Growth Option: No dividend distribution is envisaged under this option. The income attributable to the units allotted under this option will continue to remaininvested in the plan and will be reflected in the Net Asset Value of units under the option.

Dividend Option: It is proposed to declare dividend on maturity of the respective Plans to be launched under the Scheme. Distribution of dividend will besubject to the availability of distributable surplus, as computed in accordance with the SEBI Regulations.

However, the Trustees reserve the right to declare dividends during the interim period. There is no assurance or guarantee as to the rate and frequency of dividenddistribution.

Dividends as and when declared will be paid to eligible unitholders of record, within 30 days of the declaration of dividend. The actual date of declaration ofdividend will be notified by display at the designated investor service centres.

Investors are required to clearly indicate the option under the plans in the application form. In the absence of clear indication as to the choice of option underthe respective Plans, units will by default be allotted under the Growth Option of the respective Plans.

Investment Objective - The primary investment objective of the Scheme is to seek to achieve growth of capital by investing in a portfolio of fixed incomesecurities normally maturing in line with the time profile of the respective plans.

Transparency – The NAV shall be computed on daily basis. It shall be published at least in two daily newspapers at intervals of not exceeding one week. Itshall be uploaded on the AMFI site and Reliance Mutual Fund site i.e. www.reliancemutual.com on a daily basis.

_ Publication of Abridged Half-yearly Financial Extracts in the Publications or as may be prescribed under the Regulations from time to time.

- Communication of Portfolio on a half-yearly basis to the Unitholders directly or through the Publications or as may be prescribed under the Regulations fromtime to time.

- Dispatch of the Annual Reports of the Scheme within the stipulated period as required under the Regulations.

RISK FACTORS AND SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

GENERAL RISK FACTORS

- Mutual Funds and securities investments are subject to market risks and there is no assurance or guarantee that the objectives of the Scheme will be achieved.- As with any investment in securities, the NAV of the Units issued under the Scheme can go up or down depending on the factors and forces affecting thecapital markets.

- Past performance of the Sponsor/AMC/Mutual Fund is not indicative of the future performance of the Scheme.

- Reliance Fixed Maturity Fund - Series II is only the name of the Scheme and does not in any manner indicate either the quality of the Scheme, it’s future prospectsor returns.

-The Sponsor is not responsible or liable for any loss resulting from the operation of the Scheme beyond their initial contribution of Rs.1 lakh towards the settingup of the Mutual Fund and such other accretions and additions to the corpus.

- The Mutual Fund is not guaranteeing or assuring any dividend. The Mutual Fund is also not assuring that it will make periodical dividend distributions, thoughit has every intention of doing so. All dividend distributions are subject to the investment performance of the Scheme.

SCHEME SPECIFIC RISK FACTORS

-The NAV of the Scheme may be affected, inter alia, by changes in the market conditions, interest rates, trading volumes, settlement periods and transferprocedures.

-The liquidity of the Scheme’s investments may be inherently restricted by trading volumes, settlement periods and transfer procedures. In the event of aninordinately large number of redemption requests, or of a re-structuring of the Scheme’s investment portfolio, these periods may become significant. Please readthe Sections of this Offer Document entitled “Special Considerations” and “Right to Limit Redemptions”.

- As per SEBI circular dated December 12, 2003 ref SEBI/IMD/CIR No.10/22701/03, each scheme and individual plan(s) under the schemes shouldhave a minimum of 20 investors and no single investor should account for more than 25% of the corpus of such scheme/plan(s). In case ofnon-fulfillment with either of the above two conditions, the investor’s money would be refunded, in full, immediately after the close of the IPO.

-A Unitholder in Reliance Fixed Maturity Fund - Series II should be aware of the risks generally associated with investments in the fixed income and moneymarket instruments. Given below are some of the common risks associated with investments in fixed income and money market securities. These risks includebut are not restricted to:

Interest Rate Risk: As with all debt securities, changes in interest rates will affect the Scheme’s Net Asset Value as the prices of securities generally increaseas interest rates decline and generally decrease as interest rates rise. Prices of longer-term securities generally fluctuate more in response to interest rate changesthan do shorter-term securities. Interest rate movements in the Indian debt markets can be volatile leading to the possibility of large price movements up or downin debt and money market securities and thereby to possibly large movements in the NAV.

Liquidity or Marketability Risk: This refers to the ease at which a security can be sold at or near its true value. The primary measure of liquidity risk is thespread between the bid price and the offer price quoted by a dealer. Liquidity risk is characteristic of the Indian fixed income market.

Credit Risk: Credit risk or default risk refers to the risk which may arise due to default on the part of the issuer of the fixed income security (i.e. will be unableto make timely principal and interest payments on the security). Because of this risk debentures are sold at a yield spread above those offered on Treasurysecurities, which are sovereign obligations and generally considered to be free of credit risk. Normally, the value of a fixed income security will fluctuate dependingupon the actual changes in the perceived level of credit risk as well as the actual event of default.

Reinvestment Risk: This risk refers to the interest rate levels at which cash flows received from the securities in the Scheme or from maturities in the Schemeare reinvested. The additional income from reinvestment is the “interest on interest” component. The risk refers to the fall in the rate for reinvestment of interimcashflows.

Risks for various type of securities

CREDIT RISK LIQUIDITY RISK PRICE RISK

Listed Depends on credit quality Relatively Low Depends on duration of instrument

Unlisted Depends on credit quality Relatively High Depends on duration of instrument

Secured Relatively low Relatively Low Depends on duration of instrument

Unsecured Relatively high Relatively High Depends on duration of instrument

Rated Relatively low and depends Relatively Lowon the rating Depends on duration of instrument

Unrated Relatively high Relatively High Depends on duration of instrument

- It should be noted that the Schedule for the intended launch of various plans given in this Offer Document elsewhere is only indicative and the Trustee maydecide not to launch Plan (s) or alter, either partly or fully, the proposed schedule of launch of Plans. The Trustees, reserve the right to increase / decreasethe number of working days under the specified redemption period and alter / modify / change the specified subscription / repurchase period / dividend date(s).

Such revision shall be notified by a notice at the Designated Investor Service Centre atleast two days before any such changes are applicable. However, wheresuch changes which amount to change in the fundamental attributes, the Trustees, shall comply with SEBI Regulation 18(15A) as detailed elsewhere in the OfferDocument. For this purpose, fundamental attribute shall mean:

(i) Type of scheme

Close-ended income Scheme

(ii) Investment Objectives & Policies

Primary objective is to seek to achieve regular returns / growth of capital by investing in a portfolio of fixed income securities normally maturing in line withthe time profile of the plan with the objective of limiting interest rate volatiltiy.

Investment Pattern is as indicated in section V point no.1 Investment Objectives & Policies.

(iii) Terms of Issue

Repurchase/redemption of units as defined in ‘Redemption of Units’

Fees and expenses as stated in section VII point no. C-2 “Recurring Expenses of the Scheme” (As % of Average weekly Net Assets) / as permitted by theRegulations.

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’srisk may increase or decrease depending upon its investment pattern e.g. corporate bonds carry a higher level of risk than Government securities. Further evenamong corporate bonds, bonds which are AAA rated are comparatively less risky than bonds which are AA rated.

The scheme may invest upto 100% in Securitised debt including Pass Through Certificates (PTCs).

As with any other debt instrument, the following risk factors have to be taken into consideration while investing in PTCs:

a) Credit Risk : Since most of the PTCs are drawn from a cherry picked pool of underlying assets, the risk of delay / default due to poor credit quality is low.Further more most of the PTCs enjoy additional cashflow coverage in terms of subordination by another lower class of PTCs or in terms of excess cashcollateralisation. Moreover, we intend to invest mostly but not exclusively in PTCs rated AAA or equivalent so as to keep control on credit risk. However, itshall be understood that not all PTCs shall be AAA rated and thus credit risk may be higher as the credit risk is based on the rating. PTCs which are AAArated are comparatively less risky than PTCs which are AA rated.

b) Liquidity Risk: Since the maturity of the PTCs will be in line with the maturity of the FMP, the risk arising from low secondary market liquidity of such instrumentsis low.

c) Price Risk / Interest Rate Risk : The price risk of these instruments shall be in line with the maturity / duration of such instruments. However given the factthat these instruments will have a maturity profile upto 2 years, the duration risk is relatively less.

Domestic Securitised debt can have different underlying assets and these assets have different risk characteristics. These may be as given in the followingexample:

Security 1 -Backed by receivables of personal loans originated by ICICI Bank

Specific Risk Factors: Loss due to default and/or payment delay on Receivables, Premature Termination of Facility Agreements, Limited loss cover, Delinquencyand Credit Risk, Limited Liquidity and Price Risk, Originator/Collection Agent Risk, Bankruptcy of the Originator, Co-mingling of funds

Security2 - Senior Series Pass Through Certificates backed by commercial vehicles and two-wheeler loan and loan receivables from IndusInd Bank Limited

Specific Risk Factors - Credit And Rating Downgrade Risk, Prepayment And Foreclosures Risk for Senior PTC Series , Prepayment And Foreclosures Risk forSenior PTC Series, Servicing Agent Risk, Co-mingling Risk, Bankruptcy of the Seller

The scheme reserves the right to invest it’s entire allocation in debt and money market securities in any one of the fixed income security classes.

- Each Plan will have a specific Maturity Date. At the time of maturity of the plan, the unitholder shall have the following choices as indicated at the time ofmaking an application for units under the plan:

Page 5: I. HIGHLIGHTS, RISK FACTORS AND DUE · PDF fileI. HIGHLIGHTS, RISK FACTORS AND DUE DILIGENCE ... accretions and additions to the corpus. - The Mutual Fund is not guaranteeing or ...

(i) Units under the plan will be compulsorily and without any further act by the unitholder(s) be redeemed on the specified Maturity date at applicable NAV.

(ii) Units under the plan will be compulsorily and without any further act by the unitholder(s) be reinvested on the specified Maturity date at applicable NAVin another plan of similar tenure which is opening for fresh subscription on the said date and will be continued till the time the unitholder applies for redemption.In this case, the consent for the application in respect of the first plan shall be deemed to be taken as consent for all subsequent plans and the terms and conditionsof the subsequent plans shall be binding upon the unitholders.

-The tax benefits described in this Offer Document are as available under the present taxation laws and are available subject to relevant conditions. Theinformation given is included only for general purposes and is based on advise received by the Investment Manager regarding the law and practice currentlyin force in India and the Unit holders should be aware that the relevant fiscal rules or their interpretation may change. As is the case with any investment, therecan 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 viewof the individual nature of tax consequences, each Unit holder is advised to consult his / her own professional tax advisor.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

The Mutual Fund is not assuring or guaranteeing that it will be able to make regular periodical distributions to its Unitholders though it has every intentionto manage the portfolio so as to make periodical income distributions to Unitholders. Periodical distributions will be dependent on the returns achieved by theAsset Management Company through the active management of the portfolio. Periodical distributions may therefore vary from period to period, based oninvestment results of the portfolio.

RCAM may use various derivative products, from time to time, in an attempt to protect the value of the portfolio and with an intention to enhance Unit holder’sinterest of the Scheme.

Risk attached with the use of derivatives

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. Theuse of a derivative requires an understanding not only of the underlying instrument but of the derivative itself. Derivatives require the maintenance of adequatecontrols 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 interestrate movements correctly. There is a possibility that a loss may be sustained by the portfolio as a result of the failure of another party (usually referred to asthe “counterparty”) to comply with the terms of the derivatives contract. Other risks in using derivatives include the risk of mispricing or improper valuationof derivatives and the inability of derivatives to correlate perfectly with underlying assets, rates and indices.

The Trustees have the right in their sole discretion, to limit redemptions under certain circumstances.

Investors should study this Offer Document carefully in its entirety and should not construe the contents hereof as advise relating to legal, taxation,investment or any other matters.

4. Debt Market in India: Poised for a Major Growth

Debt Market in India: The Indian Debt market is facing major shift in the recent times. The substantial growth in Mutual Fund collections in the past few yearshave provided an easy route for the investors to channelise their savings into the debt market, which otherwise is largely dominated by Banks and otherInstitutional investors.

At present, the Indian debt market is dominated by issues of Central Government bonds, Coporate Debentures and PSU Bonds. The new Securitised instrumentsare also very attractive in the primary market. Risk associated with securitized Debt or PTCs are credit risk, liquidity risk and price risk/interest rate risk. Theother instruments available for investment are Commercial Papers, Certificate of Deposits, Government guaranteed bonds, etc. Brief details about theseinstruments are given below as on March 31, 2005:

Call Money unlisted 3.50% to 4.80% High Low

Mibor linked Papers listed +50 to70 bps Low Moderate

PTCs Unlisted 5.5% to 7.5% Low Low to medium

A brief description about yields presently available on Central Govt. Securities /Bonds & Debentures of various maturities is as follows:

Annualised yields (as on March 31, 2005) are:

Yrs < 1yr 2-7yrs 7-11yrs 11-20 yrs

Central Government securities/ Treasury Bills 4.90% to 5.65% 5.70% to 6.45% 6.45% to 6.70% 6.70% to 7.20%

Debentures/ Bonds (AAA rated) 5.15% to 6.15% 6.15% to 7.00% 7.00% to 7.22% NA

The price and yield on various debt instruments fluctuate from time to time depending upon the macro economic situation, inflation rate, overall liquidityposition, foreign exchange scenario, etc. Also, the price and yield varies according to maturity profile, credit risk etc.

5. Derivatives and hedging products:

Trading in Derivatives:

The scheme may use derivative instruments like Interest rate swaps, Forward rate agreements or such other derivative instruments as may be introduced fromtime to time for the purpose of hedging and portfolio balancing as may be permitted under the Regulations and Guidelines.

The sum total of derivative contracts outstanding shall not exceed the SEBI prescribed limits.

An interest rate swap is a financial contract between two parties exchanging a stream of interest payments for a notional principal amount on multiple occasionsduring a specified period.

Typically, one party receives a pre-determined fixed rate of interest while the other party, receives a floating rate, which is linked to a mutually agreed benchmarkwith provision for mutually agreed periodic resets.

Accounts are generally settled on a net basis on predetermined settlement dates. Accordingly, on each agreed payment date, amounts owed by each party iscalculated by applying the agreed rate i.e. fixed in one case and floating in the other, on the notional amount. The party who owes the higher amount i.e. thedifference between the interest rate amount and the floating interest rate amount or vice versa, makes a payment of the net amount. No principal amount isexchanged.

Generally, interest rate swaps involve exchange of a fixed rate to a floating rate of interest or vice versa. These are known as Plain Vanilla Swaps. The RBIhas currently allowed only these swaps in the Indian market.

Example:

The most common type of swaps is where one party agrees to pay a fixed rate of interest ( fixed-rate payer) to the other party who agrees to pay a floatingrate of interest ( floating-rate

payer). The payments are exchanged on designated dates during the life of the contract at agreed rates.

Suppose, the view on interest rate is that they would come down over the next three months if a particular investment is yielding a rate of return at 10% p.a.currently, the Fund Manager would like to lock-in this rate of return which in a downward interest rate scenario would appear attractive.

He, then, enters into a swap transaction with a counterparty who is willing to pay a fixed rate of 10% p.a. and accept a floating rate linked to say, MIBORwhich would vary everyday but is currently at 7% p.a. The transaction would be represented thus:

Receives fixed rate@10% p.a.

RMF Counterparty B

Pays Floating Rate MIBOR

Page 22: I. HIGHLIGHTS, RISK FACTORS AND DUE · PDF fileI. HIGHLIGHTS, RISK FACTORS AND DUE DILIGENCE ... accretions and additions to the corpus. - The Mutual Fund is not guaranteeing or ...

20

Note:

1. No principal amount is exchanged. A notional principal amount is agreed upon for interest calculation purposes.

2. Only the difference between the two rates is exchanged at agreed intervals or payment dates. When fixed interest rate amount is higher, the fixed rate payerpays the difference amount i.e. fixed interest rate amount minus the floating interest rate amount or vice-versa.

Forward Rate Agreements (FRAs):

A FRA is a financial contract between parties agreeing to exchange interest payments for a notional principal amount on settlement dates for a specified periodfrom start date to maturity date.

A FRA enables parties to fix interest cost on a future borrowing or fix an interest rate for a future investment.

Hedging a future asset:

Example: Suppose, RMF has funds to invest after two months for a period of three months. The Fund Manager expects interest rates to soften in the next twomonths. He, therefore, would like to lock-in the interest rate today for his investment to be made after two months. The instrument in which he wishes to investis a 91-day Treasury Bill at 8.25% p.a. He, therefore, enters into

an agreement where he sells a 2 x 5 FRA for a notional principal amount. 2 represents the start date of the FRA and 5 represents the maturity date or end date.

The details will be as under:

Asset : 91-day T’ Bill

Tenor : 3 months commencing from 2 months from date of agreement.

Indicative 2 x 5 : 8.25% p.a.

Benchmark : 91-day T’ Bill cut-off yield on the last auction preceding settlement date

So RMF receives 8.25% p.a. on the notional amount on settlement date. Counterparty will receive 91-day T’ Bill cut-off rate on the 91-day T’ Bill auction, onthe auction just preceding

the settlement date.

Both, IRS and FRAs can be thus effectively used as hedging products for interest rate risks.

Risk Factors:

Derivatives products carry the credit risk (risk of default by counterparty), market risk (due to market movements) and liquidity risk (due to lack of liquidityin derivatives).

3. No principal amount is exchanged. A notional principal amount is agreed upon for interest calculation purposes.

4. Only the difference between the two rates is exchanged at agreed intervals or payment dates. When fixed interest rate amount is higher, the fixed rate payerpays the difference amount i.e. fixed interest rate amount minus the floating interest rate amount or vice-versa.

6. Portfolio Turnover

It is presently anticipated that the portfolio turnover rate will be low. However, trading opportunities may emerge from time to time due to inefficiencies in themarket causing the portfolio turnover rate to rise. A high portfolio turnover rate may be representative of arbitrage opportunities that exist for securities in theportfolio rather than an indication of the Investment Manager’s view on a sector or security.

7. Investment Limitations

The investment policy of the scheme comply with the rules, regulations and guidelines laid out in SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996. As per theRegulations, specifically the Seventh Schedule, the following investment limitations are currently applicable:

1. The Scheme shall not invest more than 15% of its NAV in debt instruments issued by a single issuer, which are rated not below investment grade by a creditrating agency. This investment limit may be extended to 20% of the NAV of the Scheme with the prior approval of the Board of the Trustee Company and theBoard of the AMC. This limit shall not apply to investments in government securities and money market instruments. Provided further that investment withinsuch limit can be made in mortgaged backed securitised debt which are rated not below investment grade by a credit rating agency registered with SEBI.

If these limits are exceeded forreasons beyond its control, AMC shall adopt as a priority objective the remedying of that situation, taking due account of the interests of the Unit holders.

The Trustee Company / AMC may alter these above stated limitations from time to time, and also to the extent the Regulations change, so as to permit the Schemeto make its investments in the full spectrum of permitted investments in order to achieve its investment objectives & policies. As such all investments of theScheme will be made in accordance with the Regulations, including Schedule VII thereof and the Fundamental Attributes of this Scheme.

At RMF, to ensure robust risk management and adequate portfolio diversification internal Investment policy for various debt schemes has been framed. Theinvestment policy at RMF specifies limits both on overall basis (across all schemes) as well as on individual scheme level. Guidelines for following parametersfor liquid as well as non liquid schemes has been specified in the policy:

1. Eligible Instruments: Defines the eligible instruments where the scheme can invest

2. Minimum Liquidity : Defines the instruments considered as liquid instruments and the minimum investments in these instruments as a percentage of totalnet assets

3. Maximum Illiquid component : Defines the instruments considered as illiquid and the maximum investment that can be made in these instruments as apercentage of net assets.

4. Rating: Defines minimum and/ or maximum investment in a particular rating as a percentage of total portfolio.

5. Maturity : Defined the weighted average maturity of a portfolio. Also defines the weighted average maturity, maximum and maturity for certain asset typeslike corporate bond, PTCs, Gilts etc

8. Fundamental Attributes

Notwithstanding the above, the Trustees, in accordance with Regulation 18(15)(A) of the SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996, ensure that no change in thefundamental attributes of any Scheme or the Trust or fees and expenses payable or any other change which would modify the Scheme and affect the interestof the unitholders, shall be carried out unless: -

i) A written communication about the proposed change is sent to each unitholder and an advertisement is given in one English daily newspaper having nationwidecirculation as well as in the newspaper published in the language of the region where the Head Office of the Mutual Fund is situated and

ii) The unitholders are given an option to exit at the prevailing Net Asset Value without any exit load.

For the purposes of this section, “fundamental attributes” of the scheme shall mean:

(i) Type of scheme : Close-ended income Scheme

(ii) Investment Objectives & Policies

Primary objective is to seek to achieve growth of capital by investing in a portfolio of fixed income securities normally maturing in line with the time profileof the respective plans.

Investment Pattern is as indicated in section V point no.1 Investment Objectives & Policies.

Page 24: I. HIGHLIGHTS, RISK FACTORS AND DUE · PDF fileI. HIGHLIGHTS, RISK FACTORS AND DUE DILIGENCE ... accretions and additions to the corpus. - The Mutual Fund is not guaranteeing or ...

22

(iii) Terms of Issue

Repurchase/redemption of units as defined in ‘Redemption of Units’

Fees and expenses as stated in section VII point no. C-2 “Recurring Expenses of the Scheme” (As % of Average weekly Net Assets) / as permitted by theRegulations.

Fundamental Attributes will not cover such actions of the Trustees of the Mutual Fund or the Board of Directors of the Asset Management Company, made inorder to conduct the business of the Trust, the Scheme or the Asset Management Company, where such business is in the nature of discharging the duties andresponsibilities with which they have been charged. Nor will it include changes to the Scheme made in order to comply with changes in regulation with whichthe Scheme has been required to comply.

9. Underwriting by the Scheme

Subject to SEBI Regulations, the Scheme may also undertake underwriting activities in order to augment its income, after the Mutual Fund obtains a certificateof registration in terms of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Underwriters) Rules and Securities and Exchange Board of India (Underwriters)Regulations 1993 authorising it to carry on activities as underwriters. The total underwriting obligations of the Scheme, at any time, shall not exceed the totalvalue of the corpus of the Scheme together with undistributed profits lying to the credit of the Scheme. The decision to take up any underwriting commitmentshall be made as if the Scheme is actually investing in that particular security. As such, all investment restrictions and prudential guidelines relating toinvestments, individually and in aggregate as mentioned in SEBI regulations shall, in so far as may be applicable, apply to underwriting commitments whichmay be undertaken under the Scheme.

10. Borrowing by the Mutual Fund

To meet the temporary liquidity needs of the Scheme for the purpose of repurchase, redemption, or payment of income /dividend to the unit holders, the Schememay borrow upto 20% of its net assets for a period of upto six months or as may be permitted by the pertinent rules and regulations. Loans may be obtainedfrom any entity / organisation which are not specifically debarred to give loans to Mutual Funds and also loan is available from such entity / organisation atcompetitive terms. However, if loan is obtained from any associates such loans will be obtained only at extremely competitive terms at equal to or lower thanmarket rates. These loans may be secured by securities or assets of the Scheme pledged to such entity / organisation. Borrowing by the Mutual Fund on accountof the Scheme will tend to increase the impact of investment gains and losses on the NAV of the Scheme.

There were no borrowings for the financial year ended March 31, 2002, March 31, 2003 and March 31, 2004 under any of the Schemes of RMF. There wereborrowings during the financial year ended March 31, 2005.

11. Computation of Net Asset Value

The Net Asset Value (NAV) of the Units will be determined at intervals not exceeding weekly. The NAV shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula,or such other formula as may be prescribed by SEBI from time to time.

Market/Fair Value of Scheme’s Investments + Receivables + AccruedIncome + Other Assets - Accrued Expenses- Payables- Other Liabilities

NAV =___________________________________________________________________________________

Number of Units Outstanding

Example: If the applicable NAV is Rs. 10.00, sales/entry load is 2 per cent and the exit/repurchase load is 2 percent then the sales price will be Rs. 10.20 andthe repurchase price will be Rs. 9.80.

12. Valuation of Assets

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 prescribedby SEBI from time to time. The broad Valuation norms are detailed below:

1. Traded Securities:

(i) The securities shall be valued at the last quoted closing price on the stock exchange.

(ii) 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 stockexchange where the security is principally traded.

(iii) When on a particular valuation day, a security has not been traded on the Principal stock exchange, the value at which it is traded on another stock exchangemay be used.

(iv) When a security (other than debt securities) is not traded on any stock exchange on a particular valuation day, the value at which it was traded on the selectedstock exchange, as the case may be, on the earliest previous day may be used provided such date is not more than thirty days prior to valuation date.

When a debt security (other than Government Securities) is not traded on any stock exchange on any particular valuation day, the value at which it was tradedon 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 thanfifteen days prior to valuation date. When a debt security (other than Government Securities) is purchased by way of private placement, the value at which itwas bought may be used for a period of fifteen days beginning from the date of purchase.

2. Thinly Traded Securities:

(i) Thinly Traded Equity/Equity Related Securities: “When trading in an equity/equity related security (such as convertible debentures, equity warrants, etc.)in a month is both less than Rs. 5 lacs and the total volume is less than 50,000 shares, it shall be considered as a thinly traded security and valued accordingly”.

For example, if the volume of trade is 100,000 and value is Rs. 400,000, the share does not qualify as thinly traded.

Also if the volume traded is 40,000, but the value of trades is Rs. 600,000, the share does not qualify as thinly traded.

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.

(ii) 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 crore) on the principal stock exchange or any other stock exchange.

A thinly traded debt security as defined above would be valued as per the norms set for non-traded debt security.

3. Non Traded Securities: When a security (other than Government Securities) is not traded on any stock exchange for a period of thirty days prior to thevaluation date, the scrip must be treated as a ‘non traded’ security.

Valuation Of Non-Traded / Thinly Traded Securities Non traded/ thinly traded securities shall be valued “in good faith” by the AMC on the basis of thevaluation principles laid down below:

Page 25: I. HIGHLIGHTS, RISK FACTORS AND DUE · PDF fileI. HIGHLIGHTS, RISK FACTORS AND DUE DILIGENCE ... accretions and additions to the corpus. - The Mutual Fund is not guaranteeing or ...

23

(i) Non-traded / thinly traded equity securities:

(a) Based on the latest available Balance Sheet, net worth shall be calculated as follows:

(b) Net Worth per share = [share capital + reserves (excluding revaluation reserves) – Misc. expenditure and Debit Balance in P&L A/c] Divided by number ofPaid up Shares.

(c) Average capitalisation rate (P/E ratio) for the industry based upon either BSE or NSE data (which should be followed consistently and changes, if any notedwith proper justification thereof) shall be taken and discounted by 75% i.e. only 25% of the Industry average P/E shall be taken as capitalisation rate (P/E ratio).Earnings per share of the latest audited annual accounts will be considered for this purpose.

(d) The value as per the net worth value per share and the capital earning value calculated as above shall be averaged and further discounted by 10% for ill-liquidity so as to arrive at the fair value per share.

(e) In case the EPS is negative, EPS value for that year shall be taken as zero for arriving at capitalised earning.

(f) In case where the latest balance sheet of the company is not available within nine months from the close of the year, unless the accounting year is changed,the shares of such companies shall be valued at zero.

(g) In case an individual security accounts for more than 5% of the total assets of the scheme, an independent valuer shall be appointed for the valuation ofthe said security.

To determine if a security accounts for more than 5% of the total assets of the scheme, it should be valued by the procedure above and the proportion whichit bears to the total net assets of the scheme to which it belongs would be compared on the date of valuation.

(ii) (a) Non Traded /Thinly Traded Debt Securities of Upto 182 Days to Maturity: As the money market securities are valued on the basis of amortization(cost plus accrued interest till the beginning of the day plus the difference between the redemption value and the cost spread uniformly over the remainingmaturity period of the instruments) a similar process should be adopted for non-traded debt securities with residual maturity of upto 182 days, in the absenceof any other standard benchmarks in the market. Debt securities purchased with residual maturity of upto 182 days are to be valued at cost (including accruedinterest till the beginning of the day) plus the difference between the redemption value (inclusive of interest) and cost spread uniformly over the remainingmaturity period of the instrument. In case of a debt security with maturity greater than 182 days at the time of purchase, the last valuation price plus accruedinterest should be used instead of purchase cost. All other non-traded Non Government debt instruments shall be valued using the method suggested in (ii)(b).

(ii) (b) Non Traded/ Thinly Traded Debt Securities of Over 182 Days to Maturity.

For the purpose of valuation, all Non Traded Debt Securities would be classified into “Investment grade” and “Non Investment grade” securities based on theircredit ratings. The non-investment grade securities would further be classified as “Performing” and “Non Performing” assets.

• All Non Government investment grade debt securities, classified as not traded, shall be valued on yield to maturity basis as described in the applicable SEBIcircular.

• 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.

Valuation of securities with Put/Call Options: The option embedded securities would be valued as follows:

Securities with call option: The securities with call option shall be valued at the lower of the value as obtained by valuing the security to final maturity andvaluing 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 valueof the instrument.

Securities with Put option: The securities with put option shall be valued at the higher of the value as obtained by valuing the security to final maturity andvaluing 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 valueof the instruments.

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 onthe Put/Call day and would be valued accordingly.

(iii) Government securities : Government securities will be valued as per SEBI Guidelines (Crisil GILT valuer).

(iv) Illiquid Securities:

(a) Aggregate value of “illiquid securities” of scheme, which are defined as non-traded, thinly traded and unlisted equity shares, shall not exceed 15% of thetotal assets of the scheme and any illiquid securities held above 15% of the total assets shall be assigned zero value.

Provided that in case any scheme has illiquid securities in excess of 15% of total assets as on September 30, 2000 then such a scheme shall within a periodof two years bring down the ratio of illiquid securities within the prescribed limit of 15% in the following time frame:

(i) all the illiquid securities above 20% of total assets of the scheme shall be assigned zero value on September 30, 2001.

(ii) All the illiquid securities above 15% of total assets of the scheme shall be assigned zero value on September 30, 2002.

(b) 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 makingdisclosures of half yearly portfolios to the Unitholders. In the list of investments, an asterisk mark shall also be given against all such investments, which arerecognised as illiquid securities.

(c) Mutual Funds shall not be allowed to transfer illiquid securities among their schemes w.e.f. October 1, 2000.

(d) In respect of close ended funds, for the purposes of valuation of illiquid securities, the limits of 15% and 20% applicable to open-ended funds should beincreased to 20% and 25% respectively.

(e) Where a scheme has illiquid securities as at September 30, 2001 not exceeding 15% in the case of an open-ended fund and 20% in the case of close endedfund, the concessions of giving time period for reducing the illiquid security to the prescribed limits would not be applicable and at all time the excess over15% or 20% shall be assigned nil value.

v) Value of “Rights” entitlement

Until they are traded, the value of the “rights” entitlement would be calculated as: Vr = n/m x (P ex – P of )

where Vr = Value of rights n = no. of rights Offered m = no. of original shares held P ex = Ex-Rights price P of = Rights Offer price

b) Where the rights are not traded pari-passu with the existing shares, suitable adjustments would be made to the value of rights. Where it is decided not tosubscribe for the rights but to renounce them and renunciations are being traded, the rights would be valued at the renunciation value.

24

vi) Expenses and Incomes Accrued: 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 accruedon a periodic basis, provided the non-daily accrual does not affect the NAV calculations by more than 1%.

vii) Changes in securities and in number of units: Any changes in securities and in the number of units will be recorded in the books not later than the firstvaluation date following the date of transaction. If this is not possible, given the frequency of NAV disclosure, the recording may be 42 delayed up to a periodof seven days following the date of the transaction, provided as a result of such non recording, the NAV calculation shall not be affected by more than 1%.

The valuation guidelines as outlined above are as per prevailing Regulations and are subject to change from time to time in conformity with changes made bySEBI.

Valuation of Derivative Products:

i. The 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 theSecurities and Exchange Board of India (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996, as amended from time to time.

ii. The 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 as amended from time to time.

13. Accounting Policies and Standards

In accordance with SEBI Regulations, the Fund shall follow the following accounting policies currently in force and are subject to change from time to timein conformity with changes made by SEBI.

a) RCAM shall keep and maintain proper books of Accounts, records and documents, for the Scheme so- as to explain its transactions and to disclose at anypoint of time the financial position of the Scheme and in particular give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Fund.

b) For the purposes of the financial statements, the Fund shall mark all Investments in the balance sheet at market value.

However, since the unrealised gain arising out of appreciation on investments cannot be distributed, provisions shall be made for exclusion of this item whenarriving at distributable income.

c) Dividend income earned by the Scheme shall be recognized, not on the date the dividend is declared, but on the date the share is quoted on an ex-dividendbasis. For investments, which are not quoted on the stock exchange, dividend income would be recognised on the Date of Declaration.

d) In respect of all interest-bearing investments, income shall be accrued on a day to day basis as it is earned. Therefore when investments are purchased, interestpaid for the period from the last interest due date upto the date of purchase shall not be treated as cost of purchase but shall be debited to Interest RecoverableAccount. Similarly, interest received at the time of the sale for the period from the last interest due date upto the date of sale shall not be treated as an additionto sale value but credited to Interest Recoverable Account.

e) In determining the holding cost of Investments and the gains or loss on sale of Investments, the “average cost” method shall be followed.

f) Transaction for purchase or sale of investments shall be recognised as of the trade date and not as of the settlement date, so that the effect of all investmentstraded during the financial year are recorded and reflected in the financial statements for that year. Where investment transactions take place outside the StockMarket, for e.g. acquisitions through private placements or purchases or sales through private treaty the transaction shall be recorded, in the event of the purchase,as of the date on which the Scheme obtains an enforceable obligation to pay the price or in the event of the sale, when the Scheme obtains an enforceable rightto collect the proceeds of sale or an enforceable obligation to deliver the instruments sold.

h) Where income receivable on investments has been accrued and has not been received for period of 12 months beyond the due date, provision should be madeby debit to the revenue account for the income so accrued and no further accrual of income shall be made in respect of such investment.

i) In the case of a close -ended Scheme which provide unitholders the option for an early redemption or repurchase of their own units, the par value of theunits have to be debited to the Capital Account and the difference between the purchase price and the par value of the unit, if positive, shall be credited toreserves and if negative should be debited to reserves.

j) The cost of investments acquired or purchased should include brokerage, stamp charges and any charge customarily included in the brokers bought note. Inrespect of privately placed debt instruments any front-end discount offered shall be reduced from the cost of the investment.

k) Underwriting commission should be recognised as revenue only when there is no devolvement on the Scheme. When there is devolvement on the Scheme,the full underwriting commission received and not merely the portion applicable to the devolvement shall be reduced from the cost of investment.

The accounting policies and standards outlined above are as per the existing Regulations and are subject to change as per changes in the Regulations.

Guidelines for Identification and Provisioning for Non Performing Assets (Debt Securities) For Mutual Funds:

(A) Definition of a Non Performing Asset (NPA): An ‘asset’ shall be classified as non performing, if the interest and/or principal amount have not been receivedor remained outstanding for one quarter from the day such income / installment has fallen due.

(B) Effective date for classification and provisioning of NPAs: The definition of NPA may be applied after a quarter past due date of the interest. For e.g.if the due date for interest is 31.12.2002, it will be classified as NPA from 01.04.2003.

(C) Treatment of income accrued on the NPA and further accruals : After the expiry of the 1 st quarter from the date the income has fallen due, there willbe no further interest accrual on the asset i.e. if the due date for interest falls on 31.12.2002 and if the interest is not received, accrual will continue till31.03.2003 after which there will be no further accrual of income. In short, taking the above example, from the beginning of the 2nd quarter there will be nofurther accrual on income.

On classification of the asset as NPA from a quarter past due date of interest, all interest accrued and recognized in the books of accounts of the Fund till thedate, should be provided for. For e.g. if interest income falls due on 31.12.2002, accrual will continue till 31.03.2003 even if the income as on 31.12.2002 hasnot been received. Further, no accrual will be done from 01.04.2003 onwards. Full provision will also be made for interest accrued and outstanding as on31.12.2002.

(D) Provision for NPAs – Debt Securities : Both secured and unsecured investments once they are recognized as NPAs call for provisioning in the same mannerand where these are related to close ended scheme the phasing would be such that to ensure full provisioning prior to the closure of the scheme or the scheduledphasing which ever is earlier.

The value of the asset must be provided in the following manner or earlier at the discretion of the fund. Fund will not have discretion to extend the period ofprovisioning. The provisioning against the principal amount or installments should be made at the following rates irrespective of whether the principal is duefor repayment or not.

• 10% of the book value of the asset should be provided for after 6 months past due date of interest i.e. 3 months form the date of classification of the assetas NPA.

• 20% of the book value of the asset should be provided for after 9 months past due date of interest i.e. 6 months from the date of classification of the asset

Page 27: I. HIGHLIGHTS, RISK FACTORS AND DUE · PDF fileI. HIGHLIGHTS, RISK FACTORS AND DUE DILIGENCE ... accretions and additions to the corpus. - The Mutual Fund is not guaranteeing or ...

25

as NPA.

• Another 20% of the book value of the assets should be provided for after 12 months past due date of interest i.e. 9 months form the date of classification ofthe asset as NPA.

• Another 25% of the book value of the assets should be provided for after 15 months past due date of interest i.e. 12 months from the date of classificationof the asset as NPA.

• The balance 25% of the book value of the asset should be provided for after 18 months past due date of the interest i.e. 15 months form the date of classificationof the assets as NPA.

Book value for the purpose of provisioning for NPAs shall be taken as a value determined as per the prescribed valuation method.

(E) Reclassification of assets: Upon reclassification of assets as ‘performing assets’:

1. In case a company has fully cleared all the arrears of interest, the interest provisions can be written back in full.

2. The asset will be reclassified as performing on clearance of all interest arrears and if the debt is regularly serviced over the next two quarters.

3. In case the company has fully cleared all the arrears of interest, the interest not credited on accrual basis would be credited at the time of receipt.

4. The provision made for the principal amount can be written back in the following manner: -

• 100% of the asset provided for in the books will be written back at the end of the 2 nd quarter where the provision of principal was made due to the interestdefaults only.

• 50% of the asset provided for in the books will be written back at the end of the 2 nd quarter and 25% after every subsequent quarter where both installmentsand interest were in default earlier.

5. An asset is reclassified as ‘standard asset’ only when both overdue interest and overdue installments are paid in full and there is satisfactory performancefor a subsequent period of 6 months.

(F) Receipt of past dues: When the fund has received income/principal amount after their classifications as NPAs;

For the next 2 quarters, income should be recognized on cash basis and thereafter on accrual basis. The asset will be continued to be classified as NPA for thesetwo quarters.

During this period of two quarters although the asset is classified as NPA no provision needs to be made for the principal if the same is not due and outstanding

If part payment is received towards principal, the asset continues to be classified as NPA and provisions are continued as per the norms set at (D) above. Anyexcess provision will be written back.

Some of the investments made by mutual funds may become non-performing (NPAs) or illiquid at the time of maturity/ closure of schemes. In due course oftime, these NPAs and illiquid securities may be realised by the mutual funds i.e. after the winding up of the schemes. Such amount would be distributed, ifit is substantial and is realised within two years, to the old investors. In case the amount is not substantial or it is realised after two years, it may be transferredto the Investor Education Fund maintained by each mutual fund as specified in SEBI circular MFD/CIR/9/120/2000 dated November 24, 2000. The decisionas to the determination of substantial amount shall be taken by the Trustee of mutual funds after considering the relevant factors.

(G) Classification of Deep Discount Bonds as NPAs: Investments in Deep Discount Bonds can be classified as NPAs, if any two of the following conditionsare satisfied:

• If the rating of the Bond comes down to grade ‘BB’ or below.

• If the company is defaulting in their commitments in respect of other assets, if available.

• Full Net worth erosion.

Provision should be made as per the norms set at (D) above as soon as the asset is classified as NPA. Full provision can be made if the rating comes downto grade ‘D’

(H) Reschedulement of an asset: In case any company defaults either interest or principal amount and the fund has accepted a re-schedulement of the scheduleof payments, then the following practice may be adhered to:

(i) In case it is a first re-schedulement and only interest is in default, the status of the asset namely, ‘NPA’ may be continued and existing provisions shouldnot be written back.

a) Direct credit of redemption proceeds to the bank account of unitholders : The Fund is arranging with select bankers to enable direct credits of redemptionproceeds into the bank accounts of the investors at these banks. The names of such banks will be intimated to the unitholders subsequently.

As per the directive issued by SEBI, it is mandatory for an investor to declare his / her bank account number and accordingly, investors are requested to givetheir bank account details in the application form.

The Mutual Fund, on a best effort basis, and after scrutinising the names of the banks where unitholders have their accounts, will allow direct credit to theunitholders’ bank accounts.

b) Unitholders who do not wish to avail the above mentioned direct credit facility will receive redemption proceeds by cheques, marked “A/c. Payee only” and drawnin the name of the sole holder / first-named holder (as determined by the records of the Registrar). The Bank Name and Bank Account No., as specified in the Registrar’srecords, will be mentioned in the cheque. In case any investor does not give his bank details, for any reason whatsoever, the Fund shall in no way be responsiblefor any loss, on payment made without the Payee Bank details in the instrument. The cheques will be payable at par in all the cities where such facility is availablewith the specified bankers. For other cities, Demand Drafts will be issued payable at the city of his residence after deducting the Demand Draft charges.

Non Resident InvestorsIn case of non-resident investors, redemption proceeds will be remitted depending upon the source of investment as follows:

(a) Repatriation BasisWhen units have been purchased through remittance in foreign exchange from abroad by cheque / draft issued from proceeds of the unitholders’ FCNR depositor from funds held in the unitholders’ Non Resident (External) account kept in India, the proceeds can be remitted to the unitholder in foreign currency (anyexchange rate fluctuation will be borne by the unitholder). The proceeds can also be sent to his Indian address for crediting to his NRE / FCNR / non-resident(Ordinary) account or NRSR account, if desired by the unitholder.

(b) Non Repatriation Basisa) When units have been purchased from funds held in the unitholders’ non-resident (Ordinary) account, the proceeds will be sent to the unitholders’ Indianaddress for crediting to the unitholders’ non-resident (Ordinary) account / NRSR account.

b) When units have been purchased from funds held in the unitholders’ NRSR account, the proceeds will be sent to the Indian address for crediting to theunitholders’ NRSR account.

The Fund may make other arrangements for effecting payment of redemption proceeds in future.

Right to Limit Redemption

RCAM may, in consultation with the Trustees, in the larger interest of the Unitholders of the Scheme under this Offer Document and keeping in view the unforeseencircumstances / unusual market conditions, limit the total number of Units which may be redeemed on any Working Day to 5% of the total number of Units thenissued and outstanding under any Scheme / Plan or such other percentage as the AMC may determine.
