2. Mutual Funds and securities investments are subject to market risks.

3. As with any investment in securities, the NAV of the units issued under the scheme can go up or down depending on the factors and forces affecting the capital markets.

4. Past performance of this scheme and previous schemes/plans is not necessarily an indication of future results. There is no assurance or guarantee that the objective of the scheme will be achieved.

5. Statements/ observations made in this offer document are subject to the laws of the land as they exist at any relevant point of time.

6. Income, growth and appreciation referred to in this offer document are subject to the tax laws and other fiscal enactments as they exist from time to time.

7. Credit Risk: Bonds /debentures as well as other money market instruments issued by corporates run the risk of down grading by the rating agencies and even default as the worst case. Securities issued by Central/State governments have lesser to zero probability of credit/ default risk in view of the sovereign status of the issuer.

8. Interest -Rate Risk: Bonds/Government securities, which are fixed income securities, run price-risk, like any other fixed income security. Generally, when interest rates rise, prices of fixed income securities fall and when interest rates drop, the prices increase. The level of interest rates is determined by the rates at which government raises new money through RBI, the price levels at which the market is already dealing in existing securities, rate of inflation etc. The extent of fall or rise in the prices is a function of the prevailing coupon rate, number of days to maturity of a security and the increase or decrease in the level of interest rates. The prices of Bonds/ Government securities are also influenced by the liquidity in the financial system and/or the open market operations (OMO) by RBI. Pressure on exchange rate of the Rupee may also affect security prices. Such rise and fall in price of bonds/ government securities in the portfolio of the scheme may influence the NAV under both the options of the scheme as and when such changes occur.

9. Liquidity Risk: The Indian debt market is such that a large percentage of the total traded volumes on particular days might be concentrated in a few securities. Traded volumes for particular securities differ significantly on a daily basis. Consequently, the fund might have to incur a significant "impact cost" while transacting large volumes in a particular security.

10. Investment in overseas markets: The success of investment in overseas markets depends upon the ability of the fund manager to understand conditions of those markets and analyse the information, which could be different from Indian markets. Operations in foreign markets would be subject to exchange rate fluctuation risk besides market risks of those markets.

11. Securities Lending: It is one of the means of earning additional income for the scheme with least risk. The risk could be in the form of non-availability of ready securities for sale during the period the securities remain lent. The scheme could also be exposed to risk through the possibility of default by the borrower/intermediary in returning the securities. However, this risk would be adequately covered by taking in of suitable collateral from the borrower by the intermediary involved in the process. UTI will have a lien on such collateral. It will also have other suitable checks and controls to minimise any risk involved in the securities lending process.

12. Trading in debt and equity derivatives involves certain specific risks like :

1. Credit Risk: This is the risk on default by the counter party. This is usually to the extent of difference between actual position and contracted position. This risk is eliminated where derivative transactions happen through clearing corporation.

2. Market Risk: Market movement may also adversely affect the pricing and settlement of derivative trades like cash trades.

3. Illiquidity Risk: The market risk that a derivative may not be sold or purchased at a fair price due to lack of liquidity in the market.

4. An exposure to derivatives can lead to losses. Success of dealing in derivatives depends on the ability of the Fund Manager to correctly assess the future market movement and in the event of incorrect assessment, if any, performance of the scheme could be lower.

5. Interest Rate Swaps (IRS) and Forward Rate Agreements (FRA) do also have inherent credit and settlement risks. However, these risks are substantially less as they are limited to the interest stream and not the notional principal amount.

6. Participating in derivatives is a highly specialised activity and entails greater than ordinary investment risks. Notwithstanding such derivatives being used for limited purpose of hedging and portfolio balancing the overall market in these segments could be highly speculative due to action of other participants in the market.

1. The scheme aims at providing income distribution/cumulation of income and capital appreciation over a long term from a prudent portfolio mix of equity and fixed income securities.

2. Minimum and maximum asset allocation:

   Equity: Minimum 25% - Maximum 55%

   Debt : Not more than 75% assets under management will be invested in debt instruments. For investments in corporate debt the minimum rating would be of AA category (inclusive of AA minus). At least 7.5% of the total investment would be in Government of India securities.

    

3. Investment in Money Market Instruments:

   (i) No fixed allocation will normally be made for investment in money market instruments. Investment in money market instruments may be kept to the minimum generally to meet the liquidity needs of the scheme.

   (ii) Pending deployment of funds of the scheme in securities in accordance with its investment objective as stated above, the scheme may invest in money market instruments including short-term deposits of scheduled commercial bank.

4. UTI retains the option to alter the asset allocation for a short term period on defensive considerations.

5. On division of assets from existing US 64, it is estimated equity & Debt exposure under US-2002 as on the record date would be 65 % and 35 % respectively.

The dealing and fund management functions at UTI are segregated into separate & independent functions. The broad procedure followed at UTI for taking investment decisions is summarised as follows:

(i). The investments of each scheme are managed by a designated Fund Manager on a regular basis. The fund manager constructs the appropriate portfolio in the light of the scheme objectives, prudential exposure norms, fund size, tenure of the scheme, and the liquidity required for income distribution considering the normal repurchases, redemption etc. All the investment decisions are based on scheme�s investment objectives, internal guidelines, regulatory restrictions etc. The portfolio is continuously monitored based on the research inputs, present & expected market conditions, future outlook on the economy/sectors/individual scrips and fresh inflows/outflows in the scheme with a view to optimise the return under the scheme. The Fund Manager's operational strategy and its implementation are reviewed by the Chief Investment Officer on an ongoing basis and by the Asset Management Committee consisting of external eminent persons at regular intervals.

(ii). Equity Research Cell (ERC) is an internal set-up with analysts tracking specific sectors, which provides regular inputs to the fund managers on stocks/industries/sectors, implication of Govt./RBI policies and trends in international markets. The fund managers and research analysts interact regularly through meetings and presentations. These inputs are discussed thoroughly in these meetings. The fund managers and equity analysts visit companies to obtain all publicly available information on company performance/management perspectives. The fund managers also attend company presentations as well as presentations by external research outfits / broking firms on company / industry performance.

(iii)Primary market investments: The investments in Initial Public Offerings and Private Placements in primary market are screened and scrutinised by a separate primary market team under Department of Dealing. On the basis of this team�s information and research reports, the fund managers give their recommendation on the proposals keeping in mind the schemes� investment objectives, internal guidelines and SEBI guidelines. Such proposals are approved by Primary Market Investment Committee /Chairman / Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees / Board of Trustees.

(iv) Secondary market investments : Fund Managers also interact with research analysts of UTI and dealers on regular basis. The fund managers also have access to external sources of data from analysts, publicly available information about company / sector etc. The fund manager prepares a strategy paper for the scheme on periodic basis, which is discussed with senior management of UTI. Investment proposals are referred to senior management of UTI if it exceeds the limits laid down by the internal guidelines. Finally, these investment decisions made by the Fund Managers are executed by dealing department.

The inter-scheme buy and sale transactions are effected as per the SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations.

(vi) There are three Asset Management Committees (AMCs) to review the activities of the three fund management functions. The role of the AMC is to

1. Oversee from time to time that a scheme broadly adheres to its objectives, the guidelines laid down by UTI General Regulations, SEBI (Mutual Funds) regulations and the Prudential Guidelines laid down by UTI Board of Trustees.

2. Review scheme performance regularly and advise fund managers on the future course of action to be adopted.

3. Address other key issues such as product designing, marketing, investor servicing and compliance of the scheme

4. Examine and advise on the taxation and accounting policy related aspects of a scheme

5. Make recommendations to the Executive Committee/Board of Trustees as the AMC may consider necessary.

6. The proceedings of the AMCs are reported in the form of minutes to the Board of Trustees for its information and guidance, at regular intervals.

(q )Participating in Derivative Products:

1. The scheme may use hedging techniques including dealing in derivative products - like futures and options, warrants, interest rate swaps (IRS),forward rate agreement (FRA) as may be permissible under SEBI (MFs) Regulations.

2. The scheme intends to use derivatives mainly for the purpose of hedging and/or rebalancing of the portfolio against any anticipated move in the equity and debt markets. A hedge is primarily designed to offset a loss on a portfolio with a gain in the hedge position.

3. The Fund Manager may use various strategies for trading in derivatives with a view to enhancing returns and taking cover against possible fluctuations in the market. One of the strategies could be to use index futures with a view to increasing/decreasing the overall level of investment in equities.

4. The Fund Manager may sell the Index Forward by taking a short position in Index Futures to save on the cost of outflow of funds or in the event of negative view on the market.

5. As per the current norms laid down by the Board of Trustees of UTI, the value of derivative contracts outstanding at any point of time will be limited to 20% of the net assets of the scheme. The Board of Trustees may, in future, revise the limits within the SEBI (MFs) Regulations in keeping with the investment objectives of the scheme.

All convertible NPAs are valued at cost till their conversion into equity and provisions as per the existing norms are made regularly. After conversion, the same shall be valued as �quoted� or unquoted� as the case may be. In respect of debentures (performing) where servicing is regular , the following norms are followed upto their conversion . After conversion the same shall be valued as �quoted� or unquoted� as the case may be.

(iii) Conversion details not available : Performing Assets :

(m) Capital Index bonds are valued at closing NSE market rates on the valuation date and in its absence the latest available quote within a period of thirty days prior to the valuation date. If no quotes are available for a period of thirty days prior to the valuation date, the same is valued based on whole sale price index.

n) Valuation Norms for unlisted equity shares :-

1. Investments in IPOs during the intervening period, if any, between the date of allotment and listing date will be valued at cost or fair value applicable for unlisted shares, whichever is lower.

(o) Valuation policies for Money Market instruments :-

(p) Valuation policies for derivatives :

1. Profit or loss on sale of investments is recognised on the trade dates on the basis of weighted average cost.

2. Profit or loss and premium on redemption of debentures/bonds are recognised on the due date.

In respect of schemes where units are sold/repurchased at NAV related prices, the amount of premium/discount on face value in the respective schemes is apportioned as under:

1. An �asset� is classified as non-performing, if the interest and/or principal amount have not been received or remained outstanding for one quarter (90 days) from the day such income/instalment has fallen due. Once an asset is classified as NPA there is no further accrual of income on such asset.

1. Interest Provision:

# As a percentage to the investment (book value)

(b) Principal repayment remaining outstanding on NPA is provided for in full. Provisions for such asset is made individually. Such provisions are not made for other performing assets of the same company.

(i) In case a company has fully cleared all the arrears of interest, the interest provision to the extent made, is written back in full.

(ii) The provision made for the principal amount is written back in the following manner: -

(a) Where the provision on principal was made due to the interest defaults only such provision is written back at the end of the 2^nd calendar quarter from the date of payment.

(b) Where the provision on principal was made due to both interest and instalment defaults such provision is written back to the extent of 50% at the end of the 2^nd calendar quarter, and 25% after 3^rd calendar quarter and the balance at the end of 4^th calendar quarter from the date of payment.

An asset is reclassified as �performing asset� only when the entire interest and/or instalment in default is repaid in full and the asset is serviced regularly over the next two quarters.

(i) The assets may be classified as NPA on satisfaction of any two of the following three criteria:

1. Rating of the asset becomes BB or lower

2. If any other asset of the company held by UTI, becomes an NPA.

3. Net worth becomes negative.

(ii) Investment Provision is made as per the norms at point no. a (ii) above as soon as the asset is classified as NPA. When the rating of a DDB, which is an NPA, is downgraded to `D�, the provisioning will be done in a phased manner as applicable for normal NPA securities. Once the asset is classified as NPA, the interest accrued is also provided for in the full.

In case any company defaults either interest or principal amount and UTI has accepted the proposal of revising the schedule payments, then the following norms are adhered to:

1. In case it is a first reschedulement and only interest is in default-the asset on reschedulement continues to be non-performing for a period of 2 quarters, even though the asset is serviced regularly during these 2 quarters. Thereafter, the asset is classified as �performing asset� and all the existing provision is written back.

2. If the reschedulement is done due to default in interest and principal amount, the asset on reschedulement continues to be non-performing for a period of 4 quarters, even though the asset is serviced regularly during these 4 quarters. Thereafter, the asset is classified as �performing asset� and all the existing provision is written back.

3. If the reschedulement is done for a second/third time or thereafter, the asset on reschedulement continues to be non-performing for a period of 8 quarters, even though the asset is serviced regularly during these 8 quarters. Thereafter, the asset is classified as �performing asset� and all the existing provision is written back. This norm is also applicable to restructured asset i.e. issue of a new paper. However, in case of conversion into shares, entire provision is written back in full on such conversion as there are separate valuation norms for equity.

(g) Provision for non-performing assets are charged to Revenue Account and the write back of such provisions, if any, is credited to Revenue Account.

The aggregate value of investments as computed in accordance with clause XVII (2) above is compared to the aggregate cost of such investments and the resultant depreciation, if any, is charged/written back to Revenue Account from the year 2001-2002.
