Please also refer clause on 'Penalties and Pending Litigation' mentioned elsewhere in the Offer Document. Scheme Specific Risk Factors and Considerations 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 rate 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 the security may go down because the credit rating of an issuer goes down. It must, however, be noted that where the Scheme has invested in Government securities, there is no credit risk to that extent. 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. Different types of securities in which the Scheme would invest as given in the offer 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 carries 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. Each plan under the scheme may invest up to 50% of the net asset of the respective 3
3. Risk Factors
Standard Risk Factors i. ii. Mutual Funds, like securities investments, are subject to market risks and there can be no assurance that the Scheme's objectives will be achieved. As with any investment in securities, the NAV of Units issued under the Scheme can go up or down depending on the factors and forces affecting Capital / Debt / Money Markets.
iii. The past performance of the Mutual Fund Schemes managed by the Sponsors and their affiliates/associates is not necessarily indicative of the future
Risk factors associated with minimum of 20 investors and 25% of corpus As per the SEBI Circular No. SEBI/IMD/Cir No. 10/22701/03 dated 12.12.2003 and SEBI/IMD/Cir No. 1/42529/05 dated 14.06.2005, each Scheme should have a minimum of 20 investors and no single investor should account for more than 25% of the corpus of such scheme. In case of non-fulfilment with either of the above two conditions, the scheme shall be wound up by following the guidelines prescribed by SEBI and the unit holding of the investors would be redeemed at applicable NAV. Applicability of these guidelines shall be at the portfolio level within the Scheme In case of New Fund Offering, a three months time period or the end of succeeding calendar quarter, whichever is earlier, from the close of the New Fund Offering (NFO) will be available to balance and to ensure compliance with these two conditions. After the NFO, on an ongoing basis, in each subsequent calendar quarter thereafter, on an average basis, the scheme should meet with both these conditions. To determine the breach of the 25% limit by an investor, the average net assets of the scheme would be calculated daily. At the end of the quarter, the average of daily holding by each such investor is computed to determine whether that investor has breached the 25% limit over the quarter. In case of breach, a rebalancing period of one month would be allowed and thereafter the investor who is in breach of the rule shall be given 15 days notice to redeem his exposure over the 25% limit. Failure on the part of the said investor to redeem his exposure over the 25% 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. As the plans in the Scheme would be available for redemption / fresh subscription every month / quarter / year (intervals), the Fund shall ensure that the Scheme complies with the above regulations with regard to minimum number of investors each time the Scheme / plan open for fresh subscription. Other risks The liquidity of the Scheme's investments inherently restricted by trading volumes and settlement periods. In the event of an inordinately large number of redemptions or of a restructuring of the Scheme's investment portfolio, there may be delays in the redemption of units. Please refer to the section on "Right to limit repurchases" and "Suspension of sales/repurchase/switching options of the units" in this document. The value of the Scheme investments may be affected by factors affecting capital markets generally, such as price and volume volatility in the stock markets, interest rates, currency exchange rates, foreign investments, changes in government policy, political, economic or other developments and closure of the stock exchanges. The NAV of the Scheme will be sensitive to changes in Interest /Bank / Prime Lending Rates. In case of investment in Money Market Instruments and in Central / State Govt. Securities by the Scheme, an increase in the Interest / Bank / Prime Lending Rates will impact the market value of existing investments leading to decrease in the Scheme's NAV. Debt securities are subject to the risk of an issuer's inability to meet principal and interest payments on the obligations (Credit Risk). Debt securities may also be subject to price volatility due to such factors as interest sensitivity, market perception or creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity (Market Risk).

Capital Market : This brief on the securities market is intended to inform the investors the details such as type of securities, risk profiles, likely yield and liquidity of the instruments available in the market. This section covers monitoring exposure of the Scheme to a particular class of security. Debt Instruments - include Govt. of India securities (zero coupon or coupon bearing Bonds), State Govt. Bonds, Bonds issued by local Govt, Govt. Agencies and other statutory bodies (with or without Govt. Guarantee), Bonds of Public Sector Undertakings, Debentures issued by public / private sector undertakings, Financial Institutions with or without ratings, Securitised Debt, Usance Bills and other domestic instruments either listed or unlisted having a maturity of more than 365 days. Money Market Instruments - include Commercial Papers, Commercial Bills, Treasury Bills, Government Securities having an un-expired maturity up to one year, Call or Notice Money, Certificate of Deposit, Usance Bills and any other like instruments as specified by the Reserve Bank of India / SEBI, from time to time. The Scheme proposes to invest in Collateralised Borrowing Lending Obligation (CBLO), Repos Treasury Bills, MIBOR Instruments, CPs, CDs and Govt. Securities having un-expired maturity up to one year. These securities may be listed or unlisted. The current yields under various securities are as under : Issuer GOI GOI GOI Corporates Instrument Treasury Bill Treasury Bill Short Term CP/CD (P1+) CBLO Maturity 91 days 364 days One Year Three Months On Demand Annualised Liquidity Yields* (in %) 7.05 7.62 7.66 8.10 High High High Medium to High
* As at 31.12..2007 The yields are likely to vary depending on market conditions. iv. In the case of investment in debt instruments, the Fund adheres to the general prudential investment guidelines such as promoters' track record, credit rating awarded to the instrument by the reputed credit rating agencies, security offered, duration of the debt instruments, purpose for which the finance is being raised and the sector/ line of business of the company etc., keeping in mind the general trend and their growth prospects for the industry in general and company in particular during the period of repayment of the debt etc. v. The AMC aims to identify the securities, which gives superior levels of yield at lower levels of risks. With the aim to minimise the risk associated with the debt securities particularly the credit risk, the Fund manager and the debt research department thoroughly evaluate the proposal before taking investment decision.
vi. The Scheme aims to diversify the risk associated with the investment in Govt. securities by investing in actively traded liquid securities with different coupon rates and maturities. The Scheme aims to maximise the portfolio return by actively churning the securities of different maturities by keeping constant track on the market and encash on the opportunities that present themselves from time to time on account of interest rate movement due to Govt. policy, borrowing programmes of the Govt., RBI open market operations and the money market situation in the country etc. Investment in Securitized Debt : Securitised Debt is a financial instrument (bond) whose interest and principal payments are backed by an underlying cash flow from another asset. Asset Securitisation is a process whereby commercial or consumer credits are packaged and sold in the form of financial instruments. A typical process of asset securitisation involves sale of specific receivables to a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) set up in the form of a trust or a company. The SPV in turn issues financial instruments (promissory notes, participation certificates or other debt instruments) also referred to as Securitised Debt to the investors evidencing the beneficial ownership of the investors in the receivables. Investment in Securitized Debt includes investment in Asset Backed Receivables and Future Flow Receivables. Such Securitized Debts are asset classes like, personal vehicle receivables, commercial vehicle receivables, mortgage backed receivables i.e housing finance receivables, lease receivables and corporate/consumer loan receivables. The Scheme intends to invest in any or all classes of these securitized assets which are rated not below the investment grade. Following are the risk perceived under each of the underlying assets of the Securitized Debt 1) Loss due to default and/or payment delay on receivables., 2) Risk due to possible prepayments. 3) Limited loss cover, Delinquency and credit risk. 4) Originator/Collection Agent Risk. 11
* As at 31.12.2007. The yields are likely to vary depending on market conditions. Debt and Money Market i. ii. The market for debt instruments in India is estimated at over Rs. 6,50,000 crores. A major part of the debt market consists of GOI Securities. Govt. securities market is the largest market and the most liquid market in India.

Banks, Financial Institutions, Provident Funds and Insurance Companies are required by various statutes to invest a portion of these funds in Govt. securities and are big investors in the market.
iii. Besides Govt. Securities, Debt markets currently comprise the following instruments: Corporate Debentures, PSU Bonds, Fixed Coupon Bonds, Floating Rate Bonds, Zero Coupon Bonds, Promissory Notes, Commercial Paper, Certificate of Deposit and Securitised Debt. The maturity of GOI Securities vary

m) Hedging and Derivatives : SEBI vide its circular noMFD/CIR/011/061/2000 dated February1, 2000 permitted mutual funds to participate in derivatives trading subject to the observance of guidelines issued by SEBI. The Fund has to comply with the prescribed disclosure requirements. As part of the fund management process, the AMC may use the derivative instruments such as index futures, stock futures and option contracts, warrants convertible securities, swap agreements or any other derivative instruments that are permissible or may be permissible in future under applicable regulations and such investments shall be in accordance with the investment objectives of the Scheme. Trading in derivatives has following risks: An exposure to derivatives in excess of the hedging requirements can lead to losses. An exposure to derivatives can also limit the profits from a genuine investment transaction. Efficiency of a derivative market depends on the development of a liquid and efficient market for underlying securities. Thus, derivatives are highly leveraged instruments. Even a small price movement in the underlying security could have a large impact on their value. Also, the market for derivative instruments is nascent in India. Any loss on derivatives transaction I sought to be prevented by taking exposure to derivatives only for the purpose of hedging and not for speculative purposes such an exposure will be backed by assets in the form of cash or securities adequate to meet the cost of derivative trading and loss, if any, due to unfavourable movements in the market. There will be no investment in derivatives based on equity or equity index. The investment in derivatives will be based only on derivatives related to debt such as interest rate derivates. Valuation of Derivative Products Traded derivatives shall be valued at market price in conformity with the stipulations of sub clauses (i) to (v) of clause 1 of the Eighth Schedule to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996 and as per Circular MFD/CIR/011/061/2000 dated 01.02.2000. Valuation of untraded derivatives shall be done in accordance with the valuation method for untraded investments prescribed in sub clauses (i) and (ii) of clause 2 of the Eighth Schedule to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996 and as per Circular MFD/CIR/011/061/2000 dated 01.02.2000. Exposure to Derivatives The Scheme shall use derivatives as risk management tools for hedging and portfolio balancing. Therefore derivatives may be used to hedge upto 30% of Scheme's net assets, in order to protect the interests of the Unit Holders under the scheme. Losses may arise as a result of using derivatives, but these are likely to be compensated by the gains on the underlying cash instruments held by the Scheme. The Scheme will not assume any leverage exposure to derivatives. Debt / Debt Related Derivatives

Thinly Traded Debt Securities : A debt security (other than Government Securities) shall be considered as a thinly traded security if on the valuation date, there are no individual trades in that security in marketable lots (currently Rs. 5 Crores) on the principal stock exchange or any other stock exchange. In order to determine whether a security is thinly traded or not the volumes traded in all recognised stock exchanges in India may be taken into account. A thinly traded debt security as defined above would be valued as per the norms set for non-traded debt security. Non Traded Securities : A debt security is not traded on any stock exchange for a period of fifteen days prior to the valuation date the scrip will be treated as a 'non traded' security. Valuation : a. Non Traded /Thinly Traded Debt Securities of Upto 182 Days to Maturity : In the absence of any other standard benchmarks in the market, debt securities purchased with residual maturity of upto 182 days are to be valued at cost (including accrued interest till the beginning of the day) plus the difference between the redemption value (inclusive of interest) and cost spread uniformly over the remaining maturity period of the instrument. b. Non Traded/ Thinly Traded Debt Securities of Over 182 Days to Maturity Debt securities purchased with maturity of greater than 182 days are to be valued at the last valuation price (instead of purchase cost) plus accrued interest till the beginning of the day plus the difference between the redemption value (inclusive of interest) and cost spread uniformly over the remaining maturity period of the instrument, if at the time of its valuation they have a residual maturity of upto 182 days. All other non traded Non Government Debt instruments will be valued using the following method: c. Non Traded / Thinly Traded Non Government Debt Securities of over 182 days to maturity : 23
All Non Government investment grade debt securities, classified as not traded, shall be valued on yield to maturity basis as described below. All Non Government non investment grade performing debt securities would be valued at a discount of 25% to the face value All Non Government non investment grade non performing debt securities would be valued based on the provisioning norms.
Non-traded T - Bills with residual maturity greater than 182 days (not traded for more than 15 days or one which would qualify as a thinly traded security), shall be valued at prices provided by the agency suggested by the AMFI on a daily basis. In the event of non availability of such prices for any reason whatsoever prices released by other competent agencies will be used, failing which, average of the indicative bid price quotes obtained from two government securities brokers will be used. In respect of convertible debentures and bonds, the non-convertible and convertible components shall be valued separately. The non-convertible component would be valued on the same basis as would be applicable to a debt instrument. Where instruments have been bought on 'repo' basis, the instrument would be valued at the resale price after deduction of applicable interest upto the date of resale. Where an instrument has been sold on a 'repo' basis, adjustment would be made for the difference between the repurchase price (after deduction of applicable interest upto date of repurchase) an the value of the instrument, the depreciation would be provided for and if the repurchase price is lower than the value of the instrument, credit would be taken for the appreciation. Valuation in respect of Non Performing Assets: Valuation in respect of Non Performing Assets (Debt Securities) will be done in accordance with SEBI Guidelines for identification and provisioning for NPAs issued vide cicular dated 18th September,2000 bearing reference no. MFD/CIR/8/92/2000 as amended from time to time. Accrual of Expenses & Income : All expenses and incomes accrued upto the valuation date shall be considered for computation of net asset value. For this purpose, while major expenses like management fees and other periodic expenses should be accrued on a day to day basis, other minor expenses and income need not be so accrued, provided the nonaccrual does not affect the NAV calculations by more than 1%. Recording of Changes: Any changes in securities and in the number of units will 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 NAV disclosure, the recording may be delayed up to a period of seven days following the date of the transaction, provided as a result of such non recording, the NAV calculations shall not be affected by more than 2%. The valuation guidelines as outlined above are within the parameters of prevailing regulations and are subject to changes from time to time by AMC and/or Trustees. However such changes would be in conformity with the regulations.
The approach in valuation of non traded debt securities is based on the concept of using spreads over the benchmark rate to arrive at the yields for pricing the non traded security. The Yields for pricing the non traded debt security would be arrived at using the process as prescribed in accordance with SEBI Guidelines for valuation of securities issued vide circular dated 18th September, 2000 bearing reference No. MFD/CIR/8/92/2000 as amended from time to time. Valuation of securities with Put/Call Options The option embedded securities would be valued as follows: Securities with call option : a. The securities with call option shall be valued at the lower of the value as obtained by valuing the security to final maturity and valuing the security to call option. In case there are multiple call options, the lowest value obtained by valuing to the various call dates and valuing to the maturity date is to be taken as the value of the instrument. The securities with put option shall be valued at the higher of the value as obtained by valuing the security to final maturity and valuing the security to put option In case there are multiple put options, the highest value obtained by valuing to the various put dates and valuing to the maturity date is to be taken as the value of the instruments.
