Equity

Investments

o o o o o

The investment approach would be based on the concept of economic earning power and cash return on investments. Five basic principles serve as the foundation for this investment approach. They are as follows : Focus on the long term View our investments as conferring a proportionate ownership of the business. Maintain a margin of safety (i.e. the price of purchase represents a discount to the intrinsic value of that business). Maintain a balanced outlook on the market by regularly monitoring economic trends and investor sentiment. The decision to sell a holding would be based on one of three reasons : The anticipated price appreciation has been achieved or is no longer probable; or Alternative investments offer superior total return prospects; or A fundamental change has occurred in the company or the market in which it competes.

In summary, the assessment of investment value is a function of extensive research and based on data and reasoning, rather than current fashion and emotion. The idea is to develop a model that allows us to identify "businesses with superior growth prospects and good management, at a reasonable price" . In order to implement the investment approach effectively, it would be important to periodically meet the management face to face. This would provide an understanding of thei broad vision and commitment to the long-term business objectives. These meetings would also be useful in assessing key determinants of management quality such as orientation to minority shareholders, ability to cope with adversity and approach to allocating surplus cash flows. Discussions with management would also enable benchmarking actual performance against stated commitments.

Investments will be made through secondary market purchases, initial public offers, other public offers, placements and right offers (including renunciation) and negotiated deals. The securities could be listed, unlisted, privately placed, secured / unsecured, rated / unrated of any maturity. The AMC retains the flexibility to invest across all the securities / instruments in debt and money market. Investment in debt securities will usually be in instruments which have been assessed as "high investment grade" by at least one credit rating agency authorised to carry out such activity under the applicable regulations. In case a debt instrument is not rated, prior approval of the Board of Directors of Trustee and AMC will be obtained for such an investment. Investment in debt instruments shall generally have a low risk profile and those in money market instruments shall have an even lower risk profile. The maturity profile of debt instruments will be selected in accordance with the AMC's view regarding current market conditions, interest rate outlook and the stability of ratings. Pursuant to the SEBI Regulations, the Scheme shall not make any investment in :

any unlisted security of an associate or group company of the Sponsor; or any security issued by way of private placement by an associate or group company of the Sponsor; or the listed securities of group companies of the Sponsor which is in excess of 25% of the net assets.

The Scheme may also invest in suitable investment avenues in overseas financial markets for the purpose of diversification, commensurate with the Scheme objectives and subject to necessary stipulations by SEBI / RBI.
