Portfolio rebalancing under defensive consideration


As per para 3.6.7.1 of SEBI Master Circular no. SEBI/HO/IMD/IMD-PoD-1/P/CIR/2024/90 dated June 27,
2024, the asset allocation pattern indicated above may change for a short term period on defensive
considerations, keeping in view market conditions, market opportunities, applicable regulations and
political and economic factors. These proportions may vary depending upon the perception of the Fund
Manager, the intention being at all times to seek to protect the interests of the Unit holders. Such changes
in the investment pattern will be rebalanced within 7 calendar days from the date of deviation and further
action may be taken as specified under SEBI Circulars/ AMFI guidelines issued from time to time.

B. WHERE WILL THE SCHEME INVEST?

The Scheme may invest its funds in the following securities:

• Equity and equity related instruments including equity and index derivatives.
• Money market instruments permitted by SEBI/RBI, having maturities of up to one year or in
alternative investment for the call money market as may be provided by the RBI to meet the
liquidity requirements.
• Units of Liquid Schemes
• Certificate of Deposits (CDs), Commercial Paper (CPs).
• Securities created and issued by the Central and State Governments and/or repos/reverse repos
in such Government Securities as may be permitted by RBI (including but not limited to coupon
bearing bonds, zero coupon bonds and treasury bills).
• Securities guaranteed by the Central and State Governments (including but not limited to coupon
bearing bonds, zero coupon bonds and treasury bills).
• Any other domestic fixed income securities as permitted by SEBI/ RBI from time to time (subject
to the required approval if any)
• Tri-Party Repo or repo or any alternative investment as may be provided by RBI.
Any other instruments / securities, which in the opinion of the fund manager would suit the investment
objective of the Scheme subject to compliance with extant Regulations.

Tracking Error

Tracking error is defined as the standard deviation of the difference between the daily returns of the
Underlying index and NAV of the Scheme. The Scheme
benchmark index for the following reasons:

1. Fees & expenditure incurred by the Scheme.


2. Cash held by the Scheme due to subscriptions or to meet redemptions, expenses etc.
3. Corporate Actions
4. Halting of trading in underlying securities by exchange
5. Methodology of calculation of settlement price of the index. The benchmark or underlying index
reflects the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of securities in the last half hour. However the
Scheme may buy and sell at different points in time during the trading session at the then prevailing
prices which may not correspond to the closing prices on the exchange.
6. Inability to acquire the securities due to various reasons like circuit filters, lack of liquidity etc.
7. Delay in replicating the portfolio during times of high volatility and reconstitution/rebalancing of
index.
8. Rounding off securities for buying or selling as compared to the underlying index.
The AMC and fund manager would monitor the tracking error of the Scheme on an ongoing basis and
would seek to keep tracking error as low as possible. Under normal circumstances and as per SEBI
regulation, it would not cross 2% per annum. However, in case of various market events beyond the control
of AMC or fund manager like dividend issuance by constituent members, rights issuance by constituent
members, market volatility during reconstitution and rebalancing of portfolio and any abnormal
circumstances, tracking error may exceed the prescribed limits. In case of unavoidable circumstances in

Baroda BNP Paribas Nifty Midcap 150 Index Fund 14


SCHEME INFORMATION DOCUMENT

the nature of force majeure, which are beyond the control of the AMCs, the tracking error may exceed 2%
and the same shall be brought to the notice of Trustees with corrective actions taken by the AMC, if any.
There can be no assurance or guarantee that the Scheme will achieve any particular level of tracking error
relative to performance of the Underlying Index

Disclosure of Tracking Error & Tracking Difference:

The Scheme will disclose the tracking error based on past one year rolling data, on a daily basis, on the
website of AMC and AMFI. In case the Scheme has been in existence for a period of less than one year, the
annualized standard deviation shall be calculated based on available data.

Tracking Difference is the annualized difference of daily returns between the index and NAV of the Scheme.
It shall be disclosed on a monthly basis on website of AMC and AMFI for tenures 1 year, 3 years, 5 years,
10 years and since the date of allotment of units.

C. WHAT ARE THE INVESTMENT STRATEGIES?

The Scheme is an Index Fund tracking the Nifty Midcap 150 Total Returns Index. The Scheme will be
passively managed employing an investment strategy that seeks to track/replicate the performance of the
underlying index, subject to tracking error. The Scheme seeks to achieve this goal by investing in the
securities constituting the Nifty Midcap 150 Total Returns Index in the same proportion as in the Index.

The Scheme may take exposure to derivative instruments on underlying index (stock/ index futures) up to
20% of the Net Assets. Derivatives shall mean derivatives instruments as permitted by SEBI, including
derivative exposure in accordance with SEBI Master Circular dated June 27, 2024 and such other
amendments issued by SEBI from time to time and such other amendments issued by SEBI from time to
time. The Scheme may take an exposure to equity derivatives of constituents of the underlying Basket when
securities of the Basket are unavailable, insufficient or for rebalancing at the time of change in Basket or in
case of corporate actions, for a short period of time, subject to derivative limits. Such exposure to derivatives
will be rebalanced within seven calendar days. The Scheme may use derivative instruments such as stock
futures and options contracts, swap agreements or any other derivative instruments that are permissible
or may be permissible in future under applicable regulations and such investments shall be in accordance
with the investment objective of the Scheme. Derivative limit is subject to limit of 20% of net assets.

Portfolio turnover
Portfolio turnover is defined as lesser of purchases and sales as a percentage of the average corpus of the
Scheme during a specified period of time. Portfolio turnover would depend upon the market conditions
such as volatility of the market and inflows/outflows in the Scheme. The Scheme is an open ended Scheme
with subscriptions and redemptions expected on a daily basis. Hence, it will be difficult to estimate the
portfolio turnover with any reasonable amount of accuracy.

RISK CONTROL STRATEGIES


The Scheme aims to track Nifty Midcap 150 Index as closely as possible before expenses. The index is
tracked on a regular basis and changes to the constituents or their weights, if any, are replicated in the
underlying portfolio with the purpose of minimizing tracking error. Investments in equity, debt and money
market securities carry various risks such as inability to sell securities, trading volumes and settlement
periods, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, default risk, reinvestment risk etc. Whilst such risks cannot be
eliminated, they may be mitigated by diversification. In order to mitigate the various risks, the portfolio of
the Scheme will be constructed in accordance with the investment restriction specified under the
Regulations which would help in mitigating certain risks relating to investments in securities market.

Further, the AMC has necessary framework in place for risk mitigation at an enterprise level. The Risk
Management division is an independent division within the organization. Internal limits are defined and
judiciously monitored. Risk indicators on various parameters are computed and are monitored on a regular
basis. There is a Board level Committee, the Risk Management Committee of the Board, which enables a
dedicated focus on risk factors and the relevant risk mitigants.

Baroda BNP Paribas Nifty Midcap 150 Index Fund 15


SCHEME INFORMATION DOCUMENT

For risk control, the following may be noted:

Liquidity Risks: Stocks in the underlying index are selected by applying liquidity as one of the criterions
and hence the portfolio of Nifty Midcap 150 Index is reasonably liquid. The index is rebalanced based on
certain criteria after which certain illiquid stocks are replaced by more liquid stocks. The fund manager
makes the changes to the portfolio accordingly. Therefore, liquidity issues in the Scheme are not
envisaged.
Volatility risks: There is the risk of volatility in markets due to external factors like liquidity flows, changes
in the business environment, economic policy etc. The Scheme will manage volatility risk through
diversification.
Interest Rate Risk: Changes in interest rates affect the prices of bonds as well as equities. If interest rates
rise the prices of bonds fall and vice versa. Equity might be negatively affected as well in a rising interest
rate environment. A well-diversified portfolio may help to mitigate this risk.

D. HOW WILL THE SCHEME BENCHMARK ITS PERFORMANCE?

The performance of the Scheme will be benchmarked to the performance of NIFTY Midcap 150 Total
Return Index. The portfolio of the Scheme would endeavour to replicate / track the index.

The Scheme seeks to track/replicate the performance of the Nifty Midcap 150 Total Returns Index by
investing in the constituents of the said index. Therefore, the composition of this index makes it most
suited to compare the performance of the Scheme.

Pursuant to Para 1.9 of SEBI Master circular No. SEBI/HO/IMD/IMD-PoD-1/P/CIR/2024/90 dated June 27,
2024, uniform structure for benchmarking of Schemes has been prescribed by SEBI. These uniform
benchmarking of Schemes indices are termed as first tier benchmark which reflects the category of the
Scheme. The index is computed using the total return methodology including price return and coupon
return.

Further, pursuant to SEBI circular on Benchmark, Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI), in
consultation with AMFI Valuation Committee, has published the list of benchmark as 1st tier benchmarks
for mutual fund Schemes and the same is also made available on its website
https://www.amfiindia.com/research-information/other-data and

An Illustration of impact of expense ratio on Scheme

If an investor A invests in a regular plan of a Scheme with an expense of 1% p.a. and an investor B invests
in Direct Plan of the same Scheme with an expense of 0.65% p.a. Assuming the gross return of this fund is
10% for that given year, investor A will make a return of 9% (post expense) for that year, whereas investor
B will make 9.35% return for same period.

Also, please take a look at below illustration which shows impact of different expense ratio assumed on
initial investment of Rs. 10,000 invested over period of 10 years with an average annualized gain of 15%

Section II

I. Introduction

A. Definitions/interpretation

For detailed description please refer https://www.barodabnpparibasmf.in/assets/pdf/Definitions.pdf

B. Risk factors

SCHEME SPECIFIC RISK FACTORS:

The Scheme tracks a benchmark index which consists of Mid Cap stocks. The Scheme being passively
managed invests in stocks of the underlying index and will therefore be subject to the risks associated
with concentration of investments in a particular company/sector.

Midcap stocks can be riskier and more volatile on a relative basis. Therefore, the risk levels of investing
in midcap stocks are relatively more than investing in stocks of large companies. Over time the category
has demonstrated different levels of volatility and investment returns. Historically these companies have
been more volatile in price than large company securities, especially over the short term.

Right to Limit Redemptions: The Trustee, in the general interest of the Unit holders of the Scheme offered
in this Document and keeping in view the unforeseen circumstances / unusual market conditions, may
limit the total number of Units which can be redeemed on any Business Day. The same shall be in
accordance with para 1.12 of SEBI Master circular dated June 27, 2024.

Risks associated with investing in Equities:

 Trading volumes, settlement periods and transfer procedures may restrict the liquidity of these
investments. Different segments of the Indian financial markets have different settlement periods,
and such periods may be extended significantly by unforeseen circumstances. The inability of the
Schemes to make intended securities purchases due to settlement problems could cause the
Schemes to miss certain investment opportunities.

 The value of the Scheme


markets, such as price and volume volatility in the capital markets, interest rates, currency exchange
rates, changes in policies of the Government, taxation laws or any other appropriate authority policies
and other political and economic developments which may have an adverse bearing on individual
securities, a specific sector or all sectors including equity and debt markets. Consequently, the NAV
of the Units of the Schemes may fluctuate and can go up or down.

 The Mutual Fund may not be able to sell securities, which can lead to temporary illiquidity. There
are risks inherent in securities lending, including the risk of failure of the other party, in this case the
approved intermediary to comply with the terms of the agreement. Such failure can result in a
possible loss of rights to be collateral, the inability of the approved intermediary to return the
securities deposited by the lender and the possible loss of corporate benefits accruing thereon.

 While securities that are listed on the stock exchange carry lower liquidity risk, the ability to sell
these investments is limited by the overall trading volume on the stock exchanges. The liquidity of
the Scheme
invests.

 Fund manager endeavours to generate returns based on certain past statistical trend. The
performance of the Schemes may get affected if there is a change in the said trend. There can be no
assurance that such historical trends will continue.

 The Schemes are also vulnerable to movements in the prices of securities invested by the Schemes
which again could have a material bearing on the overall returns from the Schemes. These stocks,
at times, may be relatively less liquid as compared to growth stocks.

SCHEME INFORMATION DOCUMENT

 Changes in Government policy in general and changes in tax benefits applicable to mutual funds may
impact the returns to investors in the Schemes or business prospects of the Company in any
particular sector.

Risks associated with Index Funds:

 Investments in the securities constituting the Index are subject to price fluctuation on daily basis.
The volatility in the value of those securities is due to various micro and macroeconomic factors
like economic and political developments, changes in interest rates, etc. affecting the securities
markets. This may have adverse impact on the NAV of Scheme.

 The NAV of the Index fund reflects the valuation of its investment and any changes in market
value of its investments would have a bearing on its NAV.

 Market Risk: The Index funds NAV will react to stock market movements. The value of investments
in the Scheme may go down over a short or long period due to fluctuations underlying securities
in response to factors such as performance of companies whose stock comprises the underlying
portfolio, economic and political developments, changes is government policies, changes in
interest rates, inflation and other monetary factors causing movement in prices.

 Index-Related Risk: The Index funds invests in securities of the Nifty Midcap 150 Total Returns
Index and in the same proportion as the securities have in the Index. Hence, the risk associated
with the corresponding Index would be applicable to the index fund. The Index may have its own
criteria and policy for inclusion/exclusion of securities from the Index, its maintenance thereof
and effecting corporate actions. The Index fund would invest in the securities of the Index
regardless of investment merit, research, without taking a view of the market and without
adopting any defensive measures. The Index fund would not select securities in which it wants to
invest but is guided by the Index. As such the Index fund is not actively managed but is passively
managed. There is no guarantee that the Index funds will achieve a high degree of correlation to
the underlying Index and therefore achieve its investment objective.

 Index Dissolution Risk: In the event the Nifty Midcap 150 TRI is dissolved or is withdrawn by NSE

reserves a right to modify the Scheme to track a different and suitable index and appropriate
intimation will be sent to the Unit Holders of the Scheme.

 Management Risk. As the Index fund may not fully replicate the underlying Index, it is subject to
the risk that investment strategy may not produce the intended results.

 Concentration Risk. The Index fund may be susceptible to an increased risk of loss, including
losses due to adverse occurrences affecting the index fund more than the market, to the extent
that the investments are concentrated in the securities of a particular issuer or issuers, country,
group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector, or asset class.

 In certain cases, settlement periods may be extended significantly by unforeseen circumstances.


The inability of the Index Fund to make intended securities purchases due to settlement problems
could cause the Scheme to miss certain investment opportunities as in certain cases, settlement
periods may be extended significantly by unforeseen circumstances. Similarly, the inability to sell
securities held in the Index Fund portfolio may result, at times, in potential losses to the Scheme,
and there can be a subsequent decline in the value of the securities held in the Index Fund.

 Passive Investments: The Index fund is not actively managed. Since the Scheme is linked to an
index, it may be affected by a general decline in the securities constituting that index. The Scheme
as per its investment objective invests in the securities of the underlying index regardless of their
investment merit.

SCHEME INFORMATION DOCUMENT

 Equity Securities Risk. Equity securities are subject to changes in value and their values may be
more volatile than those of other asset classes.

Risks associated with investing in fixed income securities:

 Credit and Counterparty risk: Credit risk or default risk refers to the risk that an issuer of a fixed
income security may default (i.e., will be unable to make timely principal and interest payments
on the security or honour its contractual obligations).

delivery, repayment, etc.) and to risk of default. This risk relates to the quality of the counterparty
to which the Scheme has exposures. Losses can occur in particular for the settlement/delivery of
financial instruments or the conclusion of financial derivatives contracts.

The value of a fixed income security will fluctuate depending upon the changes in the perceived
level of credit and counterparty risk as well as any actual event of default. Changes in financial
conditions of an issuer, changes in economic and political conditions in general, or changes in
economic or and political conditions specific to an issuer, all of which are factors that may have
an adverse impact on an issuer's credit quality and security value.

 Liquidity Risk: The liquidity of the Scheme


volumes in the securities in which the Scheme invests.
A lower level of liquidity affecting an individual security or an entire market at the same time,
may have an adverse bearing on the value of the Scheme
cost, as
and when necessary to meet requirements of liquidity or to sell securities in response to triggers
such as a specific economic/corporate event.

Trading volumes, settlement periods and transfer procedures may restrict the liquidity of a few
or all the investments and may affect the liquidity of the investments of the Scheme.
The Scheme may be unable to implement purchase or sale decisions when the markets turn
illiquid, missing some investment opportunities or limiting ability to face redemptions. The lack
of liquidity could also lead to the risk that the sale price of a security could be substantially lower
than the fair value of the security.

 Interest Rate Risk & Re-investment Risk: The value of an investment may be affected by interest
rate fluctuations. Interest rates may be influenced by several elements or events, such as
monetary policy, the discount rate, inflation, etc. The value of debt and fixed income securities
held by the Scheme generally will vary inversely with the changes in prevailing interest rates. In
general, price of debt and fixed income securities go up when interest rates fall, and vice versa.
Securities of any issuer that has higher duration could be riskier in terms of price movements
relative to those with lower duration. Thus, any impact of interest rate changes would be higher
on securities with higher duration irrespective of the status of the issuer of the security. The
investments made by the Scheme are subject to reinvestment risk. This risk refers to the interest
rate levels at which cash flows received from the securities in the Scheme are reinvested. The

rate at which interim cash flows can be reinvested may be lower than that originally assumed.

 Sovereign risk: The Central Government of India is the issuer of the local currency debt in India.
The Government raises money to meet its capital and revenue expenditure by issuing debt or
discounted securities. Since payment of interest and principal amount has a sovereign status
implying least probability of a default, such securities are known as securities with sovereign
credit. It also implies that the credit risk on such Government securities is even lower than that
on non-government securities with "AAA" rating and hence yields on government securities are
even lower than yields on non-government securities with "AAA" rating.
Baroda BNP Paribas Nifty Midcap 150 Index Fund 27
SCHEME INFORMATION DOCUMENT

 Concentration Risk: The Scheme may pursue only a limited degree of diversification. It may invest
in a limited number of securities or invest a greater proportion of assets in the securities of very
few issuers (within the limits permitted by regulation) or be concentrated on a few market sectors
as compared to a diversified Scheme. The Scheme is also expected to have higher market liquidity
risk on account of concentration. This could have implications on the performance of the Scheme.
The Scheme may be more sensitive to economic, business, political or other changes and this may
lead to sizeable fluctuation in the Net Asset Value of the Scheme.

Risk Factors associated with Investments in Derivatives:

The Scheme(s) may use various derivative instruments and techniques, permitted within SEBI (Mutual
Funds) Regulations, 1996 from time to time including but not limited for portfolio balancing and hedging
purpose, which may increase the volatility of Scheme
Scheme(s) to certain risks inherent to such derivatives.

Derivative products are specialized instruments and can provide disproportionate gains as well as
disproportionate losses to the investor. Execution of such strategies depends upon the ability of the fund
manager to identify such opportunities. Identification and execution of the strategies to be pursued by the
fund manager involve uncertainty and decision of fund manager may not always be profitable. No
assurance can be given that the fund manager will be able to identify or execute such strategies. The risks
associated with the use of derivatives are different from or possibly greater than the risks associated with
investing directly in securities and other traditional investments.

The use of a derivative requires an understanding not only of the underlying instrument but also of the
derivative itself. There is a possibility that a loss may be sustained by the Scheme(s) as a result of the

derivatives contract. Other risks in using derivatives include the risk of mispricing or improper valuation
of derivatives and the inability of derivatives to correlate perfectly with underlying assets, interest rates
and indices. Even a small price movement in the underlying instrument could have a large impact on their
value. This could increase the volatility of the Scheme

In case of hedge, it is possible that derivative positions may not be perfectly in line with the underlying
assets they are hedging. As a consequence, the derivative cannot be expected to perfectly hedge the risk
of the underlying assets. This also increases the volatility of the Scheme
inherent to derivatives investments include:

1. Price Risk: Despite the risk mitigation provided by various derivative instruments, there remains an
inherent price risk which may result in losses exceeding actual underlying.

2. Default Risk: This is the risk that losses will be incurred due to default by counter party. This is also
known as credit risk or counterparty risk.

3. Basis Risk: This risk arises when the derivative instrument used to hedge the underlying asset does not
match the movement of the underlying being hedged for e.g., mismatch between the maturity date of the
futures and the actual selling date of the asset.

4. Limitations on upside: Derivatives when used as hedging tool can also limit the profits from a genuine
investment transaction.

5. Liquidity risk: This risk pertains to how saleable a security is in the market. All securities/instruments
irrespective of whether they are equity, bonds or derivatives may be exposed to liquidity risk (when the
sellers outnumber buyers) which may impact returns while exiting opportunities.

SCHEME INFORMATION DOCUMENT

Risks associated with investments in mutual fund units.

To the extent of the investments made by the Scheme in mutual funds units, the risks associated with
investing in such funds like market risk, credit & default risk, liquidity risk, redemption risk including the
possible loss of principal; etc. will exist.

Risks associated with Securities Lending & Borrowing (SLB)

Securities lending is lending of securities through an approved intermediary to a borrower under an


agreement for a specified period with the condition that the borrower will return equivalent securities of
the same type or class at the end of the specified period along with the corporate benefits accruing on
the securities borrowed.

The risks in security lending consist of the failure of intermediary/counterparty, to comply with the terms
of agreement entered between the lender of securities i.e. the Scheme and the intermediary/counterparty.
Such failure to comply can result in the possible loss of rights in the collateral put up by the borrower of
the securities, the inability of the approved intermediary to return the securities deposited by the lender
and the possible loss of any corporate benefits accruing to the lender from the securities deposited with
the approved intermediary. The Scheme may not be able to sell lent out securities, which can lead to
temporary illiquidity & loss of opportunity.
Other Risks:

 Risk associated with inflation: Over time, yields of short-term investments may not keep pace with

 Legal risk: The Scheme may be affected by the actions of government and regulatory bodies.
Legislation could be imposed retrospectively or may be issued in the form of internal regulations
which the public may not be aware of. Legislation (including legislation relating to tax) or regulation
may be introduced which inhibits the Scheme from pursuing their strategies or which renders an
existing strategy less profitable than anticipated. Such actions may take any form, for example
nationalization of any institution or restrictions on investment strategies in any given market sector
or changing requirements and imposed without prior warning by any regulator.
 Taxation risk: The value of an investment may be affected by the application of tax laws, including
withholding tax, or changes in government or economic or monetary policy from time to time. As such, no
guarantee can be given that the financial objectives will actually be achieved. The tax information
described in this Scheme Information Document (SID) is as available under the prevailing taxation laws.
This could be changed at any moment by regulation. Further, 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
indefinitely.
 Valuation risk: This risk relates to the fact that markets, in specific situations and due to lack of
volumes of transactions, do not enable an accurate assessment of the fair value of invested assets.
In such cases, valuation risk represents the possibility that, when a financial instrument matures or
is sold in the market, the amount received is less than anticipated, incurring a loss to the portfolio,
and therefore impacting negatively the NAV of the Scheme.
 Operational Risk: Operational risk addresses the risk of trading and back office or administration
issues that may result in a loss to the Scheme. This could be the result of oversight, ineffective
securities processing procedures, computer systems problems or human error. There could also be
risk associated with grouping of orders. For instance, at the time of placing the trades, the fund
manager shall group orders on behalf of all Schemes managed by him, provided it is unlikely to be
detrimental overall for any of the Schemes whose orders have been included. However, such
grouping may have a detrimental effect to the Scheme compared to the execution of an individual
order for the Scheme.
 Risk factors associated with processing of transaction in case of investors investing in mutual fund
units through Stock Exchange Mechanism: The trading mechanism introduced by the stock exchange(s)
is configured to accept and process transactions for mutual fund units in both Physical and Demat Form.
The allotment and/or redemption of Units through NSE and/or BSE or any other recognized stock
Baroda BNP Paribas Nifty Midcap 150 Index Fund 29
SCHEME INFORMATION DOCUMENT

exchange(s), on any Business Day will depend upon the modalities of processing viz. collection of
application form, order processing / settlement, etc. upon which the Fund and the AMC have no control.
Moreover, transactions conducted through the stock exchange mechanism shall be governed by the
operating guidelines and directives issued by respective recognized stock exchange(s) upon which the
Fund and the AMC have no control. Accordingly, there could be negative impacts to the investors such as
delay or failure in allotment / redemption of Units. The Fund and the AMC are not responsible for the
negative impacts.
 Tracking Error Risk: Tracking error is defined as the standard deviation of the difference between the
daily returns of the Underlying index and NAV of the Scheme. The Scheme
from the underlying benchmark index for the following reasons:
 Fees & expenditure incurred by the Scheme.
 Cash held by the Scheme due to subscriptions or to meet redemptions, expenses etc.
 Corporate Actions
 Halting of trading in underlying securities by exchange
 Methodology of calculation of settlement price of the index. The benchmark or underlying
index reflects the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of securities in the last half hour.
However, the Scheme may buy and sell at different points in time during the trading session
at the then prevailing prices which may not correspond to the closing prices on the exchange.
 Inability to acquire the securities due to various reasons like circuit filters, lack of liquidity
etc.
 Delay in replicating the portfolio during times of high volatility and
reconstitution/rebalancing of index.
 Rounding off securities for buying or selling as compared to the underlying index.

The AMC and fund manager would monitor the tracking error of the Scheme on an ongoing basis and
would seek to keep tracking error as low as possible. Under normal circumstances and as per SEBI
regulation, it would not cross 2% per annum. However, in case of various market events beyond the control
of AMC or fund manager like dividend issuance by constituent members, rights issuance by constituent
members, market volatility during reconstitution and rebalancing of portfolio and any abnormal
circumstances, tracking error may exceed the prescribed limits. There can be no assurance or guarantee
that the Scheme will achieve any particular level of tracking error relative to performance of the
Underlying Index

Risks associated with segregated portfolio:

• Investor holding units of segregated portfolio may not able to liquidate their holding till the time
recovery of money from the issuer.
• Security comprises of segregated portfolio may not realise any value.
• Listing of units of segregated portfolio in recognised stock exchange does not necessarily guarantee
their liquidity. There may not be active trading of units in the stock market. Further trading price of
units on the stock market may be significantly lower than the prevailing NAV.
• Trading in the units of segregated portfolio on the Exchange may be halted because of market
conditions, including any halt in the operations of Depository Participants or for reasons that in view
of the Exchange Authorities or SEBI, trading in the units is suspended and / or restricted. In addition,
trading in units is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility and pursuant to

Exchange necessary to maintain the listing of units of Scheme will continue to be met or will remain
unchanged.

Tracking Error Risk:

The Fund Manager would not be able to invest the entire corpus exactly in the same proportion as in the
underlying index due to certain factors such as the fees and expenses of the Scheme, corporate actions,
cash balance and changes to the underlying index and regulatory restrictions, lack of liquidity which may

SCHEME INFORMATION DOCUMENT

Error" is defined as the standard deviation of the difference between daily returns of the underlying index
and the NAV of the Scheme. The Fund Manager would monitor the Tracking Error of the Scheme on an
ongoing basis and would seek to minimize the Tracking Error to the maximum extent possible.

Tracking errors are inherent in any index fund and such errors may cause the Scheme to generate returns
which are not in line with the performance of the NIFTY Midcap 150 Index or one or more securities
covered by / included in the NIFTY Midcap 150 Index and may arise from a variety of factors including but
not limited to:

1. Any delay in the purchase or sale of securities due to illiquidity in the market, settlement and realisation
of sales proceeds, delay in credit of securities or in receipt and consequent reinvestment of dividend, etc.

2. The index reflects the prices of securities at a point in time, which is the price at close of business day
on the stock exchange. The Scheme, however, may trade the securities at different points in time during
the trading session and therefore the prices at which the Scheme trades may not be identical to the
closing price of each scrip on that day on the respective stock exchange. In addition, the Scheme may opt
to trade the same securities on different exchanges due to price or liquidity factors, which may also result
in traded prices being at variance from the closing price considered in the Index.

3. NSE Indices Limited undertakes periodic reviews of the securities that are represented in the NIFTY
Midcap 150 Index and from time to time may exclude existing securities or include new ones. In such an
event, the Scheme will reallocate its portfolio to mirror the changes. However, there allocation process
may not occur instantaneously and may not permit precise mirroring of the NIFTY Midcap 150 Index
during this period.

4. The potential of trades to fail may result in the Scheme not having acquired the security at the price
necessary to mirror the index.

5. Transaction and other expenses, such as but not limited to brokerage, custody, trustee and investment
management fees.

6. Being an open ended Scheme, the Scheme may hold appropriate levels of cash or cash equivalents to
meet on going redemptions.

7. The Scheme may not be able to acquire or sell the desired number of securities due to conditions
prevailing in the securities market, such as, but not restricted to circuit filters in the securities, liquidity
and volatility in security prices.

The Scheme will disclose the tracking error based on past one year rolling data, on a daily basis, on the
website of AMC and AMFI. In case the Scheme has been in existence for a period of less than one year, the
annualized standard deviation shall be calculated based on available data.

Tracking Difference: The tracking difference i.e. the annualized difference of daily returns between the
index and the NAV of the Scheme will be disclosed on the website of the AMC and AMFI, on a monthly
basis, for tenures 1 year, 3 year, 5 year, 10 year and since the date of allotment of units.

The annualized tracking difference averaged over one year period shall not exceed 1.25%. In case the
average annualized tracking difference over one year period for the Scheme is higher than 1.25%, the same
will be brought to the notice of trustees with corrective actions taken by the AMC, if any

Passive Investments:

The Scheme is not actively managed. Since the Scheme is linked to index, it may be affected by a general
decline in the Indian markets relating to its underlying index. The Scheme as per its investment objective
invests in Securities which are constituents of its underlying index regardless of their investment merit.
The AMC does not attempt to individually select stocks or to take defensive positions in declining markets.

Risk factors associated with processing of transaction in case of investors investing in mutual fund
units through Stock Exchange Mechanism
The trading mechanism introduced by the stock exchange(s) is configured to accept and process
transactions for mutual fund units in both Physical and Demat Form. The allotment and/or redemption of
Units through NSE and/or BSE or any other recognized stock exchange(s), on any Business Day will depend
upon the modalities of processing viz. collection of application form, order processing / settlement, etc.
upon which the Fund and the AMC have no control. Moreover, transactions conducted through the stock
exchange mechanism shall be governed by the operating guidelines and directives issued by respective
recognized stock exchange(s) upon which the Fund and the AMC have no control. Accordingly, there could
be negative impacts to the investors such as delay or failure in allotment / redemption of Units. The Fund
and the AMC are not responsible for the negative impacts.

C. Risk Mitigation Measures:

The Scheme
sell securities, trading volumes and settlement periods, market risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, default
risk, reinvestment risk etc. Whilst such risks cannot be eliminated, they may be mitigated by diversification
and hedging.

In order to mitigate the various risks, the portfolio of the Scheme will be constructed in accordance with
the investment restriction specified under the Regulations which would help in mitigating certain risks
relating to investments in securities market.

Further, the AMC has necessary framework in place for risk mitigation at an enterprise level. The Risk
Management division is an independent division within the organization. Internal limits are defined and
judiciously monitored. Risk indicators on various parameters are computed and are monitored on a regular
basis. There is a Board level Committee, the Risk Management Committee of the Board, which enables a
dedicated focus on risk factors and the relevant risk mitigants.

II. Information about the Scheme:

A. Where will the Scheme invest?

The Scheme may invest its funds in the following securities:

• Equity and equity related instruments including equity and index derivatives.
• Money market instruments permitted by SEBI/RBI, having maturities of up to one year or in
alternative investment for the call money market as may be provided by the RBI to meet the
liquidity requirements.
• Units of Liquid Schemes
• Certificate of Deposits (CDs), Commercial Paper (CPs).
• Securities created and issued by the Central and State Governments and/or repos/reverse repos
in such Government Securities as may be permitted by RBI (including but not limited to coupon
bearing bonds, zero coupon bonds and treasury bills).
• Securities guaranteed by the Central and State Governments (including but not limited to coupon
bearing bonds, zero coupon bonds and treasury bills).
• Any other domestic fixed income securities as permitted by SEBI/ RBI from time to time (subject
to the required approval if any)
• Tri-Party Repo or repo or any alternative investment as may be provided by RBI.
Any other instruments / securities, which in the opinion of the fund manager would suit the investment
objective of the Scheme subject to compliance with extant Regulations.

Position of debt & money market in India

The Indian debt market is today one of the largest in Asia and includes securities issued by the Government
(Central & State Governments), public sector undertakings, other government bodies, financial institutions,
banks and corporates. Government and public sector enterprises are the predominant borrowers in the
Baroda BNP Paribas Nifty Midcap 150 Index Fund 32
SCHEME INFORMATION DOCUMENT

markets. The major players in the Indian debt markets today are banks, financial institutions, mutual funds,
insurance companies, primary dealers, trusts, pension funds and corporates. The Indian debt market is the
largest segment of the Indian financial markets. The debt market comprises broadly two segments, viz.
Government Securities market or G-Sec market and corporate debt market. The latter is further classified
as market for PSU bonds and private sector bonds.

The G-Sec market is the oldest and the largest component of the Indian debt market in terms of market
capitalization, outstanding securities and trading volumes. The G-Sec market plays a vital role in the
Indian economy as it provides the benchmark for determining the level of interest rates in the country
through the yields on the Government Securities which are referred to as the risk-free rate of return in
any economy. Over the years, there have been new products introduced by the RBI like zero coupon bonds,
floating rate bonds, inflation indexed bonds, etc.

The corporate bond market, in the sense of private corporate sector raising debt through public issuance
in capital market, is only an insignificant part of the Indian Debt Market. A large part of the issuance in
the non-Government debt market is currently on private placement basis.

The money markets in India essentially consist of the call money market (i.e. market for overnight and
term money between banks and institutions), repo transactions (temporary sale with an agreement to
buy back the securities at a future date at a specified price), commercial papers (CPs, short term unsecured
promissory notes, generally issued by corporates), certificate of deposits (CDs, issued by banks) and
Treasury Bills (issued by RBI). In a predominantly institutional market, the key money market players are
banks, financial institutions, insurance companies, mutual funds, primary dealers and corporates. In
money market, activity levels of the Government and nongovernment debt vary from time to time.
Instruments that comprise a major portion of money market activity include but not limited to:
• Overnight Call
• Tri-party repo on Government Securities or treasury bills (TREPS).
• Repo/Reverse Repo Agreement
• Treasury Bills
• Government securities
• Commercial Paper
• Certificate of Deposit
Apart from these, there are some other options available for short tenure investments that include MIBOR
linked debentures with periodic exit options and other such instruments. Though not strictly classified as
money market instruments, PSU / DFI / corporate paper with a residual maturity of < 1 year, are actively
traded and offer a viable investment option. The market has evolved in past 2-3 years in terms of risk
premia attached to different class of issuers. Bank CDs have clearly emerged as popular asset class with
increased acceptability in secondary market. PSU banks trade the tightest on the back of comfort from
majority government holding. Highly rated manufacturing companies also command premium on account
of limited supply. However, there has been increased activity in papers issued by private/foreign
banks/NBFCs/companies in high-growth sector due to higher yields offered by them. Even though
companies across these sectors might have been rated on a same scale, the difference in the yield on the
papers for similar maturities reflects the perception of their respective credit profiles.

These yields are indicative and do not indicate yields that may be obtained in future as interest rates keep
changing consequent to changes in macro-economic conditions and RBI policy. The price and yield on
various debt instruments fluctuate from time to time depending upon the macro economic situation,
inflation rate, overall liquidity position, foreign exchange scenario etc. Also, the price and yield vary
according to maturity profile, credit risk etc.

B. What are the investment restrictions?

Pursuant to the SEBI Regulations, the following investment restrictions are applicable to the Scheme:

1) A mutual fund Scheme shall not invest more than


a. 10% of its NAV in debt and money market securities rated AAA or
b. 8% of its NAV in debt and money market securities rated AA or
c. 6% of its NAV in debt and money market securities rated A and below by a single issuer.
The above investment limit may be extended by up to 2% of the NAV of the Scheme with the prior
approval of the Trustees or Board of Directors of AMC subject to compliance within the overall 12%
limit specified in clause 1 of Seventh Schedule of MF Regulation
Provided further that investment within such limit can be made in mortgaged backed securitised debt
which are rated not below investment grade by a credit rating agency registered with the SEBI. As per
SEBI Master Circular no. SEBI/HO/IMD/IMD-PoD-1/P/CIR/2023/74, with respect to investment in
securitized debt (mortgage-backed securities / asset backed securities), restrictions at the originator
level will not be applicable.

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

to the Unit holder. It may, however, be noted that in the event of death
of the unitholder, the nominee / legal heir (as the case may be),
subject to production of requisite documentary evidence, will be able
