III. Risk Factors and Special Considerations

A. Standard Risk Factors
u
Mutual funds, like securities investments, are subject to market risks and there is no guarantee against loss in any Scheme or that the Schemes' objectives will be achieved. As with any investment in securities, the NAV of the Units issued under the Schemes can go up or down depending on various factors and forces affecting capital and money markets. Past performance of the Sponsor or the AMC or the mutual funds managed by the Sponsor does not indicate the future performance of the Schemes. Investors in the Schemes are not being offered a guaranteed or assured rate of return. Fidelity Equity Fund, Fidelity Tax Advantage Fund, Fidelity India Special Situations Fund, Fidelity Short Term Income Fund and Fidelity Cash Fund are the names of the Schemes, and do not in any manner indicate the quality of the Schemes, their future prospects or returns. As per SEBI circular no. SEBI / IMD / CIR No. 10 / 22701 / 03 dated December 12, 2003, each scheme (including the plans thereunder) should have a minimum of 20 Unit Holders and no single Unit Holder should account for more than 25% of the corpus of such scheme. The aforesaid conditions should be met in each calendar quarter on an average basis. In case of non-fulfilment with the first condition i.e. minimum of 20 investors in the Scheme, for each calendar quarter as specified by SEBI, the Scheme shall be wound up by following the guidelines prescribed by SEBI and Unit Holders' investment in such Scheme would be redeemed at the Applicable NAV. SEBI has further prescribed that if any investor breaches the 25% limit over a quarter, a rebalancing period of one month will be allowed to the investor and thereafter the investor who is in breach of the limit shall be given 15 days notice to redeem his exposure over the 25% limit. In the event of failure on part of the said investor to redeem the excess exposure, the excess holding will be automatically redeemed by the Fund following the guidelines prescribed by SEBI.
Money market instruments may also be subject to price volatility due to factors such as changes in interest rates, general level of market liquidity and market perception of credit worthiness of the issuer of such instruments. The AMC endeavours to manage such risk by the use of inhouse credit analysis. The NAV of Equity Schemes' Units, to the extent that such Schemes are invested in money market instruments, will be affected by the changes in the level of interest rates. When interest rates in the market rise, the value of a portfolio of money market instruments can be expected to decline.
C. Risk Factors pertaining to Debt Schemes

Risk Factors
u
The performance of Debt Schemes may be affected by changes in Government policies, general levels of interest rates and risks associated with trading volumes, liquidity and settlement systems. Interest rate risk: As with all debt securities, changes in interest rates may affect the NAV of the Debt Schemes since the price of a fixed income instrument falls when the interest rates move up and vice a versa. The effect is more prominent when the duration of the instrument is higher. Hence the NAV movement of the Debt Schemes consisting of predominantly fixed income securities is likely to have inverse correlation with the movement in interest rates. In case of a floating rate instrument, this risk is lower as a result of periodic reset of the coupon. Spread risk: Though the sovereign yield curve might remain constant, investments in corporate bonds are exposed to the risk of spread widening between corporate bonds and gilts. Typically, if this spread widens, the prices of the corporate bonds tend to fall and so could the NAV of the Debt Schemes. Similar risk prevails for the investments in the floating rate bonds, where the benchmark might remain unchanged, but the spread over the benchmark might vary. In such an event, if the spread widens, the price and the NAV could fall. Credit risk or default risk: This refers to inability of the issuer of the debt security to make timely payments of principal and / or interest due. It is reflected in the credit rating of the issuer. Hence if the credit rating of the issuer is downgraded, the price of the security will suffer a loss and the NAV will fall. Credit risk factors pertaining to lower rated securities also apply to lower rated zero coupon and deferred interest kind bonds. Lower rated zero coupon and deferred interest kind bonds carry an additional risk in that, unlike bonds that pay interest through the period of maturity, the Debt Schemes by investing in these bonds will realize no cash till the cash payment date and if the issuer defaults, the Scheme may obtain no return on its investment. Separately, underlying assets in securitised debt may assume different forms and the general types of receivables include auto finance, credit cards, home loans or any such receipts. Credit risks relating to such receivables depend upon various factors, including macro-economic factors of these industries and economies. Specific factors like nature and adequacy of property mortgaged against these borrowings, nature of loan agreement / mortgage deed in case of home loans, adequacy of documentation in case of auto finance and home loans, capacity of a borrower to meet his obligations on borrowings in case of credit cards and intentions of the borrower influence the risks relating to asset borrowings underlying securitised debt. Liquidity risk: This represents the possibility that the realised price from selling the security might be lesser than the valuation price as a result of illiquid market. If a large outflow from the Scheme is funded by selling some of the illiquid securities, the NAV could fall even if there is no change in interest rates. Illiquid securities are typically quoted at a higher yield than the liquid securities and have higher bid offer spreads. Investment in illiquid securities results
B. Risk Factors pertaining to Equity Schemes

u
Equity and equity related securities are volatile and prone to price fluctuations on a daily basis. The liquidity of investments made in the Equity Schemes may be restricted by trading volumes and settlement periods. Settlement periods may be extended significantly by unforeseen circumstances. The inability of the Equity Schemes to make intended securities purchases, due to settlement problems, could cause the Equity Schemes to miss certain investment opportunities. Similarly, the inability to sell securities held in the Equity Schemes' portfolios would result at times, in potential losses to the respective Equity Schemes, should there be a subsequent decline in the value of securities held in such Equity Schemes' portfolios. Investments in equity and equity related securities involve a degree of risks and investors should not invest in Equity Schemes unless they can afford to take the risk of losing their investment. The liquidity and valuation of the Schemes' investments due to its holdings of unlisted securities may be affected if they have to be sold prior to the target date of disinvestment. Investments in money market instruments would involve a moderate credit risk i.e. risk of an issuer's liability to meet the principal payments.

in higher current yield for the portfolio. Liquidity risk is a characteristic of the Indian fixed income market today. In addition, money market securities, while fairly liquid, lack a well-developed secondary market, which may restrict the selling ability of the Scheme and may lead to the Scheme incurring losses till the security is finally sold.
u u
Risk Factors
Reinvestment risk: This is associated with the fact that the intermediate cash flows (coupons, prepayment of principal in case of securitised transactions or principal payment in case a security gets called or repurchased) may not be reinvested at the same yield as assumed in the original calculations. In case of securitised debt, changes in market interest rates and pre-payments may not change the absolute amount of receivables for the investors but may have an impact on the re-investment of the periodic cash flows that an investor receives on securitised papers. Settlement risk: Different segments of Indian financial markets have different settlement periods and such periods may be extended significantly by unforeseen circumstances. Delays or other problems in settlement of transactions could result in temporary periods when the assets of the Scheme are uninvested and no return is earned thereon. The inability of the Debt Schemes to make intended securities purchases, due to settlement problems, could cause the Debt Schemes to miss certain investment opportunities. Similarly, the inability to sell securities held in the Debt Schemes' portfolio, due to the absence of a well developed and liquid secondary market for debt securities, may result at times in potential losses to such Schemes in the event of a subsequent decline in the value of securities held in the Debt Schemes' portfolios. Market risk: Lower rated or unrated securities are more likely to react to developments affecting the market and the credit risk than the highly rated securities which react primarily to movements in the general level of interest rates. Lower rated or unrated securities also tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities. Pre-payment risk: Asset securitization is a process whereby commercial or consumer credits are packaged and sold in the form of financial instruments. In the event of pre-payment of the underlying debt, investors may be exposed to changes in tenor and yield. In addition to the factors that affect the values of securities, the NAV of Units of Debt Schemes will fluctuate with the movement in the broader fixed income market, money market and derivatives market and may be influenced by factors influencing such markets in general including but not limited to economic conditions, changes in interest rates, price and volume volatility in the bond and stock markets, changes in taxation, currency exchange rates, foreign investments, political, economic or other developments and closure of the stock exchanges. Investments in different types of securities are subject to different levels and kinds of risk. Accordingly, the Debt Schemes' risk may increase or decrease depending upon its investment pattern. E.g. investments in corporate bonds carry a higher level of risk than investments in Government securities. Further, even among corporate bonds, bonds which have a higher rating are comparatively less risky than bonds which have a lower rating.
Trading in derivatives carry a high degree of risk although they are traded at a relatively small amount of margin which provides the possibility of great profit or loss in comparison with the principal investment amount. Thus, derivatives are highly leveraged instruments. Even a small price movement in the underlying security could have an impact on their value and consequently, on the NAV of the Units of the Schemes. The Schemes may find it difficult or impossible to execute derivative transactions in certain circumstances. For example, when there are insufficient bids or suspension of trading due to price limit or circuit breakers, the Schemes may face a liquidity issue. The options buyer's risk is limited to the premium paid, while the risk of an options writer is unlimited. However the gains of an options writer are limited to the premiums earned. Since in case of the Schemes all option positions will have underlying assets, all losses due to price-movement beyond the strike price will actually be an opportunity loss. The Exchange may impose restrictions on exercise of options and may also restrict the exercise of options at certain times in specified circumstances. The writer of a put option bears the risk of loss if the value of the underlying asset declines below the exercise price. The writer of a call option bears a risk of loss if the value of the underlying asset increases above the exercise price. Investments in index futures face the same risk as the investments in a portfolio of shares representing an index. The extent of loss is the same as in the underlying stocks. The Schemes bear a risk that it may not be able to correctly forecast future market trends or the value of assets, indices or other financial or economic factors in establishing derivative positions for the Schemes. The risk of loss in trading futures contracts can be substantial, because of the low margin deposits required, the extremely high degree of leverage involved in futures pricing and the potential high volatility of the futures markets. There is the possibility that a loss may be sustained by the portfolio as a result of the failure of another party (usually referred to as the "counter party") to comply with the terms of the derivatives contract. Other risks in using derivatives include the risk of mispricing or improper valuation of derivatives and the inability of derivatives to correlate perfectly with underlying assets, rates and indices. Interest Rate Swaps (IRS) are highly specialized instruments that require investment technique and risk analysis different from those associated with equity shares and other traditional securities. The use of a IRS requires not only an understanding of the referenced asset, reference rate or index but also of the swap itself, without the benefit of observing the performance of the swap under all possible market conditions. Swap agreements are also subject to liquidity risk, which exists when a particular swap is difficult to purchase or sell. Swap agreements may be subject to pricing risk, which exists when a particular swap becomes extraordinarily expensive (or cheap) relative to historical prices or the prices of corresponding cash market instruments. IRS agreements are also subject to counterparty risk on account of insolvency or bankruptcy or failure of the counterparty to make required payments or otherwise comply with the terms of the agreement.
D. Risk Factors associated with trading in Derivatives

u
Derivative products are specialized instruments that require investment techniques and risk analysis different from those associated with stocks and bonds. The use of a derivative requires an understanding not only of the underlying instrument but of the derivative itself. The derivatives market in India is nascent and does not have the volumes that may be seen in other developed markets, which may result in volatility to the values.
E. Risk Factors associated with Scrip Lending

The risks in lending portfolio securities, as with other extensions of credit, consist of the failure of another party, in this case the approved intermediary, to comply with the terms of agreement entered into between the lender of securities i.e. any scheme
10
and the approved intermediary. Such failure to comply can result in the possible loss of rights in the collateral put up by the borrower of the securities, the inability of the approved intermediary to return the securities deposited by the lender and the possible loss of any corporate benefits accruing to the lender from the securities deposited with the approved intermediary. The Mutual Fund may not be able to sell such lent securities and this can lead to temporary illiquidity.

Neither this Offer Document nor the Units have been registered in any other jurisdiction. The distribution of this Offer Document in certain jurisdictions may be restricted or totally prohibited and accordingly, persons who come into possession of this Offer Document are required to inform themselves about, and to observe, any such restrictions. Prospective investors should review / study this Offer Document carefully and in its entirety and shall not construe the contents hereof or regard the summaries contained herein as advice relating to legal, taxation or financial / investment matters and are advised to consult their own professional advisor(s) as to the legal, tax, financial or any other requirements or restrictions relating to the subscription, gifting, acquisition, holding, disposal (by way of sale, switch or Redemption or conversion into money) of Units and to the treatment of income (if any), capitalisation, capital gains, any distribution and other tax consequences relevant to their subscription, acquisition, holding, capitalisation, disposal (by way of sale, transfer, switch or conversion into money) of Units within their jurisdiction of nationality, residence, incorporation, domicile etc. or under the laws of any jurisdiction to which they or any managed funds to be used to Purchase / gift Units are subject, and also to determine possible legal, tax, financial or other consequences of subscribing / gifting, purchasing or holding Units before making an application for Units. Fidelity Mutual Fund / the AMC have not authorised any person to give any information or make any representations, either oral or written, not stated in this Offer Document in connection with issue of Units under the Schemes. Prospective investors are advised not to rely upon any information or representations not incorporated in this Offer Document as the same have not been authorised by the Fund or the AMC. Any subscription, Purchase or sale made by any person on the basis of statements or representations which are not contained in this Offer Document or which are inconsistent with the information contained herein shall be solely at the risk of the investor. Subject to the Regulations, from time to time, funds managed by the affiliates / associates of the Sponsor may invest either directly or indirectly in the Schemes. The funds managed by these affiliates / associates may acquire a substantial portion of any Scheme's Units and collectively constitute a major investment in such Scheme. Accordingly, Redemption of Units held by such funds may have an adverse impact on the value of the Units of that Scheme because of the timing of any such Redemption and may affect the ability of other Unit Holders to redeem their respective Units. As the liquidity of the Schemes' investments may sometimes be restricted by trading volumes settlement periods and transfer procedures, the time taken by the Fund for Redemption of Units may be significant in the event of an inordinately large number of Redemption requests or of restructuring of the Schemes' portfolios. In view of this, the Trustee has the right, in its sole discretion, to limit redemptions under certain circumstances - please refer paragraph "Right to Limit Redemptions" in Chapter VII. Anti Money Laundering and Know Your Customer (KYC): Fidelity is committed to complying with all applicable anti money laundering and KYC laws and regulations in all of its operations. Fidelity recognises the value and importance of creating a business environment that strongly discourages money launderers from using Fidelity. To that end, certain policies have been adopted by the AMC. The need to "Know Your Customer" (KYC) is vital for the prevention of money laundering.
11
Subject to necessary approvals and within the investment objectives of the Schemes, the Schemes may invest in overseas markets which carry risks related to fluctuations in the foreign exchange rates, the nature of the securities market of the country, repatriation of capital due to exchange controls and political circumstances. It is the AMC's belief that investment in foreign securities offers new investment and portfolio diversification opportunities into multi-market and multi-currency products. However, such investments also entail additional risks. Such investment opportunities may be pursued by the AMC provided they are considered appropriate in terms of the overall investment objectives of the Schemes. Since the Schemes would invest only partially in foreign securities, there may not be readily available and widely accepted benchmarks to measure performance of such Schemes. To manage risks associated with foreign currency and interest rate exposure, the Fund may use derivatives for efficient portfolio management including hedging and in accordance with conditions as may be stipulated under the Regulations or by RBI from time to time. Overseas investments will be made subject to any / all approvals, conditions thereof as may be stipulated under the Regulations or by RBI and provided such investments do not result in expenses to the Fund in excess of the ceiling on expenses prescribed by and consistent with costs and expenses attendant to international investing. The Fund may, where necessary, appoint other intermediaries of repute as advisors, custodian / sub-custodians etc. for managing and administering such investments. The appointment of such intermediaries shall be in accordance with the applicable requirements of SEBI and within the permissible ceilings of expenses. The fees and expenses would illustratively include, besides the investment management fees, custody fees and costs, fees of appointed advisors and sub-managers, transaction costs and overseas regulatory costs. To the extent that the assets of the Schemes will be invested in securities denominated in foreign currencies, the Indian Rupee equivalent of the net assets, distributions and income may be adversely affected by changes in the value of certain foreign currencies relative to the Indian Rupee. The repatriation of capital to India may also be hampered by changes in regulations concerning exchange controls or political circumstances as well as the application to it of other restrictions on investment.

G. Additional Scheme Specific Risk Factors

u
FTAF: By virtue of requirements under ELSS, Units issued under FTAF will not be redeemed until the expiry of three years from the date of their allotment. The ability of an investor to realise returns on investments in FTAF is consequently restricted for the first three years. Redemption will be made prior to the expiry of the aforesaid three year period only in the event of the death of a Unit Holder, subject to the Units having been held for a period of one year from the date of their allotment.

In terms of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 ("PMLA") the rules issued there under and the guidelines / circulars issued by SEBI regarding the Anti Money Laundering (AML) Laws, all intermediaries, including Mutual Funds, are required to formulate and implement a client identification programme, and to verify and maintain the record of identity and address(es) of investors. The Mutual Fund Industry has collectively entrusted the responsibility of collection of documents relating to identity and address and record keeping to an independent agency (presently CDSL Ventures Limited) that will act as central record keeping agency ('Central Agency'). As a token of having verified the identity and address and for efficient retrieval of records, the Central Agency will issue an acknowledgement to each investor who submits an application and the prescribed documents to the Central Agency. Investors who have obtained an acknowledgement can invest in the schemes of the mutual fund by referring to / submitting the acknowledgement in lieu of submitting information and documents required under AML Laws.
Risk Factors
regards money laundering, the AMC shall report any suspicious transactions to competent authorities under the PMLA and rules / guidelines issued thereunder by SEBI and RBI, furnish any such information in connection therewith to such authorities and take any other actions as may be required for the purposes of fulfilling its obligations under the PMLA without obtaining the prior approval of the investor / Unit Holder / a person making the payment on behalf of the investor.
u
Investors who wish to obtain an acknowledgement have to submit a completed Application Form (the Form') along with all the prescribed documents listed in the Form, at any of the Point of Service ('POS'). The Form is available at our website (www.fidelity.co.in) and AMFI website (www.amfiindia.com). POS are the designated centres appointed by the Central Agency for receiving the Forms, processing data and providing the acknowledgement. List of and location of POS are available at our website (www.fidelity.co.in) and www.amfiindia.com. On submission of application, documents and information to the satisfaction of the POS, the investor will be given an acknowledgement across the counter. Subsequently, the Central Agency will scrutinize the information and documents submitted by the investor. In case of any deficiency in the document / information, the form will be rejected. Presently, it is mandatory for all applications for Subscription of value of Rs.50,000 and above to quote the PAN of all the applicants (guardian in case of minor) in the application for Subscription. The PAN will be validated with the records of the Central Agency before allotting units. Applications for subscriptions of value of Rs.50,000 and above without a valid PAN will be rejected. In the event of any Form being subsequently rejected for lack of information / deficiency / insufficiency of mandatory documentation, the investment transaction will be cancelled and the amount may be redeemed at Applicable NAV, subject to payment of Exit Load, wherever applicable. Such redemption proceeds will be dispatched within a maximum period of 21 days from date of acceptance of the application. All investors (both individual and non-individual) can submit the Form for the purpose of KYC. However, applicants should note that minors cannot make an application and any investment in the name of minors should be along with a guardian, who should obtain an acknowledgement for the purpose of investing with a Mutual Fund. Also, applicants / Unit Holders intending to apply for units / currently holding units and operating their Mutual Fund folios through a Power of Attorney (PoA) must ensure that the issuer of the PoA and the holder of the PoA must obtain the acknowledgement at the time of investment of value of Rs. 50, 000 and above. PoA holders are not permitted to make an application on behalf of the issuer of the PoA. Separate procedures are prescribed for change in name, address and other related details, should the applicant desire to change such information. POS will extend the services of effecting such changes. Suspicious Transaction Reporting: If after due diligence, the AMC believes that the transaction is suspicious in nature as
Investor Protection : (a) FEF, FISSF: The Schemes are designed to support longer-term investment and active trading is discouraged. Short term or excessive trading into and out of FEF or FISSF may affect its performance by disrupting portfolio management strategies and by increasing expenses. The Fund and the distributors may refuse to accept applications for Purchase, especially where transactions are deemed disruptive, particularly from market timers or investors who, in their opinion, have a pattern of short term or excessive trading or whose trading has been or may be disruptive for FEF or FISSF. If in the opinion of the AMC, a Unit Holder is indulging in short term or excessive trading as above, it shall, under powers delegated by the Trustee, have absolute discretion to reject any application, prevent further transaction by the Unit Holder or redeem the Units held by the Unit Holder at any time prior to the expiry of 30 Business Days from the date of the application. (b) FSTIF: As the Scheme is a short term income scheme, it is designed to offer investors liquidity and the Fund anticipates that investors will come in and out of the Scheme frequently. Such frequent purchases and redemptions by investors can reduce the returns to long term investors by increasing expenses of the Scheme and can also disrupt portfolio management strategies. Therefore, the Scheme is proposed to be managed with these risks in mind. Though the Scheme has no limit on the number of purchases and redemptions by any investor, the AMC reserves the right, under powers delegated by the Trustee, to reject any application, prevent further transactions by a Unit Holder, or redeem the Units held by the Unit Holder at any time prior to the expiry of 30 Business Days from the date of submission of the application if, in the AMC's opinion, a Unit Holder has been indulging in excessively frequent trading or if his trading has been or may be disruptive for the Scheme. (c) FCF: As the Scheme is a cash / liquid scheme, it is designed to offer investors liquidity and the Fund anticipates that investors will come in and out of the Scheme frequently. Such frequent purchases and redemptions by investors can reduce the returns to long term investors by increasing expenses of the Scheme and can also disrupt portfolio management strategies. Therefore, the Scheme is proposed to be managed with these risks in mind. Though the Scheme has no limit on the number of purchases and redemptions by any investor, the AMC reserves the right, under powers delegated by the Trustee, to reject any application, prevent further transactions by a Unit Holder, or redeem the Units held by the Unit Holder at any time prior to the expiry of 30 Business Days from the date of submission of the application if, in the AMC's opinion, a Unit Holder has been indulging in excessively frequent trading or if his trading has been or may be disruptive for the Scheme.

V. Investment Objective, Investment Strategy, Investment Pattern and Risk Profile and Limitations of the Schemes
A. Schemes on Offer I. Fidelity Equity Fund
i. Type of Scheme
the event of deviations, rebalancing will be carried out within 10 Business Days. Equity related securities include equity warrants and compulsorily convertible instruments. Money market instruments and Mutual Fund Units: Investments other than in equity will be made for managing liquidity. The preferred instruments will be Money market instruments. Money market instruments include commercial papers, commercial bills, treasury bills, Government securities having an unexpired maturity upto one year, call or notice money, certificate of deposit, usance bills and any other like instruments as specified by Reserve Bank of India from time to time. For the purpose of further diversification and liquidity, the Scheme may invest in another equity scheme managed by the same AMC or by the AMC of any other Mutual Fund without charging any fees on such investments, provided that aggregate interscheme investment made by all schemes managed by the same AMC or by the AMC of any other Mutual Fund shall not exceed 5% of the net asset value of the Fund. The Scheme does not intend to invest in securitised debt.
ii.
Investment Objective
The investment objective of the Scheme is to generate longterm capital growth from a diversified portfolio of predominantly equity and equity-related securities. There is no assurance that the objective of the Scheme will be realised and the Scheme does not assure or guarantee any returns. For defensive considerations and / or for managing liquidity, the Scheme may also invest in money market instruments. The Scheme does not intend to and shall not invest in derivative instruments of any kind. The performance of the Scheme will be benchmarked against the BSE-200 Index.
II. Fidelity Tax Advantage Fund

The investment objective and the strategy to be adopted by the Scheme would be similar to Fidelity Equity Fund. However, it may differ to a certain extent on account of the mandatory lock-in period for the subscriptions received under the Scheme.
iii. Investment Strategy

The investment approach is bottom up stock picking. The Scheme seeks to add the best opportunities that the market presents, without any sector / cap bias. The key features of the Fund's investment strategy include: Diversification: The Scheme will be well diversified across sectors in about 60 to 80 stocks. Maximum exposure to a single sector shall be 25% of the net assets of the Scheme. Individual holdings will rarely exceed 4% of net assets of the Scheme. The Scheme is likely to be fully invested in equity at all times. Bottom-up stock picking: Consistent with Fidelity's approach, the Scheme focuses on bottom-up stock picking (i.e. focussing solely on prospects of individual stocks) as opposed to a topdown approach (i.e. predicting macro economic and political trends and taking investment decisions based on them). No cap bias: It will seek to identify the best stocks at a point in time, regardless of any market cap bias.

Under normal circumstances, it is anticipated that the asset allocation shall be as follows: Instrument Normal Allocation (% of net assets) 95% 5% Range of Allocation (% of net assets) 80% to 100% 0% to 20% Risk Profile

The investment approach is bottom up stock picking. The Scheme seeks to add the best opportunities that the market presents, without any sector / cap bias. The key features of the Fund's investment strategy include: Diversification: The Scheme will be well diversified across sectors in about 60 to 80 stocks but it could hold more than 80 stocks at any given time. Maximum exposure to a single sector shall be 25% of the net assets of the Scheme. While holdings in individual stocks will generally not exceed 4% of net assets of the Scheme, there may be times when considering the investment opportunities, holdings in certain stocks could be in excess of 4%. The Scheme is likely to be fully invested in equity at all times. Bottom-up stock picking: Consistent with Fidelity's approach, the Scheme focuses on bottom-up stock picking (i.e. focussing solely on prospects of individual stocks) as opposed to a topdown approach (i.e. predicting macro economic and political trends and taking investment decisions based on them).

Equity and equity related securities* Money market instruments
High Low to Medium
* Includes investments in Offshore securities, ADRs and GDRs not exceeding 10% of the net assets of the Scheme as on March 31 of each relevant year. The corpus of the assets of the Scheme shall be predominantly invested in equity and equity related securities. However, due to market conditions, the AMC may invest beyond the range set out above. Such deviations shall normally be for a short term purpose only, for defensive considerations and the intention being at all times to protect the interests of the Unit Holders. In

No cap bias: It will seek to identify the best stocks at a point in time, regardless of any market cap bias.

The Scheme will primarily be a diversified equity fund which will seek to invest in undervalued companies for long term investment with key theme focus being "Special Situations" these are situations that are out-of-the-ordinary and which therefore present interesting stock picking opportunities. The types of companies that may fall within the scope of such Special Situations could include but are not limited to: companies with recovery potential. companies whose growth potential, may not be fully recognised by the market. companies with hidden / undervalued assets whose value, may not be fully recognised by the market. companies with interesting product pipelines which could offer good earnings potential. companies undertaking corporate restructuring. companies which could be potential candidates for mergers and acquisitions related activities.

High Low to Medium
* Includes investments in Offshore securities, ADRs and GDRs not exceeding 10% of the net assets of the Scheme as on March 31 of each relevant year. The corpus of the assets of the Scheme shall be predominantly invested in equity and equity related securities. In accordance with ELSS, investments in equity and equity related securities will not fall below 80% of the net assets of the Scheme. As per ELSS, the Scheme after 3 years from the date of allotment of Units could hold investments in short term money market instruments or other liquid instruments or both only up to 20% of its net assets.
Equity related securities include equity warrants and compulsorily convertible instruments. In case the investments are made in partly convertible issues of debentures and bonds including those issued on right basis, the non convertible portion of the debentures / bonds so acquired will be disinvested within a period of 12 months as specified in ELSS. Money market instruments: Investments other than in equity will be made for managing liquidity. The preferred instruments will be Money market instruments. Money market instruments include commercial papers, commercial bills, treasury bills, Government securities having an unexpired maturity upto one year, call or notice money, certificate of deposit, usance bills and any other like instruments as specified by Reserve Bank of India from time to time. The Scheme does not intend to invest in securitised debt.
The investment approach will be bottom-up stock picking - where investments will be selected primarily on the basis of specific criteria relevant to the company in question rather than general macro-economic considerations. There will be no particular bias towards any market cap size or any sector. The Scheme will endeavour to remain fully invested in equity and related instruments at all times. A limited exposure to various derivatives instruments is likely - for the purposes of hedging, portfolio balancing and optimising returns. In Fund Manager's opinion, some recent examples of companies offering potential Special Situations were: A major auto manufacturer - (Hidden Value / Restructuring). The stock is up about 150% in less than 12 months as the market appears to have recognized underlying value of insurance and other subsidiaries and potential restructuring efforts by the management to unlock this value. A telecom company - (Under appreciated Growth). The stock has been re-rated and is up nearly 10 times in less than 3 years as the company has delivered better than expected growth and market has gained improved appreciation of underlying growth potential of the business. These are a few illustrative examples of what the Fund Manager believes could have been described as companies in Special Situations. This does not indicate the Fund's preference for these companies over others. Neither does this mean that other companies have not fared better than these companies. It is also not necessary that the Scheme will have these companies in its portfolio. These examples are provided only to help investors get a better understanding of the term 'Special Situations'.

i. Type of Scheme
ii.
The investment objective of the Scheme is to generate longterm capital growth from a diversified portfolio of predominantly equity and equity-related securities including equity derivatives. There is no assurance that the objective of the Scheme will be realised and the Scheme does not assure or guarantee any returns. For defensive considerations and / or for managing liquidity, the Scheme may also invest in money market instruments. The Scheme may invest in derivatives instruments to the extent permitted under and in accordance with the applicable Regulations, including for the purposes of hedging, portfolio balancing and optimizing returns. Hedging does not mean maximization of returns but only attempts to reduce systemic or market risk that may be inherent in the investment. The performance of the Scheme will be benchmarked against the BSE-200 Index.

The corpus of the assets of the Scheme shall be predominantly invested in equity and equity related securities including equity derivatives. However, due to market conditions, the AMC may
invest beyond the range set out above. Such deviations shall normally be for a short term purpose only, for defensive considerations and the intention being at all times to protect the interests of the Unit Holders. In the event of deviations, rebalancing will normally be carried out within 10 Business Days. Equity related securities include equity warrants and compulsorily convertible instruments. Money market instruments and Mutual Fund Units: Investments other than in equity will be made for managing liquidity. The preferred instruments will be Money market instruments. Money market instruments include commercial papers, commercial bills, treasury bills, Government securities having an unexpired maturity upto one year, call or notice money, certificate of deposit, usance bills and any other like instruments as specified by Reserve Bank of India from time to time. For the purpose of further diversification and liquidity, the Scheme may invest in other equity schemes managed by the same AMC or by the asset management company of any other Mutual Fund without charging any fees on such investments, provided that aggregate inter-scheme investment made in all schemes managed by the same AMC or in schemes managed by the AMC of any other Mutual Fund shall not exceed 5% of the net asset value of the Fund.

The credit quality of the portfolio will be maintained and monitored using the in-house research capabilities as well as the inputs from the independent credit rating agencies. Investments in debt instruments carry various risks such as interest rate risk, liquidity risk, default risk, reinvestment risk etc. Whilst such risks cannot be eliminated, they may be minimized by diversification and effective use of hedging techniques. The Scheme may invest in derivatives up to 100% of the net assets of the Scheme for the purpose of hedging and portfolio balancing purposes. The Scheme may also invest in permitted offshore instruments for diversification.

The portfolio will be constructed and actively managed to generate returns to match the investment objective and to maintain adequate liquidity to accommodate funds movement. As the interest rate risk of the portfolio is likely to be similar to that of the shorter end of the maturity spectrum, in line with the investment objective, a significant proportion of the total returns is likely to be in the form of income yield or accrual. Selective capital appreciation opportunities could be explored by extending credit and duration exposure above that offered by a cash fund. The fund management team will take an active view of the interest rate movement supported by quantitative research, to include various parameters of the Indian economy, as well as developments in global markets.

D. Investment in Derivatives
i. Applicable to FISSF
The Scheme may invest in various derivatives instruments including futures (index and stock), options (index and stock) and forward contracts which are available for investment in Indian markets from time to time and which are permissible as per the applicable Regulations. Investment in such instruments will be made in accordance with the investment objective and the strategy of the Scheme to protect the value of the portfolio and to enhance returns. The investments shall also be subject to the internal limits as may be laid down from time to time and such limits and restrictions as may be prescribed by the Regulations or any other regulatory body. Initially the Scheme would invest only in 'stock and / or index futures'. Investments in other derivative instruments may be done by the Scheme only once the Trustees are comfortable that the systems for dealing, back office and accounting are in place for derivative instruments other than 'stock and / or index futures'. Before commencing the use of other derivative instruments, the Trustees will submit a separate confirmation to SEBI that the AMC has the necessary systems for dealing, back office and accounting in place for using other derivative instruments.

Index Future 1.14

Futures:
A futures contract is an agreement between the buyer and the seller for the purchase and sale of a particular asset at a specific future date. The price at which the asset would change hands in the future is agreed upon at the time of entering into the contract. The actual purchase or sale of the underlying asset involving payment of cash and delivery of the instrument does not take place until the contracted date of delivery. A futures contract involves an obligation on both the parties to fulfil the terms of the contract. Currently, futures contracts have a maximum expiration cycle of 3-months. Three contracts are available for trading, with 1 month, 2 months and 3 months expiry respectively. A new contract is introduced on the next trading day following the expiry of the relevant monthly contract. Futures contracts typically expire on the last Thursday of the month. For example a contract with the January expiration expires on the last Thursday of January.

Index Futures:
Index Futures began trading on NSE on June 12, 2000. A futures contract on the stock market index gives its owner the right and obligation to buy or sell the portfolio of stocks characterized by the index. Stock index futures are cash settled; there is no delivery of the underlying stocks. Let us assume that the Nifty Index at the beginning of the month October 2006 was 2840 and three futures indices as under were available: Month October November December Bid price 2845 2860 2875 Offer price 2855 2870 2890
Please note that the above example is based on assumptions and is used only for illustrative purposes (including an assumption that there will be a gain pursuant to investment in index futures). As can be seen in the above example, the costs associated with the trade in futures are less than that associated with the trade in actual stock. Thus, in the above example the futures trade seems to be more profitable than the trade in actual stock. However, buying of the index future may not be beneficial as compared to buying stocks if the execution and brokerage costs on purchase of index futures are high and the return on surplus funds are low. The actual returns may vary based on actuals and depends on final guidelines / procedures and trading mechanism as envisaged by stock exchanges and other regulatory authorities.
Stock Futures:
Stock futures were launched on 9th November 2001. A futures contract on a stock gives its owner the right and obligation to buy or sell the stocks. Like index futures, stock futures are also cash settled; there is no delivery of the underlying stocks. A purchase or sale of futures on a security gives the trader essentially the same price exposure as a purchase or sale of the security itself. In this regard, trading stock futures is no different from trading the security itself.
Example:
Assume that the spot price of the stock held by Mr. X is Rs. 390. Two-month futures cost him Rs. 402. For the futures contract he pays an initial margin. Now if the price of the security falls any further, he will suffer losses on the stock he holds. However, the losses he suffers on the stock will be offset by the profits he makes on his short futures position. For e.g. if the price of the stock held by him falls to Rs. 350, the fall in the price of the security will result in a fall in the price of futures. Futures will now trade at a price lower than the price at which he entered into a short futures position (assume futures trade at Rs. 340). Hence his short futures position will start making profits. The loss of Rs.40 incurred on the security he holds, will be made up by the profits of Rs. 62 (the initial margin paid and other related costs are not considered) made on his short futures position.
The Scheme could buy an index of October 2006 at the offer price of 2855. The Fund will be required to pay the initial margin as required by the exchanges. The following is a hypothetical example of a typical trade in index future and the costs associated with the trade. Particulars Index Future 2840 2855 15 Actual purchase of stocks 2840 NIL

Options:
1.14 1.42 An option is a contract which provides the buyer of the option (also called the holder) the right, without the obligation, to buy (call) or sell (put) a specified asset at an agreed price on or upto a particular date. For acquiring this right the buyer has to pay a premium to the seller. The seller on the other hand has the obligation to buy or sell that specified asset at the agreed price. The premium is determined considering number of factors such as the underlying asset's market price, the number of days to expiration, strike price of the option, the volatility of the underlying asset and the risk less rate of return. The strike price, the expiration date and the market lots are specified by the exchanges. An option contract may be of two kinds, viz., a call option or a put option. An option that provides the buyer the right to buy is a call option. The buyer of the call option (known as the holder of the option) can call upon the seller of the option (known as

writer of the option) and buy from him the underlying asset at the agreed price at any time on or before the expiry date of the option. The seller of the option has to fulfil the obligation on exercise of the option. The right to sell is called a put option. Here, the buyer of the option can exercise his right to sell the underlying asset to the seller of the option at the agreed price. Options are of two types: (a) European and (b) American. In a European option, the holder of the option can only exercise his right on the date of expiration. In an American option, he can exercise this right anytime between the purchase date and the expiration date.

Concepts and Examples:

Derivatives are financial contracts of pre-determined fixed duration, whose values are derived from the value of an underlying primary financial instrument, commodity or index, such as: interest rates, exchange rates, commodities and equities.
Interest Rate Swaps:

Interest Rate Swaps is an agreement between two parties (counterparties) to exchange payments at specified dates on the basis of a specific amount with reference to a specified reference rate. Swap Agreements provide for period payment dates for both parties where payments are netted and only the net amount is paid to the counterparty entitled to receive the net payment. Consequently, the Debt Schemes' current obligations (or rights) under a swap agreement will generally be equal only to the net amount to be paid or received under the agreement, based on the relative values of the possession held by each counterparty.
Example on options:
Buying a Call option: Assume that the Scheme buys a call option at the strike price of Rs. 2,000 and pays a premium of Rs. 100. If the market price of the underlying stock on the date of expiry of the option is Rs. 2,400 (i.e. more than Rs. 2,100 which is total of the strike price and the premium), the Scheme would earn profits. However, if on the date of the expiry of the option, the market price of the underlying stock is Rs. 1,900, the Scheme will not exercise the option and it shall lose the premium of Rs. 100. Thus, in the above example, the loss for the Scheme, as the buyer of the option, is limited to the premium paid by him while the gains are unlimited. Buying a Put Option: Assume that the Scheme buys a put option at the strike price of Rs. 2,000 and pays a premium of Rs. 100. If the market price of the underlying stock decreases to Rs.1,850 the Scheme would be protected from the downside and would only have to bear the loss of the premium of Rs 100 instead of a loss of Rs.150 whereas if the stock price moves up to say Rs. 2,150 the Scheme may let the option expire and forego the premium thereby capturing Rs. 50 upside after bearing the premium of Rs. 100. Writing a Call Option: Assume that the Scheme writes a call option at the strike price of Rs. 2,050 and earns a premium of Rs. 100. If the market price of the underlying stock on the date of expiry increases to Rs. 2,200 (i.e. more than Rs. 2,050) then the option is exercised. The Scheme earns the premium of Rs. 100 / - but loses the difference between the market price and the exercise price i.e. Rs. 150 / -. In case the market price of the underlying stock decreases to Rs. 2,000, the Scheme gets to keep the premium of Rs.100. Writing a Put Option: Assume that the Scheme writes a put option at the strike price of Rs. 2,050 and earns a premium of Rs. 50. If the market value of the underlying stock decreases to Rs. 2,000 the put option will be exercised and the Scheme will earn the premium of Rs.50 but losses the difference between the exercise price and the market price which is Rs. 50. However if the market price of the underlying stock is Rs. 2,100, the option-holder will not exercise the option. As a result of which the option will expire and the Scheme will earn the premium income of Rs. 50. A forward contract is a transaction in which the buyer and the seller agree upon the delivery of a specified quality (if commodity) and quantity of underlying asset at a predetermined rate on a specified future date. Please note that the above examples are based on assumptions and are used only for illustrative purposes.
Example of a swap transaction:

Assume that a Debt Scheme has a Rs. 50 crore floating rate investment linked to MIBOR (Mumbai Inter Bank Offered Rate). Thus, the Scheme has a potential interest rate risk and stands to incur a loss if the interest rate moves down. To hedge this interest rate risk, the Scheme can enter into a 6 month MIBOR swap on July 1, 2006 for 6 months that is upto January 1, 2007. Through this swap, the Scheme will receive a fixed determined rate (assume 6%) and pays the 'benchmark rate' (MIBOR), which is fixed by an intermediary who runs a book and matches deals between various counterparties, such intermediary could be the NSE or the Reuters. This swap would effectively lock in the interest rate of 6% for the next 6 months, eliminating the daily interest rate risk. On January 1, 2007 the Scheme is entitled to receive interest on Rs. 50 crore at 6% for 180 days i.e., Rs. 1.5 crores (this amount is known at the time the swap is concluded) and will pay the compounded benchmark rate. The counterparty is entitled to receive the daily compounded call rate for 180 days and pay 6% fixed rate. On January 1, 2007, if the total interest on the daily overnight compounded benchmark rate is higher than Rs. 1.5 crore, the Scheme will pay the difference to the counterparty. If the daily compounded benchmark rate is lower, then the counterparty will pay the Scheme the difference. Effectively, the Scheme earns interest at the rate of 6% p.a. for 6 months without lending money for 6 months fixed, whilst the counterparty pays interest @ 6% p.a. for 6 months on Rs. 50 crores without borrowing for 6 months fixed.
Forward Rate Agreement:

Forward rate agreement is a transaction in which the counterparties agree to pay or receive the difference between an agreed fixed rate and the interest rate prevailing on a stipulated future date, based on a notional amount, for an agreed period. As the interest rate is fixed now for a future period, the only payment is the difference between the agreed fixed rate and the reference rate in the future. As in the case of interest rate swaps, only notional amounts are exchanged. Assume that on June 30, 2006, the 90 day commercial paper (CP) rate is 6.75% and the Scheme has an investment in a CP of face value Rs. 25 crores which is going to mature on September 30, 2006. If the interest rates are likely to remain stable or decline after September 2006, and if the fund manager, who wants to re-deploy the maturity proceeds for 3 more months, does not want to take the risk of interest rates going down, he can then enter into a following forward rate agreement (FRA) say as on June 30, 2006 :

ii.
Applicable to FSTIF and FCF
The Schemes may invest in various derivatives instruments including interest rate swaps, currency swaps and forward contracts which are available for investment in Indian markets from time to time and which are permissible under the Regulations and by the RBI from time to time. Investment in such instruments will be made in accordance with the investment objective and the strategy of the Debt Schemes to protect the value of their

He can receive 3 X 6 FRA on June 30, 2006 at 6.75% (FRA rate for 3 months lending in 3 months time) on the notional amount of Rs. 25 crores, with a reference rate of 90 day CP benchmark. If the CP benchmark on the settlement date i.e. September 30, 2006 falls to 6.5%, then the Scheme receives the difference 6.75 - 6.5 i.e. 25 basis points on the notional amount of Rs. 25 crores for 3 months. The maturity proceeds are then reinvested at say 6.5% (close to the benchmark). The scheme, however, would have locked in the rate prevailing on June 30, 2006 (6.75%) as it would have received 25 basis points more as settlement amount from FRA. Thus the fund manager can use FRA to mitigate the reinvestment risk. In this example, if the rates move up by 25 basis points to 7% on the settlement date (September 30, 2006), the Scheme loses 25 basis points but since the reinvestment will then happen at 7%, effective returns for the Scheme is unchanged at 6.75%, which is the prevailing rate on June 30, 2006.

Under the Regulations, the Fund is allowed to borrow to meet the temporary liquidity needs of a Scheme for the purpose of repurchase, Redemption of Units or payment of interest or dividend to the Unit Holders. Further, as per Regulations, the Fund shall not borrow more than 20% of the net assets of a Scheme and the duration of such borrowing shall not exceed a period of 6 months. The Fund may enter into necessary arrangements with banks / financial institutions for borrowing purposes. The Scheme may bear the interest charged on such borrowings.
G. Investment in the Schemes by the AMC, Sponsor or their Affiliates

Subject to the Regulations the AMC, the Sponsor, the Trustee and their associates or affiliates, may invest either directly or indirectly in any Scheme mentioned in this Offer Document. However, AMC shall not charge any investment management and advisory services fee on its own investment in a Scheme.
Forward Contracts:
Forward contract is a transaction in which the buyer and the seller agree upon the delivery of a specified quality (if commodity) and quantity of underlying asset at a predetermined rate on a specified future date. Assume that on June 30, 2006, the scheme has invested 1 million dollars in a US treasury security. Fund manager expects that the yields in the US will come down in the next 6 months and plans to sell the asset on December 31, 2006 to book the gain. Rupee is trading at Rs. 44 to a US Dollar on June 30, 2006. If rupee appreciates compared to the Dollar in these 6 months to say Rs. 43.50 per Dollar, the Scheme will earn lower returns in Rupee terms when the fund manager sells the investments on December 31, 2006 and converts the proceeds into Rupees. He can mitigate this exchange rate risk by entering into a forward contract to sell 1 million dollars on June 30, 2006 for value December 31, 2006 (6 month forward) and receive the prevailing premium of say 40 paise per Dollar i.e. he has locked in a rate of Rs. 44.40 per US Dollar for delivery on December 31, 2006. With this the Scheme is not exposed to the loss of Rupee appreciation or profit from Rupee depreciation. Please note that the above examples are based on assumptions and are used only for illustrative purposes.
H. Procedure and Recording of Investment Decisions

All investment decisions, relating to the Schemes, are being undertaken by the AMC in accordance with the Regulations and the investment objectives specified in this Offer Document. All investment decisions taken by the AMC in relation to the corpus of the Schemes are being recorded. With regard to investments in any equity and debt instruments, individual scrip wise reasons are being recorded by the fund manager at the time of placing individual orders. In case of investments in equity instruments the reasons are being recorded on the dealing desk in Hong Kong. A detailed report is made before taking any decision to invest in a company for the first time. Performance of the Schemes is periodically tabled before the Boards of the AMC and the Trustee respectively. Performance of the Schemes vis--vis their respective benchmark indices are being monitored by the Boards of the Trustee and the AMC periodically. Further, the Boards of the Trustee and the AMC also review the performance of the Schemes in the light of performance of the mutual fund industry as published from time to time by independent research agencies and financial newspapers and journals. The AMC has appointed Investment Committees for the Equity and Debt / Fixed income schemes comprising of the fund manager of the respective Scheme, a research / credit analyst of the AMC, FIL Group Chief Investment Officers and the Compliance Officer. The Committee's role is to lay down the broad investment policy for the Schemes, review the policy and to review the portfolio and performance of the Schemes periodically. However the day to day investment management decision will solely be of the fund manager of the respective Scheme.
E. Fundamental Attributes
In terms of the Regulations and SEBI's circular dated February 4, 1998, "Fundamental Attributes" referred above shall mean: i) Type of Scheme, i.e. an open ended equity growth scheme or an open ended equity linked savings scheme or an open ended income scheme or an open ended liquid scheme; Investment Objectives, Investment Strategy, Investment Pattern;
ii)
iii) Terms of Issue relating to listing, Redemption, fees, expenses In accordance with Regulation 18(15A) of the Regulations, the Trustee shall ensure that no change in the fundamental attributes of the Scheme or the Fund or the fees and expenses payable or any other change which would modify the Scheme and affect the interest of the Unit Holders, will be carried out unless: (i) a written communication about the proposed change is sent to each Unit Holder and an advertisement is given in one English daily newspaper having nationwide circulation as well as in a Marathi daily newspaper with wide circulation published in Mumbai (as the head office of the Fund is situated there); and
I. Portfolio Turnover - Equity Schemes

The fund managers normally will buy stocks which they believe will deliver superior earnings growth over a one-to-two year period and hence the portfolio turnover is not expected to be very high. Portfolio turnover is defined as the aggregate value of investment and disinvestment in equity / equity related securities (other than those caused by the Purchases and Redemptions by Unit Holders) as a percentage of the average corpus of the Scheme during a specified period of time. This would also exclude investments / disinvestments in money market instruments.
J. Overview of Debt Markets

Indian fixed income market, one of the largest and most developed in South Asia, is now well integrated with the global financial markets. Increase in the limit of foreign institutional investors'
(ii) the Unit Holders are given an option to exit at the prevailing NAV without any Exit Load, if any.

investment in the domestic fixed income market to 3.5 billion dollars and a road map for the convertibility of Rupee will certainly result in attracting global investors to the Indian Market. Screen based order matching system developed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for trading in government securities, straight through settlement system for the same, settlements guaranteed by the Clearing Corporation of India and innovative instruments like CBLO have contributed in reducing the settlement risk and increasing the confidence level of the market participants. The RBI reviews the monetary policy four times a year giving the guidance to the market on direction of interest rate movement, liquidity and credit expansion. The central bank has been operating as an independent authority, formulating the policies to maintain price stability and adequate liquidity. Bonds are traded in dematerialised form and institutional investors' preference for listed instruments has resulted in most of the bonds getting listed. This has improved the disclosure standards by the issuers. Credit rating agencies have been playing an important role in the market and are an important source of information to manage the credit risk. Government (Central and State) is the largest issuer of debt in the market. Public sector enterprises, quasi government bodies and private sector companies are other issuers. Insurance companies, provident funds, banks, mutual funds, financial institutions, corporates and FIIs are major investors in the market. Government loans are available up to 30 years maturity. Variety of instruments available for investments including plain vanilla bonds, floating rate bonds, money market instruments, structured obligations and interest rate derivatives make it possible to manage the interest rate risk effectively. Daily average turnover in the market ranges from Rs. 500 crores to Rs. 10,000 crores. 80 to 90% of it is in gilts. The securities available are listed or unlisted, secured or unsecured, public issue or private placements. Indicative levels of the instruments currently trading are as follows: Instrument CBLO / Repo CP / CD / T Bills Securitised Debt PSU Bonds / Corporate Bonds Central / State Govt. Securities Maturity Short Short Short / Medium Medium Low to High Yield 6.25% to 7.25% 7.00% to 11.00% 10.00% to 12.00% 9.50% to 10.50% 7.50% to 8.00% Liquidity Very High High Low Medium High 7. 6. 2.
instruments. Provided further that investments in debt securities issued by public bodies / institutions such as electricity boards, municipal corporations, state transport corporations etc. guaranteed by the State or Central government would be included within the aforesaid limit. Provided further that investment within such limit can be made in mortgaged backed securitised debts which are rated not below investment grade by a credit rating agency registered with SEBI. No Scheme shall invest more than 10% of its net assets in unrated debt instruments (irrespective of residual maturity) issued by a single issuer and the total investment in such instruments shall not exceed 25% of the net assets of that scheme. The Fund under all its schemes shall not own more than 10% of any company's paid up capital carrying voting rights. For the purpose of determining the above limit, a combination of positions of the underlying securities and stock derivatives will be considered. 4. 5. No Scheme shall invest more than 5% of its net assets in the unlisted equity shares or equity related instruments. Transfers of investments from one scheme to another scheme in the Fund shall be made 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 stock exchange for spot transactions. (b) the securities so transferred shall be in conformity with the investment objective of the scheme to which such transfer has been made. A Scheme may invest in other schemes managed by the same AMC or by the asset management company of any other mutual fund without charging any fees, provided that aggregate inter-scheme investment made in all schemes under the same management or in schemes under the management of any such other asset management company shall not exceed 5% of the net asset value of the Fund. A Scheme shall buy and sell securities on the basis of deliveries and shall in all cases of purchases, take delivery of relative securities and in all cases of sale, deliver the securities and shall in no case put itself in a position whereby it has to make short sale or carry forward transaction or engage in badla finance. Provided that the Fund may enter into derivatives transactions for the purpose of hedging and portfolio balancing in accordance with the guidelines issued by SEBI in an attempt to protect the value of the portfolio. 8. The Fund shall, get the securities purchased or transferred in the name of the Fund on account of any scheme, wherever investments are intended to be of long term nature. Pending deployment of funds of any scheme in securities in terms of investment objectives of that scheme, the scheme can invest its funds in short term deposits of scheduled commercial banks.
3.
These are only indicative levels in February 2007 and are likely to change depending upon the prevailing market conditions.

L. Computation of Net Asset Value

The Net Asset Value of the Units of a Scheme will be computed by dividing the net assets of the Scheme by the number of Units outstanding under that Scheme on the valuation date. The Fund shall value its investments according to the valuation norms, as specified in Schedule VIII of the Regulations, or such norms as may be prescribed by SEBI from time to time. The broad valuation norms pertaining to the Equity and Debt Schemes are detailed below.
ii. Non-Traded Equity Securities When a security (other than debt and Government securities) is not traded on any stock exchange for a period of 30 days prior to the Valuation Day, the scrip is treated as non-traded scrip. Non-traded / thinly traded equity securities shall be valued "in good faith" by the asset management company on the basis of the valuation principles laid down below: Based on the latest available Balance Sheet, net worth shall be calculated as follows : a. Net Worth per share = [share capital+ reserves (excluding revaluation reserves) - Miscellaneous expenditure and Debit Balance in P&L A / c] Divided by No. of Paid up Shares. Average capitalisation rate (P / E ratio) for the industry based upon either BSE or NSE data (which should be followed consistently and changes, if any noted with proper justification thereof) shall be taken and discounted by 75% i.e. only 25% of the Industry average P / E shall be taken as capitalisation rate (P / E ratio). Earnings per share of the latest audited annual accounts will be considered for this purpose. The value as per the net worth value per share and the capital earning value calculated as above shall be averaged and further discounted by 10% for illiquidity so as to arrive at the fair value per share. In case the EPS is negative, EPS value for that year shall be taken as zero for arriving at capitalised earning. In case where the latest balance sheet of the company is not available within nine months from the close of the year, unless the accounting year is changed, the shares of such companies shall be valued at zero. In case an individual security accounts for more than 5% of the total assets of the Scheme, an independent valuer shall be appointed for the valuation of the said security. To determine if a security accounts for more than 5% of the total assets of the Scheme, it should be valued by the procedure above and the proportion which it belongs would be compared on the date of valuation.
Valuation Norms: 1.
i.
Traded Securities
Traded securities are valued at the last quoted closing price on the NSE. If a particular security is not listed on the NSE, it is valued at the last quoted closing price on the stock exchange where it is principally traded ("another stock exchange"). When on a particular Valuation Day, a security listed on the NSE has not been traded on the NSE, the value at which it has been traded on another stock exchange is used. When a equity security is not traded on any stock exchange on a particular valuation day, the value at which it was traded on the selected 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 30 days prior to the Valuation Day. 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.

Thinly Traded Securities / Non-Traded Securities / Unlisted Equity Securities
i. Thinly Traded Equity / Equity related securities When trading in an equity / equity related security (such as convertible debentures, equity warrants, etc.) in a month is less than Rs. 5 lakh and the total volume is less than 50,000 shares, it shall be considered as a thinly traded security and valued accordingly. Where a stock exchange identifies the "thinly traded" securities by applying the above parameters for the preceding calendar month and publishes / provides the required information along with the daily quotations, the same can be used by the Fund. If the share is not listed on the stock exchanges which provide such information, then it will be obligatory on the part of the Fund to make its own analysis in line with the above criteria to check whether such securities are thinly traded which would then be valued accordingly. In case trading in an equity security is suspended upto 30 days, then the last traded price would be considered for valuation of that security. If an equity security is suspended for more than 30 days, then the AMC / Trustees will decide the valuation norms to be followed and such norms would be documented and recorded.
iii. Unlisted Equity Shares Unlisted equity shares of a company shall be valued "in good faith" on the basis of the valuation principles laid down below: a) Based on the latest available audited balance sheet, net worth shall be calculated as lower of (i) and (ii) below: i. Net worth per share = [share capital plus free reserves (excluding revaluation reserves) minus Miscellaneous expenditure not written off or deferred revenue expenditure, intangible assets and accumulated losses] divided by Number of Paid up Shares. After taking into account the outstanding warrants and options, net worth per share shall again be calculated and shall be = [share capital plus consideration on exercise of Option / Warrants received / receivable by the Company plus free reserves(excluding revaluation reserves) minus Miscellaneous expenditure not written off or deferred revenue expenditure, intangible assets and accumulated losses] divided by [Number of Paid up Shares plus Number of Shares that would be obtained on conversion / exercise of Outstanding Warrants and Options].
ii.
31

The lower of (i) and (ii) above shall be used for calculation of net worth per share and for further calculation in (c) below. (b) Average capitalisation rate (P / E ratio) for the industry based upon either BSE or NSE data (which should be followed consistently and changes, if any, noted with proper justification thereof) shall be taken and discounted by 75% i.e. only 25% of the Industry average P / E shall be taken as capitalisation rate (P / E ratio). Earnings per share of the latest audited annual accounts will be considered for this purpose. (c) The value as per the net worth value per share and the capital earning value calculated as above shall be averaged and further discounted by 15% for illiquidity so as to arrive at the fair value per share. The above methodology for valuation shall be subject to the following conditions: i. ii. All calculations as aforesaid shall be based on audited accounts. In case where the latest balance sheet of the company is not available within nine months from the close of the year, unless the accounting year is changed, the shares of such companies shall be valued at zero. If the net worth of the company is negative, the share would be marked down to zero. In case the EPS is negative, EPS value for that year shall be taken as zero for arriving at capitalised earning. In case an individual security accounts for more than 5% of the total assets of the scheme, an independent valuer shall be appointed for the valuation of the said security. To determine if a security accounts for more than 5% of the total assets of the scheme, it should be valued in accordance with the procedure as mentioned above on the date of valuation. ii. Thinly Traded / Non-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. All Non Government investment grade debt securities, classified as not traded, shall be valued on yield to maturity basis as described below. 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. The approach in valuation of non-traded debt securities is based on the concept of using spreads over the benchmark rate to arrive at the yields for pricing the non-traded security. The yields for pricing the non-traded debt security would be arrived at using the process as defined below. Step A A Risk Free Benchmark Yield is built using Government Securities as the base. Government Securities are used as the benchmarks as they are traded regularly; free of credit risk; and traded across different maturity spectrums every week. Step B A Matrix of spreads (based on the credit risk) are built for marking up the benchmark yields. The matrix is built based on traded corporate paper on the wholesale debt segment of an appropriate stock exchange and the primary market issuances. The matrix is restricted only to investment grade corporate paper. Step C The yields as calculated above are marked up / marked down for ill-liquidity risk. Step D The yields so arrived are used to price the portfolio. As per the recommendation of AMFI, CRISIL Bond Valuation Matrix is used to arrive at yields for pricing the portfolio.
iii.
iv. v.
At the discretion of the AMC and with the approval of the trustees, an unlisted equity share may be valued at a price lower than the value derived using the aforesaid methodology.
3.
Thinly Traded / Non-Traded Debt Securities
4.
Valuation of securities with Put / Call Options:
The option embedded securities would be valued as follows: i. Securities with Call option: The securities with Call option shall be valued at the lower of the value as obtained by valuing the security to final maturity and valuing the security to Call option. In case there are multiple call options, the lowest value obtained by valuing to the various call dates and valuing to the maturity date is to be taken as the value of the instrument. ii. Securities with Put option The securities with Put option shall be valued at the higher of the value as obtained by valuing the security to final maturity and valuing the security to Put option. In case there are multiple put options, the highest value obtained by valuing to the various put dates and valuing to the maturity date is to be taken as the value of the instruments. iii. Securities with both Put and Call option on the same day The securities with both Put and Call option on the same day would be deemed to mature on the Put / Call day and would be valued accordingly.
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. Non-traded / Thinly Traded Debt Securities would be valued as per the norms set out below: i. Thinly Traded / Non-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. 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 below.
5.
Government securities
All Government bonds are to be valued at the prices provided by CRISIL.COM on a daily basis.
32
6.
While investments in call money, bills purchased under rediscounting plan and short term deposits with banks shall be valued at cost plus accrual, other money market instruments shall be valued at the yield at which they are currently traded. For this purpose, non-traded instruments, that is instruments not traded for a period of 7 days, will be valued at cost plus interest accrued till the beginning of the Valuation Day plus the difference between the redemption value and the cost spread uniformly over the remaining maturity period of the instruments. The non-convertible and convertible components of convertible debentures and bonds shall be valued separately. The non-convertible component would be valued on the same basis as would be applicable to a debt instrument. The convertible component should be valued on the same basis as would be applicable to an equity instrument. If, after conversion the resultant equity instrument would be traded pari passu with an existing instrument which is traded, the value of the latter instrument can be adopted after an appropriate discount for the non-tradability of the instrument during the period preceding the conversion. While valuing such instruments, the fact whether the conversion is optional should also be factored in. Where an instrument has been bought on a 'Repo' basis, the instrument would be valued at the resale price after deduction of applicable interest upto the date of resale. Where an instrument has been sold on a 'Repo' basis, adjustment would be made for the difference between the repurchase price (after deduction of applicable interest up to date of repurchase) and the value of the instrument. If the repurchase price exceeds the value of the instrument, the depreciation would be provided for, and if the repurchase price is lower than the value of the instrument, credit would be taken for the appreciation. In respect of warrants to subscribe attached to instruments, the warrants would be valued at the value of the share which would be obtained on exercise of the warrant as reduced by the amount which would be payable on exercise of the warrant. A discount similar to the discount to be determined in respect of convertible debentures shall be deducted to account for the period, which must elapse before the warrant can be exercised. calculated as: Vr = n m x (Pex - Pof) Where Vr n m Pex Pof = Value of rights = no. of rights offered = no. of original shares held = Ex-rights price = Rights Offer Price
all such investments which are recognised as illiquid securities. iii. Mutual Funds shall not be allowed to transfer illiquid securities among their schemes.
12. Valuation in respect of Non-Performing Assets (NPAs)

Valuation of Non-Performing assets (debt securities) will be done in accordance with "SEBI Guidelines for Identification and Provisioning for NPAs" issued vide circular dated September 18, 2000 (as modified), which will form part of valuation policy of a Scheme. An asset shall be classified as "Non-Performing" if the interest and / or principal amount have not been received or remained outstanding for three months from the day such income / instalment has fallen due. The Fund shall make scripwise disclosures of NPAs on a 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 a Scheme. In the list of investments, an asterisk mark shall be given against such investments which are recognised 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 instalments that will be shown as an investment until all instalments have become overdue.

13. Accounting and Valuation Policies with respect to Derivative Products:

i. Equity Option Derivatives Premium paid / received on bought / written option contracts shall be debited / credited to "equity option premium account" and recorded as an asset / liability. When the option contracts are squared off before expiry, the difference between the premium paid and received on the squared off transactions shall be recognised in the revenue account. When the option contracts are exercised on or before expiry, the difference between the option settlement price as determined by the exchange and the premium shall be recognised in the revenue account. If more than one option contracts in respect of the same stock / index with the same strike price and expiry date to which the squared off / exercised contract pertains is outstanding at the time of square off / exercise of the contract, the weighted average method shall be followed for determining the gain or loss. Premium asset / liability in respect of options not exercised / squared off as on expiry date shall be transferred to revenue account. As at the balance sheet date / date of determination, all open option positions shall be valued at the last quoted price at the exchange where it is traded. Non-traded equity option contracts shall be valued at fair value as per procedures determined by the AMC and approved by the Trustee. The unrealised appreciation / depreciation on all open positions shall be considered for determining net asset value. ii. Equity Futures Derivatives Futures contracts are marked to market daily at the futures settlement price as determined by the exchange and correspondingly, variation margin calculated as the difference between the trade price or the previous day's settlement price, as the case may be, and the current day's settlement price shall be recorded as a receivable or payable. When a contract is squared off / settled on expiry, the difference between the square-off price / the final settlement price and the contract price shall be recognized in the revenue account. If more than one futures contracts in respect of the same stock and expiry date, to which the squared off / settled contract pertains,
9.
10. Until they are traded, the value of "rights" shares shall be
Where the rights are not treated pari passu with the existing shares, suitable adjustments shall be made to the value of the rights. Where it is decided not to subscribe for the rights but to renounce them and renunciations are being traded, the rights can be valued at the renunciation value.
11. Illiquid Securities

i. Aggregate value of "illiquid securities" of the Scheme, which are defined as non-traded, thinly traded and unlisted equity shares, shall not exceed 15% of the total assets of the Scheme and any illiquid securities held above 15% of the total assets shall be assigned zero value.

is outstanding at the time of square off / settlement of the contract, the weighted average method shall be followed for determining the gain or loss. As at the balance sheet date / date of determination, all open futures positions shall be valued at the last quoted price at the exchange where it is traded. Non-traded equity futures contracts shall be valued at fair value as per procedures determined by the AMC and approved by the Trustee. The unrealised appreciation / depreciation on all open positions shall be considered for determining net asset value. iii. The traded derivatives shall be valued at market price in conformity with the stipulations of sub clauses (i) to (v) of clause 1 of the Eighth Schedule to the SEBI Regulations, as amended from time to time. iv. The valuation of untraded derivatives shall be done in accordance with the valuation method for untraded investments prescribed in sub clauses (i) and (ii) of clause 2 of the Eighth Schedule to the SEBI Regulations as amended from time to time. The NAVs of FEF, FTAF, FISSF and FSTIF are calculated on all Business Days whereas the NAVs of FCF are calculated on all calendar days. The valuation of a Scheme's assets and calculation of a Scheme's NAV are subject to audit on an annual basis and such regulations as may be prescribed by SEBI from time to time.
P. Accounting Policies and Standards

In accordance with the Regulations, the AMC will follow the accounting policies and standards detailed below. 1. The AMC shall keep and maintain proper books of accounts, records and documents, for all the Schemes so as to explain its transactions and to disclose at any point of time the financial position of any Scheme and, in particular, to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Fund. For the purposes of the financial statements, the Fund shall mark all investments to market and carry investments in the balance sheet at market value. However, since the unrealised gain arising out of appreciation on investments cannot be distributed, provision shall be made for exclusion of this item when arriving at distributable income. 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 shall 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 shall not be treated as an addition to sale value but shall be credited to interest recoverable account. In determining the holding cost of investments and the gains or loss on sale of investments, the "average cost" method shall be followed. Transactions for purchase or sale of investments shall be recognised as of the trade date and not as of the settlement date, so that the effect of all 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, acquisitions through private placement or purchases or sales through private treaty), the transaction shall be recorded, in the event of a purchase, as of the date on which any 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. Where income receivable on investments has accrued but has not been received for the period as specified in the SEBI guidelines for identification and provisioning for NPAs, provision shall be made by debiting to the revenue account the income so accrued in the manner specified in the SEBI guidelines for identification and provisioning for NPAs. Insofar as provision for the principal amount is concerned, the same shall be provided as specified in the aforesaid guidelines. When Units are sold, 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 reserves, the face value being credited to the capital account. Similarly, when Units are repurchased, 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. When Units are sold, an appropriate part of the sale proceeds shall be credited to an equalisation account, and when Units are repurchased an appropriate amount shall be debited to equalisation account. The net balance on this account shall be credited or debited to the revenue account.
2.
M. Accrual of Expenses and Income

All expenses and income accrued up to the Valuation Day shall be considered for calculation of NAV. For this purpose, while major expenses like management fees and other periodic expenses would be accrued on a day to day basis, the minor expenses and income may not be so accrued, provided the non accrual does not affect the NAV calculations by more than 1%. 3.
N. Recording of Changes
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 7 days following the date of the transaction, provided as a result of such non-recording, the NAV calculations shall not be affected by more than 1%. In case the Net Asset Value of a Scheme differs by more than 1%, due to non - recording of the transactions, the investors or Scheme / s as the case may be, shall be paid the difference in amount as follows:(i) If the investors are allotted units at a price higher than Net Asset Value or are given a price lower than Net Asset Value at the time of sale of their units, they shall be paid the difference in amount by the Scheme. 4.
5.
(ii) If the investors are charged lower Net Asset Value at the time of purchase of their units or are given higher Net Asset Value at the time of sale of their units, asset management company shall pay the difference in amount to the Scheme. The asset management company may recover the difference from the investors. The valuation guidelines outlined above are within the parameters of the Regulations and are subject to changes from time to time by the AMC and / or the Trustee. However, such changes must be in conformity with the Regulations.
6.
7.
O. Calculation of NAV
The NAV of Units under the Scheme shall be calculated by either of the following methods shown below: Market or fair value of the Scheme's investments + Current Assets - Current Liabilities and Provisions NAV (Rs.) = No. of Units outstanding under the Scheme NAV (Rs.) = Unit Capital + Reserves and Surplus No. of Units outstanding under the Scheme 8.
The NAV will be calculated upto three decimal places for the Equity Schemes and four decimal places for the Debt Schemes.
34
The balance on the equalisation account debited or credited to the revenue account shall not decrease or increase the net income of any scheme but shall only be an adjustment to the distributable surplus. It shall therefore be reflected in the revenue account only after the net income of a scheme is determined. 9. The cost of investments acquired or purchased shall include securities transaction tax, brokerage, stamp charges and any charge customarily included in the broker's bought note. In respect of privately placed debt instruments, any front-end discount offered shall be reduced from the cost of the investment.
declared. For investments, which are not quoted on the stock exchange, dividend income shall be recognised on the date of declaration. 11. Bonus shares to which the scheme becomes entitled shall be recognised only when the original shares to which the bonus entitlement accrues are traded on the stock exchange on an ex-bonus basis. Similarly, rights entitlements shall be recognised only when the original shares on which the rights entitlement accrues are traded on the stock exchange on an ex-rights basis. The accounting policies and standards outlined above are consistent with the current Regulations and are subject to changes made from time to time by the AMC and / or Trustee. However, such changes must be in conformity with the Regulations.
10. Dividend income earned by the scheme shall be recognised on the date on which the investment is quoted on an exdividend basis, not on the date on which the dividend is

The Purchase Price of the Units is the price at which an investor can Purchase Units of a Scheme.

For example, if the Applicable NAV of the Scheme is Rs.10, and it has a 2.00% Entry Load, the Purchase Price will be calculated as follows: Purchase Price = 10 x (1 + 2.00%) i.e. 10 x 1.0200 =10.200 If any Scheme has no Entry Load, the Purchase Price will be equal to the Applicable NAV.

Anti Money Laundering and Know Your Customer (KYC): Fidelity is committed to complying with all applicable anti money laundering and KYC laws and regulations in all of its operations. Fidelity recognises the value and importance of creating a business environment that strongly discourages money launderers from using Fidelity. To that end, certain policies have been adopted by the AMC. The need to "Know Your Customer" (KYC) is vital for the prevention of money laundering. In terms of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 ("PMLA") the rules issued there under and the guidelines / circulars issued by SEBI regarding the Anti Money Laundering (AML) Laws, all intermediaries, including Mutual Funds, are required to formulate and implement a client identification programme, and to verify and maintain the record of identity and address(es) of investors. The Mutual Fund Industry has collectively entrusted the responsibility of collection of documents relating to identity and address and record keeping to an independent agency (presently CDSL Ventures Limited) that will act as central record keeping agency ('Central Agency'). As a token of having verified the identity and address and for efficient retrieval of records, the Central Agency will issue an acknowledgement to each investor who submits an application and the prescribed documents to the Central Agency. Investors who have obtained an acknowledgement can invest in the schemes of the mutual fund by referring to / submitting the acknowledgement in lieu of submitting information and documents required under AML Laws. Investors who wish to obtain an acknowledgement have to submit a completed Application Form (the Form') along with all the prescribed documents listed in the Form, at any of the Point of Service ('POS'). The Form is available at our website (www.fidelity.co.in) and AMFI website (www.amfiindia.com). POS are the designated centres appointed by the Central Agency for receiving the Forms, processing data and providing the acknowledgement. List of and location of POS are available at our website (www.fidelity.co.in) and www.amfiindia.com. On submission of the application, documents and information to the satisfaction of the POS, the investor will be given an acknowledgement across the counter. Subsequently, the Central Agency will scrutinize the information and documents submitted by the investor. In case of any deficiency in the document / information, the form will be rejected. Presently, it is mandatory for all applications for Subscription of value of Rs.50,000 and above to quote the PAN of all the applicants (guardian in case of minor) in the application for Subscription. The PAN will be validated with the records of the Central Agency before allotting units. Applications for subscriptions of value of Rs.50,000 and above without a valid PAN will be rejected. In the event of any Form being subsequently rejected for lack of information / deficiency / insufficiency of mandatory documentation, the investment transaction will be cancelled and the amount may be redeemed at Applicable NAV, subject to payment of Exit Load, wherever applicable. Such redemption proceeds will be dispatched within a maximum period of 21 days from date of acceptance of the application.

Suspicious Transaction Reporting: If after due diligence, the AMC believes that the transaction is suspicious in nature as regards money laundering, the AMC shall report any suspicious transactions to competent authorities under the PMLA and rules / guidelines issued thereunder by SEBI and RBI, furnish any such information in connection therewith to such authorities and take any other actions as may be required for the purposes of fulfilling its obligations under the PMLA without obtaining the prior approval of the investor / Unit Holder / a person making the payment on behalf of the investor.
u
redemptions by investors can reduce the returns to long term investors by increasing expenses of the Scheme and can also disrupt portfolio management strategies. Therefore, the Scheme is proposed to be managed with these risks in mind. Though the Scheme has no limit on the number of purchases and redemptions by any investor, the AMC reserves the right, under powers delegated by the Trustee, to reject any application, prevent further transactions by a Unit Holder, or redeem the Units held by the Unit Holder at any time prior to the expiry of 30 Business Days from the date of submission of the application if, in the AMC's opinion, a Unit Holder has been indulging in excessively frequent trading or if his trading has been or may be disruptive for the Scheme.
D. Investor's Personal Information

The AMC may share investors' personal information with the following third parties:
u
Registrar, Banks and / or authorised external third parties who are involved in transaction processing, despatches, etc. of investors' investment in any Scheme; Distributors through whom applications of investors are received for the Schemes; or Any other organisations for compliance with any legal or regulatory requirements or to verify the identity of investors for complying with anti-money laundering requirements.
Investor Protection (a) FEF, FISSF: FEF and FISSF are designed to support longer-term investment and active trading is discouraged. Short term or excessive trading into and out of FEF or FISSF may affect its performance by disrupting portfolio management strategies and by increasing expenses. The Fund and the distributors may refuse to accept applications for Purchase, especially where transactions are deemed disruptive, particularly from market timers or investors who, in their opinion, have a pattern of short term or excessive trading or whose trading has been or may be disruptive for FEF or FISSF. If in the opinion of the AMC, a Unit Holder is indulging in short term or excessive trading as above, it shall, under powers delegated by the Trustee, have absolute discretion to reject any application, prevent further transaction by the Unit Holder or redeem the Units held by the Unit Holder at any time prior to the expiry of 30 Business Days from the date of the application. (b) FSTIF: As the Scheme is a short term income scheme, it is designed to offer investors liquidity and the Fund anticipates that investors will come in and out of the Scheme frequently. Such frequent purchases and redemptions by investors can reduce the returns to long term investors by increasing expenses of the Scheme and can also disrupt portfolio management strategies. Therefore, the Scheme is proposed to be managed with these risks in mind. Though the Scheme has no limit on the number of purchases and redemptions by any investor, the AMC reserves the right, under powers delegated by the Trustee, to reject any application, prevent further transactions by a Unit Holder, or redeem the Units held by the Unit Holder at any time prior to the expiry of 30 Business Days from the date of submission of the application if, in the AMC's opinion, a Unit Holder has been indulging in excessively frequent trading or if his trading has been or may be disruptive for the Scheme. (c) FCF: As the Scheme is a cash / liquid scheme, it is designed to offer investors liquidity and the Fund anticipates that investors will come in and out of the Scheme frequently. Such frequent purchases and
Account statements or financial information pertaining to the investor, if it is to be sent over the internet to the Unit Holder, distributors or any other entity as indicated above, will be sent only through a secure means and / or through encrypted electronic mail.

10. Fractional Units

Since a request for Purchase or Redemption is generally made in rupee amounts and not in terms of a fixed number of Units of a Scheme, an investor may be left with fractional Units. Fractional Units will be computed and accounted for up to three decimal places in case of Equity Schemes and four decimal places in case of Debt Schemes. However, fractional Units will in no way affect the investor's ability to redeem the Units, either in part or in full, standing to the Unit Holder's credit.

However, in the event of the death of a Unit Holder, the nominee will be able to redeem the Units held by the deceased Unit Holder subject to the expiry of one year from the date of allotment of such Units. The Unit Holder has the option to request for Redemption either in amount in rupees or in number of Units. In case the request for Redemption specifies both, i.e. amount in rupees as well the number of Units to be redeemed, then the latter will be considered as the redemption request and the request will be processed accordingly.
by Rs. 25 (i.e. Rs. 9,800 x 0.25%, rounded of to the nearest rupee), making the net redemption amount Rs. 9,775. If a Redemption of Rs. 10,000 is sought by the Unit Holder at a Redemption Price of Rs. 9.80 (as calculated above), the effective redemption amount will be grossed up to Rs. 10,025 (i.e. 10,000 (1-0.25%)) and 1022.959 units (10,025 9.80) will be redeemed. This is to ensure that the Unit Holder receives the net amount of Rs. 10,000 as desired. Investors may note that the Trustee has a right to modify the existing Load structure in any manner or introduce an Entry Load or Exit Load or CDSC or a combination of Entry Load and / or Exit Load and / or CDSC and / or any other Load subject to a maximum as prescribed under the Regulations and with prospective effect only.

The Mutual Fund will endeavour to despatch the Redemption proceeds within 3 Business Days from the acceptance of the Redemption request, but not beyond 10 Business Days from the date of Redemption. If the payment is not made within the period stipulated in the Regulations, the Unit Holder shall be paid interest @15% p.a. for the delayed period and the interest shall be borne by the AMC. The bank name and bank account number, as specified in the Registrar's records, will be mentioned in the cheque. The cheque will be payable at par at all the cities having ISCs. If the Unit Holder resides in any other city, he will be paid by a demand draft payable at the city of his residence and the demand draft charges shall be borne by the AMC. The proceeds may be paid by way of direct credit / EFT / SEFT / RTGS / Wired Transfer / any other manner through which the investor's bank account specified in the Registrar's records is credited with the Redemption proceeds.

If multiple Purchases are made on the same day, the Purchase appearing earliest in the account statement will be redeemed first.
Units and the Offer
2.
Redemption Price
The Redemption Price of the Units is the price at which a Unit Holder can redeem Units of a scheme. It will be calculated as described below: Redemption Price = Applicable NAV x (1 - Exit Load* or CDSC*) * Either Exit Load or CDSC, whichever is applicable, will be charged. Redemption Price will be calculated for up to three decimal places for the Equity Schemes and four decimal places for the Debt Schemes. For example, if the Applicable NAV of a Scheme is Rs.10, and it has a 2% Exit Load, the Redemption Price will be calculated as follows: Redemption Price = 10 x (1 - 2.00%) i.e. 10 x 0.98 = 9.80 If the Scheme has no Exit Load and no CDSC, the Redemption Price will be equal to the Applicable NAV. The Securities Transaction Tax levied only in case of Equity Schemes under the Income Tax Act, 1961 at the rate of 0.25% (or such other applicable rate) on the amount of redemption will be reduced from the amount of redemption. To illustrate: If a Redemption of 1,000 units is sought by the Unit Holder at a Redemption Price of Rs. 9.80 (as calculated above), the redemption amount is Rs. 9,800. This will be further reduced
Non-Resident Investors
For NRIs, Redemption proceeds will be remitted depending upon the source of investment as follows: (i) Repatriation Basis When Units have been purchased through remittance in foreign exchange from abroad or by cheque / draft issued from proceeds of the Unit Holder's FCNR deposit or from funds held in the Unit Holder's Non Resident (External) account kept in India, the proceeds can be remitted to the Unit Holder in foreign currency (any exchange rate fluctuation will be borne by the Unit Holder). The proceeds can also be sent to his Indian address for crediting to his NRE / FCNR / non-resident (Ordinary) account, if desired by the Unit Holder.
47

(ii) Non Repatriation Basis When Units have been purchased from funds held in the Unit Holder's non-resident (Ordinary) account, the proceeds will be sent to the Unit Holder's Indian address for crediting to the Unit Holder's non-resident (Ordinary) account. For FIIs, the designated branch of the authorised dealer may allow remittance of net sale / maturity proceeds (after payment of taxes) or credit the amount to the Foreign Currency account or Non-resident Rupee account of the FII maintained in accordance with the approval granted to it by the RBI. The Fund will not be liable for any delays or for any loss on account of any exchange fluctuations, while converting the rupee amount in foreign exchange in the case of transactions with NRIs / FIIs. The Fund may make other arrangements for effecting payment of Redemption proceeds in future. e) a) When one or more stock exchanges or markets which provide the basis of valuation for a substantial portion of the assets of the Scheme is closed otherwise than for ordinary holidays.

The investment management fee charged by the AMC for managing such unclaimed amounts shall not exceed 50 basis points.

Thus, after a period of three years, this amount can be transferred to a pool account and the investors can claim the said amounts at the NAV prevailing at the end of the third year. In terms of the circular, the onus is on the AMC to make a continuous effort to remind investors through letters to take their unclaimed amounts.

H. Right to Limit Redemptions

The Trustee may, in the general interest of the Unit Holders of the Scheme and when considered appropriate to do so based on unforeseen circumstances / unusual market conditions, limit the total number of Units which may be redeemed on any Business Day to 5% of the total number of Units then in issue, under the Scheme and option(s) thereof, or such other percentage as the Trustee may determine. Any Units which consequently are not redeemed on a particular Business Day, will be carried forward for Redemption to the next Business Day, in order of receipt. Redemptions so carried forward will be priced on the basis of the Applicable NAV (subject to the prevailing Load) of the Business Day on which Redemption is made. Under such circumstances, to the extent multiple Redemption requests are received at the same time on a single Business Day, redemptions will be made on a pro-rata basis, based on the size of each Redemption request, the balance amount being carried forward for Redemption to the next Business Day. In addition, the Trustee reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to limit redemptions with respect to any single account to an amount of Rs. 1 Lakh in a single day.

IX. CONSOLIDATED TAX BENEFITS OF INVESTING IN THE SCHEMES OF THE FUND

The information furnished below outlines briefly the tax implications with respect to the unit holders of the Scheme and with respect to the Fund and is based on relevant provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and Wealth Tax Act, 1957 (collectively called 'the relevant provisions') as at March 09, 2007. For this purpose, the provisions of the Finance Act, 2006 as assented by the President of India have been considered. The proposals of the Finance Bill, 2007 are considered as the same has been presented in the Parliament, however, they will be law only after it is given assent by the President of India. The implications stated herein have been reviewed and certified by the Auditors of the Scheme and are found in agreement with the relevant provisions vide their letter dated March 09, 2007.However, the Fund does not make any representations on the procedures for ascertaining the tax benefits nor do they make any representation regarding any legal interpretations. Since the information below is based on the relevant provisions as on March 09, 2007, any subsequent changes in the said provisions could affect the tax benefits. Except for the above procedure, the auditor has not performed any other services in connection with any other data or information included in this Offer document. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS PROVIDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY AND APPLIES TO THE SCHEME. IN VIEW OF THE INDIVIDUAL NATURE OF TAX BENEFITS, EACH INVESTOR IS ADVISED TO CONSULT HIS OR HER OWN TAX CONSULTANT WITH RESPECT TO THE SPECIFIC TAX IMPLICATIONS ARISING OUT OF HIS OR HER PARTICIPATION IN THE SCHEMES.
An education cess of 2% on total income tax payable (including surcharge) is payable by all categories of taxpayers. The Union Budget 2007 presented by Finance Minister on February 28, 2007 proposes to levy surcharge on foreign companies, firms and domestic companies only if their total income exceeds Rs. 10,000,000. Additionally, the Union Budget 2007 proposes to levy an additional surcharge, called 'Secondary and Higher Education Cess' at the rate of 1%, thus, increasing the aggregate rate of education cess to 3%, payable on total income tax payable (including surcharge). Moreover, in case of an equity-oriented fund, long term capital gains arising from the sale of a units of such equity oriented fund are exempt from tax under section 10(38) of the Act, where such sale attracts Securities Transaction Tax ('STT'). However, at the time of sale of units (redemption) the unit holder will have to pay a STT of 0.25% on value of sale of the unit to the Mutual Fund, which will be collected by the Mutual Fund and deposited into Government Treasury. For this purpose, 'an equity oriented fund' is a fund where the investible funds are invested in equity shares of domestic companies to the extent of more than 65% of the total proceeds of such fund. As per Finance Act, 2006, even income by way of long term capital gains exempt under section 10(38) of the Act, would be taken into account while computing the Book Profits of a company for the purpose of Minimum Alternate Tax payable under section 115JB of the Act.
2.2. Short-term capital gains

Short term capital gains arising to a unit holder will be taxed at the normal rate applicable to that unit holder as per the provisions of the Act. In case of an individual or HUF, being a resident, where the total income as reduced by the short term capital gains is below the maximum amount not chargeable to tax (i.e Rs. 100,000 in case of all individuals, to Rs. 135,000 in case of women and to Rs.185, 000 in case of senior citizens), the short term capital gains shall be reduced by the amount by which the total income as so reduced falls short of the maximum amount which is not chargeable to income tax and the tax on the balance of such short term capital gains shall be computed at the applicable slab rates. A reference may also be made to the provisions of section 112 of the Act, which provides for a similar treatment in case of longterm capital gains. In case of domestic companies the short-term capital gains are taxable @30%, in case of foreign companies @40% and in case of FII as per section 115AD of the Act @30%. In case of an equity-oriented fund, as per section 111A of the Act, short term capital gains arising from the sale (redemption) of a unit of an equity oriented fund, where such sale (redemption) attracts STT, is taxable at the rate of 10%. However, at the time of sale of units (redemption) the unit holder will have to pay a STT of 0.25% on the value of the sale of the unit to the Mutual Fund, which will be collected by the Mutual Fund and deposited into Government Treasury. In addition to the aforesaid tax, surcharge and education cess is also payable as mentioned in para 2.1 above.
