    A. Risk Factors

    Standard Risk Factors: Investment in Mutual Fund Units involves investment risks such

    as trading volumes, settlement risk, liquidity risk, default risk

    including the possible loss of principal. As the price / value / interest rates of the securities in which the

    scheme invests fluctuates, the value of your investment in thescheme may go up or down. The value of investments may beaffected, inter-alia, by changes in the market, interest rates,changes in credit rating, trading volumes, settlement periodsand transfer procedures; the NAV is also exposed toPrice/Interest-Rate Risk and Credit Risk and may be affectedinter-alia, by government policy, volatility and liquidity in themoney markets and pressure on the exchange rate of the rupee

    Past performance of the Sponsor/AMC/Mutual Fund does notguarantee future performance of the scheme.

    Kotak Gold Fund is only name of the scheme, and does not inany manner indicate either the quality of the scheme or itsfuture prospects and returns.

    The sponsor is not responsible or liable for any loss resultingfrom the operation of the scheme beyond the initialcontribution of Rs.2,50,000 made by it towards setting up theFund.

    The present scheme is not a guaranteed or assured returnscheme.

    Scheme Specific Risk Factors The Scheme will predominantly invest in units of Kotak Gold

    ETF. Hence the Scheme's performance may depend upon theperformance of the Kotak Gold ETF. Any change in theinvestment policies or the fundamental attributes of theunderlying scheme could affect the performance of theScheme.

    The deviation in performance between the scheme & theunderlying scheme i.e. Kotak Gold ETF could also be on account

    of cash flows which on an average takes 5 days as per currentoperational procedure. The investors of the Scheme will bear dual recurring expenses

    and possibly dual loads, viz, those of the Scheme and those ofthe underlying Scheme. Hence the investor under the Schememay receive lower pre-tax returns than what they could havereceived if they had invested directly in the underlying Schemein the same proportion.

    The Portfolio disclosure of the Scheme will be limited toproviding the particulars of the underlying scheme where theScheme has invested and will not include the investments madeby the underlying Scheme. However, as the scheme proposes toinvest in Kotak Gold ETF, the underlying assets will by and largebe physical gold.

    The value (price) of gold may fluctuate for several reasons andall such fluctuations will result in changes in the NAV of units

    under the scheme. The factors that may affect the price of gold,among other things, include demand and supply for gold inIndia and in the global market, Indian and Foreign exchangerates, Interest rates, Inflation trends, trading in gold ascommodity, legal restrictions on the movement/trade of goldthat may be imposed by RBI, Government of India or countriesthat supply or purchase gold to/from India, trends andrestrictions on import/export of golden jewellery in and out ofIndia, etc.

    The fund assets are predominantly invested in Kotak Gold ETFand valued at the market price of the said units on the principalexchange. The same may be at a variance to the underlyingNAV of the fund, due to market expectations, demand supplyof the units, etc .To that extent the performance of scheme shallbe at variance with that of the underlying scheme.

    The endevaour would always be to get cash on redemptions

    from the underlying funds. However, in case the underlyingfund is unable to sell for any reason, and delivers physical gold,there could be delay in payment of redemptions proceedspending such realization.

    The fund will subscribe according to the value equivalent to unitcreation size as applicable for Kotak Gold ETF. Whensubscriptions received are not adequate enough to invest increation unit size, the subscriptions may be deployed in debtand money market instruments which will have a different

    return profile compared to gold returns profile. Alternatively theETF units may be acquired from the stock exchanges where theprice quoted may be at variance with the underlying NAV,resulting in a higher acquisition costs.

    SPECIFIC RISKS IN DEBT MARKETS AND CAPITAL MARKETS

    Investments in Financial Instruments are faced with the followingkinds of risks.

    Risks associated with Debt / Money Markets (i.e. Markets in whichInterest bearing Securities or Discounted Instruments are traded)

    a) Credit Risk:Securities carry a Credit risk of repayment of principal or interest bythe borrower. This risk depends on micro-economic factors such asfinancial soundness and ability of the borrower as also macro-economic factors such as Industry performance, Competition fromImports, Competitiveness of Exports, Input costs, Trade barriers,Favourability of Foreign Currency conversion rates, etc.

    Credit risks of most issuers of Debt securities are rated byIndependent and professionally run rating agencies. Ratings ofCredit issued by these agencies typically range from "AAA" (readas "Triple A" denoting "Highest Safety") to "D" (denoting"Default"), with about 6 distinct ratings between the twoextremes.

    The highest credit rating (i.e. lowest credit risk) commands a lowyield for the borrower. Conversely, the lowest credit rated borrowercan raise funds at a relatively higher cost. On account of a highercredit risk for lower rated borrowers lenders prefer higher ratedinstruments further justifying the lower yields.

    b) Price-Risk or Interest-Rate Risk:From the perspective of coupon rates, Debt securities can beclassified in two categories, i.e., Fixed Income bearing Securitiesand Floating Rate Securities. In Fixed Income Bearing Securities, theCoupon rate is determined at the time of investment andpaid/received at the predetermined frequency. In the Floating RateSecurities, on the other hand, the coupon rate changes - 'floats' -with the underlying benchmark rate, e.g., MIBOR, 1 yr. TreasuryBill.

    Fixed Income Securities (such as Government Securities, bonds,debentures and money market instruments) where a fixed return isoffered, run price-risk. Generally, when interest rates rise, prices of

    fixed income securities fall and when interest rates drop, the pricesincrease. The extent of fall or rise in the prices is a function of theexisting coupon, the payment-frequency of such coupon, days tomaturity and the increase or decrease in the level of interest rates.The prices of Government Securities (existing and new) will beinfluenced only by movement in interest rates in the financialsystem. Whereas, in the case of corporate or institutional fixedincome securities, such as bonds or debentures, prices areinfluenced not only by the change in interest rates but also by creditrating of the security and liquidity thereof.

    Floating rate securities issued by a government (coupon linked totreasury bill benchmark or a real return inflation linked bond) havethe least sensitivity to interest rate movements, as compared toother securities. The Government of India has already issued a fewsuch securities and the Investment Manager believes that such

    securities may become available in future as well. These securitiescan play an important role in minimizing interest rate risk on aportfolio.

    c) Risk of Rating Migration:The following table illustrates the impact of change of rating (credit

    worthiness) on the price of a hypothetical AA rated security with amaturity period of 3 years, a coupon of 10.00% p.a. and a marketvalue of Rs. 100. If it is downgraded to A category, whichcommands a market yield of, say, 11.00% p.a., its market valuewould drop to Rs. 97.53 (i.e. 2.47%) If the security is up-graded toAAA category which commands a market yield of, say, 9.00% p.a.its market value would increase to Rs102.51 (i.e. by 2.51%). Thefigures shown in the table are only indicative and are intended todemonstrate how the price of a security can be affected by changein credit rating.

    d) Basis Risk:During the life of floating rate security or a swap the underlyingbenchmark index may become less active and may not capture theactual movement in the interest rates or at times the benchmarkmay cease to exist. These types of events may result in loss of valuein the portfolio. Where swaps are used to hedge an underlyingfixed income security, basis risk could arise when the fixed incomeyield curve moves differently from that of the swap benchmarkcurve.e) Spread Risk:

    In a floating rate security the coupon is expressed in terms of aspread or mark up over the benchmark rate. However dependingupon the market conditions the spreads may move adversely orfavourably leading to fluctuation in NAV.f) Reinvestment Risk:Investments in fixed income securities may carry reinvestment riskas interest rates prevailing on the interest or maturity due datesmay differ from the original coupon of the bond. Consequently theproceeds may get invested at a lower rate.g) Liquidity Risk:The corporate debt market is relatively illiquid vis-a- vis the

    government securities market. There could therefore be difficultiesin exiting from corporate bonds in times of uncertainties. Liquidityin a scheme therefore may suffer. Even though the GovernmentSecurities market is more liquid compared to that of other debtinstruments, on occasions, there could be difficulties in transactingin the market due to extreme volatility or unusual constriction inmarket volumes or on occasions when an unusually largetransaction has to be put through. In view of this, redemption maybe limited or suspended after approval from the Boards of Directorsof the AMC and the Trustee, under certain circumstances asdescribed in the Statement of Additional Information (SAI).

    B. REQUIREMENT OF MINIMUM INVESTORS IN THE SCHEMEThe Scheme/Plan shall have a minimum of 20 investors and nosingle investor shall account for more than 25% of the corpus ofthe Scheme/Plan(s). However, if such limit is breached during theNFO of the Scheme, the Fund will endeavour to ensure that withina period of three months or the end of the succeeding calendarquarter from the close of the NFO of the Scheme, whichever isearlier, the Scheme complies with these two conditions. In case theScheme / Plan(s) does not have a minimum of 20 investors in thestipulated period, the provisions of Regulation 39(2)(c) of the SEBI(MF) Regulations would become applicable automatically withoutany reference from SEBI and accordingly the Scheme / Plan(s) shallbe wound up and the units would be redeemed at applicable NAV.The two conditions mentioned above shall also be complied within

    each subsequent calendar quarter thereafter, on an average basis,as specified by SEBI. If there is a breach of the 25% limit by anyinvestor over the quarter, a rebalancing period of one month wouldbe allowed and thereafter the investor who is in breach of the ruleshall be given 15 days notice to redeem his exposure over the 25 %limit. Failure on the part of the said investor to redeem his exposureover the 25 % limit within the aforesaid 15 days would lead toautomatic redemption by the Mutual Fund on the applicable NetAsset Value on the 15th day of the notice period. The Fund shalladhere to the requirements prescribed by SEBI from time to time inthis regard.

    KOTAK GOLD FUND

    A. Type of the scheme:

    An open-ended Fund of Funds

    B. What is the investment objective of the scheme?

    The investment objective of the scheme is to generate returns byinvesting in units of Kotak Gold ETF

    There is no assurance that the investment objective of theScheme will be realised

    C. How will the scheme allocate its assets?

    The asset allocation under the Scheme, under normalcircumstances, will be as follows:

    *The Fund Manager may invest in Liquid Schemes of KotakMahindra Mutual Fund. However, the Fund Manager may investin any other scheme of a mutual fund registered with SEBI, whichinvest predominantly in the money market securities.

    When the asset allocation falls outside the range, review andrebalancing will be conducted in 5 working days.

    The scheme may either invest directly with the underlying fundi.e. Kotak Gold ETF in creation unit size or through the secondarymarket or a combination of both depending on the marketdynamics keeping investors interest in mind.

    The scheme will not invest in securitized debt.

    D. Where will the scheme invest?

    Subject to the Regulations, the amount collected under thisscheme can be invested in any (but not exclusively) of thefollowing securities/ debt instruments:(i) Units of Kotak Gold ETF(ii) Reverse Repos in such Government Securities as may be

    permitted from time to time.(iii) Collateralized Borrowing and Lending Obligation (CBLO)(iv) Short Term Deposits of banks (both public and private

    sector) as may be permitted from time to time.(v) Money market instruments permitted by SEBI/RBI, having

    maturities of up to 91 days or in alternative investment for

    the CBLO/ Repo as may be provided by RBI to meet theliquidity requirements.

    (vi) Any other instruments / securities, which in the opinion ofthe fund manger would suit the investment objective of thescheme subject to compliance with extant Regulations.

    The securities/debt instruments mentioned above could be listedor unlisted, secured or unsecured, rated or unrated and ofvarying maturities and other terms of issue. The securities may beacquired through Initial Public Offerings (IPOs), secondary marketoperations, private placement, rights offer or negotiated deals.The Schemes may also enter into repurchase and reverserepurchase obligations in all securities held by it as perguidelines/regulations applicable to such transactions.

    E. What are the investment strategies?

    To achieve the investment objective, the scheme willpredominantly invest in units of Kotak Gold ETF. The schemewould also invest in debt and money market instruments asstated in the asset allocation table. The investment strategywould largely be passive in nature.

    The AMC shall endeavor that the returns of Kotak Gold Fund will

    replicate the returns generated by the underlying ETF and is notexpected to deviate more than 2%, on an annualized basis net ofrecurring expenses in the Scheme. This deviation would mostlybe on account of receipt of cashflows which currently takes 5days as per current operational procedures.

    The table shows below the impact that could happen on fundperformance as a result of delay in receipt of money andconsequent investments in Kotak Gold ETF over previous sixmonths ending on 31st Jan, 2011.

    The assumption is that entire corpus is delayed by the no. of daystabulated above. But in reality, since the daily subscription maynot be material to the total corpus of the fund the impact wouldnot be material. Moreover subscriptions over periods of timewould normally be expected to iron out the deviations.

    The fund would endeavor to maintain the indicated assetallocation as mentioned above. However there could be a

    variance in the asset allocation on account of receipt of cashflows, which on an average takes 5 business days to clear giventhe existing operational procedure.

    Benefits of investing in Gold Fund of Fund:

    Gold has been identified as an investment vehicle as it isconsidered to be a safe haven, an effective tool for portfoliodiversification and as an inflation hedge. There are variousmethods of investing into gold such as physical gold fromjewelers, from banks & Gold ETF units. Investing into Kotak GoldFund would have the following benefits:

    Demat account is not a pre-requisite as is in the case of ETF's Any Investor can invest in this scheme just like any othermutual fund and do not require Demat account

    Facility of Systematic Investment Plan This would allow aconvenient way of regular investments to retail investors

    be cost efficient for retail investors in comparison to investingin a Gold ETF through Demat account. The typical chargesincurred is detailed below

    Investment of Rs. 10,000 for 1 year could incur thefollowing charges for a retail investor

    Source: the charges are actual charges levied to retail investors byHDFC Securities, Kotak Securities, ICICI Direct & HSBC InvestDirect

    *Annual Scheme Recurring Expenses as shown above is as perthe expense levied to Kotak Gold ETF which is 1% p.a. as on 31stDecember 2010, thereby the expense charged to Kotak GoldFund would be 0.50% as the total expense under both theschemes would not exceed 1.5% p.a.

    ** Investment in Kotak Gold Fund 10000*0.5% + Kotak GoldFund Investing in Kotak Gold ETF 10000*1%= 50+100=150

    Tracking ErrorThe fund assets are predominantly invested in Kotak Gold ETFand which is valued at the market price of the said units on theprincipal exchange. The same may be at a variance to theunderlying NAV of the fund.

    Tracking error can also be caused by late realization of cheques/demand drafts. It should be noted that the outstation chequesare not acceptable as per the terms of the SID. However chequesin the normal course of banking would take 2/3 days forrealization. Hence the investment can be done only on the 2nd or3rd day depending upon the timing of the credit in the schemeaccount.

    Cost efficient for Investors: Investing in Kotak Gold Fund mayA) Banking of FundsFollowing are the various modes of payments forPurchase/Additional purchases and SIP transactions for KotakGold Fund

    The cash flow through various modes of acceptance will beanalyzed on a daily basis. Investment into Kotak Gold ETF unitswould be on the basis of this cashflow analysis &subscription/redemption request received. Subsequentdeployment into Kotak Gold ETF would also be based on this

    analysis. The deployment will be carefully planned on the basis ofthe mode of acceptance of instrument with an objective tomoderate tracking error.

    To illustrate A cheque of Rs. 10,000 received on T day in theFund would result in the investor getting the NAV of T day inKotak Gold Fund as per extant guidelines. The said cheque wouldbe realized only on T+2/3 and hence the fund would invest inKotak Gold ETF units on T+2/3 as the case may be. There could beunderlying price movements in Kotak Gold ETF between T dayand T+2/3 day. This could result in tracking error. However, overperiods of time it may get neutralized.

    To that extent the performance of scheme shall be at variance

    with that of the underlying scheme.

    Risk Mitigation for Tracking Error

    Also Kotak Gold ETF could have tracking error with respect toprice of physical gold which may add to the schemes trackingerror with its benchmark i.e. physical gold due to various factorsincluding but not limited to:

    1. Delay in the purchase or sale of gold due toa. Illiquidity of gold,b. Delay in realization of sale proceeds,c. Creating a lot size to buy the required amount of gold

    Risk Mitigation: - Gold is a fairly liquid asset and hence in normal circumstances

    would be available for purchase and sale at all points of time. The AMC has a robust process of retrieving speedily the daily

    collections at various RTA locations. The RTA has been advisedto bank cheques as expeditiously as possible. The AMC tracksthe daily cash flows and the Fund Managers towards promptdeployment, subject to market conditions.

    Even if the collections reported on a day are less than theminimum lot size, the AMC can procure the required quantitythru open market purchases. The AMC has appointed

    Authorised Participants under the Kotak Gold ETF scheme toensure liquidity in the market place for the ETF units.

    2. The scheme may buy or sell the gold at different points oftime during the trading session at the then prevailingprices which may not correspond to its closing prices.

    Risk Mitigation:- Investment is based on the judgment of the Fund Manager,

    and he would work towards furtherance of the unitholdersinterest.

    3. The potential for trades to fail, which may result in theScheme not having acquired gold at a price necessary totrack the benchmark price.

    Risk Mitigation:- Units procured thru exchanges have an auction process

    inbuilt into them, and hence the aforesaid risk is automaticallymitigated.

    Even for lot size purchases, the AMC deals with multiplereputed banks/authorized participants whereby theprobability of default in trades are remote.

    4. The holding of a cash position and accrued income priorto distribution of income and payment of accruedexpenses.

    Risk Mitigation:- The fund manager would endeavour to keep cash to the

    minimal, subject to the asset allocation table referred toabove, the fund has also proposed a minimal expenses ratio,thereby reducing the extent of tracking error.

    5. Execution of large buy / sell orders, and disinvestments tomeet redemptions, recurring expenses, dividend payoutsetc.

    Risk Mitigation:- These deals are done at best possible prices available at the

    time of investments. Distortions, if any would automaticallyget corrected over periods of time.

    6. Transaction cost (including taxes and insurance premium)and recurring expenses

    Risk Mitigation:- The Fund seeks to keep it to the minimal to reduce the impact

    of the tracking error.

    Given the structure of Kotak Gold ETF, the AMC expects thetracking error to be lower. The AMC will endeavor to keep thetracking error as low as possible. Under normal circumstances,such tracking errors are not expected to exceed 2% per annum.However this may vary when the markets are very volatile.

    The tracking error for Kotak Gold ETF for the last 3 months is as under:

    Risk Control Measures for investment strategyThe fund endeavours to invest in Gold ETFs. Since fund managerrisk in these schemes is not relevant, risk control measures forinvestment strategy pertain to managing operational riskfocused on minimizing tracking error.

    Risk Mitigation measures for portfolio volatilityGold ETFs being passively managed carry lesser risk compared toactive management. The underlying ETF scheme(s) where thefund intends to invest follow the underlying price of gold andtherefore the level of portfolio volatility would be same as that ofthe underlying gold price. There is no additional volatility onaccount of fund manager decision. The fund manager wouldalso endeavour minimal cash levels to keep performancedeviation from the underlying ETF's to minimal.

    Risk mitigation measures for managing liquidityGold ETFs invest in physical gold which satisfy the norms of'Good Delivery' as defined by London Bullion Marketsassociation. Liquidity issues are not envisaged as gold is a globallytraded commodity and thereby very liquid. There are also

    designated Authorised Participants who facilitate liquidity on theexchange.

    Portfolio Turnover

    Since the fund is passively managed and invests only in gold,portfolio turnover is expected to be very low as there would notbe an active churn. Turnover would only be a result of inflows andoutflows on a daily basis since this is an open ended scheme.

    F. Fundamental attributes

    Following are the fundamental attributes of the scheme, in termsof Regulation 18 (15A) of SEBI (MF) Regulations:

    (i) Type of the scheme(ii) Investment Objective(iii) Investment Pattern: As defined under the heading How

    The Unitholders are given an option for a period of 30 days toexit at the prevailing Net Asset Value without any exit load

    G. How will the scheme benchmark its performance?

    The Scheme's performance will be benchmarked against theprice of physical gold.

    The scheme proposes to generate returns in line with returnsgenerated by investment in physical gold. As there are no indicesavailable to benchmark against, it is proposed to benchmark theperformance of this scheme against the price of physical gold.For the convenience of unit holders, the price of gold will bedisplayed on the www.kotakmutual.com
