face Value: Stated value of the paper /Principal AmountCoupon: Zero, fixed or floatingFrequency: Semi-annual; annual, sometimes quarterlyMaturity: Bullet, staggeredRedemption: FV; premium or discountOptions: Call/PutIssue Price: Par (FV) or premium or discountA debt instrument comprises of a unique series of cashflows for each paper, terms of which are decided at thetime of issue. Discounting these cash flows to the presentvalue at various applicable discount rates (market rates)provides the market price.(ii) Types of Debt Market Instruments:The Indian Debt market comprises of the Money Marketand the Long Term Debt Market.Money market instruments are Commercial Papers (CPs),Certificates of Deposit (CDs), Treasury bills (T-bills), Repos,Inter-bank Call money deposit, CBLOs etc. They are mostlydiscounted instruments that are issued at a discount to facevalue.Money market instruments have a tenor of less than oneyear while debt market instruments typically have a tenor ofmore than one year.Long Term Debt market in India comprises mainly of twosegments viz., the Government securities market and thecorporate securities market.Government securities include central, state and localissues. The main instruments in this market are datedsecurities (Fixed or Floating) and Treasury bills (DiscountedPapers). The Central Government securities are generallyissued through auctions on the basis of ‘Uniform price’method or ‘Multiple price’ method while State Govt. arethrough on-tap sales.Corporate Debt segment on the other hand includesbonds/debentures issued by private corporates, public

sector units (PSUs) and development financial institutions(DFIs). The debentures are rated by a rating agency andbased on the feedback from the market, the issue is pricedaccordingly. The bonds issued may be fixed or floating.The floating rate debt market has emerged as an activemarket in the rising interest rate scenario. Benchmarksrange from Overnight rates or Treasury benchmarks.Debt derivatives market comprises mainly of Interest RateSwaps linked to Overnight benchmarks called MIBOR(Mumbai Inter Bank Offered Rate) and is an active market.Banks and corporate are major players here and of lateMutual Funds have also started hedging their exposuresthrough these products.The following table gives approximate yields prevailingduring the month of May 2013 on some of the instruments.These yields are indicative and do not indicate yields thatmay be obtained in future as interest rates keep changingconsequent to changes in macro economic conditions andRBI policyIssuer Instruments Maturity Yields (p.a)GOI Treasury Bill 91 days 7.50%GOI Treasury Bill 364 days 7.44%GOI Short Dated 1-3 Yrs 7.45% - 7.50%GOI Medium Dated 3-5 Yrs 7.45% - 7.50%GOI Long Dated 5-10 Yrs 7.49% - 7.69%Corporates Bonds (AAA) 1 - 3 years 8.84% - 8.90%Corporates Bonds (AAA) 3 - 5 years 8.85% - 8.90%Corporates CPs (A1+) 3 months - 1 yr 8.5% - 8.75%Banks CDs 3 months - 1 yr 8.1% - 8.45%Source: Bloomberg(iii) Regulators:The RBI operates both as the monetary authority and thedebt manager to the government. In its role as a monetaryauthority, the RBI participates in the market through open-market operations as well as through Liquidity AdjustmentFacility (LAF) to regulate the money supply. It also regulatesthe bank rate and repo rate, and uses these rates asindirect tools for its monetary policy. The RBI as the debtmanager issues the securities at the cheapest possiblerate. The SEBI regulates the debt instruments listed on thestock exchanges.

Page 20: Sundaram Bond Saver€¦ · Sundaram Bond Saver An open-end income scheme This product is suitable for investors who are seeking* • Income over medium to long term • regular income

Provident / pension funds, though present, are not activeplayers.

The Money Market

The money market can be classified into two broadcategoriesThe market for clean borrowing/lending without backingof any collateral: • Call Money: The market for overnightborrowing/lending.

• Notice Money: The market for borrowing/lending from2 days to a fortnight.

• Term Money: The market for borrowing/lending froma fortnight to six months.

The market for collateralised borrowing/lending:• Repo transactions: These are redemption-obligationtransactions in which the borrower tenders securitiesto the lender; these securities are bought back by theborrower on the redemption date. The price differencebetween the sale and redemption of the securities isthe implicit interest rate for the borrowing/lending. Theeligible underlying securities for these transactionsare government securities and treasury bills.Corporate bonds are not allowed as eligiblesecurities for repo transactions. The minimum repoterm (lending /borrowing period) is one day.

• CBLO: CBLO stands for Collateralized Borrowing andLending Obligation. CBLO is a discount instrumentintroduced by the Clearing Corporation of IndiaLimited (CCIL). They can be traded like any otherdiscount instrument. Lenders buy CBLOs andborrowers sell CBLOs. CCIL manages the risksinherent in issuing these securities through a systemof margins and deposits that it takes from both lendersand borrowers. CBLOs can be issued/bought/sold fora minimum of one day to a maximum of 364 days.

The Securities Market

The market for fixed-income securities can be broadlyclassified into• The market for money market (short-term) instruments:Money-market securities are generally discountsecurities maturing within one year from the date ofissuance. Instruments satisfying this criterion aretreasury bills (obligations of the government),commercial paper (obligations of the corporate sector)and certificate of deposit (obligations of banks).

• The market for Government Securities: Governmentsecurities are medium-/long-term Fixed IncomeSecurities of the government. The market for governmentsecurities is the most liquid segment of the fixed-incomemarket in India. Most of the secondary market trading isconcentrated in government securities. Trading ingovernment securities is now done mostly through an

electronic trading, reporting and settlement platformdeveloped by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) calledNegotiated Dealing System. The role of brokers, whichwas an important element of the Indian bond market, isnow less significant in this segment than in the past.

• The market for corporate bonds: Trading in corporatebonds is relatively subdued (in comparison togovernment securities). Price discovery and trading inthis segment are still through the telephone. Attempts atimproving the trading, settlement and risk-managementpractices for trading corporate bonds are currentlyunderway.

• The market for floating-rate securities: The coupon ratein floating-rate securities is linked to an acceptablebenchmark. Floating-rate securities generally have acoupon rate, which is reset over a regular perioddepending on the benchmark chosen. The marketwidely uses the MIBOR benchmarks announced byIndependent agencies such as NSE and Reuters. Whenbenchmark interest rate rises, the income generated onthese floating-rate securities may also rise. When thebenchmark interest rates decline, the income generatedon these floating-rate securities may decline.Increasingly more companies are raising resourcethrough floating-rate securities. Most of such securitiesare in the form of floating-rate debentures at a spreadover NSE MIBOR. The other popular benchmark is theIndian Government securities benchmark yield (knownas INBMK). The reset in such cases happen after aperiod of time, generally six months. The Governmentof India has also started issuing floating-rate securitiesusing INBMK 1 year as the benchmark.

The Fixed-Income Derivatives Market

The interest-rate derivatives market is at a developingstage in India. Instruments broadly transacted are • InterestRate Swaps • Interest Rate Futures and • Forward RateAgreements. • Interest Rate Swaps: This is an agreement between twoparties to exchange stated interest obligations for anagreed period in respect of a notional principal amount.The most common form is a fixed-to-floating-rate swapwhere one party receives a fixed (pre-determined) rateof interest while the other receives a floating (variable)rate of interest.

• Interest Rate Future (IRF): An interest rate futurescontract is "an agreement to buy or sell a debt instrumentat a specified future date at a price that is fixed today."Interest rate futures are derivative contracts which havea notional interest bearing security as the underlyinginstrument. The buyer of an interest rate futures contractagrees to take delivery of the underlying debtinstruments when the contract expires and the seller ofinterest rate futures agrees to deliver the debt

instrument. The fund can effectively use interest ratefutures to hedge from increase in interest rates.

• Forward Rate Agreement: This is basically a forward-starting interest-rate swap. It is an agreement betweentwo parties to pay or receive the difference between anagreed fixed rate (the FRA rate) and the interest rate(reference rate) prevailing on a stipulated future date,based on a notional principal amount for an agreedperiod. The only cash flow is the difference between theFRA rate and the reference rate. The notional amountsare not exchanged.

(v) Market Participants:Given the large size of the trades, the debt market hasremained predominantly a wholesale market.Primary DealersPrimary Dealers (PDs) act as underwriters in the primarymarket, and as market makers in the secondary market.BrokersBrokers bring together counterparties and negotiate termsof the trade.InvestorsBanks, Insurance Companies, Mutual Funds are importantplayers in the debt market. Other players are Trusts,Provident and pension funds.(vi) Trading Mechanism:Government Securities and Money Market InstrumentsNegotiated Dealing System (NDS) is an electronic platformfor facilitating dealing and online reporting of transactions.Government Securities (including T-bills), call money,notice/term money, repos in eligible securities, etc. areavailable for negotiated dealing through NDS. Currently G-Sec deals are done telephonically and reported on NDS.Corporate Debt is basically a phone driven market wheredeals are concluded verbally over recorded lines. Thereporting of trade is done on the NSE Wholesale DebtMarket segment.

E. Investment Strategy

Based on the interest rate view, the optimum duration of theportfolio is first determined. Then depending on thisdecision, the mix of G-Secs, corporate debt, money marketinstruments, and cash is arrived at. This mix tries to ensurethat returns are maximized while still protecting the liquidityof the portfolio. Within corporate debt, a further decision istaken: the weights of AAA (pronounced ‘triple A’) ratedinstruments and Sub-AAA rated instruments aredetermined. The Scheme may invest in fixed incomeinstruments of shorter or longer maturities, depending uponthe interest rate outlook. Purchase of debt may be madeeither through initial public offer, private placement, throughrights offerings, purchase on the floor of a recognised stockexchange or through negotiated deals on the secondarymarket. The Scheme may invest in the non-publicly offeredsecurities on the merits of the investment proposals. The

fund does not aim to concentrate investments in anyparticular industry. The investment shall be made acrossindustries, sector and promoter groups. The fund shallinvest in the instruments rated as investment grade orabove by a recognised rating agency. In case, theinstruments are not rated, specific approval of the Board ofDirectors of the Investment Manager or a committeeconstituted by the Board of Directors of Trustees shall beobtained. Pending deployment of funds in terms ofinvestment objectives of the Scheme, the funds may beinvested in short term deposits with Scheduled CommercialBanks and money market instruments. The Scheme beingdebt oriented, shall invest a substantial portion rangingbetween 65%-100% of the investible funds in debtinstruments, for which there is no regular and establishedmarket. While lack of liquidity in the Indian debt marketsremains a matter of concern, the fund shall try to tackle thisby earmarking a certain portion of the investible funds forinvestment in government securities and liquid, top ratedcorporate / PSU debt. Apart from this, a portion of the fundshall be invested in extremely liquid money marketinvestments. With this composition, the Scheme shall beable to meet the normal repurchase / redemptionrequirement. The focus of the Scheme would be togenerate regular returns on the portfolio, while maintaininglow risk profile. While, generally the investment policy willbe “Buy and hold” due to the low liquidity in the debtmarket, we may actively trade on debt investments as andwhen trading volumes improve. However, investments incorporate debt attracting high brokerage and stamp duty,is unlikely to exceed 300% per year. In case of dealings inPSU bonds and government securities and money marketinvestments, the portfolio turnover may be substantiallyhigher due to low transaction costs and faster transfer ofownership. The portfolio turnover in corporate debt may,however, increase , once the trading volumes improve.The fund, in future, if regulations permit, may: 1. Invest indebt instruments issued by companies incorporatedoutside India but rated by reputed international credit ratingagencies as investment grade. 2. Securities issued byIndian corporates in foreign currency. In cases where therepurchase/ redemption requirements are large, theScheme may sell a part of debt instruments. The Schememay also resort to temporary borrowing within the limits laiddown by SEBIThe Investment Manager will keep in mind the InvestmentObjective of the respective Scheme and the applicableRegulations.Though every endeavour will be made toachieve the objective of the Scheme, the InvestmentManager/Sponsors/Trustee do not guarantee that theinvestment objective of the Scheme will be achieved. Noguaranteed returns are being offered under the Scheme.Risk Profile

Portfolio turnover

Portfolio turnover is defined as the lower of the aggregatevalue of purchases or sales, as a percentage of theaverage corpus of the Scheme during a specified period oftime. This will exclude purchases and sales of moneymarket securities.The portfolio turnover in the Scheme will be a function ofthe inflows in the form of subscriptions into the Scheme andoutflows in the form of redemption as well as the marketopportunities available to the fund manager. Consequently,it is difficult to estimate with any reasonable measure ofaccuracy, the likely turnover in the portfolio(s). There maybe trading opportunities that present themselves from timeto time, where in the opinion of the fund manager, there isan opportunity to enhance the total returns of the portfolio.The fund manager will endeavour to balance the increasedcost on account of higher portfolio turnover, if any, withbenefits likely to be derived from such an approach.
