HIGHLIGHTS/SUMMARY OF THE SCHEME

1. InvESTMEnT ObjECTIvE

The investment objective is to seek to provide returns that closely correspond to returns provided by price of gold through investment in physical Gold (and Gold related securities as permitted by Regulators from time to time).

As per the Regulations, the redemption price shall not be lower than 93% of NAV and the purchase price shall not be higher than 107% of the NAV and the difference between the redemption price and purchase price shall not exceed 7% of the purchase price.

In case, there are no quotes on the NSE for five trading days consecutively, an investor can sell directly to the fund with an exit load of 5% of NAV. The payout of such redemptions will be on the respective pay-out day.

6. MInIMUM AppLICATIOn AMOUnT

10. The advantages of RGETF over direct investment in gold :

1. Investors who want a cost effective and convenient way to invest in gold can get instantaneous exposure to a physical asset viz gold.

2. RGETF units can be traded like a share and therefore it provides the ability to buy and sell them quickly at the ruling market price unlike gold that can be sold only for a discount and by a cumbersome process.

3. The expenses incurred in buying and selling units and the schemes ongoing expenses will be less than the costs associated with buying and selling of gold and storing and insuring gold bullion in a traditional gold bullion market.

I - InTROdUCTIOnA. RISk FACTORS

1. STAndARd RISk FACTORS

a) Mutual Funds and securities investments are subject to market risks such as trading volumes, settlement risk, liquidity risk and default risk including the possible loss of principal and there is no assurance or guarantee that the objectives of the Scheme will be achieved.

b) As the price / value / interest rates of the securities in which the scheme invests fluctuates, the value of your investment in the scheme may go up or down

c) Past performance of the Sponsor/AMC/Mutual Fund does not guarantee future performance of the scheme.

d) Reliance Gold Exchange Traded Fund is only the name of the Scheme and does not in any manner indicate either the quality of the scheme or its future prospects and returns.

e) The Sponsor is not responsible or liable for any loss resulting from the operation of the Scheme beyond their initial contribution of Rs.1 lakh made by it towards the setting up of the Mutual Fund and such other accretions and additions to the corpus.

f) The present scheme is not a guaranteed or assured return scheme. The Mutual Fund is not guaranteeing or assuring any dividend/ bonus. The Mutual Fund is also not assuring that it will make periodical dividend/bonus distributions, though it has every intention of doing so. All dividend/bonus distributions are subject to the availability of distributable surplus of the Scheme.

2. SCHEME SpECIFIC RISk FACTORS

• Risks associated with investing in bonds

Investment in Debt is subject to price, credit, and interest rate risk.

The NAV of the Scheme may be affected, inter alia, by changes in the market conditions, interest rates, trading volumes, settlement periods and transfer procedures.

Investing in Bonds and Fixed Income securities are subject to the risk of an Issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payments obligation (credit risk) and may also be subject to price volatility due to such factors as interest rate sensitivity, market perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity (market risk).

The timing of transactions in debt obligations, which will often depend on the timing of the Purchases and Redemptions in the Scheme, may result in capital appreciation or depreciation because the value of debt obligations generally varies inversely with the prevailing interest rates.

Interest Rate Risk

As with all debt securities, changes in interest rates will affect the Scheme’s Net Asset Value as the prices of securities generally increase as interest rates decline and generally decrease as interest rates rise. Prices of longer-term securities generally fluctuate more in response to interest rate changes than do shorter-term securities. Interest rate movements in the Indian debt markets can be volatile leading to the possibility of large price movements up or down in debt and money market securities and thereby to possibly large movements in the NAV.

Liquidity or Marketability Risk

This refers to the ease at which a security can be sold at or near its true value. The primary measure of liquidity risk is the spread between the bid price and the offer price quoted by a dealer. Liquidity risk is characteristic of the Indian fixed income market.

Credit Risk

Credit risk or default risk refers to the risk which may arise due to default on the part of the issuer of the fixed income security (i.e. will be unable to make timely principal and interest payments on the security). Because of this risk debentures are sold at a yield spread above those offered on Treasury securities, which are sovereign obligations and generally considered to be free of credit risk. Normally, the value of a fixed income security will fluctuate depending upon the actual changes in the perceived level of credit risk as well as the actual event of default.

Reinvestment Risk

This risk refers to the interest rate levels at which cash flows received from the securities in the Scheme or from maturities in the Scheme are reinvested. The additional income from reinvestment is the “interest on interest” component. The risk refers to the fall in the rate for reinvestment of interim cashflows.

Risks associated with various types of securities

CREDIT RISK LIQUIDITY RISK PRICE RISKListed Depends on credit quality Relatively Low Depends on duration of instrumentUnlisted Depends on credit quality Relatively High Depends on duration of instrumentSecured Relatively low Relatively Low Depends on duration of instrument

Unsecured Relatively high Relatively High Depends on duration of instrument

Page 6: Reliance gold exchange traded fund

4

Rated Relatively low and depends on the rating Relatively Low Depends on duration of instrument

Unrated Relatively high Relatively High Depends on duration of instrument

Different types of securities in which the scheme would invest as given in the Scheme Information Document carry different levels and types of risk. Accordingly, the scheme’s risk may increase or decrease depending upon its investment pattern e.g. corporate bonds, carry a higher level of risk than Government securities. Further even among corporate bonds, bonds which are AAA rated are comparatively less risky than bonds which are AA rated.

• Risk associated with investing in derivatives

valuation Risk

The risk in valuing the Debt & Equity derivative products due to inadequate trading data with good volumes. Derivatives with longer duration would have higher risk viz a viz the shorter duration derivatives.

Mark to Market Risk

The day-to-day potential for an investor to experience losses from fluctuations in underlying stock prices and derivatives prices.

Systematic Risk

The risk inherent in the capital market is due to macro economic factors like Inflation, GDP, Global events.

Liquidity Risk

The risk stemming from the lack of availability of derivatives products across different maturities and with different risk appetite.

Implied volatitly

The estimated volatility of an underlying security’s price and derivatives price.

Interest Rate Risk

The risk stemming from the movement of Interest rates in adverse direction. As with all the debt securities, changes in the interest rates will affect the valuation of the portfolios.

Counterparty Risk (default Risk)

Default risk is the risk that losses will be incurred due to the default by the counterparty for over the counter derivatives.

System Risk

The risk arising due to failure of operational processes followed by the exchanges and OTC participants for the derivatives trading.

• Risk attached with the use of derivatives

As and when the Scheme trades in the derivatives market there are risk factors and issues concerning the use of derivatives that investors should understand. 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. Derivatives require the maintenance of adequate controls to monitor the transactions entered into, the ability to assess the risk that a derivative adds to the portfolio and the ability to forecast price or interest rate movements correctly. There is a possibility that a loss may be sustained by the portfolio as a result of the failure of another party (usually referred to as the “counterparty”) 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.

Derivative products are leveraged instruments and can provide disproportionate gains as well as disproportionate losses to the investor. Execution of such strategies depends upon the ability of he fund manager to identify such opportunities. Identification and execution of the strategies to be pursued by the fund manager involve uncertainty and decision of fund manager may not always be profitable. No assurance can be given that the fund manager will be able to identify or execute such strategies.

The risks associated with the use of derivatives are different from or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments.

• Risk Associated with Securitised debt

The Scheme may invest in Securitised debt including Pass through Certificates (PTCs). As with any other debt instrument, the following risk factors have to be taken into consideration while investing in PTCs:

Credit Risk

Since most of the PTCs are drawn from a cherry picked pool of underlying assets, the risk of delay / default due to poor credit quality is low. Further more most of the PTCs enjoy additional cashflow coverage in terms of subordination by another lower class of PTCs or in terms of excess cash collateralisation.

Liquidity Risk

Since the maturity of the PTCs will be in line with the maturity of the FMP, the risk arising from low secondary market liquidity of such instruments is low.

price Risk / Interest Rate Risk

The price risk of these instruments shall be in line with the maturity / duration of such instruments. However given the fact that these instruments will have a maturity profile upto 2 years, the duration risk is relatively less.

Page 7: Reliance gold exchange traded fund

5

domestic Securitised debt

Domestic Securitised debt can have different underlying assets and these assets have different risk characteristics. These may be as given in the following example:

Security 1 -Backed by receivables of personal loans originated by XYZ Bank, Specific Risk Factors: Loss due to default and/or payment delay on Receivables, Premature Termination of Facility Agreements, Limited loss cover, Delinquency and Credit Risk, Limited Liquidity and Price Risk, Originator/Collection Agent Risk, Bankruptcy of the Originator, Co-mingling of funds.

Security2 - Senior Series Pass Through Certificates backed by commercial vehicles and two-wheeler loan and loan receivables from ABC Bank Limited

b. REqUIREMEnT OF MInIMUM InvESTORS In THE SCHEME

The Scheme/Plan shall have a minimum of 20 investors and no single investor shall account for more than 25% of the corpus of the Scheme/Plan(s). However, if such limit is breached during the NFO of the Scheme, the Fund will endeavor to ensure that within a period of three months or the end of the succeeding calendar quarter from the close of the NFO of the Scheme, whichever is earlier, the Scheme complies with these two conditions. In case the Scheme / Plan(s) does not have a minimum of 20 investors in the stipulated period, the provisions of Regulation 39(2)(c) of the SEBI (MF) Regulations would become applicable automatically without any reference from SEBI and accordingly the Scheme / Plan(s) shall be wound up and the units would be redeemed at applicable NAV.

The two conditions mentioned above shall also be complied within each subsequently calendar quarter thereafter, on an average basis, as specified by SEBI. If there is a breach of the 25% limit by any investor over the quarter, a rebalancing period of one month would be allowed and thereafter the investor who is in breach of the rule shall be given 15 days notice to redeem his exposure over the 25 % limit. Failure on the part of the said investor to redeem his exposure over the 25 % limit within the aforesaid 15 days would lead to automatic redemption by the Mutual Fund on the applicable Net Asset Value on the 15th day of the notice period. The Fund shall adhere to the requirements prescribed by SEBI from time to time in this regard.

As per Circular number SEBI/IMD/CIR NO 10/22701/03 dated December 12, 2003, the above guidelines are not applicable for Exchange Traded Funds. As RGETF is an exchange traded fund, same is not applicable.

C. SpECIAL COnSIdERATIOnS

Market Risk

Mutual funds and securities investments are subject to market risks and there is no assurance or guarantee that the objectives of the Scheme will be achieved. The NAV of the Scheme will react to the prices of gold, Gold Related Instruments and stock market movements. The Unit holder could lose their investments money over short periods due to fluctuation in the NAV of the Scheme in response to factors such as economic and political developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in stock prices market movements, and over longer periods during market downturns.

Additionally, the prices of gold may be affected by several factors such as global gold supply and demand, investors’ expectations with respect to the rate of inflation, currency exchange rates, interest rates, etc. Crises may motivate large-scale sales of gold, which could decrease the domestic price of gold.

Some of the key factors affecting gold prices are:

a) Central banks’ sale: Central banks across the world hold a part of their reserves in gold. The quantum of their sale in the market is one of the major determinants of gold prices. A higher supply than anticipated would lead to subdued gold prices and vice versa. Central banks buy gold to augment their existing reserves and to diversify from other asset classes. This acts as a support factor for gold prices.

b) Producer mining interest: Bringing new mines on-line is a time consuming and at times economically prohibitive process that adds years onto potential supply increases from mining production. On the other hand, lower production has a positive effect on gold prices. Conversely excessive production capacities would lead to a downward movement in gold prices as the supply goes up.

c) Macro-economic factors: A weakening dollar, high inflation, the massive US trade deficits all act in favor of gold prices. The global trend of rising interest rates also had a positive impact on gold prices. Gold being regarded as a physical asset would lose its luster in a deflationary environment as gold is used effectively as an inflation hedge.

d) Geo political issues: any uncertainty on the political front or any war-like situation always acts as a booster to gold prices. The prices start building up war premiums and hence such movements. Stable situations would typically mean stable gold prices.

e) Seasonal demand: Since the demand for Gold in India is closely tied to the production of jewellery pices tend to increase during the times of year when the demand for jewelry is the greatest, the demand for metals tends to be strong a few months ahead of these festive seasons, especially Dussera, Diwali, Akshaya Trithya festival and summer wedding season in in India. Christmas, Mothers Day, Valentine’s Day, are also major festive and shopping for Gold.

f) Change in duties & levies:

The gold held by the Custodian of RGETF may be subject to loss, damage, theft or restriction of access due to natural event or human actions. The Trustees may not have adequate sources of recovery if its gold is lost, damaged, stolen or destroyed and recovery may be limited, even in the event of fraud, to the market value of gold at the time the fraud is discovered.

The custodian will maintain adequate insurance for its bullion and custody business. The liability of the Custodian is limited under the agreement between the AMC and the Custodian which establish the Mutual Fund’s custody arrangements, or the custody agreements.

Market Trading Risks

Absence of Prior Active Market: Although RGETF units described in this Scheme information document are to be listed on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active secondary market will develop or be maintained.

Page 8: Reliance gold exchange traded fund

6

Lack of Market Liquidity

Trading in RGETF on the Exchange may be halted because of market conditions or for reasons that in the view of the market authorities or SEBI, trading in RGETF is not advisable. In addition, trading in RGETF is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility and pursuant to Stock Exchange(s) and SEBI ‘‘circuit filter’’ rules. There can be no assurance that the requirements of the market necessary to maintain the listing of RGETF will continue to be met or will remain unchanged. RGETF may suffer liquidity risk from domestic as well as international market.

Time lag in procurement/redemption of physical gold

Procurement of gold bars may take upto 1 month in case of adverse shortage of gold bars. It may not be possible to sell gold bar intentionally and may delay redemption depending on the market conditions.

RGETF may trade at prices other than NAV

RGETF may trade above or below its NAV. The NAV of RGETF will fluctuate with changes in the market value of Scheme’s holdings. The trading prices of RGETF will fluctuate in accordance with changes in their NAVs as well as market supply and demand of RGETF. However, given that RGETF can be created and redeemed only in “Creation Units” directly with the fund, it is expected that large discounts or premiums to the NAVs of RGETF may not sustain due to arbitrage possibility available.

Operational Risks

RGETF are relatively new product and their value could decrease if unanticipated operational or trading problems arise.

Regulatory Risk

Any changes in trading regulations by the Exchange or SEBI may affect the ability of Authorised Participants arbitrage resulting into wider premium/ discount to NAV. Although RGETF are proposed to be listed on Exchange, the AMC and the Trustees will not be liable for delay in listing of Units of the Scheme on Exchange / or due to connectivity problems with the depositories due to the occurrence of any event beyond their control.

political Risks

Whereas the Indian market was formerly restrictive, a process of deregulation has been taking place over recent years. This process has involved removal of trade barriers and protectionist measures, which could adversely affect the value of investments. It is possible that the future changes in the Indian political situation, including political, social or economic instability, diplomatic developments and changes in laws and regulations could have an effect on the value of investments. Expropriation, confiscatory taxation or other relevant developments could affect the value of investments.

Competition Risks

An investment in RGETF may be adversely affected by competition from other methods of investing in gold. The value of the units relates directly to the value of the gold held by the scheme and fluctuations in the price of gold could adversely affect investment value of the units.

The RGETF is designed to mirror as closely as possible the performance of the price of gold bullion and the value of units directly relate to the value of the Gold held by the Scheme less the Scheme’s liabilities (including accrued but unpaid expenses). Gold prices have been quite volatile historically. The price of gold has fluctuated from a low of $1316/Oz530 to a high of $726 1886.5/Oz between Jan-06Jan 11 and Feb- 07Aug 11 between based on the London LBMA AM Fix.

Several factors may affect the price of gold, including:

• Globalgold supplies anddemand,which is influencedby factors suchas forward sellingbygoldproducers, purchasesmadebygoldproducers to unwind gold hedge positions, central bank purchases and sales, and productions and cost levels in major gold producing countries such as the South Africa, the United States and Australia.

• Investors’expectationswithrespecttotherateofinflation;

• Currencyexchangerates;

• Interestrates;

• Investmentandtradingactivitiesofhedgefundsandcommodityfunds;and

• Globalorregionalpolitical,economicorfinancialeventsandsituations.

• Inaddition,investorsshouldbeawarethatthereisnoassurancethatgoldwillmaintainitslong-termvalueintermsofpurchasingpowerin the future. In the event that the price of gold declines, the value of investment in units is expected to decline proportionately.

• Changesinindirecttaxeslikecustomdutiesforimport,salestax,VAToranyotherlevieswillhaveanimpactonthevaluationofgoldandconsequently the NAV of the scheme.

• Although,theobjectiveoftheFundistoseektoprovidereturnsthatcloselycorrespondtoreturnsprovidedbypriceofgoldthroughinvestment in physical Gold and Gold related securities, the performance of the scheme may differ from that of the domestic prices of Gold due to expenses and or other related factors

Credit & Interest Rate Risk

The Fund may also invest in Gold Related Instruments, money market instruments, bonds, securitised debts & other debt securities as permitted under the Regulations which are subject to price, credit and interest rate risk. Trading volumes and settlement periods and transfer procedures may restrict liquidity in debt investments.

Right to Limit Redemptions

The Trustee, in the interest of the Unit holders of the Scheme offered in this Scheme information document and keeping in view of the

Page 9: Reliance gold exchange traded fund

7

unforeseen circumstances / unusual market conditions, may limit the total number of Units, which can be redeemed on any Working Day depending on the total “Underlying Stock of Gold” that can be readily sold in the local market available with the fund.

Redemption Risk

The Unit Holders may note that even though this is an open-ended scheme, the Scheme would ordinarily repurchase Units in Creation Unit size. Thus unit holdings less than the Creation Unit size can normally only be sold through the secondary market, unless no quotes are available on the Exchange for 2 trading days consecutively. Further, the price received upon the redemption of RGETF units may be less than the value of the gold represented by them. The result obtained by subtracting the Fund’s expenses and liabilities on any day from the price of the gold owned by the fund on that day is the net asset value of the fund which, when divided by the number of units outstanding on that date, results in the net asset value per unit, or NAV.

Asset Class Risk

The domestic price of gold may vary from time to time. Further, the returns from the types of securities in which a Scheme invests may under perform returns from the various general securities markets or different asset classes. Different types of securities tend to go through cycles of out-performance and under performance in comparison of the general securities markets.

passive Investments

As RGETF is not actively managed, the underlying investments may be affected by a general decline in the domestic price of gold and other instruments invested under the plan. RGETF invests in the Gold & securities mentioned in the asset allocation regardless of their investment merit. The AMC does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. Further, the fund manager does not make any judgment about the investment merit nor shall attempt to apply any economic, financial or market analysis.

Tracking Error Risk

Tracking error means the variance between daily returns of the underlying benchmark (gold in this case) and the NAV of the scheme for any given period. NAV of the Scheme is dependant on valuation of gold. Gold has to be valued as per the formula provided by SEBI in its circular no. SEBI/IMD/CIR No. 2/65348/06 dated April 21, 2006, Gazeted Notification Dated December 20, 2006 and such other circulars as issued by SEBI from time to time. NAV so computed may vary from the price of Gold in the domestic market.

Factors such as the fees and expenses of the Scheme, cash balance, changes to the Underlying assets and regulatory policies may affect AMC’s ability to achieve close correlation with the Underlying assets of the scheme. The Scheme’s returns may therefore deviate from those of its Underlying assets.

Tracking error could be the result of a various of factors including but not limited to:

• Delayinthepurchaseorsaleofgolddueto

• Illiquidityofgold,

• Delayinrealisationofsaleproceeds,

• Creatingalotsizetobuytherequiredamountofgold

• Settingoffofincrementalsubscriptionsagainstredemptions,duringliquiditywindow

• Useofgoldrelatedderivativeinstruments,asandwhenallowedbyregulations

• Rebalancingoftheportfolio

Given the structure of RGETF, the AMC expects the tracking error to be lower. The AMC will endeavor to keep the tracking error as low as possible. Under normal circumstances, such tracking errors are not expected to exceed 2% per annum. However this may vary when the markets are very volatile.

Tax Issues

Repurchase of RGETF by the Fund or sale of RGETF by the investor on the Stock Exchange may attract short or long term capital gain tax depending upon the holding period of the Units. Moreover, converting RGETF units to Gold may also attract Wealth tax. The tax benefits described in this Scheme information document are as available under the present taxation laws and are available subject to relevant conditions. The information given is included only for general purpose and is based on advice received by the AMC regarding the law and practice currently in force in India and the Unit holders should be aware that the relevant fiscal rules or their interpretation may change. As is the case with any investment, there can be no guarantee that the tax position or the proposed tax position prevailing at the time of an investment or redemption in the Scheme will endure indefinitely. In view of the individual nature of tax consequences, each investor is advised to consult his / her own professional tax advisor. Gold is subject to indirect tax not restricted to the following: Sales Tax, Octroi, VAT, Stamp Duty, and Custom Duty.

The Mutual Fund is not assuring or guaranteeing that it will be able to make regular periodical distributions/distribute bonus units to its Unit holders though it has every intention to manage the portfolio so as to make periodical income/bonus distributions to Unit holders. Periodical distributions will be dependent on the returns achieved by the Asset Management Company through the active management of the portfolio. Periodical distributions may therefore vary from period to period, based on investment results of the portfolio.

Past performance of the Sponsor/ the AMC/ the Mutual Fund is not indicative of the future performance of the Scheme. RGETF is the name oftheSchemeanddoesnotinanymannerindicateeitherthequalityoftheScheme;itsfutureprospectsorreturns.

All dividend distributions are subject to the availability of distributable surplus in the Scheme. When an investor switches from this scheme to another scheme on a future date, the scheme specific risk factors applicable to such scheme into which he switches, will apply.

Right to Limit Redemption

The Trustee may, in the general interest of the Unit holders of the Scheme under this Scheme Information Document and keeping in view the 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 issued and outstanding under any Scheme / Plan or such other percentage as the Trustee may determine. The Trustee may, at its sole discretion in response to unforeseen circumstances or unusual market conditions including, but not limited to, extreme volatility of the stock, fixed income and money markets, extended suspension of trading on the stock exchanges, natural calamities, communication breakdowns, internal system breakdowns, strikes, bandhs, riots or other situations where the Trustee in consultation with RCAM, considers that such suspension is necessary, 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 or such higher percentage as the Trustee may determine in any particular case.

Any Units, which by virtue of these limitations are not redeemed on a particular Business Day, will be carried forward for redemption to the next Business Day, in the order of receipt. Redemptions so carried forward will be priced on the basis of the Redemption Price 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, redemption’s will be made on pro-rata basis, based on the size of each redemption request, the balance amount being carried forward for redemption to the next Business Day(s).

The Custodian

The Trustee has appointed Deutsche Bank, who have been approved by SEBI to act as Custodian for Mutual Funds including gold exchange traded funds vide registration no. IN/CUS/003, as the Custodian for RGETF.

Allocated Accounts

An allocated account is an account with a Bank or Custodian, to which individually identified gold bars owned by the account holder are credited. The gold bars in an allocated gold account are specific to that account and are identified by a list which shows, for each gold bar, the refiner, assay or fineness, serial number and fine weight. The account holder has full ownership of the gold bars and, except as instructed by the account holder, the Bank or Custodian may not trade, lease or lend the bars.

Transfer of Gold

At the end of each business day gold is transferred to the schemes allocated account. The custodian allocates specific bars of gold from its gold stocks, so that allocated gold bars represent the amount of gold credited to the extent such amount is representable by whole bars. The bars of gold should be held directly by the Custodian. The custodian updates its records at the end of each business day to identify the specific bars of gold allocated to the scheme. The withdrawal of gold from the scheme for the purpose of redemption will follow the same procedure in the reverse order.

description Of The Custody Agreements

II. InFORMATIOn AbOUT THE SCHEME – Reliance Gold Exchange Traded Fund

A. TYpE OF THE SCHEME

An Open ended Gold Exchange Traded Fund that tracks the domestic prices of gold through investments in physical Gold.

b. WHAT IS THE InvESTMEnT ObjECTIvE OF THE SCHEME?

The investment objective is to seek to provide returns that closely correspond to returns provided by price of gold through investment in physical Gold (and Gold related securities as permitted by Regulators from time to time). However, the performance of the scheme may differ from that of the domestic prices of Gold due to expenses and or other related factors.

However, there can be no assurance that the investment objective of the scheme will be achieved.

C. HOW WILL THE SCHEME ALLOCATE ITS ASSETS?

Under normal circumstances, the anticipated asset allocation would be:

Instruments Indicative asset allocation (% of total assets) Risk profileMinimum Maximum

Physical Gold or Gold Related Instruments as permitted by regulators from time to time#

90% 100% Medium to High

Money Market instruments, Bonds, Debentures, Government Securities including T-Bills, Securitised Debt* & other debt securities as permitted by regulators from time to time

0% 10% Low to Medium

# Presently, investment only in physical gold is allowed as per SEBI guidelines. Investment in gold or gold related instruments may be undertaken as and when permitted by SEBI.

*Upto 10% in securitised debt

Use of gold related derivative instruments, as and when allowed by regulations

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

d. WHERE WILL THE SCHEME InvEST?

The Fund will, in general invest a significant part of its corpus in Physical Gold or Gold Related Instruments as permitted by regulators from time to time (as per the asset allocation mentioned above). Presently, investment only in physical gold is allowed as per SEBI guidelines. Investment in gold or gold related instruments may be undertaken as and when permitted by SEBI. However pending investments, the surplus amount of the Fund shall be invested in securitized debt, other debt securities, bonds and money market instruments as permitted by regulators from time to time.

purchase of Gold bars

The Fund will purchase Gold Bars from the RBI Authorised Banks and Agencies that are Refined at LBMA Registered Refiners (Updated list of the Refiners can be obtained from the LBMA Website – www.lbma.org.uk).

E. WHAT ARE THE InvESTMEnT STRATEGIES?

The fund manager would use a ‘passive’ approach to try and achieve the investment objective of the scheme. The fund manager shall not try to ‘‘beat’’ the Gold Market, but aims to replicate the returns, which commensurate the returns generated, by Gold during that period. It will however endeavor to seek temporary defensive positions when markets decline or appear over valued to the extent of its investment in Money Market or other debt securities. The fund manager would not make any judgment about the investment merit of a particular security nor will it attempt to apply any economic, financial or market analysis. This style of Passive Fund Management would eliminate the risks involved with active management with regard to over / underperformance vis-à-vis a benchmark.

The Fund will, in general invest a significant part of its corpus in Physical Gold or Gold Related Instruments as permitted by regulators from time to time (as per the asset allocation mentioned above). Presently, investment only in physical gold is allowed as per SEBI guidelines. Investment in gold or gold related instruments may be undertaken as and when permitted by SEBI. However pending investments, the surplus amount of the Fund shall be invested in securitized debt, other debt securities, bonds and money market instruments as permitted by regulators from time to time. Also whenever good investment opportunity is not available in the view of the Fund manager, the Fund will reduce its exposure to gold and Gold Related instruments and during that period the surplus asset of the Fund shall be invested in securitized debt, other debt securities, bonds and money market instruments.

However there is no assurance that all such buying and selling activities would necessarily result in benefit for the Fund. The allocation will be decided based upon the prevailing market conditions, prices of gold, macro economic environment, and the performance of the corporate sector, the debt market and other considerations. At times, such churning could lead to higher brokerage and transaction costs. To achieve its primary objective as mentioned above, the Fund would invest in gold and Gold Related Instruments as permitted by regulators from time to time. To achieve its secondary objective, the fund would invest in securitized debt, other debt securities, bonds and money market securities as permitted by regulators from time to time.

These securities could include:

• ObligationsofIndianCompanies(bothpublicandprivatesector)includingtermdepositswiththebanksaspermittedbySEBI/RBIfromtime to time and developmental financial institutions

• CertificateofDeposits(CDs)

• TheFundmayalsoenterinto“Repo”,orsuchothertransactionsasmaybeallowedtoMutualFundsfromtimetotime.

Subject to the Regulations, the investments may be in securities which are listed or unlisted, secured or unsecured, rated or unrated, having variable maturities, and acquired through secondary market purchases, RBI auctions, open market sales conducted by RBI etc., Initial Public Offers (IPOs), other public offers, placements, rights, offers, negotiated deals, etc

The Scheme may also enter into repurchase and reverse repurchase obligations in all securities held by it as per the guidelines and Regulations applicable to such transactions.

No investments shall be made in foreign securitised debt.

Investment process

The AMC will initially decide the quantity of gold to be imported / procured and kept with the Custodian (who acts as a warehouse/ custodian for the Fund). Against this quantity, AMC issues units to the investor. Therefore the entire corpus (except for some portion to meet liquidity) shall be invested upfront into Gold.

Case for Investing In Gold

The price of gold is the benchmark. All forms of investments carry some degree of risk. Holding gold directly also has risks. However, including gold in a well-balanced portfolio can help diversify risk. Gold’s ability to serve as a portfolio diversifiecation is due to its historically low-to-negative correlation with stocks and bonds. The economic forces that determine the price of gold are different from the forces that determine the prices of most financial assets. The price of gold depends upon various factors, including the supply and demand for gold, the strength or weakness of major foreign currency especially dollar, the rate of inflation, and interest rates and the current political environment. Gold is not subject to the risk of default or bankruptcy.

Tracking Error

Tracking error means the variance between daily returns of the underlying benchmark (gold in this case) and the NAV of the scheme for any given period. NAV of the Scheme is dependant on valuation of gold. Gold shall be valued based on the formula mentioned in SEBI circular no. SEBI/IMD/CIR No. 2/65348/06 dated April 21, 2006, Gazeted Notification Dated December 20, 2006 and such other circulars as issued by SEBI from time to time. NAV so computed may vary from the price of Gold in the domestic market. Factors such as the fees and expenses of the Scheme, corporate actions, cash balance, changes to the Underlying assets and regulatory policies may affect AMC’s ability to achieve close correlation with the Underlying assets of the scheme. The Scheme’s returns may therefore deviate from those of its Underlying assets.

Tracking error could be the result of a variety of factors including but not limited to:

• Delayinthepurchaseorsaleofgolddueto

• Illiquidityofgold,

• Delayinrealisationofsaleproceeds,

Creating a lot size to buy the required amount of gold

Investment philosophy and Focus

India today is the world’s largest democracy with a vibrant electorate, active Judiciary and civil society groups, and a fiercely independent media. For thousand of years, gold has been prized for its parity, its beauty, and above all its unique characteristics as a store of value. In today’s uncertain climate, many investors turn to gold because it is an important and secure asset that can be tapped at any time, under virtually any circumstances.

But there is another side to gold that is equally important, and that is its day-to-day performance as a stabilizing influence for investment portfolio. These advantages are currently attracting considerable attention from financial professionals and sophisticated investors worldwide. Recent independent studies have revealed that traditional diversifiers often fall during times of market stress or stability. On these occasions most asset classes (including traditional diversifiers such as bonds and alternative assets) all move together in the same direction. There is no “cushioning” effect of a diversified portfolio - leaving investors disappointed. However, a small allocation of gold has been proven to significantly improve the consistency of portfolio performance, during both stable and unstable financial periods. Greater consistency of performance leads to a desirable outcome - an investor whose expectations are met.

The consumers and public have realized the benefits of liberalization through increase in the choice and quality of products and decrease in prices. The business and industry have also adjusted themselves with the liberalization and globalization. The unprecedented high level of foreign exchange reserves, upward trend in FDI inflows and the general growth of the economy has given more confidence and encouragement to the policy-makers to further accelerate its economic reforms and liberalization process. Both at the central and state levels and across political parties, in general, there is consensus on further economic liberalization.

An essential feature of modernisation of finance is the removal of entry barriers, so that it is easy for finance companies to enter and exit any kind of financial activity. RGF promises to be a step forward for the gold spot market in offering such a trading framework, characterised by nationwide participation by households and without entry barriers faced by finance companies.

The Micro view

From the narrow viewpoint of a household also, the RGF offers many benefits. Gold is a part of the portfolio of millions of households in the country. For households, the gold ETF offers the following advantages.

• Zeroconcernsaboutphysicalsecurity,theftoradulterationwhenfacedwiththetasksofcustodyandspottransactions.

This would greatly assist many low-income households by easing the credit constraints that they face. A household which may possess physical gold today would, in comparison, obtain more limited credit access owing to concerns about the purity and liquidity of the physical gold. In contrast, the Gold ETF Units will eliminate concerns about purity, and will offer assured secondary market liquidity.

debt market in India

The Indian Debt market is facing major shift in the recent times. The substantial growth in Mutual Fund collections in the past few years have provided an easy route for the investors to channelise their savings into the debt market, which otherwise is largely dominated by Banks and other Institutional investors.

At present, the Indian debt market is dominated by issues of Central Government bonds, Coporate Debentures and PSU Bonds. The new Securitised instruments are also very attractive in the primary market. Risk associated with securitized Debt or PTCs are credit risk, liquidity risk and price risk/interest rate risk. The other instruments available for investment are Commercial Papers, Certificate of Deposits, Government guaranteed bonds, etc.

Settlement of purchase/sale of RGETF units on the stock exchange:

Buying / Selling RGETF units on the stock exchange is similar to buying / selling any other listed securities. If an investor has sold units, an investor has to deliver the units to the broker/ sub-broker before the securities pay-in day of the settlement cycle on the exchange. The units (in case of units bought) and the funds (in the case of units sold) are paid out to the broker on the payout day of the settlement cycle on the exchange. The exchange regulations stipulate that the trading member should pay the money or units to the investor within 24 hours of the payout. (SEBI SMD/POLICY/Cir-/03 dated February 6, 2003).

If an investor has bought units, he should give standing instructions for ‘Delivery-In’ to his/her DP for accepting units in his/her beneficiary account. An investor should give the details of his/her beneficiary account and the DP-ID of his/her DP to his/her trading member. The trading member will transfer the units directly to his/her beneficiary account on receipt of the same from exchange’s clearing corporation.

An investor who has sold units should instruct his/her Depository Participant (DP) to give ‘Delivery Out’ instructions to transfer the units from his/her trading member through whom he/she have sold the units.

The details of the pool A/c of investor’s trading member to which the units are to be transferred, unit quantity etc. should be mentioned in the delivery out instructions given by him/her to the DP. The instructions should be given well before the prescribed securities pay-in day. SEBI has advised that the delivery out instructions should be given atleast 24 hours prior to the cut off time for the prescribed securities pay in to avoid any rejection of instructions due to data entry errors, network problems, etc.

Rolling Settlement

As per the SEBI’s circular dated March 4, 2003, the rolling settlement on T+2 basis for all trades has commenced from April 1, 2003 onwards. The Pay-in and Pay-out of funds and the units will take place 2 working days after the trading date. The pay-in and pay-out days for funds and securities are prescribed as per the Settlement Cycle. A typical Settlement Cycle of Rolling Settlement is given below:

Day Activity

T The day on which the transaction is executed by a trading member

T+1 Confirmation of all trades including custodial trades by 11.00 a.m.

T+1 Processing and downloading of obligation files to brokers /custodians by 1.30 p.m.

T+2 Pay-in of funds and securities by 11.00 a.m.

T+2 Pay out of funds and securities by 1.30 p.m.

While calculating the days from the Trading day (Day T), weekend days (i.e. Saturday and Sundays) and bank holidays are not taken into consideration.

Redemption Redemption of Units

Mutual fund will repurchase units from Authorised Participants on any business day provided the units offered for repurchase is not less than 1000 units and multiples of 1 thereafter. In case the fund is not in a position to sell the underlying gold in the market to generate cash, the fund reserves the right to / may exercise the option of redeeming the units of RGETF in the form of physical gold.

The Authorised Participants may opt to take delivery of physical gold instead of redemption proceeds in cash, subject to a minimum of 1000 units.

Redemption procedure Redemption procedure

Applications for redemption of RGETF units have to be submitted in the prescribed format duly completed and signed along with the delivery order duly receipted by the DP stating the number of RGETF units transferred to the scheme’s DP account. Application for redemption by non-individuals should be accompanied by certified copy (ies) of the board/governing body resolution clearly authorizing the official concerned to redeem units and to receive/collect securities/cash after complying with operational procedure and formalities. The application for redemption on a prescribed form will have to be submitted at the designated ISC before the cut off time. The number of units available for redemption in the account of the unitholder will be confirmed by the Registrars with the records maintained and downloaded by the depository with which the unitholder is holding the depository account. Redemption request will be processed further if the records as mentioned above show that the depository account has adequate number of units. The time taken for confirmation of redemption of units is dependent upon the download frequency that depository may permit. The registrar will instruct the custodian to sell the number of units to be redeemed. Redemption proceeds will be sent to the unitholder within 10 working days from the date of confirmation with the depository records.

procedure for Redeeming RGETF in Creation Unit Size

The requisite number of RGETF units equaling the Creation Unit has to be transferred to the Fund’s DP account and the Cash Component to be paid to the AMC / Custodian. On confirmation of the same by the AMC, the Custodian will transfer the Portfolio Deposit by handing over the physical Gold of the predefined purity and quantity to the investor and pay the Cash Component, if applicable.The AMC may redeem Creation Unit of RGETF prior to receipt of all or portion of the relevant RGETF in certain circumstances where the purchaser, among other things, posts collateral to secure its obligation to deliver such outstanding RGETF units. The Portfolio Deposit and Cash Component for the RGETF may change from time to time due to change in NAV. The Fund may from time to time change the size of creation unit size in order to equate it with marketable lot of underlying physical gold.

The procedures by which an authorized participant can redeem one or more baskets will be same as the procedures for the creation of units. On any business day, an authorized participant may send a redemption request to the AMC. The registrar will instruct the custodian to sell the number of units to be redeemed and the mode of redemption (physical gold or cash). The custodian will deliver the gold in physical form to the nearest 100 gram and the balance amount will be paid in cash. The number of Units so redeemed will be subtracted from the unitholder’s account balance and a statement to this effect will be issued to the unitholder.

In case the balance in unitholder’s account does not cover the amount of redemption request, the Fund may close the unitholder’s account and send the entire (lesser) balance to the unitholder, provided further that if the unitholder has made a partial redemption request which results in balance of units to fall below minimum application amount as per the latest NAV, the fund may close the unitholders account & redeem all units in the folio & remit the entire redemption proceeds to the investors. If an investor has purchased Units on more than one working day, the Units purchased prior in time (i.e. those Units which have been held for the longest period of time), will be deemed to have been redeemed first, i.e. on a First In First Out Basis.

Units purchased by cheque or draft will not be redeemed until the realisation of the cheque/DD.The procedure relating to purchase and sale of units by different types of investors/participants in the scheme is tabulated for easy reference:

The Authorised Participants may opt to take delivery of physical gold instead of redemption proceeds in cash, subject to a minimum of 1000 units. In such a scenario, the Authorised Participants will have to collect the gold bar(s) from the Custodian at their own cost as per procedure prescribed by the AMC & its Custodian from time to timeAggregate Fees and expenses charged to the Scheme - The AMC has estimated that following % of the weekly average net assets of the scheme will be charged to the scheme as expenses for the actual current expenses being charged, the investor should refer to the website of the mutual fund.An investor can buy/sell units of RGETF on a continuous basis on the National Stock Exchange and/or other recognised stock exchanges where units are listed and traded like any other publicly traded securities at market prices which may be close to the actual NAV of the scheme.

Mutual fund will repurchase units from Authorised Participants on any business day provided the units offered for repurchase is not less than 1000 units .The Unit Holders may note that even though this is an open-ended scheme, the Scheme would ordinarily repurchase Units in Creation Unit size. Thus unit holdings less than the Creation Unit size can normally only be sold through the secondary market, unless no quotes are available on the Exchange for 2 trading days consecutively. Further, the price received upon the redemption of RGETF units may be less than the value of the gold represented by them. The result obtained by subtracting the Fund’s expenses and liabilities on any day from the price of the gold owned by the fund on that day is the net asset value of the fund which, when divided by the number of units outstanding on that date, results in the net asset value per unit, or NAV.Authorised Participant can directly buy / sell Units in blocks from the Fund in ‘Creation Unit’ size, as defined in this Scheme information document on all working days.Since RGETF are to be issued / repurchased and traded compulsorily in dematerialized form, no request for rematerialisation of RMF will be accepted.In case the fund is not in a position to sell the underlying gold in the market to generate cash, the fund reserves the right to / may exercise the option of redeeming the units of RGETF in the form of physical gold.
