Section I – INTRODUCTION
A. RISK FACTORS
STANDARD RISK FACTORS
Mutual Funds and securities investments are subject to market risks and there can be no assurance or
guarantee that the objectives of the Scheme will be achieved.
Investment in Mutual Fund Units involves investment risks such as trading volumes, settlement risk, liquidity
risk, default risk including the possible loss of principal.
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 depending on the various factors and forces affecting capital
markets and money markets.
Past performance of the Sponsor / AMC / Mutual Fund does not guarantee future performance of the Scheme
and may not necessarily provide a basis of comparison with other investments.
Birla Sun Life New Millenium Fund is the name of the Scheme and does not, in any manner, indicate either
the quality of the Scheme or its future prospects and returns.
The Sponsors are not responsible or liable for any loss resulting from the operation of the Schemes beyond
the initial contribution of `1,00,000 made by it towards setting up the Fund.
The present scheme is not a guaranteed or assured return scheme.
1. Loss of Key Professionals: In technology industries the ability to recruit and retain professionals with the
necessary technical skills can be crucial to the ongoing success of the organisation. Qualified IT professionals are
a limited resource and there is a worldwide demand for professionals from the Indian sub-continent. Failure to be
able to retain key professionals can negatively impact the prospects of a company.
2. Failure to adapt business to the rapid technological change: Companies in the IT industry may be
adversely affected by rapid technological changes, product innovations and obsolescence, changing standards
and client preferences. All or one of these issues may impact the business prospects of a company.
3. Changes to Tax Benefits in India: The Government of India has given the information technology sector
favorable tax benefits. If these tax benefits are removed or amended then it is possible that the changes may have
a material adverse impact on a company’s revenue and earnings.
4. Exchange Rates: A number of companies in the technology sector generate revenue in foreign currencies and
may even have investments or expenses denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in exchange rates may
therefore have a positive or negative impact on a company’s bottom line.

Though the constituent stocks of most indexes are typically liquid, liquidity differs across stocks. Due to the
heterogeneity in liquidity in the capital market segment, trades on this segment may not get implemented
instantly.
To the extent the assets of the scheme are invested in overseas financial assets, there may be risks
associated with currency movements, restrictions on repatriation and transaction procedures in overseas
market. Further, the repatriation of capital to India may also be hampered by changes in regulations or
political circumstances as well as the application to it of other restrictions on investment. In addition, country
risks would include events such as introduction of extraordinary exchange controls, economic deterioration,
bi-lateral conflict leading to immobilisation of the overseas financial assets and the prevalent tax laws of the
respective jurisdiction for execution of trades or otherwise.
Currency Risk: The schemes may invest in securities denominated in a broad range of currencies and may
maintain cash in such currencies. As a consequence, fluctuations in the value of such currencies against the
currency denomination of the relevant scheme will have a corresponding impact on the value of the portfolio.
Furthermore, investors should be aware that movements in the rate of exchange between the currency of
denomination of a fund and their home currency will affect the value of their shareholding when measured in
their home currency.
Country Risk: The Country risk arises from the inability of a country, to meet its financial obligations. It is the
risk encompassing economic, social and political conditions in a foreign country, which might adversely affect
foreign investors' financial interests.
The Scheme(s) may also invest in Foreign Securities as permitted by Reserve Bank of India and Securities
and Exchange Board of India. To the extent that some part of the assets of the Schemes may be invested in
securities denominated in foreign currencies, the Indian Rupee equivalent of the net assets, distributions and
Page 8
Birla Sun Life New Millennium Fund
income may be adversely affected by the changes in the value of certain foreign currencies relative to the
Indian Rupee. The repatriation of capital also may be hampered by changes in regulations concerning
exchange controls or political circumstances as well as all other restrictions on investments as applicable.
Page 9
Birla Sun Life New Millennium Fund
Credit Risk: Delinquencies may happen which would reduce the principal amount. Typically MBS
structures come with credit enhancement in variety of forms. If delinquencies are higher than the amount
available in the credit enhancement facility than the monthly payouts to the fund would reduce. Historically,
it has been observed that housing loans have lower default rates as compared to other forms of credit.
Liquidity Risk: Historically the secondary market volume of securitised papers has been limited. This
could limit the ability of the fund to resell them. Secondary market trades could be at a discount or premium
depending upon the prevailing interest rates.
Conversion risk: Conversion of loans from fixed rate to floating rate loans and vice versa could lead to a
change in the expected cash flows from the loans.
Risks associated with Asset Backed Securities (ABS)-Auto Loans.
Prepayment Risk: The fund may receive payment of monthly payouts earlier than scheduled.
Prepayments shorten the life of the instrument to an extent that cannot be fully predicted. The rate of
prepayments may be influenced by a variety of economic, social and other factors. Prepayments in auto
loans is lower than housing loans as the shorter tenor of auto loans makes it economically unattractive to
prepay after considering the prepayment charges.
Credit Risk: Delinquencies may happen which would reduce the principal amount. Typically ABS
structures come with credit enhancement in variety of forms. If delinquencies are higher than the amount
available in the credit enhancement facility than the monthly payouts to the fund would reduce. Typically
auto loans carry higher risk than MBS as the value retention of the underlying asset is higher in MBS as
compared to the underlying asset of ABS.
Liquidity Risk: Historically the secondary market volume of securitised papers has been limited. This
could limit the ability of the fund to resell them. Secondary market trades could be at a discount or premium
depending upon the prevailing interest rates.
Risks associated with Asset Backed Securities (ABS) - Corporate Loans
Credit Risk: The fund has an exposure to the Borrower/Borrowers and servicing of the instrument
depends on the credit risk of the Borrower. The value of the instrument would fluctuate depending upon the
changes in the perceived level of credit risk as well as any actual default.
Prepayment Risk: The Borrower may prepay the receivables prior to their respective due dates. This may
result in a change in the yield and tenor for the fund.
Limited Liquidity and Price Risk: Historically the secondary market volume of securitised papers has been
limited. This could limit the ability of the fund to resell them. Secondary market trades could be at a discount or
premium depending upon the prevailing interest rates.
C. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Changes in Government Policy in general and changes in tax benefits applicable to mutual funds may impact
the returns to investors in the Scheme. 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 in the Scheme will endure
Page 10
Birla Sun Life New Millennium Fund
indefinitely. In view of the individual nature of tax consequences, each Unitholder is advised to consult his /
her own professional tax advisor.
The NAV of the scheme may be affected by changes in the general market conditions, factors and forces
affecting capital market in particular, level of interest rates, various market related factors, settlement periods
and transfer procedures.
A Unitholder may invest in the scheme and acquire a substantial portion of the scheme units. The repurchase
of units by the Unitholder may have an adverse impact on the units of the schemes, because the timing of
such repurchase may impact the ability of other Unit holders to repurchase their units.
Mutual Funds are vehicles of securities investments that are subject to market and other risks and there can
be no guarantee against loss resulting from investing in the Scheme. The various factors that impact the value
of the Scheme' investments include, but are not restricted to, fluctuations in the bond markets, fluctuations in
interest rates, prevailing political and economic environment, changes in government policy, factors specific to
the issuer of the securities, tax laws, liquidity of the underlying instruments, settlement periods, trading
volumes etc.
The Trustee, AMC, Mutual Fund, their directors or their employees shall not be liable for any of the tax
consequences that may arise, in the event that the Scheme is wound up for the reasons and in the manner
provided in Statement of Additional Information (SAI) / Scheme Information Document.
Redemptions due to change in the fundamental attributes of the Scheme or due to any other reasons may
entail tax consequences. The Trustees, the Mutual Fund, the AMC, their directors or their employees shall not
be liable for any tax consequences that may arise.
From time to time, funds managed by the affiliates / associates of the Sponsor may invest either directly or
indirectly in the Scheme. The funds managed by these affiliates/associates may acquire a substantial portion
of the Scheme's Units and collectively constitute a major investment in the Scheme. Accordingly, Redemption
of Units held by such funds may have an adverse impact on the value of the Units of the Scheme because of
the timing of any such Redemption and may affect the ability of other Unit Holders to redeem their respective
Units.
Execution of investment strategies depends upon the ability of the fund manager to identify such opportunities
which may not be available at all times and that the decisions made by the fund manager may not always be
profitable. Investors may note that AMC/Fund Manager's investment decisions may not always be profitable,
as actual market movements may be at variance with anticipated trends.
There is no guarantee or assurance on the frequency or quantum of dividends, which shall be subject to
availability of distributable surplus.
Growth, appreciation, dividend, bonus, income, etc if any, referred to in this Document are subject to the tax
laws and other fiscal enactments as they exist from time to time.
The Product labeling mandated by SEBI is to provide investors an easy understanding of the risk involved in
the kind of product / scheme they are investing to meet their financial goals. The Riskometer categorizes the
schemes of Fund under different levels of risk based on the respective scheme's investment objective, asset
allocation pattern, investment strategy and typical investment time horizon of investors. Therefore, the
schemes falling under the same level of risk in the Riskometer may not be similar in nature. Investors are
advised before investing to evaluate a scheme not only on the basis of the Product labeling (including the
Riskometer) but also on other quantitative and qualitative factors such as performance, portfolio, fund
managers, asset manager, etc. and shall also consult their financial advisers, if they are unsure about the
suitability of the scheme before investing.
The AMC and its Registrar reserve the right to disclose/share investors’ personal information with the
following third parties:
1. Registrar, Banks and / or authorised external third parties who are involved in transaction processing,
dispatches, etc., of investors’ investment in the Scheme;
2. Distributors or Sub-brokers through whom applications of investors are received for the Scheme; or
3. Any other organisations for compliance with any legal or regulatory requirements or to verify the identity
of investors for complying with anti-money laundering requirements.
Account statements or financial information pertaining to the investor, if it is to be sent over the internet to the
Unitholder, distributors or any other entity as indicated above, will be sent only through a secure means and /
or through encrypted electronic mail.
The Mutual Fund may disclose details of the investor’s account and transactions there under to those
intermediaries whose stamp appears on the application form. In addition, the Mutual Fund may disclose such
details to the bankers / its agents, as may be necessary for the purpose of effecting payments to the investor.
Further, the Mutual Fund may disclose details of the investor’s account and transactions thereunder to any
Regulatory/Statutory entities as per the provisions of law.
In respect of transaction in Units of the Scheme through Stock Exchange Platform for Mutual Funds, allotment
and redemption of Units on any Business Day will depend upon the order processing/ settlement by
respective stock exchanges and their respective clearing corporations on which the Fund has no control.

B. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The primary investment objective of the scheme is to generate long term growth of capital, through a portfolio with
a target allocation of 100% equity, focusing on investing in technology and technology dependent companies,
hardware, peripherals and components, software, telecom, media, internet and e-commerce and other technology
enabled companies. The secondary objective is income generation and distribution of dividend.
The Fund Manager will review the portfolio for adherence with the above asset allocation patterns and rebalance
them within 30 days to conform to the above limits.
From time to time it is possible that the portfolios may hold cash.
The Scheme may also enter into repurchase and reverse repurchase obligations in all securities held by them as
per the guidelines and regulations applicable to such transactions. The Scheme also intends to participate in
derivatives trading within the equity component of their portfolios. The scheme intends to use derivatives
instruments like options on stocks and stock indices, interest rate swaps, forward rate agreements or such other
derivative instruments as may be introduced from time to time subject to framework specified by SEBI, for the
purpose of hedging, portfolio balancing and other permitted usages as provided under the regulations and
guidelines. The value of derivative contracts outstanding will be limited to 50% of net assets of the scheme. RBI
has permitted Mutual Funds to participate in Interest Rate Swaps and Forward Rate Agreements. SEBI has also
permitted trading of interest rate derivatives through stock exchanges. The scheme may also trade in these
instruments. The Scheme intends to invest in ADR/GDR of Indian companies subject to a limit based on the net
assets of the Mutual Fund in accordance with SEBI Guidelines issued from time to time.
The Scheme also reserve the right to invest in newer investment products subject to approval of the Trustee
Company and in compliance with the applicable SEBI Regulations.
Investments may be made in listed or unlisted instruments. Listed securities may be listed on any of the
recognised Indian stock exchanges including the National Stock Exchange and the OTCEI. Investments may be
made as secondary market purchases, initial public offers, private placements, negotiated investments, rights
offers, etc. The Mutual Fund under each Scheme may invest in non-publicly offered debt securities (including
convertible securities).
The portfolio invested in each type of security will vary in accordance with economic conditions, the general level
of stock prices, interest rates and other relevant considerations, including the risks associated with each
investment. The Scheme will, in order to reduce the risks associated with any one security, utilise a variety of
investments, performance will depend on the Asset Management Company’s ability to assess accurately and
react to changing market conditions.
Not more than 5% of the net assets of each Scheme may be invested in equity and equity-related securities that
are not listed on any stock exchange (including the OTCEI). Any such investments will only be made if the Asset
Management Company believes that such securities may be listed within a two-year period. This policy, however,
is not applicable to each Scheme’s acquisition of equity and equity-related securities in initial public offerings that
at the time of acquisition are not yet either listed or quoted on any stock exchange, but pursuant to the terms of
such initial public offering will be so listed. The Mutual Fund under each Scheme, will not invest more than 10% of
Page 17
Birla Sun Life New Millennium Fund
its net assets in the debt (including non publicly offered debt securities) and money market securities of any one
issuer excluding call money.
Upto 5% of the net assets of each scheme may be invested in unlisted equity and equity-related securities as
stated in the previous paragraph. Further, since a significant section of the debt market consists of non- publicly
offered debt securities, each Scheme could invest upto 20% of its net assets (i.e. its entire allocation to debt and
money market securities) in non-publicly offered debt securities.
In accordance with the proviso to clause 10 of the Schedule VII to SEBI Regulations, the scrip wise limit of 10% is
not applicable for investments in case of sector specific schemes. The upper ceiling on investments in case of the
schemes shall be the weightage of the scrip in respective benchmark index (for BSLNMF: BSE Teck and
BSLBYIF: BSE 200) or 10% of the NAV of the scheme whichever is higher.
Notwithstanding the foregoing investment policies for the scheme, for temporary defensive purposes (e.g., during
periods in which the Asset Management Company believes changes in the securities market or economic or other
conditions warrant), the scheme may invest in Indian Government T-Bills and hold cash or cash equivalents and
other money market instruments. The Trustee of the Mutual Fund may from time to time alter these limitations in
conformity with the SEBI (MF) Regulations, 1996 and other guidelines or notifications that may be issued by SEBI.
D. INVESTMENT BY SCHEME
Subject to the SEBI (MF) Regulations, the corpus of the Scheme can be invested in any (but not exclusively) of
the following securities:
1. Securities created and issued by Governments of India and/or reverse repos in such Government Securities /
Treasury Bills as may be permitted by RBI.
2. Securities guaranteed by the Central and State Governments (including but not limited to coupon bearing
bonds, zero coupon bonds and treasury bills).
3. Fixed Income Securities of domestic Government agencies and statutory bodies, which may or may not carry
a Central/State Government guarantee.
4. Corporate debt and securities (of both public and private sector undertakings) including Bonds, Debentures,
Notes, Strips etc.
5. Money market instruments includes commercial papers, commercial bills, treasury bills, Government

Collateralized Borrowing and Lending Obligations (CBLOs) and any other like instruments as specified by the
Reserve Bank of India from time to time
6. Certificate of Deposits (CDs).
7. Commercial Paper (CPs).
8. Securitised Debt Obligations.
9. The non-convertible part of convertible securities.
10. Any other domestic fixed income securities as may be permitted by RBI/SEBI from time to time.
11. Pass through, Pay through or other Participation Certificates, representing interest in a pool assets including
receivables.
Page 18
Birla Sun Life New Millennium Fund
12. Equity and Equity related instruments, including convertible bonds and debentures and warrants carrying the
right to obtain equity shares.
13. Derivative instruments like Fixed Income Derivative instruments like Interest Rate Swaps, Forward Rate
Agreements Stock Options, Index Options and such other derivative instruments as permitted by SEBI/RBI.
The securities mentioned above could be listed or unlisted, secured or unsecured, and of varying maturity, as
enabled under SEBI (MF) Regulations/circulars/ RBI. The securities may be acquired through Initial Public
Offerings (IPOs), secondary market operations, private placement, rights offers or negotiated deals.
2. Policy relating to originators based on nature of originator, track record, NPAs, losses in earlier
securitized debt, etc
A securitization transaction involves sale of receivables by the originator (a bank, non-banking finance company,
housing finance company, or a manufacturing/service company) to a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), typically set
up in the form of a trust. Investors are issued rated Pass Through Certificates (PTCs), the proceeds of which are
paid as consideration to the originator. In this manner, the originator, by selling his loan receivables to an SPV,
receives consideration from investors much before the maturity of the underlying loans. Investors are paid from
the collections of the underlying loans from borrowers. Typically, the transaction is provided with a limited amount
of credit enhancement (as stipulated by the rating agency for a target rating), which provides protection to
investors against defaults by the underlying borrowers.
The scheme will invest in instruments of the originator only if the originator has an investment grade rating. Over
and above the credit rating assigned by credit rating agencies to the originator, BSLMF will conduct an additional
evaluation on
Previous track record on origination, servicing and performance of existing pools
Willingness to pay, through credit enhancement facilities etc.
Ability to pay
Business risk assessment, wherein following factors are considered:
- Outlook for the economy (domestic and global)
- Outlook for the industry
- Originator/Pool specific factors
In addition a detailed review and assessment of rating rationale is done including interactions with the company as
well as agency. For single loan PTC, credit evaluation of the underlying corporate will be carried out as with any
other debt instruments.
Limited Recourse and Credit Risk: Certificates issued on investment in securitized debt represent a beneficial
interest in the underlying receivables and there is no obligation on the issuer, seller or the originator in that regard.
Page 19
Birla Sun Life New Millennium Fund
Defaults on the underlying loan can adversely affect the pay outs to the investors (i.e. the Scheme) and thereby,
adversely affect the NAV of the Scheme.
Risk Mitigation: In addition to careful scrutiny of credit profile of borrower/pool additional security in the form of
adequate cash collaterals and other securities may be obtained to ensure that they all qualify for similar rating.
Bankruptcy Risk: If the originator of securitized debt instruments in which the Scheme invests is subject to
bankruptcy proceedings and the court in such proceedings concludes that the sale of the assets from originator to
the trust was not a 'true sale', and then the Scheme could experience losses or delays in the payments due.
Risk Mitigation: Normally, specific care is taken in structuring the securitization transaction so as to minimize the
risk of the sale to the trust not being construed as a 'true sale'. It is also in the interest of the originator to
demonstrate the transaction as a true sell to get the necessary revenue recognition and tax benefits.
4. The level of diversification with respect to the underlying assets, and risk mitigation measures for less
diversified investments
Framework that will be applied while evaluating investment decision relating to a pool securitization transaction:
Characteristics / Type of Pool Mortgage Commercial Car Two Micro Personal Single Others
Loan/ Loan Vehicle & Wheeler Finance Loans Sell

Information illustrated in the Table above, is based on the current scenario relating to Securitized Debt market and is subject to
change depending upon the change in the related factors.
Page 20
Birla Sun Life New Millennium Fund
We endeavor to consider some of the important risk mitigating factors for securitized pool i.e.
Average maturity of the pool: based on different asset classes and current market practices
Collateral margin including cash collateral and other credit enhancements
Loan to Value Ratio
Average seasoning of the pool,
Default rate distribution
Geographical Distribution
Maximum single exposure: Retail pools (passenger cars, 2-wheelers, Micro finance, personal loans, etc)
are generally well diversified with maximum and average single exposure limits within 1%.
As illustrated above, these factors vary for different asset classes and would be based on interactions with each
originator as well as the credit rating agency.
5. Minimum retention period of the debt by originator prior to securitization
The Mutual Fund will follow the guidelines on minimum holding period requirements as laid down by SEBI and
RBI from time to time.
7. The mechanism to tackle conflict of interest when the mutual fund invests in securitized debt of an
originator and the originator in turn makes investments in that particular scheme of the fund
Investments made by the scheme in any asset are done based on the requirements of the scheme and is in
accordance with the investment policy. All Investments are made entirely at an arm’s length basis with no
consideration of any existing / consequent investments by any party related to the transaction (originator, issuer,
borrower etc.). Investments made in Securitized debt are made as per the Investment pattern of the Scheme and
are done after detailed analysis of the underlying asset. There might be instances of Originator /obligor investing
in the same scheme but both the transactions are at arm’s length and avoid any conflict of interest. In addition to
internal controls in the fixed income investment process, there is regular monitoring by the compliance team, risk
management group, and internal review teams. Normally the issuer who is securitizing instrument is in need of
money and is unlikely to have long term surplus to invest in mutual fund scheme.
8. In general, the resources and mechanism of individual risk assessment with the AMC for monitoring
investment in securitized debt
The risk assessment process for securitized debt, as detailed in the preceding paragraphs, is same as any other
credit. The investments in securitized debt are done after appropriate research by credit analyst. The ratings are
monitored for any movement. The entire securitized portfolio is published in the fact sheet and disclosed in the
web site for public consumption with details of underlying exposure and originator.
Trading in Derivatives
SEBI has permitted Mutual Funds to participate in derivatives trading subject to observance of guidelines issued
by it in this behalf. Accordingly, Mutual Funds may use various derivative products from time to time, as would be
available and permitted by SEBI, in an attempt to protect the value of the portfolio and enhance Unitholders'
interest.
The scheme intends to use derivatives instruments like interest rate swaps, forward rate agreements or such
other derivative instruments as may be introduced from time to time for the purpose of hedging, portfolio balancing
as may be permitted under SEBI (MF) Regulations.
The scheme intends to use derivative instruments stock options, stock futures, index options, index futures or
other equity derivative instruments as may be introduced from time to time.
RBI has permitted Mutual Funds to participate in Interest Rate Swaps and Forward Rate Agreements. SEBI has
also permitted trading of interest rate derivatives through stock exchanges. The Scheme may also trade in these
instruments.
The Mutual Fund would comply with the provisions of SEBI Circular no. MFD / CIR No 03 / 158/03 dated June 10,
2003 and SEBI circular Ref. No. Cir/IMD/DF/11/ 2010 dated August 18, 2010 and such other amendments issued
by SEBI from time to time while trading in derivatives.
The Mutual Fund would comply with the provisions of SEBI Circular Ref. No. DNPD/Cir-29/2005 dated September
14, 2005 and SEBI circular Ref. No. Cir/IMD/DF/11/ 2010 dated August 18, 2010 and such other amendments
issued by SEBI from time to time while trading in derivatives.
Presently, the position limits for trading in derivatives by Mutual Fund specified by SEBI vide its circular Ref. No.
DNPD/Cir-29/2005 dated September 14, 2005, circular Ref. No. DNPD/Cir-30/2006, dated January 20, 2006,
September 22, 2006 and circular SEBI/HO/MRD/DP/CIR/P/2016/143 dated December 27, 2016 are as follows:
Page 21
Birla Sun Life New Millennium Fund
Position Limits
The position limits for Mutual Funds and its schemes shall be under:
(i) Position limit for Mutual Funds in index options contracts
(a) The Mutual Fund position limit in all index options contracts on a particular underlying index shall be Rs
500 crore or 15% of the total open interest of the market in index options, whichever is higher, per Stock
Exchange.
(b) This limit would be applicable on open positions in all options contracts on a particular underlying index.
(ii) Position limit for Mutual Funds in index futures contracts
(a) The Mutual Fund position limit in all index futures contracts on a particular underlying index shall be Rs
500 crore or 15% of the total open interest of the market in index futures, whichever is higher, per Stock
Exchange.
(b) This limit would be applicable on open positions in all futures contracts on a particular underlying index.
(iv) Position limit for Mutual Funds for stock based derivative contracts
(a) The combined futures and options position limit shall be 20% of the applicable Market Wide Position Limit
(MWPL).
(b) The MWPL and client level position limits however would remain the same as prescribed.
Exposure to Derivatives
Further, the exposure limits for trading in derivatives by Mutual Fund specified by SEBI vide its circular Ref. No.
Cir/IMD/DF/11/2010 dated August 18, 2010, is as follows:
1. The cumulative gross exposure through equity, debt and derivative positions should not exceed 100% of the
net assets of the scheme.
2. Mutual Funds shall not write options or purchase instruments with embedded written options.
3. The total exposure related to option premium paid must not exceed 20% of the net assets of the scheme.
4. Cash or cash equivalents with residual maturity of less than 91 days may be treated as not creating any
exposure.
5. Exposure due to hedging positions may not be included in the above mentioned limits subject to the following
Hedging positions are the derivative positions that reduce possible losses on an existing position in
securities and till the existing position remains.
Hedging positions cannot be taken for existing derivative positions. Exposure due to such positions shall
have to be added and treated under limits mentioned in Point 1
Any derivative instrument used to hedge has the same underlying security as the existing position being
hedged.
The quantity of underlying associated with the derivative position taken for hedging purposes does not
exceed the quantity of the existing position against which hedge has been taken.
6. Mutual Funds may enter into plain vanilla interest rate swaps for hedging purposes. The counter party in such
transactions has to be an entity recognized as a market maker by RBI. Further, the value of the notional
principal in such cases must not exceed the value of respective existing assets being hedged by the scheme.
Exposure to a single counterparty in such transactions should not exceed 10% of the net assets of the
scheme.
Page 22
Birla Sun Life New Millennium Fund
7. Exposure due to derivative positions taken for hedging purposes in excess of the underlying position against
which the hedging position has been taken, shall be treated under the limits mentioned in point (1) above.
8. Definition of Exposure in case of derivatives positions
Each position taken in derivatives shall have an associated exposure as defined under. Exposure is the
maximum possible loss that may occur on a position. However, certain derivative positions may theoretically
have unlimited possible loss. Exposure in derivative positions shall be computed as follows:
Position Exposure
Long Future Futures Price * Lot Size * Number of Contracts
Short Future Futures Price * Lot Size * Number of Contracts
Option bought Option Premium Paid * Lot Size * Number of Contracts.
A is entitled to receive interest on ` 10 crore at 7% for 184 days i.e. ` 35.28 lakh, (this amount is known at the
time the swap was concluded) and will pay the compounded benchmark rate.
B is entitled to receive daily compounded call rate for 184 days & pay 7% fixed.
On September 1st, if the total interest on the daily overnight compounded benchmark rate is higher than ` 35.28
lakhs, A will pay B the difference.If the daily compounded benchmark rate is lower, then B will pay A the
difference.
Effectively Bank A earns interest at the rate of 7% p.a. for six months without lending money for 6 months fixed,
while Bank B pays interest @ 7% p.a. for 6 months on ` 10 crore, without borrowing for 6 months fixed. As per
abovesaid RBI circulars, mutual funds are permitted to do Interest Rate Swaps/Forward Rate Agreements, for
hedging purposes only. Accordingly, the AMC would undertake the same for similar purposes only. IRS and FRAs
do also have inherent credit and settlement risks. However, these risks are substantially reduced as they are
limited to the interest streams and not the notional principal amounts.
Derivatives can be traded over the exchange or can be structured between two counter-parties. Those transacted
over the exchange are called Exchange Traded derivatives whereas the other category is referred to as OTC
(Over the Counter) derivatives. Some of the differences of these two derivative categories are as under:
Exchange traded derivatives:These are quoted on the exchanges like any other traded asset class. The most
common amongst these are the Index Futures, Index Options, Stock Futures and Options on individual equities /
Page 23
Birla Sun Life New Millennium Fund
securities. The basic form of the futures contract is similar to that of the forward contract, a futures contract
obligates its owner to purchase a specified asset at a specified exercise price on the contract maturity date.
Futures are cash-settled and are traded only in organised exchanges. Exchange traded derivatives are
standardised in terms of amount and delivery date. Standardisation and transparency generally ensures a liquid
market together with narrower spreads. On the other hand, for delivery dates far in the future, there may be
insufficient liquidity in the futures market whereas an OTC price may be available.
OTC derivatives:OTC derivatives require the two parties engaging in a derivatives transaction to come together
through a process of negotiation. It is a derivative that is customised in terms of structure, amount, tenor,
underlying assets, collateral etc.
The Scheme may use derivatives instruments such as Stock Index Futures, Options on indices or such other
derivative instruments as may be introduced / permitted, from time to time. To illustrate, an example of a Stock
Index Future is given below:
Index Futures
Benefits
Investment in stock index futures can give exposure to the index without directly buying the individual stocks.
Appreciation in index stocks can be effectively captured through investment in Stock Index Futures.
The Fund can sell futures to hedge against market movements effectively without actually selling the stocks it
holds.
The stock index futures are instruments designed to give exposure to the equity market indices. The Stock
Exchange, Mumbai and the National Stock Exchange have started trading in index futures of 1, 2 and 3 month
maturities. The pricing of an index future is the function of the underlying index and interest rates.
Illustration
Spot Index: 1070
1 month Nifty Future Price on day 1: 1075
Fund buys 100 lots
Each lot has a nominal value equivalent to 200 Units of the underlying index
Situation 1
Let us say that on the date of settlement, the future price = closing spot price = 1085
Profits for the Fund = (1085-1075) x 100 lots x 200 = ` 200,000
Situation 2
Let us say that on the date of settlement, the future price = Closing spot price = 1070
Loss for the Fund = (1070-1075) x 100 lots x 200 = (` 100,000)
The net impact for the Fund will be in terms of the difference between the closing price of the index and cost price
(ignoring margins for the sake of simplicity). Thus, it is clear from the example that the profit or loss for the Fund
will be the difference of the closing price (which can be higher or lower than the purchase price) and the purchase
price. The risks associated with index futures are similar to the one with equity investments. Additional risks could
be on account of illiquidity and hence mispricing of the future at the time of purchase.
Buying Options
Buying a call option on a stock or index gives the owner the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying
stock / index at the designated strike price. Here the downside risks are limited to the premium paid to purchase
the option.
Illustration
If the Fund buys a 1 month call option on Hindustan Lever at a strike of` 190, the current market price being say `
191. The Fund will have to pay a premium of say ` 15 to buy this call. If the stock price goes below ` 190 during
the tenure of the call, the Fund avoids the loss it would have incurred had it straightaway bought the stock instead
of the call option. The Fund gives up the premium of ` 15 that has to be paid in order to protect the Fund from this
probable downside. If the stock goes above ` 190, it can exercise its right and own Hindustan Lever at a cost
price of ` 190, thereby participating in the upside of the stock.
Page 24
Birla Sun Life New Millennium Fund
Buying a put option on a stock originally held by the buyer gives him / her the right, but not the obligation, to sell
the underlying stock at the designated strike price. Here the downside risks are limited to the premium paid to
purchase the option.
Illustration
If the Fund owns Hindustan Lever and also buys a three-month put option on Hindustan Lever at a strike of ` 190,
the current market price being say ` 191. The Fund will have to pay a premium of say ` 12 to buy this put.
If the stock price goes below ` 190 during the tenure of the put, the Fund can still exercise the put and sell the
stock at ` 190, avoiding therefore any downside on the stock below ` 190. The Fund gives up the fixed premium
of ` 12 that has to be paid in order to protect the Fund from this robable downside. If the stock goes above ` 190,
say to ` 220, it will not exercise its option.
The Fund will participate in the upside of the stock, since it can now sell the stock at the prevailing market price of
` 220.
The Scheme intends to participate in derivatives trading within the equity component of their portfolios. Some of the
strategies involving derivatives that may be used by the Investment Manager, with an aim to protect capital and
enhance returns include:
Strategy Number 1: Hedging against an anticipated rise in equity prices. The scheme has a corpus of ` 100 crores
and has invested ` 65 crores in equity and still has a cash of ` 15 crores available to invest in the equity component.
The Fund may buy index futures of a value of ` 15 crores. The scheme may reduce the exposure to the future contract
by taking an offsetting position as investments are made in the equities the scheme wants to invest in. Here, if the
market rises, the scheme gains by having invested in the index futures.
Strategy Number 2 Hedging against anticipated fall in equity prices. If the Fund has a negative view on the
market and would not like to sell stocks, as the market might be weak, the scheme of the Fund can go short on
index/stock futures. Later, the scheme can sell the stocks and unwind the future positions. A short position in the
future would offset the long position in the underlying stocks and this can curtail potential loss in the portfolio.
For instance: The scheme has a corpus of `100 crores and is 65% invested in equities. If the fund manager
wishes to reduce the equity exposure to ` 30 crores, he would sell index/stock future contracts of ` 35 crores.
Strategy Number 3: Using Index Futures to increase percentage investment in equities. This strategy will be used
for the purpose of generating returns on idle cash, pending its investment in equities. The Scheme being open
ended in nature upon conversion and maybe subject to daily inflows. There may be a time lag between the inflow of
funds and their deployment in equities. If so desired, the AMC would be able to take immediate exposure to equities
via index futures. The position in index futures may be reversed in a phased manner, as the funds are deployed in
the equity markets.
The scheme has a corpus of ` 75 crore and there is an inflow of ` 5 crore in a day. The AMC may buy index
futures contracts of a value of ` 5 crore. Later as the money is deployed in the underlying equities, the value of the
index futures contracts can be suitably reduced.
Page 25
Birla Sun Life New Millennium Fund
Example:
Assume a scheme has an equity exposure of ` 50 crore. If the Fund Manager wishes to reduce the equity exposure to
` 40 crore in a short time, he would sell index futures contracts of a value of ` 10 crore.

RISKS
The strategy of taking a short position in index futures reduces the market exposure. The short position is
negatively correlated with the market. However, there is no assurance that the stocks in the portfolio and the
index behave in the same manner and thus this strategy may not be a perfect hedge.
The short position will have as much loss as a gain in the underlying index. e.g. if the index appreciates by 10%,
the future value falls by 10%. However, this is true only for futures contracts held till maturity. In the event that a
futures contract is closed out before its expiry, the quoted price of the futures contract may be different from the
gain / loss due to the movement of the underlying index. This is called the basis risk.
While futures markets are typically more liquid than the underlying cash market, there can be no assurance that
ready liquidity would exist at all points in time, for the Scheme to purchase or close out a specific futures
contract.
Page 26
Birla Sun Life New Millennium Fund
Example:
Let us assume a scheme with a corpus of ` 75 crore. Let us also assume an index level of 1000. The scheme is
invested 50 crore in equities. The scheme purchases a put option on the index with a strike price of `950 for an
assumed cost of ` 50 lakhs.
RISKS
The table shows that the portfolio value will not fall below ` 47 crore, while the scheme benefits from any
increase in stock prices. The table assumes perfect correlation between the equity portfolio and the index.
However, this may not be the case. Therefore, the minimum portfolio value cannot be assured, but the loss is
expected to be lower in a portfolio with a put option on the index, as compared to a normal portfolio.
The put option would lead to a gain based on the difference between the strike price and the index level at
expiration date, if positive. However, in case the option is reversed before the expiration date, the market price
received on the sale of the option may be different from the price calculated.
While options markets can be more liquid than the underlying cash market, there can be no assurance that
ready liquidity would exist at all points in time, for the scheme to purchase or close out a specific options
contract.
In the case of purchase of a stock put, the strategy is a perfect hedge on the expiration date of the put option.
On other days, there may be (temporary) imperfect correlation between the share price and the put option,
which can potentially take the stock value below the minimum under the hedge.
The fund will seek to generate alpha by superior stock selection and removing market risks by selling appropriate
index. For example, one can seek to generate positive alpha by buying an IT stock and selling CNX IT Index
future or a bank stock and selling Bank Index futures or buying a stock and selling the Nifty Index. The objective of
the strategy is to generate alpha by superior stock selection and removing market risks by hedging with
appropriate index.
For instance: The scheme has a corpus of `100 crores and is 65% invested in equities. Of the equity component,
the fund manager has 5% exposure to. The scheme takes an offsetting position by making investments CNX IT index
future. Here, the different market scenarios are illustrated in the table below:-
Event Gain/(Loss) from Gain/(Loss) from Cash Absolute
Derivatives position Market position Gain

Page 28
Birla Sun Life New Millennium Fund
The scheme has no explicit constraints either to maintain or limit the portfolio turnover. Portfolio turnover will
depend upon the circumstances prevalent at any time and would also depend on the extent of volatility in the

turnover rate.

held for the longest period of time will be redeemed/switched-out first i.e. on a First-in-First-Out
basis.

redemption / Switch request pertains to the Direct Plan, the same must clearly be mentioned
on the request (along with the folio number), failing which the request would be processed from
the Regular Plan. However, where Units under the requested Option are held only under one
Plan, the request would be processed under such Plan.
The Redemption would be permitted to the extent of clear credit balance in the Unit holder's
account. The Redemption request can be made by specifying the rupee amount or by
specifying the number of Units to be redeemed. If a Redemption request is for both, a specified
rupee amount and a specified number of Units, the specified number of Units will be
considered the definitive request. If only the Redemption amount is specified by the Unit
holder, the AMC will divide the Redemption amount so specified by the Redemption Price to
arrive at the number of Units. The request for Redemption of Units could also be in fractions,
upto three decimal places. However, in case of units held in electronic (demat) mode, the
redemption request can be given only in number of Units. Also Switch transactions are
currently not available in case of units held in electronic (demat) mode. The minimum amount
of Redemption may be changed in future by the AMC. If the balance in the account of the Unit
holder does not cover the amount. Redemption request, then the Mutual Fund is authorised to

specified as "Joint", Redemption requests will have to be signed by all the joint holders.
However, in cases of holding specified as 'Anyone or Survivor', any of the Unit holders will
have the power to make Redemption request, without it being necessary for all the Unit holders
to sign. However, in all cases, the Redemption proceeds will be paid only to the first named
holder.
AMC will endeavor to credit the redemptions payouts directly to the designated Bank A/c of the

all folios where the required information is available. AMC/Mutual Fund, however, reserves the
right to issue a cheque / demand draft inspite of an investor opting for Electronic Payout.
