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

plan in domestic securitised debt assets. These assets would be in the nature of Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS) and Asset Backed Securities (ABS) with underlying pool of assets and receivables like Housing loans, Auto loans and Corporate loans. The Fund intends to invest only in securitised instruments rated at least AA (SO) or its equivalent by a recognised credit rating agency. The securitised debt assets and the underlying asset classes like Housing loans, Auto loans and Corporate loans have the following risk factors: Risk associated with Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS) - Housing Loans Prepayment Risk : The Fund may receive payment of monthly payouts earlier than scheduled. Prepayments shorten the life of the instrument to an extent that cannot be fully predicted. The rate of prepayments may be influenced by a variety of economic, social and other factors. Credit Risk : Delinquencies may happen which would reduce the principal amount. Typically MBS structures come with credit enhancement in variety of forms. If delinquencies are higher than the amount available in the credit enhancement facility then the monthly payouts to the Fund would reduce. Historically, it has been observed that housing loans have lower default rates as compared to other forms of credit. Liquidity Risk : Historically the secondary market volume of securitised papers has been limited. This could limit the ability of the Fund to resell them. Secondary market trades could be at a discount or premium depending upon the prevailing interest rates. Conversion Risk : Conversion of loans from fixed rates to floating rate loans and vice versa could leadto a change in the expected cash flows from the loans. Risk associated with Asset Backed Securities (ABS)-Auto loans Prepayment Risk : The Fund may receive payment of monthly payouts earlier than scheduled. Prepayments shorten the life of the instrument to an extent that cannot be fully predicted. The rate of prepayments may be influenced by a variety of economic, social and other factors. Prepayment in auto loans is lower than housing loans as the shorter tenor of auto loans makes it economically unattractive to prepay after considering the prepayment charges. Credit Risk : Delinquencies may happen which would reduce the principal amount. Typically ABS structures come with credit enhancement in variety of forms. If delinquencies are higher than the amount available in the credit enhancement facility then the monthly payouts to the Fund would reduce. Typically auto loans carry higher risk than MBS as the value retention of the underlying asset is higher in MBS as compared to the underlying asset of ABS. Liquidity Risk : Historically the secondary market volume of securitised papers has been limited. This could limit the ability of the Fund to resell them. Secondary market trades could be at a discount or premium depending upon the prevailing interest rates. Risk associated with Asset Backed Securities (ABS) - Corporate loans Credit Risk : The Fund has an exposure to the borrower/borrowers and servicing of the instrument depends on the credit risk of the borrower. The value of the instrument would fluctuate depending upon the changes in the perceived level of credit risk as well as any actual default. Prepayment Risk : The borrower may prepay the receivables prior to their respective due dates. This may result in a change in the yield and tenor for the Fund. Limited Liquidity and Price Risk : Historically the secondary market volume of securitised papers has been limited. This could limit the ability of the Fund to resell them. Secondary market trades could be at a discount or premium depending upon the prevailing interest rates. Derivatives Risk: As and when the Scheme trades 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 analysis different from those associated with stocks and bonds. The use of a derivative requires an understanding not only of the underlying instrument but also 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 a possibility that loss may be sustained by the portfolio as a result of the failure of another party (usually referred as the "counter party") to comply with the terms of the derivatives contract. Other risk 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. Derivatives can be highly leveraged instruments. Even a small price movement in the underlying security could have a large impact on the value of derivatives. Derivatives 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 risk associated with the use of derivatives is different from the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Trading in derivatives has the following risks: a. b. c. 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 the underlying securities.

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). While it is

the intention of the Investment Manager to invest primarily in highly rated debt securities, the Scheme may from time to time invest in higher yielding, lower rated securities but not below investment grade and also in un-rated securities subject to provisions and restrictions laid down by SEBI, which would enhance the degree of risk. Changes in Government Policy in general and changes in tax benefits applicable to mutual funds may impact the returns to investors in the Scheme. The NAV of the scheme may be affected by the changes in the general market conditions, factors and forces affecting capital market in particular, level of interest rates, various market related factors, settlement periods and transfer procedures. A Unit Holder may invest in the schemes and acquire a substantial portion of the scheme units. The repurchase of units by the Unit Holder may have an adverse impact on the units of the schemes, because the timing of such repurchase may impact the ability of other Unit holders to repurchase their units. The tax benefits described in this Offer Document are as available under the present taxation laws and are available subject to relevant conditions. The information given is included only for general purpose and is based on advice received by the AMC regarding the law and practice currently in force in India and the Investors should be aware that the relevant fiscal rules or their interpretation may change. As is the case with any investment, there can be no guarantee that the tax position or the proposed tax position prevailing at the time of an investment in the Scheme will endure indefinitely. In view of the individual nature of tax consequences, each Investor is advised to consult his/her own professional tax advisor. The Investment Manager perceives such situations to be exceptional in nature. The AMC, may consider the overall level of risk of the portfolio, invest in lower rated / un-rated securities, offering higher yields as well as zero coupon securities that offer attractive yields. This may increase the absolute risk of the portfolio. Any disruption in the normal functioning of the Debt market or extreme illiquidity in any one of the Scheme's securities, may affect the ability of the Fund Manager to buy or sell freely in the market. In the event of a large number of repurchase requests, the time taken by the Scheme for repurchase may become significant. It may be noted that no prior intimation/indication would be given to investors when the composition / asset allocation pattern of the Scheme undergo changes within the permitted band as mentioned in this document. In the event of substantial investment by the Sponsors and its associates in the scheme of the Mutual Fund, redemption of units by these entities may have an impact on the performance of the Scheme. Investors should study this Offer Document carefully in its entirety and should not construe the contents hereof as advice relating to legal, taxation, investment or any other matters.

A review will be made as and when such variation takes place, and, if the variation is beyond 10%, the reasons thereof will be recorded. The variation from the stated asset allocation will be constantly monitored and such variation will be brought down to the specified asset allocation levels as soon as the normalcy is restored. A report of such variations will be made to the Board of the AMC and the Trustees on a regular basis. e. 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

3 Months 8.10 Medium to High On Demand 6.35% to 7.75% 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

6.35 to 7.75% High

* 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. With the support and the priority given by the Govt., It is believed that Govt securities market is likely to witness stupendous growth during the coming days as Central and the State Govt. are required to raise large sums of money from the market to meet revenue and capital expenditure. 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

Canara Robeco Interval Scheme


5) Bankruptcy of the Originator and 6) Co-mingling of funds. These risks are being minimized by investing in rated securitized debt (rating being assigned by an approved credit rating agency) and limiting the Scheme exposure to 50% of the net assets of the Scheme. Investment Focus and strategy : The Scheme will invest in debt securities in order to generate consistent superior risk adjusted returns as per the investment objectives of the scheme. The Schemes may invest a portion of the portfolio in Money Market Instruments to meet the repurchase requirements. The remaining investment will be made in securities of varying maturity. However, the maturity of the portfolio will normally be in line with the maturity period of the respective plans in the series. The Scheme shall take into account the following parameters while decisions for investments are taken Liquidity of securities, rating, maturity profile, company's growth prospects, quality of the security, and prevailing interest rate scenario. The Scheme will also take into account risk management tools like modified duration, VAR and convexity for efficient management of the Scheme investments. The Scheme may also use various derivatives and hedging products from time to time as would be available and permitted by SEBI in an attempt to protect the value of the portfolio and enhance the Unit holder's interest. The Scheme may invest in other interval schemes managed by the AMC or such schemes managed by any other mutual funds, provided it is in conformity with the investment objectives of the Scheme and in terms of the prevailing Regulations. In addition, the Investment Manager will monitor the macro economic conditions, including the political, economic environment and factors affecting liquidity and interest rates. The Investment Manager would use this analysis to assess the likely direction of interest rates and position the portfolio appropriately to take advantage of the same. Apart from investment restrictions under the Regulations, the Fund does not presently intend to follow any internal norms vis-a-vis limiting exposure to a particular security or sector etc. However, the Fund may consider imposing any restrictions depending on the changes in the investment environment from time to time. f) Procedure followed for investment decision: The procedure followed for investment decisions is as under: The daily recommendations of the Fund Managers of the Schemes to buy or sell various securities, after giving due regard to the liquidity requirements of the respective schemes and their investment objective, will be placed (along with relevant information including research report from Research Department supported by justifications) before the Market Operation Committee (MOC). The MOC headed by the Chief Executive Officer of the AMC and consists of Chief Operating Officer, Executives in charge of Equity, Debt & Money Market, two senior level executives (Sr Vice President/Vice President). The MOC considers the recommendations and records the buy or sell decisions in writing. The decisions will be noted by the Chief Executive Officer and in his absence by the Chief Operating Officer. The executives in charge of Equity, Debt & Money Market of the AMC shall be responsible for investment/disinvestment decisions in their respective segments. Reporting System to the Board: Monthly reports on Market Operation i.e. covering equity and debt transactions are placed before the Board containing appropriate information with regard to buying and selling of securities. The corpus of the Canara Robeco Interval Scheme under its various plans/options will be invested in securities mentioned above. It is proposed to compare the performance with the respective benchmark indices by the AMC on a monthly basis and place before the Board of Directors/Trustees on a quarterly basis for review g) Benchmark Index : As approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees the Schemes have currently selected the following indices as benchmark indices for the Scheme Monthly Interval Scheme - Crisil Liquid Fund Index Quarterly Interval Scheme - Crisil Liquid Fund Index Annual Interval Scheme - Composite Short Term Bond Fund Index The Investment Manager may revise the same to a more appropriate benchmark index, if any, as and when formulated by competent agencies. AMC may give its comments/perception on comparison of returns and benchmarks, if desired.
n

h) Investment Plans/Options : Canara Robeco Interval Scheme provides two Plans 1) Retail Plan 2) Institutional Plan Under Retail and Institutional Plan the following options are also provided for the benefit of investors: 1) Growth Option 2) Dividend Option
n

Growth Option: Under this Option, the surplus earned by the Scheme will remain in the Scheme and will be reflected in the Net Asset Value. Dividend Option: Under this option, the Scheme proposes to distribute surplus, if any, by way of Dividend as may be decided by the Trustees from time to time.
n

Dividend Reinvestment: Under this Option, the Scheme proposes to distribute surplus, if any, by way of Dividend, as may be decided by the Trustees from time to time. Such dividend declared by the Trustees will be reinvested in the Scheme by way of units of the Scheme. The dividend reinvestment option shall be available to the investors during the specified transaction period only. Dividend Payout: Under this Option, the Scheme proposes to distribute surplus, if any, by way of Dividend, as may be decided by the Trustees from time to time. Such dividend declared by the Trustees will be distributed to the investors. .

Dividend Reinvestment The Trustees reserve the right to declare periodical dividend / income distribution. Such dividends declared shall be reinvested in the Scheme without being distributed amongst the investors. The dividend so receivable by them shall be invested in the Scheme by way of additional units and the dividend due and payable to the unit holders will be compulsorily and without any further act by the unit holders reinvested in the Scheme. The dividends so reinvested shall be constructive payment of dividends to the unit holders and constructive receipt of the same amount from each unit holder, for reinvestment in units. On reinvestment of dividends, the number of units to the credit of unit holder will increase to the extent of the dividend reinvested divided by the first 'Ex-income Distribution NAV' on the day of reinvestment as explained above. There shall, however, be no entry load on the dividends so reinvested. The dividend reinvestment option shall be available to the investors during the specified transaction period only. Default Option: In case the investor fails to specify their preference, it would be construed that the investor has opted for Growth Option. i) Other Terms of Issue : The nature and duration of the Scheme, provision for repurchase, Schemes' expenses and fees, are stated elsewhere in the Offer Document. The Trustees shall ensure that no change in The Fundamental attributes of any Scheme or the trust or fees and expenses payable or any other change which would modify the Scheme and affects the interest of unit holders, shall be carried out unless i. a written communication about the proposed change is sent to each Unit Holder and an advertisement is given in one English daily newspaper having nation-wide circulation as well as in a newspaper published in the language of the region where the Head Office of the Mutual Fund is situated; and the unit holders are given an option to exit at the prevailing Net Asset Value without any exit load. Liquidity Management:

ii. j)

Cash surplus/balance of any of the funds will be deployed in Reverse Repo / other money market instruments / Collateralised Borrowing and Lending Obligations (CBLO) and bank deposits, pending deployment of funds as per investment objective of the Fund. The scheme may also keep a portion in cash or near cash in meeting the expenses of the Scheme. k) Portfolio Turnover Policy : Purchase and Sale of securities attract transaction costs of the nature of brokerage, stamp duty, custodian transaction charges etc. The portfolio turnover is essential to regularly explore trading opportunities to optimise returns for the Scheme and enable portfolio restructuring when required. The Scheme will manage its portfolio taking into account the associated risks (such as interest / liquidity / redemption etc.) perceived / expected, so as to minimise the risks by using adequate risk management techniques. The portfolio turnover policy will be aimed at maximising the returns/growth.In terms of the objective of the scheme, the investments are made in securities having an unexpired maturity in line with the

12

Canara Robeco Interval Scheme


maturity period of the plans. Hence the portfolio turnover will depend upon the outflow on account of any redemptions and also the volatility of interest rates and the scheme aims to maintain a low portfolio turnover ratio. Pursuant to Schedule IX read with Regulation 50 of the SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996, the cost of investments acquired or purchased shall include all such costs incurred for effecting the transaction while the sale proceeds of investment sold or redeemed shall be net of all such costs incurred for effecting the sale transactions and shall form part of the purchase or the sale value of investments. l) Underwriting : The Schemes may take up underwriting of other issues subject to the relevant SEBI Regulations and as may be permitted by the Board of Directors of the Investment Manager. Regulation 46 of SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations,1996, states that : Mutual Funds may enter into underwriting agreement after obtaining a certificate of registration in terms of the SEBI (underwriters) rules and SEBI (underwriters) Regulations, 1993, authorising it to carry on activities as underwriters. i. ii. For the purpose of these Regulations, the underwriting obligation will be deemed as if the investments are made in such securities. The capital adequacy norms for the purpose of underwriting shall be the net assets of the Scheme. Provided that the underwriting obligation of a Mutual Fund shall not at any time exceed the total value of net assets of the Scheme. The Scheme may use derivatives in accordance with SEBI Regulations. RBI has issued guidelines on Interest Rate Swaps (IRS) and Forward Rate Agreements (FRA) on July 7, 1999. These products were introduced for developing the nation's Debt Market. Interest Rates Swaps (IRS) All swaps are financial contracts, which involve exchange (swap) of a set of payments receivable by one party for another set of payments receivable by another party, usually through an intermediary. An IRS can be defined as a contract between two parties (Counter Parties) to exchange, on particular dates in the future, one series of cash flows (fixed interest) for another series of cash flows (variable or floating interest) in the same currency and on the same principal for an agreed period of time. The exchange of cash flows need not occur on the same date. Forward Rate Agreements (FRA) A FRA is an agreement between two counter parties to pay or to receive the difference between an agreed fixed rate (the FRA rate) and the interest rate prevailing on a stipulated future date, based on a notional amount, for an agreed period. In short, in a FRA, interest rate is fixed now for a future period. The special feature of FRAs is that the only payment is the difference between the FRA rate and the Reference rate and hence are single settlement contracts. As in the case of IRS, notional amounts are not exchanged. The Scheme will use derivative instruments for the purpose of hedging and portfolio balancing. Hedging does not mean maximisation of returns but only reduction of systematic or market risk inherent in the investment. Basic Structure of a Interest Rate Swap An interest rate swap is an agreement between two parties to exchange future payment streams based on a notional amount. Only the interest on the notional amount is swapped, and principal amount is never exchanged. In a typical interest rate swap, one party agrees to pay a fixed rate over the term of the agreement and to receive a variable or floating rate of interest. The counterparty receives a stream of fixed rate payments at regular intervals as described in the agreement and pays the floating rate of interest. Illustration : Fixed interest rate : 10% p.a. Variable Interest Rate : Over-Night MIBOR (variable) Notional Principal : Rs.10 crore Period of Agreement : 1 year Interest Frequency : Semi-annual Suppose six month period from the value date of swap to the first payment date is 182 days and the daily compounded over-night MIBOR is say 8% p.a. on that date, the interest streams are as follows : Fixed Rate Payment : Rs.10,00,00,000.00 x 182 x 10 / 365 x 100 = Rs.49,86,301.36 Variable Rate : Rs.10,00,00,000.00 x 182 x 8 / 365 x 100 = Rs.39,89,041.09 In the above example, the fixed rate payer will pay the variable rate payer a net amount of Rs.9,97,260.27 (Rs.49,86,301.36 - 39,89,041.09). Likewise the second and final payment will depend upon the variable NSE MIBOR for the remaining 183 days and the interest stream of fixed rate for the said period, the difference of which, will be settled between the parties at the expiry of the contract. The above example illustrates the benefits and risks of using derivatives for hedging and optimising the investment portfolio. Swaps have its own drawbacks like credit risk, settlement risk. However, these risks are substantially reduced as the amount involved is interest streams and not principal. Risk associated with Derivatives trading: As and when the Scheme trades in the derivatives markets, there are risk factors and issues concerning the use of derivatives. Derivative products are specialised instruments that require investment techniques and risk analyses different from those associated with stocks. The use of a derivative requires understanding of the underlying instrument as well as that of the derivative itself. Derivatives require the maintenance of adequate controls to monitor the transactions entered into, the ability to assess risk that a derivative adds to the portfolio and the ability to forecast price movements correctly. There is the possibility that a loss may be sustained by the portfolio as a result of failure of another party (usually referred to as the counter party) to comply with the terms of the derivatives contract.

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

Long Term Capital Gains Tax (LTCG) Under Section 2(29A) of the Act, read with section 2(42A) of the Act, a unit of a Mutual Fund is treated as a long-term capital asset if the same is held for more than 12 months. If the unit is held for 12 months or less the same is treated as short-term capital asset. Under Section 112 of the Act, capital gains chargeable on transfer of long term capital assets are subject to tax at the rate of 20%. The capital gains will be computed by deducting the following amounts from the sale consideration: a) Expenditure incurred wholly and exclusively in connection with such transfer, and b) Cost as inflated by the cost inflation index notified by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT). However, the maximum tax payable on long term capital gains on units is restricted to 10% of capital gains calculated without indexation of cost of acquisition. In case of an individual or Hindu Undivided Family (HUF), being a resident, where the total income as reduced by the long term capital gains is below the maximum amount not chargeable to tax (Rs. 1,10,000 in case of all Individuals, Rs. 1,35,000 incase of women and Rs. 1,85,000 incase of senior citizens), the long term capital gains shall be reduced to the extent of the shortfall and only the balance long term capital gains will be subject to the flat rate of taxation. In addition to the aforesaid tax, in case of an individual, HUF or Association of Persons (AOP), where the income exceeds Rs. 10 lakhs, additional surcharge and cess is payable by all categories of taxpayers. The Long term capital gains on transfer of units would be exempt from tax under Sec 54EC and Sec 54ED subject to the conditions prescribed in these sections. These sections require investments in specified bonds or specified capital issue. However, if the amount invested is less than the capital gains realized, only proportionate capital gains would be exempt from tax. Short Term Capital Gains Tax (STCG) Gains other than long term capital gains (short term capital gains) arising to a unit holder will be taxed at the normal rate applicable to that unit holder as per the provisions of the Act. Capital Losses The capital loss resulting from sale of units would be available for setting off against other capital gains made by the investor and would reduce the tax liability of the investor to that extent. However, losses on transfer of long term capital assets would be allowed to be set-off only against gains from transfer of long-term capital assets

13. Winding up of the scheme


Regulation 39(2) of SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996, provides that a Scheme of a Mutual Fund may be wound up, after repaying the amount due to the unit holders ; a. b. c) On the happening of any event which, in the opinion of the Trustees, requires the Scheme to be wound up ; or if 75% of the unit holders of a Scheme pass a resolution that the Scheme be wound up ; or if SEBI so directs in the interest of unit holders.

Where a Scheme is wound up under the above Regulation, the Trustees shall give notice disclosing the circumstances leading to the winding up of the Scheme : a. b. to SEBI; and in two daily newspapers having circulation all over India and a vernacular news paper circulating at the place where the Mutual Fund is formed.

In case of winding up of the Scheme, the Trustees shall proceed as follows : From the proceeds of the assets of the Scheme, the Trustees shall first discharge all liabilities of the Scheme and make provision for meeting the expenses of winding up

22

Canara Robeco Interval Scheme


and the balance long-term capital loss shall be carried forward separately for a period of eight assessment years to be set off only against long-term capital gains. Short Term capital loss (other than losses arising from sale / repurchase of equity oriented units) suffered on sale / repurchase on units shall be available for set off against long term and short term capital gains (and can be carried forward for set off against both long term and short term capital gains) arising on sale of other assets and balance unabsorbed short-term capital loss can be carried forward and set off against the income under the head capital gains during subsequent eight assessment years. Provision for Dividend Where a person buys any units within a period of three months before the record date, sells such units within nine months after such date and the dividend income on such units being exempt from tax, the capital loss on such sale to the extent of the dividend income cannot be set off against other gains. Provision for Bonus Where a person buys units (original units) within a period of three months before the record date, receives bonus units on such original units, and then sells the original units within a period of 9 months from the record date and continues to hold the bonus units, then the loss incurred on the original units shall not be allowed to be set off against other profits but shall be deemed to be the cost of the bonus units. Tax Deduction at Source As per the provisions of Section 194K and 196A of the Act, no deduction of tax at source shall be made from income distributed or paid by a mutual fund to a unit holder. As per circular no. 715 dated August 8, 1995 issued by the CBDT in case of resident unit holders, no tax is required to be deducted at source from capital gains arising at the time of repurchase or redemption of the units. Under Section 195 of the Act, the Mutual Fund is required to be deducted tax at source at the rate of 20.00% on any long-term capital gains if the payee unit holder is a non-resident (not being a company) or a foreign company. In respect of shorterm capital gains, tax is required to be deducted at source at the rate of 30.00% if the payee unit holder is a non-resident individual and at the rate of 40% if the payee unit holder is a foreign company. As per circular no. 728 dated October 30, 1995 issued by the CBDT, in the case of a remittance to a country with which a Double Tax Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) is in force, the tax should be deducted at the rate provided in the Finance Act of the relevant year or at the rate provided in the DTAA, whichever is more beneficial to the assessee. In order for the unit holder to obtain the benefit of a lower rate available under a DTAA, the unit holder will be required to provide the Mutual Fund with a certificate obtained from his Assessing Officer stating his eligibility for the lower rate. Investments by Charitable and Religious Trusts Units of a Mutual Fund scheme referred to in clause 23D of section 10 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, constitute an eligible avenue for investment by charitable or religious trusts as per rule 17C of the Income Tax Rules, 1962, read with clause (xii) of subsection (5) of section 11 of the Income Tax, 1961. Wealth-tax Units of the Mutual Fund are not treated as assets under Wealth-tax Act, 1957 and therefore would not be liable to wealth-tax. Gift-tax The Gift-tax Act, 1958 has ceased to apply to gifts made on or after October 1, 1998. Gifts of Units of the Mutual Fund would therefore, be exempt from gift-tax. The above statement of possible direct tax benefits / consequences sets out the provisions of law in a summary manner only and is not a complete analysis or listing of all potential tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposal of mutual fund units. The statements made above are based on the tax laws in force as interpreted by the relevant taxation authorities as of date. NOTE : In the case of joint holding, the tax benefits are available to each joint holder in the same proportion as their individual contribution. The above list of tax treatment is not exhaustive and depends on specific entitlements of the assessee and his affairs and therefore the treatment may vary from case to case basis. In view of the individual nature of tax benefits, each investor is advised to consult his or her own tax consultant with respect to the specific tax implications arising out of his or her participation in the Scheme from the date of applicability of the various provisions furnished above. The tax benefits stated above, in brief, are in accordance with prevailing tax laws. ii.

15. Net Asset Value & Valuation of Securities


The computation of NAV, valuation of securities / assets, accounting policies and standards would be in conformity with the SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996 and guidelines issued from time to time. The NAV per unit shall be calculated as follows : Market or Fair Value of Scheme's investments + Current assets - Current Liabilities and Provisions _______________________________________ = NAV (Rs.) No. of Units outstanding under the Scheme The price arrived shall be rounded off upto four decimals. The NAV/ Repurchase price calculated as above under each plan/series will be published in two news papers on a weekly basis by way of press release / advertisement. The Fund also updates the NAV / Repurchase prices on AMFI /the Funds website on daily basis. In addition, the NAV / Repurchase prices on daily basis will be available at the Investor Relations Centres. Valuation of Assets : Traded Securities : i. Traded Securities shall be valued at the last quoted closing price on the Stock Exchange. When the securities are traded on more than one recognised stock exchange, the securities shall be valued at the last quoted closing price on the stock exchange where the security is principally traded. When on a particular valuation day, a security has not been traded on the principal stock exchange, the value at which it has been traded on another stock exchange is used. When a debt security (other than Government securities) is not traded on any stock exchange on a particular valuation day, the value at which it was traded on the principal stock exchange or any other stock exchange as the case may be, on the earliest previous day, may be used, provided such date is not more than fifteen days prior to the valuation date. When a debt security other than Government securities is purchased by way of private placement, the value at which it was bought may be used for a period of fifteen days beginning from the date of purchase. Call money placements are valued at cost.

iii.

iv

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

Canara Robeco Interval Scheme


For the purpose of valuation, all Non Traded Non Government Debt Securities would be classified into "Investment grade" and "Non Investment grade" securities based on their credit ratings. The non-investment grade securities would further be classified as "Performing" and "Non Performing" assets
n

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.

b.

Securities with Put option a.

b.

Securities with both Put and Call option on the same day The securities with both Put and Call option on the same day would be deemed to mature on the Put/Call day and would be valued accordingly. Illiquid Securities : a. Aggregate value of "illiquid securities" of scheme, which are defined as nontraded, thinly traded and unlisted equity shares, shall not exceed 15% of the total assets of the scheme and any illiquid securities held above 15% of the total assets shall be assigned zero value. All funds shall disclose as on March 31 and September 30 the scheme-wise total illiquid securities in value and percentage of the net assets while making disclosures of half yearly portfolios to the Unit Holders. In the list of investments, an asterisk mark shall also be given against all such investments which are recognised as illiquid securities. Mutual Funds shall not be allowed to transfer illiquid securities among their schemes.

16. Accounting Policies & Standards


In accordance with the SEBI (MF) Regulations, 1996, the Investment Manager follows the Accounting Policies and Standards as under: 1. The Investment Manager, for each Scheme, keeps and maintains proper books of accounts, records and documents, so as to explain its transactions and to disclose at any point of time the financial position of the Scheme and in particular give a true and fair view of state of affairs of the Fund. For the purpose of the financial statements, the Scheme shall mark all investments to market and carry investments in the Balance Sheet at the market value. However, since the unrealised gains arising out of appreciation on investments can not be distributed, provision shall be made for its exclusion when calculating distributable income. Non traded investments shall be valued by the Investment Manager on the basis of appropriate valuation method as prescribed by SEBI. In respect of interest - bearing investments, income is accrued on a day to day basis as it is earned. Therefore when such investments are purchased, interest paid for the period from the last interest due date up to the date of purchase will not be treated as cost of purchase. Similarly, interest received at the time of sale for the period from the last interest due date up to the date of sale will not be treated as an addition to sale value but must be credited to Interest Recoverable Account. In determining the holding cost of investments gain or loss on sale of investments, the Average cost method is followed for each security.

For this purpose, non-traded instruments, that is instruments not traded for a period of seven days, will be valued at cost plus interest accrued till the beginning of the day plus the difference between the redemption value and the cost spread uniformly over the remaining maturity period of the instruments; All Government Securities ( 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. Non traded T-bills with residual maturity upto 182 days (not traded for more than 15 days or one which would qualify as a thinly traded security), will be valued on straight-line amortization of last traded YTM or purchased YTM. 24

When open ended scheme units are sold, difference between the sale price and the face value of the units, if positive, shall be credited to reserve, and if negative, shall be debited to reserve, the face value being credited to the capital account. Similarly, when the units are repurchased, after considering the equalisation as above, the difference between the purchase price and the face value of the units, if positive, shall be debited to reserve and, if negative, shall be credited to the reserve and the face value being debited to the capital account. In the case of an Open Ended Scheme, when units are sold, an appropriate part of the sale proceeds shall be credited to an Equalisation Account and when units are repurchased an appropriate amount shall be debited to Equalisation Account. The net balance in this account shall be credited or debited to the revenue account .The balance in the equalisation Account debited or credited to the revenue account shall not increase or decrease the net income of The Fund but only an adjustment to the distributable surplus.
