Investment Pattern
The net assets of the Plan will be invested predominantly in stocks constituting the S&P CNX Nifty and / or in exchange traded derivatives on the S&P CNX Nifty. This would be done by investing in almost all the stocks comprising the S&P CNX Nifty in approximately the same weightage that they represent in the S&P CNX Nifty Index and / or investing in derivatives including futures contracts and options contracts on the S&P CNX Nifty Index. A small portion of the net assets will be invested in money market instruments permitted by SEBI / RBI including call money market or in alternative investment for the call money market as may be provided by the RBI, to meet the liquidity requirements of the Plan.

Instruments Normal Allocation Risk Profile of
the Instrument
Securities covered by the Nifty 95 to 100 Medium to High
Cash & Money Market Instruments, including money at call but excluding Subscription and Redemption Cash Flow 0 to 5 Low to Medium
Subscription Cash Flow is the subscription money in transit before deployment and Redemption Cash Flow is the money kept aside for meeting redemptions.

Investment Strategy
The SENSEX Plan and the Nifty Plan will be managed passively with investments in stocks in a proportion that is as close as possible to the weightages of these stocks in the respective indices. The investment strategy would revolve around reducing the tracking error to the least possible through regular rebalancing of the portfolio, taking into account the change in weights of stocks in the indices as well as the incremental collections / redemptions from these Plans.

The SENSEX Plus Plan will be passively managed to the extent of 80-90% of the net assets of the Plan and would follow similar investment strategy as for the SENSEX and the Nifty Plan, for this component. The actively managed portion of 10-20% of net assets of the Plan would be invested in stocks that have been identified as having high probability to outperform the SENSEX. The Investment Manager would follow the process of in-depth research to identify such candidates from stocks other than those comprising the SENSEX, for potential investment.

Pursuant to the SEBI Regulations, the respective Plans shall not make any investment in:
  • any unlisted security of an associate or group company of the Sponsor; or
  • any security issued by way of private placement by an associate or group company of the Sponsor; or
  • the listed securities of group companies of the Sponsor which is in excess of 25% of the net assets.

Risk Control

For the SENSEX Plan, the Nifty Plan and the proportion of the SENSEX Plus Plan that would be managed similar to the SENSEX Plan, risks would be the impact cost on securities, the delayed communication of weightage changes by the index service providers and the delayed calculation of net change in assets of each of the Plans, amongst others.

It is proposed to manage the risks by placing limit orders for basket trades and other trades, proactive follow-up with the service providers for daily change in weights in the respective indices as well as monitor daily inflows and outflows to and from the Fund closely.

While these measures are expected to mitigate the above risks to a large extent, there can be no assurance that these risks would be completely eliminated.

Risk control for the actively managed portion of the SENSEX Plus Plan would entail setting limits for single stock and single industry exposures by the Investment committee for this portion, subject to SEBI Regulations.
