Introduction to Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)
An Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) is primarily a mutual fund scheme which is listed and traded
on a stock exchange. An ETF can invest in:
Equities – replicating the composition and performance of an equity index (e.g. CNX Nifty, CNX
Junior Nifty)
Commodities – tracking the actual price of a commodity (e.g. Gold)
Money market instruments – which include short-term government securities and call money

Disclaimers (cont’d)
The indices referenced herein have been selected because they are well known, easily recognized by investors, and reflect those indices that the Investment Manager believes, in part based
on industry practice, provide a suitable benchmark against which to evaluate the investment or broader market described herein. The exclusion of “failed” or closed hedge funds may mean
that each index overstates the performance of hedge funds generally.
References to indices, benchmarks or other measures of relative market performance over a specified period of time are provided for your information only and do not imply that the portfolio
will achieve similar results. The index composition may not reflect the manner in which a portfolio is constructed. While an adviser seeks to design a portfolio which reflects appropriate risk
and return features, portfolio characteristics may deviate from those of the benchmark.
Past performance does not guarantee future results, which may vary. The value of investments and the income derived from investments will fluctuate and can go down as well as up. A loss
of principal may occur.
This material is provided for educational purposes only and should not be construed as investment advice or an offer or solicitation to buy or sell securities.
This material has been prepared by GSAM and is not a product of Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research. The views and opinions expressed may differ from those of Goldman Sachs
Global Investment Research or other departments or divisions of Goldman Sachs and its affiliates. Investors are urged to consult with their financial advisors before buying or selling any
securities. This information may not be current and GSAM has no obligation to provide any updates or changes.
Tracking Error (TE) is one possible measurement of the dispersion of a portfolio’s returns from its stated benchmark. More specifically, it is the standard deviation of such excess returns. TE
figures are representations of statistical expectations falling within “normal” distributions of return patterns. Normal stat istical distributions of returns suggests that approximately two thirds of
the time the annual gross returns of the accounts will lie in a range equal to the benchmark return plus or minus the TE if the market behaves in a manner suggested by historical returns.
Targeted TE therefore applies statistical probabilities (and the language of uncertainty) and so cannot be predictive of actual results. In addition, past tracking error is not indicative of future
TE and there can be no assurance that the TE actually reflected in your accounts will be at levels either specified in the investment objectives or suggested by our forecasts.
