Sundaram Mutual Fundwww.sundarammutual.com 8

Sundaram Equity MultiplierPart I Risk Factors

financial markets or industries (for example, changesin inflation, consumer demand, supply situation andGDP growth). Company-specific factors may includethe likes of success or failure of a new product,mergers, takeovers, earnings announcement andchanges in management, to name a few. Securitiesowned by the Scheme may offer opportunities forgrowth because of high potential earnings growth;they may also involve greater risks than securities thatdo not have the same potential.

• Dependency Risk: The Scheme may invest in stocksand mutual funds and exchange-traded funds linkedto stocks. Equity confers a proportionate share of theownership of a company. Its value will depend on thesuccess of the company’s business, income paid tostockholders by way of dividend, the value of thecompany’s assets, quality of its corporate governancepractice, its attractiveness relative to peers andgeneral market conditions. The fund may also investin convertible securities and warrants. Convertiblesecurities generally are fixed-income securities orpreference shares that may be converted intocommon stock after a prescribed period.

• Temporary Investment Risk: If the fund manager is ofthe view that market or economic conditions maybecome unfavourable for investors in equities, he mayinvest a higher proportion of the fund’s assets in highquality short-term and medium-term fixed incomeinstruments as well as near-cash equivalents. Thismay be a defensive and temporary strategy. The fundmanager may also adopt such a strategy whilezeroing in on appropriate investment opportunities orto maintain liquidity. At times, such investments maylead to lower returns. In these circumstances, theScheme may be unable to achieve its investmentgoal.

• Non-diversification Risk: The Scheme may pursueonly a limited degree of diversification. It may invest agreater proportion of assets in the securities of oneissuer (within the limit permitted by Regulation) ascompared to a diversified fund. This could haveimplications for the performance of the Scheme. TheScheme may be more sensitive to economic,business, political or other changes and this may leadto sizeable fluctuation in the Net Asset Value of theScheme.

• Asset-Class Risk: Stocks have historically outpacedother asset classes such as gold, fixed deposits andbonds, to name a few, over the long-term in India.Individual stocks prices may, however, tend to riseand decline in a dramatic manner. Such pricemovement may be due to company-specific aspectsor factors such as inflation, interest rates and growth

rates that affect the securities market in entirety. Aslowdown in growth or a partial or full-blown recessionmay have a negative impact on prices of most stocksowned by the Scheme.

Risk Factors - Debt Markets

• Interest Rate Risk: Changes in the prevailing rates ofinterest may affect the value of the Scheme’s holdingsand consequently the value of the Scheme’s Units.Increased rates of interest, which frequently accompanyinflation and /or a growing economy, may have anegative effect on the value of the Units. The value ofdebt securities held by the Scheme generally will varyinversely with the changes in prevailing interest rates.While it is the intent of the fund manager to investprimarily in high rated debt securities, the Scheme mayfrom time to time invest in higher yielding, low ratedsecurities. As a result, an investment in the Scheme maybe accompanied by a higher degree of risk relative toan investment consisting exclusively of high rated, loweryielding securities.

• Credit Risk: Credit Risk refers to the risk of failure ofinterest (coupon) payment and /or principal repayment.All debt instruments carry this risk. Governmentsecurities carry sovereign credit risk. The assets of theScheme may be partly invested in fixed incomesecurities issued by a corporate entity, bank, financialinstitution and/or a public sector undertaking owned bythe Government of India or by a government in any state.The credit risk associated with the aforementionedissuers of debt is higher than that of governmentsecurities.

• Price Risk: As long as the Scheme remains invested, itsNet Asset Value (NAV) would be exposed to marketfluctuations, and its value can go up as well as down.The portfolio of fixed-income securities that the Schemeinvests in would be exposed to price changes on a day-to-day basis.

• These price changes may occur due to instrument-specific factors as well as general macroeconomicconditions. In general, price of fixed-income securitiesgo up when interest rates fall, and vice versa.

• Market Risk: The Scheme may also be subject to pricevolatility due to such factors as interest sensitivity, marketperception or the creditworthiness of the issuer andgeneral market liquidity.

• Liquidity Risk: A lower level of liquidity affecting anindividual security (ies) or an entire market may have anadverse bearing on the value of the Scheme’s assets.This may more importantly affect its ability to sellparticular securities with minimal impact cost as andwhen necessary to meet requirement of liquidity or to sellstocks in response to triggers such as a specificeconomic/corporate event. Trading volumes, settlement

Sundaram Equity MultiplierPart I Risk Factors

periods and transfer procedures may restrict the liquidityof a few of the investments.

• Risk relating to investment pattern: Different types ofsecurities in which the Scheme would invest as given inthe Scheme Information Document carry different levelsand types of risk. Accordingly the Scheme's risk mayincrease or decrease depending upon its investmentpattern. e.g. corporate debt carry credit risk unlikeGovernment securities. Further even among corporatedebt, AAA rated debt is comparatively less risky (incredit risk terms) than those rated lower (say AA or A).

• Risks relating to duration: Fixed Income securities of anyissuer that has higher duration could be more risky interms of price movements relative to those with lowerduration. Thus any impact of interest rate changes wouldbe higher on securities with higher duration irrespectiveof the status of the issuer of the security.

• Limited Liquidity & Price Risk: Presently, secondarymarket for securitised papers is not very liquid. There isno assurance that a deep secondary market will developfor such securities. This could limit the ability of theinvestor to resell them. Even if a secondary marketdevelops and sales were to take place, these secondarytransactions may be at a discount to the initial issueprice due to changes in the interest rate structure.

• Limited Recourse, Delinquency and Credit Risk:Securitised transactions are normally backed by a poolof receivables and credit enhancement as stipulated bythe rating agency, which differ from issue to issue. TheCredit Enhancement stipulated represents a limited losscover to the Investors. These Certificates represent anundivided beneficial interest in the underlyingreceivables and there is no obligation of either the Issueror the Seller or the originator, or the parent or any affiliateof the Seller, Issuer and Originator. No financial recourseis available to the Certificate Holders against theInvestors’ Representative. Delinquencies and creditlosses may cause depletion of the amount availableunder the Credit Enhancement and thereby the InvestorPayouts may get affected if the amount available in theCredit Enhancement facility is not enough to cover theshortfall. On persistent default of an Obligor to repay hisobligation, the servicer may repossess and sell theunderlying Asset. However many factors may affect,delay or prevent the repossession of such Asset or thelength of time required to realize the sale proceeds onsuch sales. In addition, the price at which such Assetmay be sold may be lower than the amount due from thatObligor.

• Risks due to possible prepayments: Weighted Tenor /Yield: Asset securitisation is a process wherebycommercial or consumer credits are packaged and soldin the form of financial instruments Full prepayment of

underlying loan contract may arise under any of thefollowing circumstances;• Obligor pays the Receivable due from him at any time

prior to the scheduled maturity date of thatReceivable; or

• Receivable is required to be repurchased by theSeller consequent to its inability to rectify a materialmisrepresentation with respect to that Receivable; or

• The servicer recognizing a contract as a defaultedcontract and hence repossessing the underlyingAsset and selling the same.In the event of prepayments, investors may beexposed to changes in tenor and yield.

• Bankruptcy of the Originator or Seller: If originatorbecomes subject to bankruptcy proceedings and thecourt in the bankruptcy proceedings concludes that thesale from originator to Trust was not a sale then anInvestor could experience losses or delays in thepayments due. All possible care is generally taken instructuring the transaction so as to minimize the risk ofthe sale to Trust not being construed as a “True Sale”.Legal opinion is normally obtained to the effect that theassignment of Receivables to Trust in trust for and for thebenefit of the Investors, as envisaged herein, wouldconstitute a true sale.

• Bankruptcy of the Investor’s Agent: If the Investor’sagent, becomes subject to bankruptcy proceedings andthe court in the bankruptcy proceedings concludes thatthe recourse of Investor’s Agent to the assets /receivables is not in its capacity as agent / Trustee but inits personal capacity, then an Investor could experiencelosses or delays in the payments due under the swapagreement. All possible care is normally taken instructuring the transaction and drafting the underlyingdocuments so as to provide that the assets/receivablesif and when held by Investor’s Agent is held as agentand in Trust for the Investors and shall not form part ofthe personal assets of Investor’s Agent. Legal opinion isnormally obtained to the effect that the Investors Agent’srecourse to assets/ receivables is restricted in itscapacity as agent and trustee and not in its personalcapacity.

• Credit Rating of the Transaction / Certificate: The creditrating is not a recommendation to purchase, hold or sellthe Certificate in as much as the ratings do not commenton the market price of the Certificate or its suitability to aparticular investor. There is no assurance by the ratingagency either that the rating will remain at the same levelfor any given period of time or that the rating will not belowered or withdrawn entirely by the rating agency.

• Risk of Co-mingling: The servicer normally deposit allpayments received from the Obligors into the CollectionAccount. However, there could be a time gap between

Sundaram Equity MultiplierPart I Risk Factors

collection by a servicer and depositing the same into theCollection account especially considering that some ofthe collections may be in the form of cash. In this interimperiod, collections from the Loan Agreements may notbe segregated from other funds of the servicer. If theservicer fails to remit such funds due to Investors, theInvestors may be exposed to a potential loss. Due careis normally taken to ensure that the servicer enjoyshighest credit rating on stand alone basis to minimizeCo-mingling risk.

Risk Factors - Overseas Investments

As the Scheme will invest in global markets; investors willbe exposed to several risk factors that are not relevant forthe Scheme that invests in Indian securities. A few types ofrisks are:• Foreign Exposure and Currency Risk: The Scheme

may invest in overseas securities that are issued andtraded in foreign currencies. As a result, their valuesmay be affected by changes in exchange ratesbetween foreign currencies and the Indian Rupee aswell as between currencies of countries other thanIndia. Restrictions on currency trading that may beimposed will have an adverse effect on the value ofthe securities of companies that trade or operate insuch countries.

• Country Risk: This refers to inability of a country tomeet its financial obligations for economical, politicalor geo-political reasons. The degree of this risk mayvary from country to country.

• Event Risk: Diplomatic and political developments,including rapid and adverse political changes, socialinstability, regional conflicts, terrorism and war, couldaffect the economies, industries and securities andcurrency markets, and the value of the Scheme’sinvestments. These factors are extremely difficult, ifnot impossible, to predict and take into account withrespect to the Scheme’s investments.

• Restrictions imposed overseas: Changes in localregulation can affect the local financial markets andrestrictions on investment by overseas investors beimposed; introduction of exchange controls andimmobilisation of foreigner financial assets can occurIn contrast, an improvement in country risk rating maytake a substantially longer period.

• Emerging Markets Risk: Emerging market countriesinclude those currently considered to be developingby the World Bank, the International FinanceCorporation, the United Nations, the countries’authorities or countries that are treated as emergingmarkets by index service providers at the global level.These countries typically are located in the Asia-Pacific region, Eastern Europe, Central and SouthAmerica and Africa. Emerging markets are

comparatively smaller than developed markets. Theyare characterised by high degree of market-price andcurrency volatility and declines of more than 50% arenot unusual. Markets that are generally considered tobe liquid may become illiquid for short or extendedperiods.

• Regulation-Change Risk: If the Government of India,RBI and/or SEBI decide to alter the regulatoryframework for investment in overseas financial assetsby mutual funds, it may have an impact on theScheme’s ability to adhere to the investment objective.If and when such an eventuality materialises, theTrustee reserves the right to alter the investmentobjective of the Scheme or wind up the Scheme.

Risk Factors - ADR/GDR

• Currency risk in case the rupee appreciates againstthe currency in which the security is issued.

• In the case of GDRs, liquidity may be poor anddependent on the market-makers.

• In case of ADRs, liquidity may be more than in thecase of GDRs and lower than in the underlying stocklisted in India (NSE and/or BSE), as ADRs are usuallylisted either on the NYSE or Nasdaq.

ADRs/GDRs cannot be held in the name of the MutualFund; they have to be held in the name of a custodian(usually domiciled outside India).

Risk Factors - Derivatives

• Counter Party Risk: This is the risk of default ofobligations by the counter party.

• Market risk: Derivatives carry the risk of adversechanges in the market price.

• Illiquidity risk: The risk that a derivative cannot be sold orpurchased quickly enough at a fair price, due to lack ofliquidity in the market.

• Basis Risk: the risk that the movements in swap ratesdoes not actually reflect the expected movement inbenchmark rates, thus, creating a mismatch with whatwas intended.

The guidelines issued by Reserve Bank of India from timeto time for forward rate agreements, interest rate swaps,futures and other derivative products would be adhered to.The Scheme may also use various derivative and hedgingproducts from time to time, as would be available andpermitted by SEBI/RBI, in an attempt to protect the value ofthe portfolio.As and when the Scheme trades in the derivatives marketthere are risk factors and issues concerning the use ofderivatives that investors should understand.Derivative products are specialised instruments that requireinvestment techniques and risk analysis. The use of aderivative requires an understanding not only of theunderlying instrument but also of the derivative itself.

Sundaram Mutual Fundwww.sundarammutual.com 11

Sundaram Equity MultiplierPart I Risk Factors

Derivatives require the maintenance of adequate controlsto monitor the transactions entered into, the ability toassess the risk that a derivative adds to the portfolio andthe ability to forecast price or interest rate movementscorrectly. There is the possibility that a loss may besustained by the portfolio as a result of the failure of anotherparty (usually referred to as the "counter party") to complywith the terms of the derivatives contract. Other risks inusing derivatives include the risk of mispricing or impropervaluation of derivatives and the inability of derivatives tocorrelate perfectly with underlying assets, rates andindices. Thus, derivatives are highly leveraged instruments.Even a small price movement in the underlying instrumentcould have a large impact on their value. Also, the marketfor derivative instruments is nascent in India.The Scheme may use techniques such as interest rateswaps, options on interest rates, futures, warrants, forwardrate agreement and other derivative instruments that are /may be permitted under SEBI/RBI Regulation. Thesetechniques and instruments, if imperfectly used, have therisk of the Scheme incurring losses due to mismatches,particularly in a volatile market. The Scheme ability to usethese techniques may be limited by market conditions,regulatory limits and tax considerations (if any).Derivative products are leveraged instruments and canprovide disproportionate gains as well as disproportionatelosses to the investor. Execution of such strategiesdepends upon the ability of the fund manager to identifysuch opportunities. Identification and execution of thestrategies to be pursued by the fund manager involveuncertainty and decision of the fund manager may notalways be profitable. No assurance can be given that thefund manager will be able to identify or execute suchstrategies.The risks associated with the use of derivatives are differentfrom or possibly greater than, the risks associated withinvesting directly in securities and other traditionalinvestments.

Minimum Number of Investors & Single-Investor Limit

As per SEBI Regulations, the Scheme shall have aminimum of 20 investors and no single investor shallaccount for more than 25% of the corpus of the Scheme ineach calender quarter on an average basis. In case theScheme does not have a minimum of 20 investors in thestipulated period, the provisions of Regulation 39(2)(c) ofthe SEBI (MF) Regulation would become applicableautomatically without any reference from SEBI andaccordingly the Scheme shall be wound up and the unitswould be redeemed at applicable NAV. The two conditionsmentioned above shall also be complied within eachsubsequent calendar quarter thereafter, on an averagebasis, 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 investorwho is in breach of the rule shall be given 15 days noticeto redeem his exposure over the 25% limit. Failure on thepart of the said investor to redeem his exposure over the25% limit within the aforesaid 15 days would lead toautomatic redemption by the Mutual Fund on theapplicable Net Asset Value on the 15th day of the noticeperiod. The Fund shall adhere to the requirementsprescribed by SEBI from time to time in this regard.

money;• The securities market – The market for trading in

securities and• The derivatives market – The market for fixed income

derivatives.In this predominantly institutional market, the key marketplayers are banks, financial institutions, insurancecompanies, mutual funds, primary dealers and companies.Provident / pension funds, though present, are not activeplayers.The Money MarketThe money market can be classified into two broadcategories

The market for clean borrowing/lending without backingof any collateral:• Call Money: The market for overnight

borrowing/lending.• Notice Money: The market for borrowing/lending from

2 days to a fortnight.• Term Money: The market for borrowing/lending from

a fortnight to six months.The market for collateralised borrowing/lending:• Repo transactions: These are redemption-obligation

transactions in which the borrower tenders securitiesto the lender; these securities are bought back by theborrower on the redemption date. The price differencebetween the sale and redemption of the securities isthe implicit interest rate for the borrowing/lending. Theeligible underlying securities for these transactionsare government securities and treasury bills.Corporate bonds are not allowed as eligiblesecurities for repo transactions. The minimum repoterm (lending /borrowing period) is one day.

• CBLO: CBLO stands for Collateralized Borrowing andLending Obligation. CBLO is a discount instrument

Sundaram Mutual Fundwww.sundarammutual.com 16

Sundaram Equity MultiplierPart II Information about the Scheme

introduced by the Clearing Corporation of IndiaLimited (CCIL). They can be traded like any otherdiscount instrument. Lenders buy CBLOs andborrowers sell CBLOs. CCIL manages the risksinherent in issuing these securities through a systemof margins and deposits that it takes from both lendersand borrowers. CBLOs can be issued/bought/sold fora minimum of one day to a maximum of 364 days.

The Securities MarketThe market for fixed-income securities can be broadlyclassified into• The market for money market (short-term) instruments:

Money-market securities are generally discountsecurities maturing within one year from the date ofissuance. Instruments satisfying this criterion aretreasury bills (obligations of the government),commercial paper (obligations of the corporate sector)and certificate of deposit (obligations of banks).

• The market for Government Securities: Governmentsecurities are medium-/long-term debt obligations of thegovernment. The market for government securities is themost liquid segment of the fixed-income market in India.Most of the secondary market trading is concentrated ingovernment securities. Trading in government securitiesis now done mostly through an electronic trading,reporting and settlement platform developed by theReserve Bank of India (RBI) called Negotiated DealingSystem. The role of brokers, which was an importantelement of the Indian bond market, is now lesssignificant in this segment than in the past.

• The market for corporate bonds: Trading in corporatebonds is relatively subdued (in comparison togovernment securities). Price discovery and trading inthis segment are still through the telephone. Attempts atimproving the trading, settlement and risk-managementpractices for trading corporate bonds are currentlyunderway.

• The market for floating-rate securities: The coupon ratein floating-rate securities is linked to an acceptablebenchmark. Floating-rate securities generally have acoupon rate, which is reset over a regular perioddepending on the benchmark chosen. The marketwidely uses the MIBOR benchmarks announced byIndependent agencies such as NSE and Reuters. Whenbenchmark interest rate rises, the income generated onthese floating-rate securities may also rise. When thebenchmark interest rates decline, the income generatedon these floating-rate securities may decline.Increasingly more companies are raising resourcethrough floating-rate securities. Most of such securitiesare in the form of floating-rate debentures at a spreadover NSE MIBOR. The other popular benchmark is theIndian Government securities benchmark yield (knownas INBMK). The reset in such cases happen after aperiod of time, generally six months. The Governmentof India has also started issuing floating-rate securitiesusing INBMK 1 year as the benchmark.

• The market for other instruments such as securitised

debt: Trading in other instruments such as securitiseddebt is relatively scarce. Price discovery and trading inthis segment too is through the telephone.

The Fixed-Income Derivatives MarketThe interest-rate derivatives market is at a developingstage in India. Instruments broadly transacted are • InterestRate Swaps; and • Forward Rate Agreements.• Interest Rate Swaps: This is an agreement between two

parties to exchange stated interest obligations for anagreed period in respect of a notional principal amount.The most common form is a fixed-to-floating-rate swapwhere one party receives a fixed (pre-determined) rateof interest while the other receives a floating (variable)rate of interest.

• Forward Rate Agreement: This is basically a forward-starting interest-rate swap. It is an agreement betweentwo parties to pay or receive the difference between anagreed fixed rate (the FRA rate) and the interest rate(reference rate) prevailing on a stipulated future date,based on a notional principal amount for an agreedperiod. The only cash flow is the difference between theFRA rate and the reference rate. The notional amountsare not exchanged.

DerivativesDerivatives are financial contracts or instruments thatderive their value from an underlying asset. Derivatives maybe used for hedging and portfolio balancing purposes toseek to optimise performance in the Scheme and will besubject to applicable Regulations of SEBI/RBI from time totime.Portfolio balancing includes any type of deals in derivativesas long as they are fully covered by holding a position in theunderlying securities/ cash/cash equivalents/options/futures. Trading is permitted only in exchange-tradedderivatives. The derivatives shall be marked-to-market bythe Investment Manager at all times.Transactions in derivatives include a wide range ofinstruments, including, but not limited to futures, options,swaps, and interest rate swaps, forward rate agreementsand any other instrument as may be permitted by SEBI/RBIfrom time to time.Futures: A purchase of futures contract obligates thepurchaser to take delivery of the underlying asset at theexpiry of the contract. The transaction is netted at the endof the contract and the difference settled between theinvestor & the clearing house. A part of value of thecontract – 15% to 25% on an average (the number couldbe higher for specific contracts or for all contracts atspecific times) – is the margin.Payoffs in futures are linear with reference to the underlyingand the risk is basically directional. Buyers and sellers offutures carry equal risk.The margin depends on volatility of the underlying assetand the difference between the spot price and the contractprice, to name a few influencing variables.Please note that the following illustrative examples aregiven for information purposes only and are based onhypothetical values for the S & P CNX Nifty and/or stock.

Example for index futures: Stock index futures areinstruments designed to give exposure to the equitymarkets indices. The Stock Exchange, Mumbai (BSE) andThe National Stock Exchange (NSE) have trading in indexfutures of 1, 2 and 3 month maturities.The pricing of an index future is the function of theunderlying index and short term interest rates. Index futuresare cash settled, there is no delivery of the underlyingstocks.If a Scheme buys 1,000 futures contracts, each contractvalue is 200 times the futures index price. Purchase date:January 01, 2009. Spot index: 2000.00 Future price:2010.00 Date of expiry: January 25, 2009. If the exchangeimposes a margin of 10%, the Investment Manager will berequired to provide Rs.40,200,000 (i.e. 10% * 2010 * 1000* 200) by way of eligible securities and/or and cash. If onthe date of expiry – January 01, 2009 - the S&P CNX NiftyIndex closes at 2025, the net impact will be a profit of Rs.3,000,000 for the Scheme ((2025–2010) * 1000 * 200).The profit or loss for the Scheme will be the differencebetween the closing price (which can be higher or lowerthan the purchase price) and the purchase price. The risksassociated with index futures are similar to thoseassociated with equity investments plus there are additionalrisks with additional risks highlighted in the Risk Factorspart of this document.Example for stock futures: A futures contract on a stockgives its owner the right and obligation to buy or sell stocks.Single stock futures traded on the NSE are cash settled;there is no delivery of the underlying stocks on theexpiration date.A purchase or sale of futures on a security gives the traderessentially the same price exposure as a purchase or saleof the security itself. Trading stock futures is no differentfrom trading the security itself.The Scheme buys shares of A Ltd. Its current price is Rs500. The Scheme sells one month futures on the shares ofA Ltd at Rs 550. If the price of the stock declines, theMutual Fund will suffer losses on the stock position heldand profit on futures position. The price of stock on theexpiry date is Rs 450. The price of the futures on the stockdeclines to Rs 480. There is a loss of Rs. 50 per share onthe on the holding of the stock. This is offset by profit of Rs70 on the short position in stock futures.Risks associated with stock futures are similar to thoseassociated with equity investments plus there are additionalrisks with additional risks highlighted in the Risk Factorspart of this document.Options: An option gives the owner the right to buy or sellthe underlying asset based on specific prices trends butthe not the obligation. The option will be exercised if theoutcome is favourable to the owner. A call option gives theowner a right to buy the underlying asset at a pre-determined price on a pre-specified date. A put' optiongives the owner the right to sell a security at a pre-determined price on a pre-specified date.Risk is limited (or known) to premium if call or put options

are purchased. If options are sold, the risk is unlimited (orunknown). The risk of the unknown can be mitigated bystaying covered, using covered calls or bull/bear spread, toname a few strategies. Payoffs in options are non-linear.Example of options:Please note that the following illustrative examples aregiven for information purposes only and are based onhypothetical values for the S & P CNX Nifty and/or stock.The Scheme owns 10000 shares of A with a current marketprice of Rs 160. The view of the fund manager is that theprice could decline by Rs 10 – Rs 12 over a one-monthperiod. The fund manager does, however, wish to hold theshares due to the positive long-term outlook. The fundmanager can cover the expected near-term decline bywriting a call or buying a put.A call option may be sold for a contract size of 10000 at astrike price of Rs 160 with an expiry date that is one monthgoing forward. The Scheme receives a premium of Rs 10(for example) for writing this call option in favour of thebuyer.The buyer has the choice to buy the shares at Rs 160 onexpiry date (usually the last Thursday of a month). Thefollowing are examples based on price trends after onemonth:• if the stock price declines to Rs 150, the buyer of the

call option will not exercise the right to buy as the stockcan be purchased at a lower price in the spot market.The fund manager has ensured that the Rs 160prevailing at the time of selling the option is protectedthrough a combination of market price of Rs 150 andearned premium of Rs 10;

• If the stock price dips below Rs 150, the buyer will notexercise the option. The loss for the fund manager islimited to the extent to which price dips below Rs 150,as the decline from Rs 160 to Rs 150 is covered by theearned premium;

• If the stock price rises to Rs 170, the buyer of the optionwill exercise the right to buy the shares he can buy themat the strike price of Rs 160 and if he chooses to sell atthe spot of Rs 170 to make a profit of Rs 10 per share.This price trend is, however, contrary to theexpectations of the fund manager. There is no loss forthe fund manager as he has already received Rs 10 aspremium. This will ensure that his effective price inmeeting the comportment to the holder of the call optionis Rs 160 and

• If the stock price rises to more than Rs 170, the buyerwill exercise the option. The loss to the fund managerwill be limited to the extent to which the price is higherthan Rs 170, as the premium of Rs 10 will cover partiallythe higher cost of the shares that have to be purchasedto meet the commitment under the option.

Mid Cap and S & P CNX Defty.Use of derivatives to further investment objective of theScheme: Sundaram Mutual Fund may use derivatives toseek outcomes that are not possible in the cash market.For example:• A short position in index futures or futures on a particular

stock may be initiated to hedge a long position in thecash market;

• The Investment Manager can buy put options withappropriate strike price as a hedge for a decline in priceof stocks owned in the Scheme;

• Options may be sold to augment income through thepremium paid by the buyer;

• Sell puts on a stock with strike prices at levels the fundseeks to buy the stock;

• Sell calls on stocks in the portfolio of the Scheme atstrike prices that are at levels viewed as a sellingopportunity by the Investment Manager and

• If the index futures trade at a steep discount or premiumto the spot, the Scheme can take advantage of thesituation by switching out of stocks into futures or viceversa. At the expiry of the futures contract, its price willhave to converge with the spot, as the last settlementwill be with reference to the spot price. Arbitrage profit,if any, may augment NAV of the Scheme.

Use of derivatives by the Mutual Fund:Trading in derivativesThere are risks associated with use of derivatives as atrading strategy in a Scheme.Investors must read andunderstand the risks associated with use of derivatives fortrading purpose in order to appreciate the implications.Derivatives require the maintenance of adequate controlsto monitor the transactions and the embedded market risksthat a derivative adds to the portfolio. The price of theunderlying asset, the volatility, tenor and interest rates, toname a few, affect the value of a derivative contract. A fewillustrative trading strategies are outlined:Reverse Arbitrage: The endeavour of the InvestmentManager is to create reverse arbitrage positions, whichreduces the holding cost of the captioned security.Arbitrage: The endeavour of the Investment Manager is tocreate arbitrage positions, which create market neutralpositions and lead to yield enhancement for the portfolioas a whole.Covered Call Writing: The endeavour of the InvestmentManager is to write calls on already long cash equitiespositions on single stocks and/or indices as arepresentation of portfolio beta (market risk).Portfolio Hedging: The endeavour of the InvestmentManager is to use index futures for portfolio hedging toparticipate in the market (buy Index Futures) or reducemarket risk (sell Index Futures).There are risks associated with such strategies. A few ofthem are: model risk (improper pricing/mis-pricing), marketliquidity risk (derivatives cannot be sold at prices thatreflect the underlying assets, rates and indices), basis risk(lack of in-line movement with the underlying asset) andtrade execution risk (final execution price is different fromthe screen price leading to dilution in the spreads and

hence impacting the profitability of the reverse arbitragestrategy).SEBI Vide circular no DNPD/Cir-29/2005 dated 14thSeptember 2005, permitted of mutual funds to trade inderivative instruments and also enhanced the positionlimits in respect of Stock based derivatives vide its circulardated DNPF/ Cir-30/2006 dated January 20, 2006.

Illustrative list of strategies that can employ derivativesare given hereunder:

(i) Index Futures

Index Futures have been introduced by BSE and NSE.Generally three futures of 1 month 2 months and 3 monthsare presently traded on these exchanges. These futuresexpire on the last working Thursday of the respectivemonths. If the Nifty (Index) was 1875 at the beginning of amonth and the quotes for the three futures were as under:

Month Bid Price Offer Price

1 1880 1885

2 1900 1915

3 1910 1930

The Fund can buy an Index of month 1 on the last day ofthe month prior to month 1 in the illustration above at anoffer price of 1885.

Numerical example of futures tradeThe following is a hypothetical example of a typical likelyindex future trade and the associated costs.

Particulars Index Future Actual purchaseof stocks

Index at the beginning of the month 1875 1875Price of 1 Month Future 1885 -

A Execution Cost : Carry and other IndexFuture costs (1885-1875) 10 Nil

B Brokerage Cost:Assumed at 0.30% for Index Future and0.50% for spot Stocks 5.66 9.38(0.30% of 1885)(0.50% of 1875)

C Gains on Surplus Funds: 13.87 Nil(assumed 10% return on 90% of themoney left after paying 10% margin)Total Cost (A+B-C) 1.79 9.38

In this example, the Index Future trade has resulted inprofitability compared to actual purchase of the underlyingindex stocks. The profitability of Index Future as comparedto an individual security will interalia depend upon thecarrying cost, the interest available on surplus funds andthe transaction cost. There are futures based on stockindices as mentioned above as also futures based onindividual stocks.Illustrative list of strategies that can employ futuresStrategies that employ index futures and their objectives:(a) The fund has an existing equity portion invested in a

basket of stocks. In case the fund manager has a viewthat the equity markets are headed downwards, thefund can then hedge the exposure to equity either fullyor partially by initiating short futures positions in theIndex.A similar position in the long direction can also beinitiated by the fund to hedge its position of cash andpermissible equivalents. The extent to which this can bedone is determined by guidelines issued by SEBI fromtime to time.

(b)To the extent permissible by extant regulations thescheme can initiate a naked short position in anunderlying index future traded on a recognized stockexchange. In case the nifty near month future contracttrading at say, 1850, and the fund manager has a viewthat it will depreciate going forward, the fund can initiatea sale transaction of nifty futures at 1850 without holdinga portfolio of equity stocks or any other underlying longequity position. Once the price falls to 1800 after say,20 days the fund can initiate a square-up transaction bybuying the said futures and book a profit of 50.Correspondingly the fund can take a long positionwithout an underlying cash/ cash equivalent subject tothe extant regulations.

Risk associated with this strategy:1. Lack of opportunities available in the market2. Inability of the derivatives to correlate perfectly with

underlying indices3. Execution risk, whereby the rates seen on the screen

may not be the rates at which the ultimate executiontakes place.

Strategies that employ Stock specific Futures and theirobjectives:Individual stock futures are also available in the IndianEquity Markets. Stock futures trade either at a premium orat discount to the spot prices, the level of premiumgenerally reflects the cost of carry. Stock specific issuesmay have a bearing on futures as speculators may findfutures as a cost-effective way of executing their view onthe stock. However such executions usually increase thepremium/discount to the spot significantly, thereby givingrise to arbitrage opportunities for a fund.(a) Selling spot and buying future : In case the fund holds

the stock of a company at say Rs. 1000 while in thefutures market it trades at a discount to the spot pricesay at Rs. 980 then the fund may sell the stock and buythe futures. On the date of expiry of the stock future, thefund may reverse the transactions (i.e. Buying at Spot &Selling futures) and earn a risk-free Rs. 20/- (2%absolute) on its holdings. As this can be without anydilution of the view of the fund on the underlying stockthe fund can still benefit from any movement of the pricein the northward direction, i.e. if on the date of expiry ofthe futures, if the stock trades at 1100 which would bethe price of the futures too, the fund will have a benefitof Rs. 100/- whereby the fund gets the 10% upsidemovement together with the 2% benefit on the arbitrage,and thus getting a total return of 12%.

(b)Buying spot and selling future: Where the fund holdsthe stock of a company trading in the spot market at Rs1000 while it trades at Rs. 1020/- in the futures marketthen fund may buy the stock at spot and sell in thefutures market thereby earning Rs 20. In case ofadequacy of cash with the fund, this strategy may beused to enhance returns of the Scheme which wasotherwise sitting on cash.

(c) Buying stock future: Where the scheme wants toinitiate a long positon in a stock whose spot price is atsay, Rs.1000 and futures is at 980, then the fund mayjust buy the futures contract instead of the spot therebybenefiting from a lower cost option.

(d) In case the fund has a bearish view on a stock which istrading in the spot market at Rs.1000/- and the futuresmarket at say Rs.980/-. The fund can express such aview subject to extant SEBI regulations by initiating ashort postion in the futures contract. In case the view isright and the futures price depreciates to say 900/- thefund can square up the short position thereby earning aprofit of Rs. 80/- Risk associated with this strategy:• Lack of opportunities available in the market

• Inability of the derivatives to correlate perfectly withunderlying security

• Execution risk, whereby the rates seen on the screenmay not be the rates at which the ultimate executiontakes place.

(ii) Strategies that use Options and the objectives ofsuch strategies:Option contracts are of two types - Call and Put; the formerbeing the right, but not obligation, to purchase a prescribednumber of shares at a specified price before or on aspecific expiration date and the latter being the right, butnot obligation, to sell a prescribed number of shares at aspecified price before or on a specific expiration date. Theprice at which the shares are contracted to be purchasedor sold is called the strike price. Options that can beexercised on or before the expiration date are calledAmerican Options, while those that can be exercised onlyon the expiration date are called European Options. Optioncontracts are designated by the type of option, name of theunderlying, expiry month and the strike price. Thus, optionscan be used to earn less volatile returns, earn the premiumor use for hedging purposes etc.Illustrations of use of OptionsCall Option (Buy): The fund buys a call option at the strikeprice of say Rs.1000 and pays a premium of say Rs. 50,the fund would earn profits if the market price of the stockat the time of expiry of the option is more than 1050 beingthe total of the strike price and the premium thereon. If onthe date of expiry of the option the stock price is below Rs1000, the fund will not exercise the option while it loses thepremium of Rs 50.Put Option (Buy): The fund buys a Put Option at Rs 1000by paying a premium of say Rs 50. If the stock price goesdown to Rs. 900, the fund would protect its downside andwould only have to bear the premium of Rs 50 instead of aloss of Rs 100 whereas if the stock price moves up to sayRs. 1100 the fund may let the Option expire and forego thepremium thereby capturing Rs. 100 upside after bearingthe premium of Rs.50.Writing a Call Option: The fund writes a call option at Rs.1050 and earn a premium of, say, Rs. 10. If the price ishigher than Rs. 1050, say Rs.1100/- at expiry then theoption is exercised, the Fund earns the premium of Rs. 10/-but loses the difference between the market price and theexercise price i.e. Rs. 50/-. In case the stock price is lessthan Rs.1050, the fund gets to keep the premium of Rs.10/-.Writing a Put Option: The fund writes a put option with thestrike price of Rs1000 and earns a premium of say Rs 20.In case the stock trades at Rs 950 the put option will beexercised, the fund will earn the premium of Rs.20/- butlosses the difference between the exercise price and themarket price which is Rs.50/-. Where the stock trades atabove the exercise price, the option-holder will not exercisethe option and let it expire. In this case the fund will earn thepremium income of Rs. 20.The above four option positions can be initiated in both
