I. HIGHLIGHTS, RISK FACTORS AND DUE DILIGENCE

HIGHLIGHTS 1. The Sponsor of the Mutual Fund is Reliance Capital Limited (RCL) having a net worth of over

Rs.4122.46 crores as on March 31, 2006.

2. Reliance Capital Asset Management Ltd. (RCAML) is the Investment Manager for the schemes of Reliance Mutual Fund, managing assets of over Rs. 39,000 crores of over 3 million unit holders’ accounts as on January 31, 2007.

3. Reliance Gold Exchange Traded Fund (“RGETF”) is an open ended Gold ETF of Reliance Mutual Fund and will be listed on NSE and any other stock exchange(s) as may be decided by the Reliance Capital Asset Management Ltd. after the allotment of the New Fund Offer period in the form of an Exchange Traded Fund (“ETF”) tracking the domestic price of gold through investments in physical gold, money market instruments, and other securities as may be permitted by SEBI from time to time.

4. RGETF is designed to provide returns that closely correspond to the returns provided by the domestic price of gold.

5. Each unit of RGETF being offered will have a face value of Rs.100/-. The number of units allotted would be the total amount invested divided by the Allotment Price. Allotment price of RGETF per unit will be based on the cost of investments. In other words, RGETF being offered will have a face value of Rs100/- each and will be issued at a premium equivalent to the difference between the allotment price and the face value of Rs. 100/-.

6. After the NFO, “RGETF” will be listed on NSE and any other stock exchange(s) as may be decided by the Reliance AMC after the closure of the New Fund Offer period, subsequent buying or selling by investors can be made from the secondary market on the NSE. RGETF can be bought/sold like any other stock on the Exchange. The minimum number of units that can be bought or sold is 1 (one) unit. Alternatively Authorised Participant and Large Investors can directly buy /sell in blocks from the fund in ‘Creation Unit’ Size, as defined below.

7. The Authorised Participants and Large Investors can directly buy/sell with the Fund in Creation Units. As RGETF can be bought/sold directly from the Fund, this mechanism provides efficient arbitrage between the traded prices and the NAV, thereby reducing the incidence of RGETF being traded at premium/discounts to NAV. RGETF will be available in dematerialized form. This will help in consolidating with other portfolio holdings and will eliminate need for physical storage thereby eliminating risks. The applicant under the Scheme will be required to have a beneficiary account with a Depository Participant of NSDL/CDSL and will be required to indicate in the application the DP’s name, DP ID Number and its beneficiary account number with DP. Since RGETF are to be issued / repurchased and traded compulsorily in dematerialized form, no request for rematerialisation of RMF will be accepted.

8. Investment Objective:

The investment objective is to seek to provide returns that closely correspond to returns provided by price of gold through investment in physical Gold and Gold related securities. However, the performance of the scheme may differ from that of the domestic prices of Gold due to expenses and or other related factors.

9. Investment Strategy: The Fund manager would use a ‘passive’ approach to try and achieve the investment objective of the Scheme. The scheme does not try to ‘‘beat’’ the gold market but aims to replicate the returns which commensurate the returns generated by gold during that period. It will however endeavor to seek temporary defensive positions when markets decline or appear over valued to the extent of its investment in money market or other debt securities.

Page 7: Reliancegold Etf Offer Document

7

The fund manager would not make any judgment about the investment merit of a particular security nor will it attempt to apply any economic, financial or market analysis. This style of Passive Fund Management would eliminate the risks involved with active management with regard to over / underperformance vis-à-vis a benchmark.

10. Transparency: • The AMC will calculate and disclose the first NAV not later than 30 days from the closure of New

Fund Offer Period. Subsequently, the NAV will be calculated and uploaded on the AMFI site by 9.00 pm on every Working Day and also Reliance Mutual Fund’s website i.e. www.reliancemutual.com. The NAV shall be released to at least two daily newspapers to be published on the next day.

• Publication of abridged half-yearly un-audited financial results in the newspapers or as may be prescribed under the Regulations from time to time.

• Communication of portfolio on a half-yearly basis to the Unit holders directly or through the publications or as may be prescribed under the Regulations from time to time.

• Dispatch of the annual reports of the respective Scheme within the stipulated period as required under the Regulations.

11. Liquidity:

All investors including Authorised Participants, Large Investors and other investors may sell their units in the stock exchange(s) on which these units are listed on all the trading days of the stock exchange. Alternatively Authorised Participant and Large Investors can directly buy /sell in blocks from the fund in ‘Creation Unit’ Size, as defined below.

12. Switch Facility: Switch-in into RGETF from other schemes will be allowed during the New Fund

Offer period at the applicable loads. 13. Repatriation: Full Repatriation benefits would be available to NRIs/FIIs subject to applicable

conditions.

14. Benefits of RGETF: The Macro view: • India is a major player in the global gold market, both through ownership and annual flow of

purchases of gold, and through enormous success in the labour-intensive export-oriented jewellery business.

• Modernisation of the gold market has been a long-standing policy goal in India. A key element of modernising any financial market is shifting away from closed clubs of dealers engaging in private transactions and bilateral negotiation, to a framework with anonymous trading taking place between participants from all across the country, all of whom are on a level playing field. An essential feature of modernisation of finance is the removal of entry barriers, so that it is easy for finance companies to enter and exit any kind of financial activity. The Gold ETF promises to be a step forward for the gold spot market in offering such a trading framework, characterised by nationwide participation by households and without entry barriers faced by finance companies.

• The Gold ETF is a gold spot instrument, which is distinct from gold futures. However, there are synergies between both initiatives, since they both strengthen different aspects of the gold market. A strong gold ETF market helps to strengthen the gold futures market, and vice versa.

The Micro View From the narrow viewpoint of a household also, the RGETF offers many benefits. Gold is a part of the portfolio of millions of households in the country. For households, the gold ETF offers the following advantages:

Page 8: Reliancegold Etf Offer Document

8

• Zero concerns about physical security, theft or adulteration when faced with the tasks of custody and spot transactions.

• A transparent secondary market, which will offer reduced transactions costs when compared with existing over the counter (“OTC”) transactions on the gold spot market. The existing unregulated spot market suffers from acute problems of wide bid -offer spreads, and penalisation of customers on questions of purity.

• Once banks and other moneylenders accept the transparency and liquidity of the Gold ETF, it would become possible to pledge Gold ETF units as collateral for loans. This would greatly assist many low-income households by easing the credit constraints that they face. A household which may possess physical gold today would, in comparison, obtain more limited credit access owing to concerns about the purity and liquidity of the physical gold. In contrast, the Gold ETF units will eliminate concerns about purity, and will offer assured secondary market liquidity.

• RGETF is likely to trade in units which correspond to 1 gram of gold. This would make transactions accessible to a large number of households who presently find it difficult to do transactions of 1 gram or 1 tola of gold.

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 the capital market / bullion market. • Past performance of the Sponsor/AMC/Mutual Fund is not indicative of the future performance of

the Scheme. • Investors in the scheme are not being offered any guaranteed or assured returns. • The investment decision made by the AMC may not always be profitable. • Reliance Gold Exchange Traded Fund is only the name of the Scheme and does not in any manner

indicate either the quality of the Scheme; it's future prospects or 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 setting up 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, though it has every intention of doing so. All dividend distributions are subject to the availabilty of distributable surplus in the Scheme.

SCHEME SPECIFIC RISK FACTORS: • Market Risk: 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. The NAV of the Scheme will react to the prices of gold, Gold Related Instruments and stock market movements. The Unit holder could lose money over short periods due to fluctuation in the NAV of the Scheme in response to factors such as economic and political developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in stock prices market movements, and over longer periods during market downturns.

• Additionally, the prices of gold may be affected by several factors such as global gold supply and demand, investors’ expectations with respect to the rate of inflation, currency exchange rates, interest rates, etc. Crises may motivate large-scale sales of gold, which could decrease the domestic price of gold. Some of the key factors affecting gold prices are:

a. Central banks’ sale: central banks across the world hold a part of their reserves in gold.

The quantum of their sale in the market is one of the major determinants of gold prices. A higher supply than anticipated would lead to subdued gold prices and vice versa. Central banks buy gold to augment their existing reserves and to diversify from other asset classes. This acts as a support factor for gold prices.

b. Producer mining interest: Bringing new mines on-line is a time consuming and at times economically prohibitive process that adds years onto potential supply increases from mining production. On the other hand, lower production has a positive effect on gold prices. Conversely excessive production capacities would lead to a downward movement in gold prices as the supply goes up.

c. Macro-economic factors: A weakening dollar, high inflation, the massive US trade deficits all act in favor of gold prices. The global trend of rising interest rates also had a positive impact on gold prices. Gold being regarded as a physical asset would lose its luster in a deflationary environment as gold is used effectively as an inflation hedge.

Page 10: Reliancegold Etf Offer Document

10

d. Geo political issues: any uncertainty on the political front or any war-like situation always acts as a booster to gold prices. The prices start building up war premiums and hence such movements. Stable situations would typically mean stable gold prices.

e. Seasonal demand: Since the demand for Gold in India is closely tied to the production of jewellery pices tend to increase during the times of year when the demand for jewelry is the greatest, the demand for metals tends to be strong a few months ahead of these festive seasons, especially Dussera, Diwali, Akshaya Trithya festival and summer wedding season in in India. Christmas, Mothers Day, Valentine’s Day, are also major festive and shopping for Gold.

f. Change in duties & levies.

• The gold held by the Custodian of RGETF may be subject to loss, damage, theft or restriction of access due to natural event or human actions. The Trustees may not have adequate sources of recovery if its gold is lost, damaged, stolen or destroyed and recovery may be limited, even in the event of fraud, to the market value of gold at the time the fraud is discovered.

• The custodian will maintain adequate insurance for its bullion and custody business. The liability of the Custodian is limited under the agreement between the AMC and the Custodian which establish the Mutual Fund’s custody arrangements, or the custody agreements.

Market Trading Risks • Absence of Prior Active Market: Although RGETF units described in this Offer Document are to

be listed on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active secondary market will develop or be maintained.

• Lack of Market Liquidity: Trading in RGETF on the Exchange may be halted because of market conditions or for reasons that in the view of the market authorities or SEBI, trading in RGETF is not advisable. In addition, trading in RGETF is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility and pursuant to Stock Exchange(s) and SEBI ‘‘circuit filter’’ rules. There can be no assurance that the requirements of the market necessary to maintain the listing of RGETF will continue to be met or will remain unchanged. RGETF may suffer liquidity risk from domestic as well as international market.

• Time lag in procurement/redemption of physical gold: - Procurement of gold bars may take upto 1 month in case of adverse shortage of gold bars. It may not be possible to sell gold bar intentionally and may delay redemption depending on the market conditions.

• RGETF may trade at prices other than NAV: RGETF may trade above or below its NAV. The NAV of RGETF will fluctuate with changes in the market value of Scheme’s holdings. The trading prices of RGETF will fluctuate in accordance with changes in their NAVs as well as market supply and demand of RGETF. However, given that RGETF can be created and redeemed only in “Creation Units” directly with the fund, it is expected that large discounts or premiums to the NAVs of RGETF may not sustain due to arbitrage possibility available.

• Operational Risks: GETF are relatively new product and their value could decrease if unanticipated operational or trading problems arise.

• Regulatory Risk: Any changes in trading regulations by the Exchange or SEBI may affect the ability of Authorised Participant and or Large Investors to arbitrage resulting into wider premium/ discount to NAV. Although RGETF are proposed to be listed on Exchange, the AMC and the Trustees will not be liable for delay in listing of Units of the Scheme on Exchange / or due to connectivity problems with the depositories due to the occurrence of any event beyond their control.

• Political Risks: Whereas the Indian market was formerly restrictive, a process of deregulation has been taking place over recent years. This process has involved removal of trade barriers and protectionist measures, which could adversely affect the value of investments. It is possible that the future changes in the Indian political situation, including political, social or economic instability, diplomatic developments and changes in laws and regulations could have an effect on the value of investments. Expropriation, confiscatory taxation or other relevant developments could affect the value of investments.

Page 11: Reliancegold Etf Offer Document

11

• Competition Risks: An investment in RGETF may be adversely affected by competition from other methods of investing in gold.

The value of the units relates directly to the value of the gold held by the scheme and fluctuations in the price of gold could adversely affect investment value of the units. The RGETF is designed to mirror as closely as possible the performance of the price of gold bullion and the value of units directly relate to the value of the Gold held by the Scheme less the Scheme’s liabilities (including accrued but unpaid expenses). Gold prices have been quite volatile historically. The price of gold has fluctuated from a low of $530 to a high of $726 between Jan-06 and Feb-07 between based on the London AM Fix Several factors may affect the price of gold, including:

Global gold supplies and demand, which is influenced by factors such as forward selling by gold producers, purchases made by gold producers to unwind gold hedge positions, central bank purchases and sales, and productions and cost levels in major gold producing countries such as the South Africa, the United States and Australia.

➤ Investors’ expectations with respect to the rate of inflation; ➤ Currency exchange rates; ➤ Interest rates; ➤ Investment and trading activities of hedge funds and commodity funds; and ➤ Global or regional political, economic or financial events and situations.

In addition, investors should be aware that there is no assurance that gold will maintain its long-term value in terms of purchasing power in the future. In the event that the price of gold declines, the value of investment in units is expected to decline proportionately.

Changes in indirect taxes like custom duties for import, sales tax, VAT or any other levies will have an impact on the valuation of gold and consequently the NAV of the scheme.

Although, the objective of the Fund is to seek to provide returns that closely correspond to

returns provided by price of gold through investment in physical Gold and Gold related securities, the performance of the scheme may differ from that of the domestic prices of Gold due to expenses and or other related factors.

Credit & Interest Rate Risk The Fund may also invest in Gold Related Instruments, money market instruments, bonds, securitised debts & other debt securities as permitted under the Regulations which are subject to price, credit and interest rate risk. Trading volumes and settlement periods and transfer procedures may restrict liquidity in debt investments. • Right to Limit Redemptions: The Trustee, in the interest of the Unit holders of the Scheme offered in this Offer Document and keeping in view of the unforeseen circumstances / unusual market conditions, may limit the total number of Units, which can be redeemed on any Working Day depending on the total “Underlying Stock of Gold” that can be readily sold in the local market available with the fund.

• Redemption Risk – The Unit Holders may note that even though this is an open-ended scheme, the Scheme would ordinarily repurchase Units in Creation Unit size. Thus unit holdings less than the Creation Unit size can normally only be sold through the secondary market, unless no quotes are available on the Exchange for 2 trading days consecutively. Further, the price received upon the redemption of RGETF units may be less than the value of the gold represented by them. The result obtained by subtracting the Fund’s expenses and liabilities on any day from the price of the gold owned by the fund on that day is the net asset value of the fund which, when divided by the number of units outstanding on that date, results in the net asset value per unit, or NAV.

• Asset Class Risk : The domestic price of gold may vary from time to time. Further, the returns from the types of securities in which a Scheme invests may under perform returns from the various general securities markets or different asset classes. Different types of securities tend to go through cycles of out-performance and under performance in comparison of the general securities markets.

• Passive Investments: As RGETF is not actively managed, the underlying investments may be affected by a general decline in the domestic price of gold and other instruments invested under the plan. RGETF invests in the Gold & securities mentioned in the asset allocation regardless of their investment merit. The AMC does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. Further, the fund manager does not make any judgment about the investment merit nor shall attempt to apply any economic, financial or market analysis.

• Tracking Error Risk: Tracking error means the variance between daily returns of the underlying benchmark (gold in this case) and the NAV of the scheme for any given period. NAV of the Scheme is dependant on valuation of gold. Gold has to be valued as per the formula provided by SEBI in its circular no. SEBI/IMD/CIR No. 2/65348/06 dated April 21, 2006. NAV so computed may vary from the price of Gold in the domestic market.

Factors such as the fees and expenses of the Scheme, cash balance, changes to the Underlying assets and regulatory policies may affect AMC’s ability to achieve close correlation with the Underlying assets of the scheme. The Scheme’s returns may therefore deviate from those of its Underlying assets. Tracking error could be the result of a variety of factors including but not limited to: Delay in the purchase or sale of gold due to

o Illiquidity of gold, o Delay in realisation of sale proceeds, o Creating a lot size to buy the required amount of gold

The scheme may buy or sell the gold at different points of time during the trading session at the then prevailing prices which may not correspond to its closing prices.

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

The holding of a cash position and accrued income prior to distribution of income and payment of accrued expenses.

Disinvestments to meet redemptions, recurring expenses, dividend payouts etc. Execution of large buy / sell orders Transaction cost (including taxes and insurance premium) and recurring expenses Realisation of Unit holders’ funds

The scheme will endeavor to minimise the tracking error by Setting off of incremental subscriptions against redemptions, during liquidity window Use of gold related derivative instruments, as and when allowed by regulations Rebalancing of the portfolio

Given the structure of RGETF, the AMC expects the tracking error to be lower. The AMC will endeavor to keep the tracking 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. Tax Issues: Repurchase of “RGETF” by the Fund or sale of RGETF by the investor on the Stock Exchange may attract short or long term capital gain tax depending upon the holding period of the Units. Moreover, converting RGETF units to Gold may also attract Wealth tax. 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 advise received by the AMC regarding the law and practice currently in 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, there can be no guarantee that the tax position or the proposed tax position prevailing at the time of an investment or redemption 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.

Gold is subject to indirect tax not restricted to the following : Sales Tax, Octroi, VAT, Stamp Duty, and Custom Duty. MINIMUM NUMBER OF INVESTORS & LIMIT OF HOLDING BY A SINGLE INVESTOR: As per SEBI circular dated December 12, 2003 ref SEBI/IMD/CIR No.10/22701/03 and dated June 14, 2005 ref SEBI/IMD/CIR NO.1/42529/05, each scheme and individual plan(s) under the schemes should have a minimum of 20 investors and no single investor should account for more than 25% of the corpus of such scheme/ plan(s) at portfolio level within a period of three months or at the end of the succeeding calendar quarter, whichever is earlier from the close of the New Fund Offer (NFO). After the NFO and the 3 months balancing period, in each subsequent quarter thereafter, on an average basis, the scheme shall meet with both the conditions of minimum number of investor and holding as a percentage of the corpus. Determining the breach of 25% limit - The average net assets of the scheme would be calculated daily and any breach of the 25% holding limit by an investor would be determined. 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. If there is a breach of limit by any investor over the quarter, 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.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS The Mutual Fund is not assuring or guaranteeing that it will be able to make regular/periodical distributions to its Unit holders. Periodical distributions will be dependent on the availability of distributable surplus The Trustees have the right in their sole discretion; to limit redemptions under certain circumstances mentioned elsewhere in the Offer Document. Investors should study this Offer Document carefully in its entirety before investing in this Scheme and should not construe the contents hereof as advise relating to legal, taxation, investment or any other matters.

Page 40: Reliancegold Etf Offer Document

40

The Custodian will charge the Mutual Fund, portfolio fee, transaction fee and out-of-pocket expenses in accordance with the terms of the Custody Agreement and as per any modification made thereof from time to time. ROLE OF THE CUSTODIAN: The Custodian is responsible for safekeeping of the Scheme’s gold deposited with it by Authorized Participants and Investors in connection with the creation of Baskets. The Custodian is responsible for allocating specific bars of gold bullion to the scheme Allocated Account. The Custodian will provide the AMC with regular reports detailing with identifying the gold bars held in the scheme Allocated Account. The Custodian may also from time to time act as Authorized Participants or purchase or sell gold or units for their own account, as agent for their customers and for accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. CUSTODY OF THE SCHEME’S GOLD Custody of the gold bullion deposited with and held by the scheme is provided by the custodian at its Vaults in Mumbai and other places. The custodian, as instructed by the AMC, is authorized to accept, on behalf of the AMC, deposits of gold. On the instructions given by the AMC, the custodian allocates gold by selecting bars of gold bullion for deposit to the scheme’s allocated account. The AMC and the custodian enter into the custody agreements, which establish the allocated account. The gold deposited with the scheme is held in the scheme allocated account. Under the agreement entered into by the AMC and the custodian, the custodian is responsible for the safekeeping of the gold held on behalf of the AMC. The custodian is responsible for any loss or damage suffered by the scheme as a direct result of any negligence, fraud or willful default in the performance of its duties. The custodian’s liability is limited to the market value of the gold held in the scheme’s allocated account at the time such negligence, fraud or willful default is discovered by the custodian, provided that the custodian promptly notifies the AMC of its discovery. In the event of a loss caused by the failure of the custodian to exercise reasonable care, the AMC has the right to seek recovery with respect to the loss against the custodian in breach. Allocated Accounts: An allocated account is an account with a Bank or Custodian, to which individually identified gold bars owned by the account holder are credited. The gold bars in an allocated gold account are specific to that account and are identified by a list which shows, for each gold bar, the refiner, assay or fineness, serial number and fine weight. The account holder has full ownership of the gold bars and, except as instructed by the account holder, the Bank or Custodian may not trade, lease or lend the bars. Transfer of Gold At the end of each business day gold is transferred to the schemes allocated account. The custodian allocates specific bars of gold from its gold stocks, so that allocated gold bars represent the amount of gold credited to the extent such amount is representable by whole bars. The bars of gold should be held directly by the Custodian. The custodian updates its records at the end of each business day to identify the specific bars of gold allocated to the scheme. The withdrawal of gold from the scheme for the purpose of redemption will follow the same procedure in the reverse order. DESCRIPTION OF THE CUSTODY AGREEMENTS Reports: The custodian provides the AMC with reports for each business day, no later than the following business day, identifying the movements of gold in and out of the scheme’s allocated account. The monthly statement contains sufficient information to identify each bar of gold held in the scheme allocated account and the custodian or subcustodian having possession of such bar.

Page 41: Reliancegold Etf Offer Document

Sub-Custodians: The custodian may select Subcustodians to perform any of its duties, including holding gold for it. The sub-custodians selected by the custodians will have to be informed by the custodians to the AMC. Any additions or deletion of subcustodians will have to be reported to the AMC on a periodic basis. Custodian may, with the prior written consent of AMC, entrust Gold held in the Account to a specified subcustodian that is eligible to act as a custodian of Gold under applicable laws and regulations (a “Sub-Custodian”) selected by Custodian with due care.

The AMC may upon reasonable notice, visit the custodian’s premises and examine the scheme’s gold held there and the custodian’s records concerning the scheme’s allocated account.

V. INVESTMENT FOCUS, OBJECTIVES, POLICIES & LIMITATIONS

OF THE SCHEME 1. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: The investment objective is to seek to provide returns that closely correspond to returns provided by price of gold through investment in physical Gold and Gold related securities. However the performance of the scheme may differ from that of the domestic prices of Gold due to expenses and or other related factors. However, there can be no assurance that the investment objective of the scheme will be achieved.

2 ASSET ALLOCATION PATTERN: Instruments % Risk Profile

Gold or Gold Related Instruments as permitted by regulators from time to time

90%- 100% Medium

Money Market instruments, Bonds, Debentures, Government Securities including T-Bills, Securitised Debt* & other debt securities as permitted by regulators from time to time

0– 10% Low to Medium

*Upto 10% in securitised debt The above Asset Allocation Pattern is only indicative. The investment manager in line with the investment objective as may alter the above pattern for short term and on defensive consideration. 3. BENCHMARK INDEX: As there are no indices catering to the gold sector/securities linked to Gold, currently GETF shall be benchmarked against the price of Gold.

4. INVESTMENT STRATEGY: The fund manager shall not try to ‘‘beat’’ the Gold Market, but aims to replicate the returns, which commensurate the returns generated, by Gold during that period. It will however endeavor to seek temporary defensive positions when markets decline or appear over valued to the extent of its investment in Money Market or other debt securities. The fund manager would not make any judgment about the investment merit of a particular security nor will it attempt to apply any economic, financial or market analysis. This style of Passive Fund Management would eliminate the risks involved with active management with regard to over / underperformance vis-à-vis a benchmark. The Fund will, in general invest a significant part of its corpus in Gold or Gold Related Instruments as permitted by regulators from time to time (as per the asset allocation mentioned above). However pending investments, the surplus amount of the Fund shall be invested in securitized debt, other debt securities, bonds and money market instruments as permitted by regulators from time to time. Also whenever good investment opportunity are not available in the view of the Fund manager, the Fund will reduce its exposure to gold and Gold Related instruments and during that period the surplus asset of the

Page 43: Reliancegold Etf Offer Document

43

Fund shall be invested in securitized debt, other debt securities, bonds and money market instruments. However there is no assurance that all such buying and selling activities would necessarily result in benefit for the Fund. The allocation will be decided based upon the prevailing market conditions, prices of gold, macro economic environment, and the performance of the corporate sector, the debt market and other considerations. At times, such churning could lead to higher brokerage and transaction costs. To achieve its primary objective as mentioned above, the Fund would invest in gold and Gold Related Instruments as permitted by regulators from time to time. To achieve its secondary objective, the fund would invest in securitized debt, other debt securities, bonds and money market securities as permitted by regulators from time to time. These securities could include: - Obligations of Indian Companies (both public and private sector) including term deposits with the banks as permitted by SEBI/ RBI from time to time and developmental financial institutions - Certificate of Deposits (CDs) - Commercial paper (CPs) - In Securitized Debt upto 10% of the corpus. - The non-convertible part of convertible securities - Any other domestic fixed income securities - Money market instruments permitted by SEBI/ RBI, having maturities upto 1 year in call money market instruments as may be provided by the RBI to meet the liquidity requirements - Any other instruments as allowed by the Regulations from time to time. - The Fund may also enter into "Repo", or such other transactions as may be allowed to Mutual Funds from time to time. Subject to the Regulations, the investments may be in securities which are listed or unlisted, secured or unsecured, rated or unrated, having variable maturities, and acquired through secondary market purchases, RBI auctions, open market sales conducted by RBI etc., Initial Public Offers (IPOs), other public offers, placements, rights, offers, negotiated deals, etc The Scheme may also enter into repurchase and reverse repurchase obligations in all securities held by it as per the guidelines and Regulations applicable to such transactions. No investments shall be made in foreign securitised debt.

5. Investment Process: The AMC will initially decide the quantity of gold to be imported/procured and kept with the Custodian (who acts as a warehouse/custodian for the Fund ). Against this quantity, AMC issues units to the investor. Therefore the entire corpus (except for some portion to meet liquidity) shall be invested upfront into Gold 6. Case for investing in Gold: The price of gold is the benchmark. All forms of investments carry some degree of risk. Holding gold directly also has risks. However, including gold in a well-balanced portfolio can help diversify risk. Gold's ability to serve as a portfolio diversifier is due to its historically low-to-negative correlation with stocks and bonds. The economic forces that determine the price of gold are different from the forces that determine the prices of most financial assets. The price of gold depends upon various factors, including the supply and demand for gold, the strength or weakness of major foreign currency especially dollar, the rate of inflation, and interest rates and the current political environment. Gold is not subject to the risk of default or bankruptcy.

7. Tracking Error Tracking error means the variance between daily returns of the underlying benchmark (gold in this case) and the NAV of the scheme for any given period. NAV of the Scheme is dependant on valuation of gold. Gold shall be valued based on the formula mentioned in SEBI circular no. SEBI/IMD/CIR No. 2/65348/06 dated April 21, 2006. NAV so computed may vary from the price of Gold in the domestic market. Factors such as the fees and expenses of the Scheme, corporate actions, cash balance, changes to the Underlying assets and regulatory policies may affect AMC’s ability to achieve close correlation with the Underlying assets of the scheme. The Scheme’s returns may therefore deviate from those of its Underlying assets. Tracking error could be the result of a variety of factors including but not limited to: Delay in the purchase or sale of gold due to

o Illiquidity of gold, o Delay in realisation of sale proceeds, o Creating a lot size to buy the required amount of gold

The scheme may buy or sell the gold at different points of time during the trading session at the then prevailing prices which may not correspond to its closing prices.

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

The holding of a cash position and accrued income prior to distribution of income and payment of accrued expenses.

Disinvestments to meet redemptions, recurring expenses, dividend payouts etc. Execution of large buy / sell orders Transaction cost (including taxes and insurance premium) and recurring expenses Realisation of Unit holders’ funds

The scheme will endeavor to minimise the tracking error by Setting off of incremental subscriptions against redemptions, during liquidity window Use of gold related derivative instruments, as and when allowed by regulations Rebalancing of the portfolio

8. Fundamental Attributes : For the purposes of this section, "fundamental attributes" of the scheme means:

(i) Type of scheme :An open-ended Gold Exchange Traded Fund that tracks the domestic prices of gold through investments in physical Gold.

(ii) Investment Objectives & Policies : The investment objective is to seek to provide returns

Investment Pattern and Investment Objectives is provided hereinabove.

(iii) Terms of Issue : Provisions in this Offer Document in respect of redemption, listing, fees and expenses of the scheme.

Notwithstanding the above, the Trustees, in accordance with Regulation 18(15)(A) of the SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996, 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 affect the interest of the unit holders, 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 nationwide circulation as well as in the newspaper published in the language of the region where the Head Office of the Mutual Fund is situated and

9. Investment Philosophy and Focus India today is the world’s largest democracy with a vibrant electorate, active Judiciary and civil society groups, and a fiercely independent media. For thousand of years, gold has been prized for its parity, its beauty, and above all its unique characteristics as a store of value. In today’s uncertain climate, many investors turn to gold because it is an important and secure asset that can be tapped at any time, under virtually any circumstances. But there is another side to gold that is equally important, and that is its day-to-day performance as a stabilizing influence for investment portfolio. These advantages are currently attracting considerable attention from financial professionals and sophisticated investors worldwide. Recent independent studies have revealed that traditional diversifiers often fall during times of market stress or stability. On these occasions most asset classes (including traditional diversifiers such as bonds and alternative assets) all move together in the same direction. There is no “cushioning” effect of a diversified portfolio – leaving investors disappointed. However, a small allocation of gold has been proven to significantly improve the consistency of portfolio performance, during both stable and unstable financial periods. Greater consistency of performance leads to a desirable outcome – an investor whose expectations are met. The consumers and public have realized the benefits of liberalization through increase in the choice and quality of products and decrease in prices. The business and industry have also adjusted themselves with the liberalization and globalization. The unprecedented high level of foreign exchange reserves, upward trend in FDI inflows and the general growth of the economy has given more confidence and encouragement to the policy-makers to further accelerate its economic reforms and liberalization process. Both at the central and state levels and across political parties, in general, there is consensus on further economic liberalization. The Macro view • India is a major player in the global gold market, both through ownership and annual flow of

purchases of gold, and through enormous success in the labour-intensive export-oriented jewellery business.

• Modernisation of the gold market has been a long-standing policy goal in India. A key element of modernising any financial market is shifting away from closed clubs of dealers engaging in private transactions and bilateral negotiation, to a framework with anonymous trading taking place between participants from all across the country, all of whom are on a level playing field. An essential feature of modernisation of finance is the removal of entry barriers, so that it is easy for finance companies to enter and exit any kind of financial activity. The Gold ETF promises to be a step forward for the gold spot market in offering such a trading framework, characterised by nationwide participation by households and without entry barriers faced by finance companies.

• The Gold ETF is a gold spot instrument, which is distinct from gold futures. However, there are synergies between both initiatives, since they both strengthen different aspects of the gold market. A strong Gold ETF market helps to strengthen the gold futures market, and vice versa.

Page 46: Reliancegold Etf Offer Document

46

The Micro View From the narrow viewpoint of a household also, the Gold ETF offers many benefits. Gold is a part of the portfolio of millions of households in the country. For households, the Gold ETF offers the following advantages: • Zero concerns about physical security, theft or adulteration when faced with the tasks of custody

and spot transactions. • A transparent secondary market, which will offer reduced transactions costs when compared with

existing OTC transactions on the gold spot market. The existing unregulated spot market suffers from acute problems of wide bid -offer spreads, and penalisation of customers on questions of purity.

• Once banks and other moneylenders accept the transparency and liquidity of the Gold ETF, it would become possible to pledge Gold ETF units as collateral for loans. This would greatly assist many low-income households by easing the credit constraints that they face. A household which may possess physical gold today would, in comparison, obtain more limited credit access owing to concerns about the purity and liquidity of the physical gold. In contrast, the Gold ETF units will eliminate concerns about purity, and will offer assured secondary market liquidity.

• The Gold ETF is likely to trade in units which correspond to 1 grams of gold. This would make transactions accessible to a large number of households who presently find it difficult to do transactions of 1 gram or 1 tola.

10. Debt Market in India Debt Market in India: RGETF shall have some exposure to debt instruments as specified in the Asset Allocation table above. The Indian Debt market is facing major shift in the recent times. The substantial growth in Mutual Fund collections in the past few years have provided an easy route for the investors to channelise their savings into the debt market, which otherwise is largely dominated by Banks and other Institutional investors. At present, the Indian debt market is dominated by issues of Central Government bonds, Coporate Debentures and PSU Bonds. The new Securitised instruments are also very attractive in the primary market. The other instruments available for investment are Commercial Papers, Certificate of Deposits, Government guaranteed bonds, etc. Brief details about the instruments are given below as on October 16, 2006:

Instruments Listed/ Unlisted Current Yield Range Liquidity Risk profile As on October 16,

Debentures/ Bonds (AAA rated)

7.20%to 8.10% 8.25%to 8.65% 8.65%to 8.90% N.A.

The price and yield on various debt instruments fluctuate from time to time depending upon the macro economic situation, inflation rate, overall liquidity position, foreign exchange scenario, etc. Also, the price and yield varies according to maturity profile, credit risk etc. 11. PORTFOLIO TURNOVER : Given the nature of the scheme, the portfolio turnover ratio may be high and AMC may re-allocate the portfolio according to liquidity requirements, commensurate with the investment objectives of the scheme. The effect of higher portfolio turnover may result in higher expenses and transaction costs. 12. Investment Limitations/Restrictions: The investment policy of the scheme comply with the rules, regulations and guidelines laid out in SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996. As per the Regulations, gold exchange traded fund scheme shall be subject to the following investment restrictions:

1. the funds of any such scheme shall be invested only in gold or Gold Related Instruments in accordance with its investment objective, except to the extent necessary to meet the liquidity requirements for honouring repurchases or redemptions, as disclosed in the offer document.

2. Pending deployment of funds of the scheme in gold and Gold Related Instruments in terms of

the investment objectives and policies of the scheme, the Mutual Fund can invest the funds received in the Scheme in short term deposits of scheduled commercial banks subject to the guidelines contained in SEBI Circular SEBI/IMD/CIR No. 1/ 91171 /07 dated April 16, 2007 or such other guidelines that SEBI may issue from time to time.

The investments in short term deposits of scheduled commercial banks will be reported to the trustees along with the reasons for the investment which, interalia, would include comparison with the interest rates offered by other scheduled commercial banks.

Further, the RCAM will ensure that the reasons for such investments are recorded in the manner prescribed in SEBI Circular MFD/CIR/6/73/2000 dated July 27, 2000.

Further, as per the Seventh Schedule, the following investment limitations are currently applicable to its investments in the Underlying Stock: 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 credit rating agency. This investment limit may be extended to 20% of the NAV of the Scheme with the approval of the of the Investment Committee based on the parameter set by the Board of Trustees and the AMC. Provided that this limit shall not be applicable to investments in money market instruments. Provided further that investment within such limit can be made in mortgaged backed securitised debt which are rated not below investment grade by a credit rating agency registered with SEBI.

Page 48: Reliancegold Etf Offer Document

48

2. The Scheme shall not invest more than 10% of its NAV in unrated debt instruments issued by a single issuer and the total of such instruments shall not exceed 25% of the NAV of the Scheme. All such investments will be made with the prior approval of the Investment Committee of RCAM. Note: Debentures, irrespective of any residual maturity period (above or below one year), shall attract the investment restrictions as applicable for debt instruments as specified under clause 1 and 2 above. Further, it is clarified that the investment limits mentioned in (1) and (2) above are applicable to all debt securities which are issued by public bodies/institutions such as electricity boards, municipal corporations, state transport corporations etc. guaranteed by either central or state government. Government securities issued by central/state government or on its behalf by RBI are exempt from the above referred investment limits. 3. The AMC would monitor the tracking error of the scheme on an ongoing basis and would seek to minimise tracking error to the maximum extent possible. Given the structure of RGETF, the AMC expects the tracking error to be lower. Under normal circumstances, such tracking errors are not expected to exceed 2% per annum. However this may vary when the markets are very volatile. 4. RGETF units will be held in dematerialized form, as prescribed under The SEBI (Depositories and Participants) Regulations, 1996. The service charges payable to the depository will form part of annual recurring expenses. 5. Transfers of investments from one scheme to another scheme in the Mutual Fund shall be allowed only if: a) Such transfers are done at the prevailing market price for quoted instruments on "spot basis"; Explanation: "spot basis" shall have the same meaning as specified by the stock exchange for spot transactions: and b) The securities so transferred shall be in conformity with the investment objectives & policies of the Scheme(s) to which such transfer has been made. 6. The Scheme shall not make any investment in any Fund Of Fund scheme or in foreign securities. 7. The Scheme shall meet the entire expenses incurred during the new fund offer from the entry load in accordance with SEBI Circular dated April 4, 2006, being an open-ended scheme. Any expenses over & above the entry load amount shall be borne by the AMC. 8. No term loans for any purpose will be advanced by the Scheme. 9. The AMC may invest in the Scheme either in the new fund offer or subsequently. However, it shall not charge any investment management fee on such amounts invested by it. 10. RCAM shall not undertake any other business except that permitted under the Regulations. RCAM shall meet with the capital adequacy requirements, if any, separately for each of the separate activity, if any undertaken by the AMC and obtain separate approval, if necessary under the Regulations. The Scheme’s investment in debt will be in transferable securities (whether in capital markets or money markets or in privately placed debentures or securitised debts or bank deposits or money at call). All investment restrictions stated above shall be applicable at the time of making investment. The Scheme will not enter into any transaction, which exposes it to unlimited liabilities or results in the encumbering of its assets in any way so as to expose them to unlimited liability.

Page 49: Reliancegold Etf Offer Document

49

These investment limitations / parameters as expressed / linked to the net asset / net asset value / capital, shall in the ordinary course, apply as at the date of the most recent transaction or commitment to invest. Changes do not have to be effected merely because of appreciation or depreciation in value or by reason of the receipt of any rights, bonuses or benefits in the nature of capital or of any scheme of arrangement or for amalgamation, reconstruction or exchange, or at any repayment or redemption or other reason outside the control of the Fund, any such limits would thereby be breached. If these limits are exceeded for reasons beyond its control, AMC shall adopt as a priority objective the remedying of that situation, taking due account of the interests of the Unitholders. The Trustee Company in consultation with AMC may alter these above stated limitations from time to time, and also to the extent the Regulations change, so as to permit the Scheme to make its investments in the full spectrum of permitted investments in order to achieve its investment objectives & policies. As such, all investments of the Scheme 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. The investment policy at RMF specifies limits both on overall basis (across all schemes) as well as on individual scheme level. Guidelines for following parameters for 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 total net assets 3. Maximum Illiquid component: Defines the instruments considered as illiquid and the maximum investment that can be made in these instruments as a percentage 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 types like corporate bond, PTCs, Gilts etc 13.Underwriting by the Scheme : The scheme will not accept underwriting and sub underwriting obligations. 14. 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 Scheme may borrow upto 20% of its net assets for a period of upto six months or as may be permitted by the pertinent regulations. Loans may be obtained from any entity / organisation which are not specifically debarred to give loans to Mutual Funds and also loan is available from such entity / organisation at competitive terms. However, if loan is obtained from any associates such loans will be obtained only at extremely competitive terms at equal to or lower than market rates. These loans may be secured by securities or assets of the Scheme pledged to such entity / organisation. Borrowing by the Mutual Fund on account of 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 were borrowings for the year ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006. 15.Computation of Net Asset Value: The Net Asset Value (NAV) of the Units will be determined daily or as prescribed by the Regulations.

Page 50: Reliancegold Etf Offer Document

50

The NAV under GETF shall be calculated up to 4 decimals as follows or such other formula as may be prescribed by SEBI from time to time.: NAV = Market or Fair Value of Scheme's investments + Current Assets - Current Liabilities and Provision

No of Units outstanding under Scheme on the Valuation Date

NAV Information: The NAV of the Scheme will be calculated and declared by the Fund on every Working Day by 9.00 p.m. The information on NAV may be obtained by the Unitholders, on any day from the office of the AMC / the office of the Registrar in Hyderabad or any of the other Designated Investor Service Centres. The NAV shall be published in two daily newspapers on a daily basis as per the Regulations. Investors may also obtain information on the purchase /sale price for a given day on any Working Day from the office of the AMC / the office of the Registrar in Hyderabad/ any of the other Designated Investor Service Centres. For any NAV information, investor may also call our Touchbase customer service centre at 3030 1111, callers outside India, please dial 91-40-30301111. 16. Valuation of Assets: A. Valuation of Gold Since physical gold and other permitted instruments linked to gold are denominated in gold tonnage, it will be valued based on the market price of gold in the domestic market and will be marked to market on a daily basis. The market price of gold in the domestic market on any business day would be arrived at as under: Domestic price of gold = (London Bullion Market Association AM fixing in US$/ounce X conversion factor for converting ounce into kg for 0.995 fineness X rate for US$ into INR) + custom duty for import of gold + sales tax/octroi and other levies applicable. The Trustees reserve the right to change the source (centre) for determining the exchange rate. The AMC shall record in writing the reason for change in the source for determining the exchange rate. The Fund shall value its investments in the Underlying Stocks according to the valuation norms, as specified in Schedule VIII of the Regulations, or such norms as may be prescribed by SEBI from time to time. (1) The gold held by a gold exchange traded fund scheme shall be valued at the AM fixing price of London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) in US dollars per troy ounce for gold having a fineness of 995.0 parts per thousand, subject to the following: (a) adjustment for conversion to metric measures as per standard conversion rates; (b) adjustment for conversion of US dollars into Indian rupees as per the RBI reference rate declared by the Foreign Exchange Dealers Association of India (FEDAI); and (c) addition of –

(i) transportation and other charges that may be normally incurred in bringing such gold from London to the place where it is actually stored on behalf of the mutual fund; and (ii) notional customs duty and other applicable taxes and levies that may be normally incurred to bring the gold from London to the place where it is actually stored on behalf of the mutual fund:

Provided that the adjustment under clause (c) above may be made on the basis of a notional premium that is usually charged for delivery of gold to the place where it is stored on behalf of the mutual fund: Provided further that where the gold held by a gold exchange traded fund scheme has a greater fineness, the relevant LBMA prices of AM fixing shall be taken as the reference price under this sub-paragraph.

Page 51: Reliancegold Etf Offer Document

51

(2) If the gold acquired by the gold exchange traded fund scheme is not in the form of standard bars, it shall be assayed and converted into standard bars which comply with the good delivery norms of the LBMA and thereafter valued in terms of sub-paragraph (1).” B. Valuation of Debt Securities 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 stock exchange 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 exchange may 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 selected stock 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 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 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. 2. 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 the valuation 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 the valuation principles laid down below: (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 remaining maturity period of the instruments) a similar process should be adopted for non-traded debt securities with residual maturity of upto 182 days, 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. In case of a debt security with maturity greater than 182 days at the time of purchase, the last valuation price plus accrued interest 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). (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 their credit ratings. The non-investment grade securities would further be classified as "Performing" and "Non Performing" assets.

Page 52: Reliancegold Etf Offer Document

52

• All Non Government investment grade debt securities, classified as not traded, shall be valued on yield to maturity basis as described in the applicable SEBI circular. • 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. 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 accrued on 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 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 calculation shall not be affected by more than 2%. 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 by SEBI. The valuation of the Scheme's assets and calculation of the Scheme's NAV shall be subject to audit on an annual basis and such regulations as may be prescribed by SEBI from time to time.

14. Accounting Policies & Standards In accordance with the Regulations, the AMC will follow the accounting policies and standards, as detailed below: a) The AMC, for each Scheme and its Plans, shall keep and maintain proper books of account, 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 the state of affairs of the Fund. b) For the purposes of the financial statements, the Scheme and its Plans shall mark all investments to market and carry investments in the balance sheet at market value. However, since the unrealized gain arising out of appreciation on investments cannot be distributed, provision shall be made for exclusion of this item when arriving at distributable income. c) Dividend income earned by the Scheme and its Plans shall be recognized, not on the date the dividend is declared, but on the date the share is quoted on an ex-dividend basis. For investments, which are not quoted on the stock exchange, dividend income would be recognized on the date of declaration of dividend. d) In respect of all interest-bearing investments, income shall be 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 should not be treated as a cost of purchase but shall be debited to Interest Recoverable Account. Similarly, interest received at the time of sale for the period from the last interest due date up to the date of sale must not be treated as an addition to sale value but shall be credited to Interest Recoverable Account. e) In determining the holding cost of investments and the gains or losses on sale of investments, the "average cost" method shall be followed for each security. f) Transactions for purchase or sale of investments shall be recognized as of the trade date and not as of the settlement date, so that the effect of all investments traded during a financial year are recorded and reflected in the financial statements for that year. Where investment transactions take place outside the stock market, for example, acquisition through private placement or purchases or sales through private treaty, the transaction would be recorded, in the event of a purchase, as of the date on which the

Page 53: Reliancegold Etf Offer Document

53

Scheme obtains an enforceable obligation to pay the price or, in the event of a sale, when the Scheme obtains an enforceable right to collect the proceeds of sale or an enforceable obligation to deliver the instruments sold. h) Where income receivable on investments has accrued but has not been received for the period specified in the guidelines issued by the Board, provision shall be made by debiting to the revenue account the income so accrued in the manner specified by guidelines issued by the Board. i) When units are sold in the Scheme, an appropriate part of the sale proceeds shall be credited to an Equalization Account and when units are repurchased an appropriate amount shall be debited to Equalization Account. The net balance on this account shall be credited or debited to the Revenue Account. The balance on the Equalization Account debited or credited to the Revenue Account shall not decrease or increase the net income of the Fund but is only an adjustment to the distributable surplus. It shall therefore be reflected in the Revenue Account only after the net income of the Fund is determined. j) When units are sold, after considering the equalization as above, the difference between the sale price and the face value of the Unit, if positive, shall be credited to reserves and if negative, shall be debited to reserve, the face value being credited to Capital Account. Similarly, when the Units are repurchased, after considering the equalization as above, the difference between the purchase price and face value of the Unit, if positive, shall be debited to reserves and, if negative, shall be credited to reserves, the face value being debited to the Capital Account. k) The cost of investments acquired or purchased shall include brokerage, insurance premium, customs duty, VAT, Octroi, stamp duty charges and any charge customarily included in the broker's bought note or purchase invoice or any other cost incurred for acquiring the assets. In respect of privately placed debt instruments any front-end discount offered shall be reduced from the cost of the investment. l) Underwriting commission shall be recognized as revenue only when there is no devolvement on the Scheme and its Plans. Where there is devolvement on the Scheme and the Plans thereunder, the full underwriting commission received and not merely the portion applicable to the devolvement shall be reduced from the cost of the 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 received or remained outstanding for one quarter from the day such income / instalment 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 1st quarter from the date the income has fallen due, there will be 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 till 31.03.2003 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 no further 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 the date, 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 has not 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 on 31.12.2002. (D) Provision for NPAs - Debt Securities : Both secured and unsecured investments once they are recognized as NPAs call for provisioning in the same manner and where these are related to close

Page 54: Reliancegold Etf Offer Document

54

ended scheme the phasing would be such that to ensure full provisioning prior to the closure of the scheme or the scheduled phasing 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 of provisioning. The provisioning against the principal amount or installments should be made at the following rates irrespective of whether the principal is due for 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 asset as 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 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 of the 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 classification of the asset as NPA. o 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 classification of 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 2nd quarter where the provision of principal was made due to the interest defaults only. • 50% of the asset provided for in the books will be written back at the end of the 2nd quarter and 25% after every subsequent quarter where both installments and 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 performance for 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 these two 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. Any excess 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 of time, 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, if it 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 transferred to the Investor Education Fund maintained by each mutual fund as specified in SEBI circular MFD/CIR/9/120/2000 dated November 24,

Page 55: Reliancegold Etf Offer Document

55

2000. The decision as to the determination of substantial amount shall be taken by the trustees 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 conditions are 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 down to grade 'D' (H) Reschedulement of an asset: In case any company defaults either interest or principal amount and the fund has accepted a Reschedulement of the schedule of payments, then the following practice may be adhered to: (i) In case it is a first Reschedulement and only interest is in default, the status of the asset namely, 'NPA' may be continued and existing provisions should not be written back. This practice should be continued for two quarters of regular servicing of the debt. Thereafter, this is classified as 'performing asset' and the interest provided may be written back. (ii) If the Re-schedulement is done due to default in interest and principal amount, the asset should be continued as non-performing for a period of 4 quarters, even though the asset is continued to be serviced during these 4 quarters regularly. Thereafter, this can be classified as 'performing asset' and all the interest provided till such date should be written back. (iii) If the Reschedulement is done for a second/third time or thereafter, the characteristic of NPA should be continued for eight quarters of regular servicing of the debt. The provision should be written back only after it is reclassified as 'performing asset'. (I) Disclosure in the Half Yearly Portfolio Reports: The mutual funds shall make scrip wise disclosures of NPAs on half yearly basis along with the half yearly portfolio disclosure. The total amount of provisions made against the NPAs shall be disclosed in addition to the total quantum of NPAs and their proportion of the assets of the mutual fund scheme. In the list of investments an asterisk mark shall be given against such investments, which are recognized as NPAs. Where the date of redemption of an investment has lapsed, the amount not redeemed shall be shown as 'sundry debtors' and not investment provided that where an investment is redeemable by installments that will be shown as an investment until all installments have become overdue. 15. INVESTMENT BY THE AMC IN THE FUND: RCAM reserves the right to invest its own funds in the Scheme upto a maximum extent of its networth. As per SEBI Regulations, such investments are permitted, subject to disclosure being made in the Offer Document. Further, RCAM shall not charge any fees on its investment in the Scheme, unless allowed to do so under SEBI Regulations in the future. 16. DEPOSITORY: RGETF units will be held in dematerialized form and hence the SEBI (Depositories and Participants) Regulations, 1996 would apply. The service charges payable to the depository participant will form part of annual recurring expenses. 17. POLICY FOR INTER-SCHEME TRANSFERS: The Scheme may purchase / sell securities under the Scheme through the mode of Inter-Scheme Transfers, if such a security is under the buy / sell list of this Scheme and is on the sell / buy list of another Scheme under the Fund. Under such circumstances, the transactions will be effected based on the prevailing market price on spot basis and in conformity with Regulations. The valuation of untraded / unquoted securities and debt instruments shall be done in accordance with the general valuation policies of the Fund.

Determining the breach of 25% limit - The average net assets of the scheme would be calculated daily and any breach of the 25% holding limit by an investor would be determined. 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. If there is a breach of limit by any investor over the quarter, 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.

On confirmation of the same by the AMC, the Custodian will transfer the Portfolio Deposit by handing over the physical Gold of the predefined purity and quantity to the investor and pay the Cash Component, if applicable. The AMC may redeem Creation Unit of RGETF prior to receipt of all or portion of the relevant RGETF in certain circumstances where the purchaser, among other things, posts collateral to secure its obligation to deliver such outstanding RGETF units. The Portfolio Deposit and Cash Component for the RGETF may change from time to time due to change in NAV. The Fund may from time to time change the size of creation unit size in order to equate it with marketable lot of underlying physical gold. The procedures by which an authorized participant and large investors can redeem one or more baskets will be same as the procedures for the creation of units. On any business day, an authorized participant may send a redemption request to the AMC. The registrar will instruct the custodian to sell the number of units to be redeemed and the mode of redemption (physical gold or cash). The custodian will deliver the gold in physical form to the nearest 100 gram and the balance amount will be paid in cash.

The number of Units so redeemed will be subtracted from the unitholder's account balance and a statement to this effect will be issued to the unitholder. In case the balance in unitholder's account does not cover the amount of redemption request, the Fund may close the unitholder's account and send the entire (lesser) balance to the unitholder, provided further that if the unitholder has made a partial redemption request which results in balance of units to fall below minimum application amount as per the latest NAV, the fund may close the unitholders account & redeem all units in the folio & remit the entire redemption proceeds to the investors. If an investor has purchased Units on more than one working day, the Units purchased prior in time (i.e. those Units which have been held for the longest period of time), will be deemed to have been redeemed first, i.e. on a First In First Out Basis. Units purchased by cheque or draft will not be redeemed until the realisation of the cheque/DD. Redemption Price : The Redemption Price will be calculated in the following way : Redemption Price = Applicable NAVx (1- Exit Load) 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 and the repurchase price will be Rs. 9.80. The Fund will ensure that the Redemption Price is not lower than 93% of the NAV and the Purchase Price is not higher than 107% of the NAV, provided that the difference between the Redemption Price and Purchase Price of the Units shall not exceed the permissible limit of 7% of the Purchase Price, as provided for under the current Regulations. For detailed explanation on loads, please refer the Section on "Loads and Recurring Expenses-Section VII". The Redemption Price will be released to the press daily for being published in the newspaper, as prescribed under the Regulations, from time to time. Currently, redemptions shall be effected at applicable NAV based prices subject to exit loads. RCAM may revise the above pricing structure and transaction timings from time to time, subject to an exit load chargeable in accordance with the Regulations. However, any such revision shall be in accordance with SEBI Regulations and would be applicable only to units subscribed to after the initial date of such notification on a prospective basis. 31. Minimum Account Balance: RCAM reserves the right to close an investor's account if the value of the unit balance in the account falls below the minimum subscription amount under the scheme. In such an event, RCAM reserves the right to compulsorily redeem the balance units in the account completely at the applicable redemption price. The Fund may revise the minimum/maximum amounts and methodology for redemptions as and when necessary. Such change may be brought about after taking into account the cost structure for a transaction / account and / or Market practices and / or the interest of the unit holders. Further such changes shall be carried out on a prospective basis from the date of notification of such change and would not, in any manner, be prejudicial to the interests of the investors who have joined the scheme before such notification. Any changes would be informed to unit holders by way of an advertisement.

32. Payment of Proceeds: a) Resident Investors Redemption proceeds will be paid either by direct credit to the investor / Authorized Participants bank account (where the Unit holder / Authorized Participants has an account with the bank with whom the fund has a tie up under intimation to Unit holder / Authorized Participants by post/email) or by cheques, marked “A/c. Payee only” and drawn in 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’s records, will be mentioned in the cheque. The cheque will be payable at par at all the cities designated

Recurring Expenses of the Scheme: The ongoing fees and expenses of operating the Scheme on an annual basis, expressed as a percentage of the amount of the Scheme's average daily net assets, are estimated as follows: Items % of average daily

net assets (estimated)

Investment Management and Advisory Fees 0.50 Cost relating to Investors communication 0.25 Custodial Fees 0.50 Registrars Fees & Processing Charges including stamp duty, if any

0.10

Licensing Fees 0.01 Listing Fees 0.01 Marketing & Sales Promotion 1.10 Miscellaneous and other charges 0.03 Total 2.50 The above expenses are estimates only and are subject to change inter se as per actuals. Subject to SEBI Regulations, the Trustees reserves the right to modify the above estimate for recurring expenses on a prospective basis. The schemes estimated ordinary operating expenses are accrued daily commencing after the first day of the trading of the units on the NSE/BSE and are reflected in the NAV of the scheme. Fees are paid to the custodian for its custody services. The custodian is entitled to a fee that is accrued daily at an annual rate of the average daily aggregate value of the gold held in the scheme allocated account payable in monthly installments in arrears. The AMC will sell gold held by the scheme on an as-needed basis to pay the scheme’s expenses. As a result, the amount of gold to be sold will vary from time to time depending on the level of the scheme’s expenses and the market price of gold. Impact on Scheme Expenses Each time the scheme’s gold is sold to pay the scheme’s expenses, the amount of gold represented by each outstanding unit will be reduced. The following table demonstrates the impact of the scheme’s anticipated ordinary operating expenses on the NAV of the scheme over a five-year period base on the following assumptions. A beginning NAV of 95.78 crores based on 10 lakh units issued in exchange of 1000 Kgs of gold at a price of 1. Rs. 957.80 per gram. 2. No creations or redemptions of baskets over the five-year period.

The above calculations are solely for the purpose of understanding of how the expenses will be recovered. The values taken for consideration may undergo changes depending on the actual expenses incurred. The calculations shown above are made assuming a constant price of gold over a period of 5 years. In practice, the actual prices of gold may increase or decrease and the NAV of the fund would proportionately increase or decrease as compared to the price of 1 gram of gold depending on the cash represented by 1 unit. As per the Regulations, RCAM can charge Investment Management Fees @ 1.25% of the average daily net assets for a corpus upto Rs.100 crores and 1% on the balance amount above Rs.100 crores, calculated on a daily basis. However, no AMC fees can be chargeable on RCAM's investment in the Scheme. The Trustee Company, RCTC, shall be entitled to receive a sum computed @ 0.05% of the Unit Capital of all the Schemes of RMF on 1st April each year or a sum of Rs.5,00,000/- which ever is lower or such other sum as may be agreed upon between the Settlor (RCL) and the Trustee (RCTC) from time to time in accordance with the SEBI Regulations or any other authority, from time to time. The above estimates have been made in good faith as per the information available to RCAM and are subject to change as per actuals. Expenses on an ongoing basis will not exceed the following percentage of the daily average net assets or such maximum limits as may be specified by SEBI Regulations from time to time.

Net Assets Maximum Expenses % Upto Rs.100 crores 2.50% Next Rs. 300 crores 2.25% Next Rs.300 crores 2.00% Balance 1.75%

Provided that such expenses shall be lesser by atleast 0.25% of the daily average net assets outstanding in each financial year in respect of a scheme investing in bonds.

Page 77: Reliancegold Etf Offer Document

The certain tax benefits are available to the Mutual Fund and the Unit holders as mentioned hereinafter. It may however be noted that the information given herein is only for general information purposes, as per the Tax laws currently in force in India. As is the case with any interpretation of any law, 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 be accepted by the tax authorities or will continue to be accepted by them indefinitely. Further statements with regard to tax benefits mentioned herein below are mere expressions of opinion and are not representations of the Mutual Fund to induce any investor to acquire units whether directly from the Mutual Fund or indirectly from any other persons by the secondary market operations. In view of the above, and since the individual nature of tax consequences may differ in each case on its merits and facts, each Investor / Unit holder is advised to consult his / her or its own professional tax advisor with respect to the specific tax implications arising out of its participation in the Scheme, as a unit holder. In view of the above, it is advised that the unit holders appropriately consult their investment / tax advisors in this regard. Tax Benefits to the Mutual Fund : Reliance Mutual Fund is a Mutual Fund registered with the Securities & Exchange Board of India and hence the entire income of the Mutual Fund will be exempt from income tax in accordance with the provisions of Section 10(23D) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, (the Act). The Mutual Fund will receive all income without any deduction of tax at source under the provisions of Section 196(iv) of the Act. An exemption has been granted under the Finance (No.2) Act, 2004 to open ended equity oriented mutual funds from paying distribution tax on income distributed without any time limit, effective from 1 April 2004. However, as per the taxation laws in force, read with Chapter VII of the Finance (No. 2) Act, 2004 pertaining to Dividend Distribution Tax, it is provided that on income distribution, if any, made by the Fund, on or after 1 April, 2004, to its Unitholders, being Individuals and Hindu Undivided Family, Dividend Distribution tax will be payable under Section 115R of the Act, at the rate of 14.025 % (inclusive of surcharge and additional surcharge called Education Cess on income-tax), and to other Unitholders at the rate of 22.44% (inclusive of surcharge and additional surcharge called Education Cess on income-tax), except, inter alia, in the case of equity-oriented funds (including close ended equity funds)(i.e. such fund where the investible funds are invested by way of equity shares in domestic companies to the extent of more than 65% of the total proceeds of such Fund), where no such tax will be payable. The RGETF is categorized as a scheme other than equity oriented mutual fund scheme. "Equity oriented fund" is defined as - • a fund where the investible funds are invested by way of equity shares in domestic companies to the extent of more than sixty five percent of the total proceeds of such fund; and • which has been set up under a scheme of a Mutual Fund specified in Section 10 (23D) of the Act. RGETF is classified as a Scheme other than Equity Oriented Mutual Fund Scheme. Hence, Securities Transaction Tax is not applicable in respect of RGETF. By virtue of section 45 of the Wealth Tax Act, 1957, wealth tax is not chargeable in respect of net wealth of a Mutual Fund registered under section 10(23D) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, hence Reliance Mutual Fund is not liable to pay Wealth Tax under the provisions of the Wealth Tax Act, 1957.
