Tracking Error
The extent to which the NAV of the scheme moves in a manner inconsistent with the movements of the
total returns of the Nifty Alpha 50 Index on any given day or over any given period of time arising from
any cause or reason whatsoever including but not limited to differences in the weightage of the investments
in the securities and the weightage to such securities in the Nifty Alpha 50 Index and the time lags in
deployment or realization of funds under the Scheme as compared to the movement of or within the Nifty
Alpha 50 Index as well as the market liquidity, cost of trading, management and other expenses.
Tracking errors may result from a variety of factors including but not limited to:
▪ Any delay experienced in the purchase or sale of shares due to illiquidity of the market, settlement and
realization of sale proceeds and / or the registration of any securities transferred and / or any delays in
receiving cash Income Distribution cum capital withdrawal and resulting delays in reinvesting them.

may buy or sell the securities at different points of time during the trading session at the then prevailing
prices which may not correspond to the closing prices on the NSE.

from time to time may exclude existing securities or include new ones. In such an event, the Fund will
endeavour to reallocate its portfolio but the available investment/ disinvestment opportunities may not
permit precise mirroring of the Nifty Alpha 50 Index in a short period of time.
▪ The charging of expenses to the Fund including investment management fees and custodian fees.
▪ The potential for trades to fail which may result in the Scheme not having acquired shares at a price
necessary to track the index.
▪ The holding of a cash position and accrued income prior to distribution and accrued expenses.
▪ Disinvestments to meet redemptions, recurring expenses, Income Distribution cum capital withdrawal
payouts etc.

Spot Index : 6000 Future Price : 6150
Say, Date of Expiry : March 24, 2021 Say, Margin : 20%
Assuming the exchange imposes total margin of 20%, the Investment Manager will be required to provide
total margin of approx. Rs. 6.15 Cr (i.e.20% * 6150 * 1000 * 50) through eligible securities and cash.
Date of Expiry:
Assuming on the date of expiry, i.e. March 24, 2021, Nifty 50 Index closes at 6200, the net impact will be a
profit of Rs 25,00,000 for the fund i.e. (6200–6150)*1000*50
Futures price = Closing spot price = 6200.00
Profits for the Fund = (6200–6150)*1000*50 = Rs. 25,00,000/-
Please note that the above example is given for illustration purposes only. Some assumptions have been
made for the sake of simplicity.
The net impact for the Fund will be in terms of the difference of the closing price of the index and cost price.
Thus, it is clear from the example that the profit or loss for the Fund will be the difference of the closing
price (which can be higher or lower than the purchase price) and the purchase price. The risks associated
with index futures are similar to those associated with equity investments. Additional risks could be on
account of illiquidity and potential mis–pricing of the futures.
Basic Structure of an Equity Option:
An option gives a buyer the right but does not cast the obligation to buy or sell the underlying. An option is
a contract between two parties wherein the buyer receives a privilege for which he pays a fee (premium) and
the seller accepts an obligation for which he receives a fee. The premium is the price negotiated and set when
the option is bought or sold. A person who buys an option is said to be long in the option. A person who
sells (or writes) an option is said to be short in the option.
In India, National Stock Exchange (NSE) became the first exchange to launch trading in options on
individual securities. Trading in options on individual securities commenced from July 2, 2001. All
stock/index Option contracts are European style and cash settled and are currently available on 5 Indices and
223 securities as stipulated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
Example using hypothetical figures on Index Options:
Market type : N
Instrument Type : OPTIDX Underlying : Nifty 50
Purchase date : February 24, 2021
Expiry date : March 24, 2021
Option Type : Put Option (Purchased) Strike Price : Rs. 6,100.00
Spot Price : Rs. 6,136.00 Premium : Rs. 84.00
Lot Size : 50
No. of Contracts : 100
Say, the Fund purchases on February 24, 2021, 1 month Put Options on Nifty 50 on the NSE i.e. put options
on 5000 shares (100 contracts of 50 shares each) of Nifty 50.
Date of Exercise:
As these are European style options, they can be exercised only on the expiry date i.e. March 24, 2021.
If the share price of Nifty 50 falls to Rs.5,500 on expiry day, the net impact will be as follows:
Premium expense = Rs.84*100* 50 =Rs. 4,20,000/- Option Exercised at = Rs. 5,500/-
Profits for the Fund = (6100.00–5,500.00) * 100*50 = Rs. 30,00,000/- Net Profit = Rs. 30,00,000 – Rs.
4,20,000 = Rs. 25,80,000/-
In the above example, the Investment Manager hedged the market risk on 5,000 shares of Nifty 50 Index
by purchasing Put Options.
Please note that the above example is given for illustration purposes only. Some assumptions have
been
made for the sake of simplicity. Certain factors like margins have been ignored. The purchase of Put
Options does not increase the market risk in the fund as the risk is already in the fund's portfolio on
account of the underlying asset position. The premium paid for the option is treated as an expense.
Additional risks could be on account of illiquidity and potential mis–pricing of the options.-
PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
Portfolio turnover in the scheme will be a function of market opportunities. It is difficult to estimate with
any reasonable measure of accuracy, the likely turnover in the portfolio. The AMC will endeavor to
optimize portfolio turnover to optimize risk adjusted return keeping in mind the cost associated with it. A
high portfolio turnover rate is not necessarily a drag on portfolio performance and may be representative
of investment opportunities that exist in the market.
Portfolio Turnover ratio of the scheme for the period June 01, 2023 to May 31, 2024 is 1.18*.
*Portfolio Turnover Ratio is calculated as lower of purchase or sale during the period / Average AUM
for the last one year (Includes Fixed Income securities and Equity derivatives).
DEBT MARKET & MONEY MARKET IN INDIA
The Indian debt markets are one of the largest such markets in Asia. Government and Public Sector
enterprises are predominant borrowers in the market. While interest rates were regulated till a few years
back, there has been a rapid deregulation and currently both the lending and deposit rates are market
determined.
The debt markets are developing fast, with the rapid introduction of new instruments including Foreign
Portfolio Investors are also allowed to invest in Indian debt markets now. There has been a considerable
increase in the trading volumes in the market. The trading volumes are largely concentrated in the
Government of India Securities, which contribute a significant proportion of the daily trades.
The money markets in India essentially consist of the call money market (i.e. market for overnight and
term money between banks and institutions), repo transactions (temporary sale with an agreement to buy
back the securities at a future date at a specified price), commercial papers (CPs, short term unsecured
promissory notes, generally issued by corporates), certificate of deposits (CDs, issued by banks) and
Treasury Bills & Cash Management Bills (issued by RBI). In a predominantly institutional market, the
key money market players are banks, financial institutions, insurance companies, mutual funds, primary
dealers and corporates.
Following table exhibits various debt instruments along with indicative yields as on 21st June, 2024:

The actual yields will, however, vary in line with general levels of interest rates and debt/money market
conditions prevailing from time to time.
The mutual fund or AMC and its empanelled brokers have not given and shall not give any indicative
portfolio and indicative yield in any communication, in any manner whatsoever. Investors are advised
not to rely on any communication regarding indicative yield/ portfolio with regard to the scheme.

PART III- OTHER DETAILS
A. COMPUTATION OF NAV
The NAV of the Units of the Scheme will be computed by dividing the net assets of the Scheme by the
number of Units outstanding on the valuation date. The Fund shall value its investments according to
the valuation norms, as specified in Schedule VIII of the Regulations, or such norms as may be
prescribed by SEBI from time to time.
All expenses and incomes accrued up to the valuation date shall be considered for computation of NAV.
For this purpose, major expenses like management fees and other periodic expenses would be accrued
on a day to day basis. The minor expenses and income will be accrued on a periodic basis, provided the
non-daily accrual does not affect the NAV calculations by more than 1%.
Any changes in securities and in the number of units be recorded in the books not later than the first
valuation date following the date of transaction. If this is not possible given the frequency of the Net
Asset Value disclosure, the recording may be delayed upto a period of seven days following the date of
the transaction, provided that as a result of the non-recording, the Net Asset Value calculations shall not
be affected by more than 1%.
In case the Net Asset Value of a scheme differs by more than 1%, due to non - recording of the
transactions, the investors or scheme/s as the case may be, shall be paid the difference in amount as
follows:-
(i) If the investors are allotted units at a price higher than Net Asset Value or are given a price lower
than Net Asset Value at the time of sale of their units, they shall be paid the difference in amount
by the scheme.
(ii) If the investors are charged lower Net Asset Value at the time of purchase of their units or are
given higher Net Asset Value at the time of sale of their units, asset management company shall
pay the difference in amount to the scheme.
The asset management company may recover the difference from the investors.
NAV of units under the Scheme shall be calculated as shown below:
NAV (Rs.) =
Market or Fair Value of + Current Assets - Current Liabilities and Provisions
Scheme's investments including Accrued including accrued expenses
Income
__________________________________________________________________________
No. of Units outstanding under Scheme
During the continuous offer of the scheme, the units will be available at the applicable NAV based
prices. This is the price that an investor will pay for purchase / switch in.
Ongoing price for redemption (sale) /switch outs (to other schemes/plans of the Mutual Fund) by
investors:
At the applicable NAV subjects to prevailing exit load. This is the price you will receive for
redemptions/switch outs.
The NAV of the Scheme will be calculated upto four decimal places and will be declared on each
business day. The valuation of the Scheme’s assets and calculation of the Scheme’s NAV shall be
subject to audit on an annual basis and shall be subject to such regulations as may be prescribed by
SEBI from time to time.
The Fund will also calculate intra-day indicative NAV (computed based on snapshot prices received
from BSE) and will be updated during the market hours on the website of the Mutual Fund
(www.bandhanmutual.com) with a delay of approximately 15 seconds. Intra-day indicative NAV will
not have any bearing on the creation or redemption of units directly with the Fund by the Authorized
Participants /Large Investors.
Illustration:
Computation of NAV - Assume that the Market or Fair Value of Scheme’s investments is Rs.
1,00,00,000; Current asset of the scheme is Rs. 25,00,000; Current Liabilities and Provisions is Rs.
15,00,000 and the No. of Units outstanding under the scheme are 5,00,000. Thus, the NAV will be
calculated as:
10000000 + 2500000 − 1500000
ℕAV = = 22.000
500000
Therefore, the NAV of the scheme is Rs. 22.000
Computation of Repurchase Price - If the applicable NAV is Rs. 10, exit load is 2% then redemption
price will be: Rs. 10* (1-0.02) = Rs. 9.80
The Redemption Price will not be lower than 95% of the NAV.
For details on policies related to computation of NAV, rounding off, investment in foreign securities,
procedure in case of delay in disclosure of NAV, please refer SAI.
Any changes in securities and in the number of units be recorded in the books not later than the first
valuation date following the date of transaction. If this is not possible given the frequency of the Net
Asset Value disclosure, the recording may be delayed upto a period of seven days following the date of
the transaction, provided that as a result of the non-recording, the Net Asset Value calculations shall not
be affected by more than 1%.
In case the Net Asset Value of a scheme differs by more than 1%, due to non - recording of the
transactions, the investors or scheme/s as the case may be, shall be paid the difference in amount as
follows:-
(i) If the investors are allotted units at a price higher than Net Asset Value or are given a price lower
than Net Asset Value at the time of sale of their units, they shall be paid the difference in amount
by the scheme.
(ii) If the investors are charged lower Net Asset Value at the time of purchase of their units or are given
higher Net Asset Value at the time of sale of their units, asset management company shall pay the
difference in amount to the scheme.
The asset management company may recover the difference from the investors.
NAV of units under the Scheme shall be calculated as shown below:
NAV (Rs.) =
Market or Fair Value of + Current Assets - Current Liabilities and Provisions
Scheme's investments including Accrued including accrued expenses
Income
______________________________________________________________________
No. of Units outstanding under Scheme
The NAV of the Scheme will be calculated upto four decimal places and will be declared on each
business day. The valuation of the Scheme’s assets and calculation of the Scheme’s NAV shall be
subject to audit on an annual basis and shall be subject to such regulations as may be prescribed by
SEBI from time to time.
NAV of the Scheme shall be made available on the website of AMFI (www.amfiindia.com) and the
Mutual Fund (www.Bandhanmutual.com) by 11.00 p.m. on all business days. The NAV shall also be
available on the Toll Free Number -1800-300-66688/1-800-2666688 -and on the website of the
Registrar and Transfer Agent CAMS (www.camsonline.com).
In case the NAV is not uploaded by 11.00 p.m it shall be explained in writing to AMFI for non adherence
of time limit for uploading NAV on AMFI’s website. If the NAVs are not available before the
commencement of business hours on the following day due to any reason, the Mutual Fund shall issue
a press release giving reasons and explaining when the Mutual Fund would be able to publish the NAV.
Delay in disclosure of NAV etc. refer to SAI
During the continuous offer of the scheme, the units will be available at the applicable NAV based
prices. This is the price that an investor will pay for purchase / switch in.
Ongoing price for redemption (sale) /switch outs (to other schemes/plans of the Mutual Fund) by

At the applicable NAV subjects to prevailing exit load. This is the price you will receive for
redemptions/switch outs.
Example: If the applicable NAV is Rs. 10, exit load is 2% then redemption price will be: Rs. 10* (1-
0.02) = Rs. 9.80
The Redemption Price will not be lower than 95% of the NAV.

B. Risk factors
Scheme specific risk factors
• The Scheme attempts to track the respective indices and it would invest in the securities included in
its Underlying indices regardless of their investment merit. The Scheme may be affected by a general
decline in the Indian markets.
• Performance of the Nifty Alpha 50 Index will have a direct bearing on the performance of the scheme.
In the event the Nifty Alpha 50 Index is dissolved or is withdrawn by NSE Indices Limited (NSEIL) or
is not published due to any reason whatsoever, the Trustee reserves the right to modify the respective
scheme so as track a different and suitable index or to suspend tracking the Nifty Alpha 50 Index till
such time it is dissolved / withdrawn or not published and appropriate intimation will be sent to the
Unit holders of the scheme. In such a case, the investment pattern will be modified suitably to match
the composition of the securities that are included in the new index to be tracked and the scheme will
be subject to tracking errors during the intervening period.
• Tracking errors are inherent in any index fund and such errors may cause the scheme to generate returns
which are not in line with the performance of the Nifty Alpha 50 Index or one or more securities covered
by / included in the Nifty Alpha 50 Index and may arise from a variety of factors including but not
limited to, any delay in the purchase or sale of shares due to illiquidity in the market, settlement and
realisation of sales proceeds, delay in credit of securities or in receipt and consequent reinvestment of
Income Distribution cum capital withdrawal, etc.
• The Indices reflect the prices of securities at a point in time, which is the price at close of business day
on National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE). The scheme however, may trade these securities
at different points in time during the trading session and therefore the prices at which the scheme trade
may not be identical to the closing price of each scrip on that day on the NSE. In addition, the scheme
may opt to trade the same securities on different exchanges due to price or liquidity factors, which may
also result in traded prices being at variance, from NSE closing prices.
• NSEIL undertakes periodic reviews of the securities that are represented in the Nifty Alpha 50 Index
and from time to time may exclude existing securities or include new ones. In such an event, the scheme
will endeavor to reallocate its portfolio to mirror the changes. However, the reallocation process may
not occur instantaneously and permit precise mirroring of the Nifty Alpha 50 Index during this period.
• The potential of trades to fail may result in the scheme not having acquired the security at the price
necessary to mirror the index.
• Transaction and other expenses, such as but not limited to brokerage, custody, trustee and investment
management fees.
• Being an open-ended scheme, the scheme may hold appropriate levels of cash or cash equivalents to
meet ongoing redemptions. The scheme may not be able to acquire or sell the desired number of
securities due to conditions prevailing in the securities market, such as, but not restricted to: circuit
filters in the securities, liquidity and volatility in security prices.
• Due to the reasons mentioned above and other reasons that may arise, it is expected that the scheme
may have a tracking error in the range of 2-3% per annum from the Benchmark. However, it needs to
be clearly understood that the actual tracking error can be higher or lower than the range given.
• In case of investments in derivatives like index futures, the risk reward would be the same as
investments in portfolio of shares representing an index. However, there may be a cost attached to
buying an index future. Further, there could be an element of settlement risk, which could be different
from the risk in settling physical shares and there is a risk attached to the liquidity and the depth of the
index futures market as it is relatively new market.
• Price-Risk or Interest-Rate Risk: Fixed income securities such as bonds, debentures and money
market instruments run price-risk or interest-rate risk. Generally, when interest rates rise, prices of
existing fixed income securities fall and when interest rates drop, such prices increase. The extent of
fall or rise in the prices is a function of the existing coupon, days to maturity and the increase or
decrease in the level of interest rates.
• Credit Risk: In simple terms this risk means that the issuer of a debenture/bond or a money market
instrument may default on interest payment or even in paying back the principal amount on maturity.
Even where no default occurs, the price of a security may go down because the credit rating of an
issuer goes down. It must, however, be noted that where the Scheme(s) has invested in Government
Securities, there is no credit risk to that extent. Different types of securities in which the scheme(s)
would invest as given in the scheme information document carry different levels and types of risk.
Accordingly, the scheme’s risk may increase or decrease depending upon its investment pattern. E.g.
corporate bonds carry a higher amount of risk than Government securities. Further even among
corporate bonds, bonds which are AAA rated are comparatively less risky than bonds which are AA
rated.
• Re-investment Risk: Investments in fixed income securities may carry re-investment risk as interest
rates prevailing on the interest or maturity due dates may differ from the original coupon of the bond.
Consequently, the proceeds may get invested at a lower rate.
• Basis Risk (Interest - rate movement): During the life of a floating rate security or a swap, the
underlying benchmark index may become less active and may not capture the actual movement in
interest rates or at times the benchmark may cease to exist. These types of events may result in loss of
value in the portfolio.
• Spread Risk: In a floating rate security the coupon is expressed in terms of a spread or mark up over
the benchmark rate. However, depending upon the market conditions, the spreads may move adversely
or favorably leading to fluctuation in the NAV.
• Liquidity Risk: Due to the evolving nature of the floating rate market, there may be an increased risk
of liquidity risk in the portfolio from time to time.
• Other Risk: In case of downward movement of interest rates, floating rate debt instruments will give
a lower return than fixed rate debt instruments.
Risk Associated with Investing in Equities
a. Investments in the equity shares of the Companies constituting the Underlying Index are subject to
price fluctuation on daily basis. The volatility in the value of equity is due to various micro and macro-
economic factors like economic and political developments, changes in interest rates, etc. affecting the
securities markets. This may have adverse impact on individual securities/sector and consequently on
the NAV of Scheme.
b. The Scheme would invest in the securities comprising the Underlying Index in the same proportion as
the securities have in the Index. Hence, the risk associated with the corresponding Underlying Index
would be applicable to the Scheme. The Underlying Index has its own criteria and policy for
inclusion/exclusion of securities from the Index, its maintenance thereof and effecting corporate
actions. The Fund would invest in the securities of the Index regardless of investment merit, research,
without taking a view of the market and without adopting any defensive measures. The Fund would
not select securities in which it wants to invest but is guided by the Underlying Index. As such the
Scheme is not actively managed but is passively managed.
c. Risks of Total Return Dividends are assumed to be reinvested into the Nifty Alpha 50 TRI after the ex-
dividend date of the constituents. However, in practice, the dividend is received with a lag. This can
lead to some tracking error.
Market Risk
The Scheme’s NAV will react to stock market movements. The value of investments in the scheme may go
down over a short or long period due to fluctuations in Scheme’s NAV in response to factors such as
performance of companies whose stock comprises the underlying portfolio, economic and political
developments, changes is government policies, changes in interest rates, inflation and other monetary
factors causing movement in prices of underlining investments.
Concentration risk
This is the risk arising from over exposure to few securities/issuers/sectors.
Passive Investments
The Scheme is not actively managed. Since the Scheme is linked to index, it may be affected by a general
decline in the Indian markets relating to its underlying index. The Scheme as per its investment objective
invests in Securities which are constituents of its underlying index regardless of their investment merit. The
AMC does not attempt to individually select stocks or to take defensive positions in declining markets.
Right to Limit Redemptions
The Trustee, in the general interest of the unit holders of the Scheme offered under this SID and keeping in
view of the unforeseen circumstances/unusual market conditions, may limit the total number of Units which
can be redeemed on any Business Day subject to the guidelines/circulars issued by the Regulatory
Authorities from time to time.
Risk Factors relating to Portfolio Rebalancing
In the event that the asset allocation of the Scheme deviates from the ranges as provided in the asset
allocation table in this SID, then the Fund Manager will rebalance the portfolio of the Scheme to the position
indicated in the asset allocation table.
Risk Associated with Index Fund
The Scheme being an index scheme follows a passive investment technique and shall only invest in
Securities comprising one selected index as per investment objective of the Scheme. The Fund Manager
would invest in the Securities comprising the underlying index irrespective of the market conditions. If the
Securities market declines, the value of the investment held by the Scheme shall decrease.
Risks associated with Debt / Money Markets
a) Credit Risk: Securities carry a Credit risk of repayment of principal or interest by the borrower. This
risk depends on micro-economic factors such as financial soundness and ability of the borrower as also
macroeconomic factors such as Industry performance, Competition from Imports, Competitiveness of
Exports, Input costs, Trade barriers, Favorability of Foreign Currency conversion rates, etc. Credit risks
of most issuers of Debt securities are rated by Independent and professionally run rating agencies.
Ratings of Credit issued by these agencies typically range from "AAA" (read as "Triple A" denoting
"Highest Safety") to "D" (denoting "Default"), with about 6 distinct ratings between the two extremes.
The highest credit rating (i.e. lowest credit risk) commands a low yield for the borrower. Conversely,
the lowest credit rated borrower can raise funds at a relatively higher cost. On account of a higher credit
risk for lower rated borrowers’ lenders prefer higher rated instruments further justifying the lower
yields.
b) Price-Risk or Interest-Rate Risk: From the perspective of coupon rates, Debt securities can be
classified in two categories, i.e., Fixed Income bearing Securities and Floating Rate Securities. In Fixed
Income Bearing Securities, the Coupon rate is determined at the time of investment and paid/received
at the predetermined frequency. In the Floating Rate Securities, on the other hand, the coupon rate
changes - 'floats' - with the underlying benchmark rate, e.g., MIBOR, 1 yr. Treasury Bill. Fixed Income
Securities (such as Government Securities, bonds, debentures and money market instruments) where a
fixed return is offered, run price-risk. Generally, when interest rates rise, prices of fixed income
securities fall and when interest rates drop, the prices increase. The extent of fall or rise in the prices is
a function of the existing coupon, the payment-frequency of such coupon, days to maturity and the
increase or decrease in the level of interest rates. The prices of Government Securities (existing and
new) will be influenced only by movement in interest rates in the financial system. Whereas, in the case
of corporate or institutional fixed income securities, such as bonds or debentures, prices are influenced
not only by the change in interest rates but also by credit rating of the security and liquidity thereof.
However, debt securities in the scheme are intended to be held till 13 maturity. For such securities held
till maturity, there will not be any interest rate risk at the end of the tenure. Floating rate securities issued
by a government (coupon linked to treasury bill benchmark or a real return inflation linked bond) have
the least sensitivity to interest rate movements, as compared to other securities. The Government of
India has already issued a few such securities and the Investment Manager believes that such securities
may become available in future as well. These securities can play an important role in minimizing
interest rate risk on a portfolio.
Risk of Rating Migration: The following table illustrates the impact of change of rating (credit worthiness)
on the price of a hypothetical AA rated security with a maturity period of 3 years, a coupon of 10.00%
p.a. and a market value of Rs. 100. If it is downgraded to A category, which commands a market yield of,
say, 11.00% p.a., its market value would drop to Rs. 97.53 (i.e. 2.47%) If the security is up-graded to AAA
category which commands a market yield of, say, 9.00% p.a. its market value would increase to Rs102.51
(i.e. by 2.51%). The figures shown in the table are only indicative and are intended to demonstrate how the
price of a security can be affected by change in credit rating. Rating Yield (% p.a.) Market Value (Rs.) AA
10.00 100.00 If upgraded to AAA 9.00 102.51 If downgraded to A 11.00 97.53.
c) Basis Risk: During the life of floating rate security or a swap the underlying benchmark index may
become less active and may not capture the actual movement in the interest rates or at times the
benchmark may cease to exist. These types of events may result in loss of value in the portfolio. Where
swaps are used to hedge an underlying fixed income security, basis risk could arise when the fixed
income yield curve moves differently from that of the swap benchmark curve.
d) Spread Risk: In a floating rate security the coupon is expressed in terms of a spread or mark up over
the benchmark rate. However, depending upon the market conditions the spreads may move adversely
or favourably leading to fluctuation in NAV.
e) Reinvestment Risk: Investments in fixed income securities may carry reinvestment risk as interest
rates prevailing on the interest or maturity due dates may differ from the original coupon of the bond.
Consequently, the proceeds may get invested at a lower rate.
f) Liquidity Risk: The corporate debt market is relatively illiquid vis-a- vis the government securities
market. There could therefore be difficulties in exiting from corporate bonds in times of uncertainties.
Liquidity in a scheme therefore may suffer. Even though the Government Securities market is more
liquid compared to that of other debt instruments, on occasions, there could be difficulties in transacting
in the market due to extreme volatility or unusual constriction in market volumes or on occasions when
an unusually large transaction has to be put through. In view of this, redemption may be limited or
suspended after approval from the Boards of Directors of the AMC and the Trustee.
g) Risk envisaged and mitigation measures for repo transactions: Credit risks could arise if the
counterparty does not return the security as contracted or interest received by the counter party on due
date. This risk is largely mitigated, as the choice of counterparties is largely restricted and their credit
rating is taken into account before entering into such transactions. Also operational risks are lower as
such trades are settled on a DVP basis. In the event of the scheme being unable to pay back the money
to the counterparty as contracted, the counter party may dispose of the assets (as they have sufficient
margin) and the net proceeds may be refunded to us. Thus, the scheme may in remote cases suffer losses.
This risk is normally mitigated by better cash flow planning to take care of such repayments.
Risk factors with investing in Derivatives
Derivative products are leveraged instruments and can provide disproportionate gains as well as
disproportionate losses to the investor. Execution of such strategies depends upon the ability of the fund
manager to identify such opportunities. Identification and execution of the strategies to be pursued by the
fund manager involve uncertainty and decision of fund manager may not always be profitable. No assurance
can be given that the fund manager will be able to identify or execute such strategies. The risks associated
with the use of derivatives are different from or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing
directly in securities and other traditional investments. As and when the Scheme trade in the derivatives
market there are risk factors and issues concerning the use of derivatives that investors should understand.
Derivative products are specialized instruments that require investment techniques and risk analyses different
from those associated with stocks and bonds. The use of a derivative requires an understanding not only of the
underlying instrument but of the derivative itself. Derivatives require the maintenance of adequate controls
to monitor the transactions entered into, the ability to assess the risk that a derivative adds to the portfolio
and the ability to forecast price or interest rate movements correctly. There is the possibility that a loss may
be sustained by the portfolio as a result of the failure of another party (usually referred to as the “counter
party”) to comply with the terms of the derivatives contract.
The specific risk factors arising out of a derivative strategy used by the Fund Manager may be as below:
Lack of opportunity available in the market;
The risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the inability of derivatives to correlate perfectly
with underlying assets, rates and indices.
Other risks in using derivatives include the risk of mispricing or improper valuation of derivatives and the
inability of derivatives to correlate perfectly with underlying assets, rates and indices.
Tracking Error Risk:
The Fund Manager would not be able to invest the entire corpus exactly in the same proportion as in the
underlying index due to certain factors such as the fees and expenses of the scheme, corporate actions, cash
balance, changes to the underlying index, non-availability of issuances, regulatory policies and any such
reasons that may affect AMC’s ability to achieve close correlation with the underlying index of the scheme.
The scheme’s returns may therefore deviate from those of its underlying index. “Tracking Difference” is the
difference of return between the fund and its respective benchmark. “Tracking Error” is defined as the
standard deviation of the difference between daily returns of the underlying index and the NAV of the
respective scheme. Tracking difference /Tracking Error may arise including but not limited to the following
reasons: -
h) Expenditure incurred by the fund.
i) The holding of a cash position and accrued income prior to distribution of income and payment of
accrued expenses. The fund may not be invested at all time as it may keep a portion of the funds in
cash to meet redemptions or for corporate actions.
j) Securities trading may halt temporarily due to circuit filters.
k) Corporate actions such as debenture or warrant conversion, merger, change in constituents etc.
l) Disinvestments to meet redemptions, recurring expenses, etc.
m) Execution of large buy / sell orders
n) Transaction cost (including taxes and insurance premium) and recurring expenses
o) Realisation of Unit holders’ funds.
It will be the endeavor of the fund manager to keep the tracking error as low as possible. Under normal
circumstances, such tracking error is not expected to exceed 2% per annum. However, in certain events like
market volatility during rebalancing of the portfolio following the rebalancing of the underlying index, etc.
or in abnormal market circumstances, the tracking error may exceed the above limits. In case of unavoidable
circumstances in the nature of force majeure, which are beyond the control of the AMCs, the tracking error
may exceed 2% and the same shall be brought to the notice of Trustees with corrective actions taken by the
AMC, if any. The Fund existence for a period of less than one year, the annualized standard deviation shall
be calculated based on available data.
Risk specific to investing in securities forming part of NIFTY Alpha 50 Index and risks:-
The index tracks the performance of 50 stocks listed on NSE with high alphas selected from top 300
companies by average free float market capitalisation and average daily turnover for the last six months.
For eligible securities, Jensen’s Alpha based on CAPM is calculated using trailing 1 year prices (adjusted
for corporate actions). The risk to investing in these companies would emanate from market risk in general
in case equity markets enter a correction/consolidation phase. Also, the underlying scheme by mandate
restricts its investments to securities of the underlying index which represents the Nifty Alpha 50 Index
having 50 constituents and will therefore be subject to the risks associated with such selection. In addition,
the underlying scheme will be subject to certain risks associated with investment in high alpha stocks and
high alpha fund management strategies.
Risks associated with segregated portfolio:
p) Liquidity risk – A segregated portfolio is created when a credit event / default occurs at an issuer level
in the scheme. This may reduce the liquidity of the security issued by the said issuer, as demand for this
security may reduce. This is also further accentuated by the lack of secondary market liquidity for corporate
papers in India. As per SEBI norms, the scheme is to be closed for redemption and subscriptions until the
segregated portfolio is created, running the risk of investors being unable to redeem their investments.
However, it may be noted that, the proposed segregated portfolio is required to be formed within one day
from the occurrence of the credit event.
Investors may note that no redemption and subscription shall be allowed in the segregated portfolio.
However, in order to facilitate exit to unit holders in segregated portfolio, AMC shall list the units of the
segregated portfolio on a recognized stock exchange within 10 working days of creation of segregated
portfolio and also enable transfer of such units on receipt of transfer requests. For the units listed on the
exchange, it is possible that the market price at which the units are traded may be at a discount to the NAV
of such Units. There is no assurance that an active secondary market will develop for units of segregated
portfolio listed on the stock exchange. This could limit the ability of the investors to resell them.
q) Valuation risk - The valuation of the securities in the segregated portfolio is required to be carried out
in line with the applicable SEBI guidelines. However, it may be difficult to ascertain the fair value of the
securities due to absence of an active secondary market and difficulty to price in qualitative factors.
Risk envisaged and mitigation measures for repo transactions
Credit risks could arise if the counterparty does not return the security as contracted or interest received by
the counter party on due date. This risk is largely mitigated, as the choice of counterparties is largely
restricted and their credit rating is considered before entering into such transactions. Also, operational risks
are lower as such trades are settled on a DVP basis. In the event of the scheme being unable to pay back the
money to the counterparty as contracted, the counter party may dispose of the assets (as they have sufficient
margin) and the net proceeds may be refunded to us. Thus, the scheme may in remote cases suffer losses.
This risk is normally mitigated by better cash flow planning to take care of such repayments.
Different types of securities in which the scheme would invest as given in the SID carry different levels and
types of risk. Accordingly, the scheme’s risk may increase or decrease depending upon its investment
pattern.
E.g. corporate bonds carry a higher amount of risk than Government securities. Further even among
corporate bonds, bonds, which are AA rated, are comparatively more risky than bonds, which are AAA
rated.
Trading through mutual fund trading platforms of BSE and/ or NSE
In respect of transaction in Units of the Scheme through BSE and/ or NSE, allotment and redemption of
Units on any Business Day will depend upon the order processing/settlement by BSE and/ or NSE and their
respective clearing corporations on which the Mutual Fund has no control.
Risks associated with investing in Government of India Securities
r) Market Liquidity risk with fixed rate Government of India Securities even though the Government of
India Securities market is more liquid compared to other debt instruments, on certain occasions, there
could be difficulties in transacting in the market due to extreme volatility leading to constriction in
market volumes. Also, the liquidity of the Scheme may suffer in case the relevant guidelines issued by
Reserve Bank of India undergo any adverse changes.
s) Interest Rate risk associated with Government of India Securities - while Government of India
Securities generally carry relatively minimal credit risk since they are issued by the Government of
India, they do carry price risk depending upon the general level of interest rates prevailing from time to
time. Generally, when interest rates rise, prices of fixed income securities fall and when interest rates
decline, the prices of fixed income securities increase. The extent of fall or rise in the prices is a
function of the coupon rate, days to maturity and the increase or decrease in the level of interest rates.
The price-risk is not unique to Government of India Securities. It exists for all fixed income securities.
Therefore, their prices tend to be influenced more by movement in interest rates in the financial system
than by changes in the government's credit rating. By contrast, in the case of corporate or institutional
fixed income Securities, such as bonds or debentures, prices are influenced by their respective credit
standing as well as the general level of interest rates.
Risks associated with investing in TREPS Segments
The mutual fund is a member of securities and TREPS segments of the Clearing Corporation of India
(CCIL). All transactions of the mutual fund in government securities and in TREPS segments are settled
centrally through the infrastructure and settlement systems provided by CCIL; thus reducing the settlement
and counterparty risks considerably for transactions in the said segments. The members are required to
contribute an amount as communicated by CCIL from time to time to the default fund maintained by CCIL
as a part of the default waterfall (a loss mitigating measure of CCIL in case of default by any member in
settling transactions routed through CCIL). The mutual fund is exposed to the extent of its contribution to
the default fund of CCIL at any given point in time. In the event that the default waterfall is triggered and
the contribution of the mutual fund is called upon to absorb settlement/default losses of another member by
CCIL, the scheme may lose an amount equivalent to its contribution to the default fund allocated to the
scheme on a pro-rata basis.
Risk associated with potential change in Tax structure
This summary of tax implications given in the taxation section (Units and Offer Section III) is based on the
current provisions of the applicable tax laws. This information is provided for general purpose only. The
current taxation laws may change due to change in the ‘Income Tax Act 1961’ or any subsequent
changes/amendments in Finance Act/Rules/Regulations. Any change may entail a higher outgo to the
scheme or to the investors by way of securities transaction taxes, fees, taxes etc. thus adversely impacting
the scheme and its returns.
C. Risk mitigation strategies
The Fund by utilizing a holistic risk management strategy will endeavor to manage risks associated with
investing in debt and equity markets. The risk control process involves identifying & measuring the risk
through various risk measurement tools.
The Fund has identified following risks of investing in equity and debt and designed risk management
strategies, which are embedded in the investment process to manage such risks.
Risk associated with Debt Investment

have contributed capital in setting up an enterprise.
2. Equity Related Instruments are securities that give the holder of the security right to receive equity
shares on pre agreed terms. It includes convertible debentures, convertible preference shares, warrants
carrying the right to obtain equity shares, equity derivatives and such other instruments as may be
specified by the Board from time to time.
3. Equity Derivatives are financial instruments, generally traded on an exchange, the price of which is

4. Derivatives:
Futures are exchange-traded contracts to sell or buy financial instruments for future delivery at an agreed
price. There is an agreement to buy or sell a specified quantity of financial instruments on a designated
future date at a price agreed upon by the buyer and seller at the time of entering into a contract. To make
trading possible, the exchange specifies certain standardized features of the contract. A futures contract
involves an obligation on both the parties to fulfill the terms of the contract.
a. Option is a contract which provides the buyer of the option (also called holder) the right, without the
obligation, to buy or sell a specified asset at the agreed price on or upto a particular date. For acquiring
this privilege, the buyer pays premium (fee) to the seller. The seller on the other hand has the obligation
to buy or sell specified assets at the agreed price and for this obligation he receives premium. The
premium is determined considering a number of factors such as the market price of the underlying
asset/security, number of days to expiry, risk free rate of return, strike price of the option and the
volatility of the underlying asset. Option contracts are of two types viz:
b. Call Option - The option that gives the buyer the right to buy a specified quantity of the underlying
asset at the strike price is a call option. The buyer of the call option (known as the holder of call option)
can call upon the seller of the option (writer of the option) and buy from him the underlying asset at
the agreed price at any time on or before the expiry of the option.
The seller (writer of the option) on the other hand has the obligation to sell the underlying asset if the buyer
of the call option decides to exercise his option to buy.
c. Put Option - The right to sell is called put option. A Put option gives the holder (buyer) the right to sell
a specified quantity of the underlying asset at the strike price. The seller of the put option (one who is
short Put) however, has the obligation to buy the underlying asset at the strike price if the buyer decides
to exercise his option to sell.

Methodology:
Nifty Alpha 50 Index aims to measure the performance of securities listed on NSE with high alphas. It is a
well-diversified 50 stock index. In order to make the 50 stock index investible and replicable, criteria's such
as liquidity and market capitalization are applied while selection of securities. Weights of securities in the
index are assigned based on the alpha values i.e. security with highest alpha in the index gets highest weight.
Eligibility Criteria for Selection of Constituent Stocks:
The stocks must rank within the top 300 companies by average free float market capitalisation and average
daily turnover for the last six months and should have a listing of 1 year. It should also have a trading
frequency of 100% in the last one year period. The alpha of the eligible securities is calculated using trailing
1 year prices. They are ranked in descending order. The final selection of 50 companies shall be done based
on scrips' Alpha values. Securities having positive alpha will be selected to form part of the index at each
review. In case this criterion is not fulfilled, scrip with highest alpha in replacement pool will be considered
for selection.
Index Re-Balancing:
Index rebalancing will be done on a semi-annual basis in June and December. Stocks that move out of the
Nifty 200 shall also move out of the Nifty200 Momentum 30 Index at the time of the review of the Nifty200
Momentum 30 Index. From the eligible universe defined above, the top 15 ranked stocks on their
Normalized Momentum Score are compulsorily included in the index, whereas existing stocks in the index
whose rank goes beyond 45 are compulsorily excluded from the index.
Index Governance:
A professional team manages all NSE indices. There is a three-tier governance structure comprising the
Board of Directors of NSE Indices Limited, the Index Advisory Committee (Equity) and the Index
Maintenance Sub-Committee.

Account Statement, based on PAN of the holders, shall be sent by
Depositories to investors holding demat account, for each calendar month
on or before fifteenth day of the succeeding month to the investors in

the requisite information with the Depositories on monthly basis to
enable generation of CAS. Consolidation of account statement shall be
done on the basis of PAN. In case of multiple holding, it shall be the PAN

database to determine the common PANs and allocate the PANs among
themselves for the purpose of sending CAS. For PANs which are
common between depositories and AMCs, the Depositories shall send
the CAS.
In case investors have multiple accounts across the two depositories, the
depository having the demat account which has been opened earlier shall
be the default depository which will consolidate details across
depositories and MF investments and dispatch the CAS to the investor.
However, option shall be given to the demat account holder by the default
depository to choose the depository through which the investor wishes to
receive the CAS.
In case of demat accounts with nil balance and no transactions in
securities and in mutual fund folios, the depository shall send the account
