Sector or are related to the Infrastructure growth depending on the relevance of that sector to the
investment objective of the scheme

The Scheme will purchase securities in the public offerings and rights issues, as well as those
traded in the secondary markets. On occasions, if deemed appropriate, the Scheme will invest in
securities sold directly by the issuer, or acquired in a negotiated transaction or issued by way of
private placement. The moneys collected under this scheme shall be invested only in transferable
securities.
Thus looking at a multi cap strategy with a medium to long term investment horizon

Product Features
Type of Scheme – An Open-ended Equity Scheme

Investment Objective -The primary investment objective of the scheme is to generate long term
capital appreciation by investing predominantly in equity and equity related instruments of
companies engaged in infrastructure and infrastructure related sectors and which are
incorporated or have their area of primary activity, in India and the secondary objective is to
generate consistent returns by investing in debt and money market securities.

Asset Allocation
Under normal circumstances, the proposed asset allocation would be:

Indicative asset allocation (%


Instruments of total assets) Risk Profile
Minimum Maximum
Equities and equity related securities including
derivatives engaged in infrastructure sectors and
infrastructure related sectors# 65% 100% Medium to High
Debt and Money market securities** (including
investments in securitised debt) 0% 35% Low to Medium
** including securitised debt upto 30%
Atleast 65% of investment would be made in equity /equity related securities of companies
engaged in infrastructure sectors and infrastructure related sectors.
If the Fund Manager decides to invest in ADRs / GDRs issued by Indian / foreign companies and
in foreign Securities in accordance with SEBI Regulations in the Scheme, it is the intention of the
Fund Manager that such investments will not normally exceed 20% of the net assets of the
Scheme.

#an overall limit of 100% of the portfolio value has been introduced for the purpose of equity
derivatives in the scheme. The margin money requirement for the purpose of derivative exposure

6 Product/PN/Ver1.0/25th May 2009


will be as per the SEBI Regulations. The derivate exposure will be restricted to such limit so that
the scheme does not leverage upon margin requirements.

The Scheme may take derivatives position based on the opportunities available subject to the
guidelines issued by SEBI from time to time and in line with the overall investment objective of the
Scheme. These may be taken to hedge the portfolio, rebalance the same or to undertake any other
strategy as permitted under the SEBI Regulations.

The fund will also invest in Pre IPO Placement, lock-in non transferable securities and up to 5% or
max permissible limit in Unlisted Securities.

The above Asset Allocation Pattern is only indicative. The investment manager in line with the
investment objective may alter the above pattern for short term and on defensive consideration.

Plans Available: The scheme will have the following plans /options
‰ Retail Plan
‰ Institutional Plan
Each of the above plans will have Growth & Dividend Plans respectively as specified below
‰ Growth Plan: Growth Option & Bonus Option
‰ Dividend Plan: Dividend Payout Option & Dividend Reinvestment Option

Benchmark Index
BSE 100
Considering the investment in the fund made in equity /equity related securities of companies
engaged in infrastructure sectors and infrastructure related sectors, we propose to have BSE 100
as a benchmark since majority of the stocks relate to the sectors which would contribute to the
infrastructure growth or to diversified companies, where a major portion of their revenues (primary
activity) is derived from the infrastructure related activities.
