Ranking Disclaimer: The ranking for Sundaram BNP Paribas Tax Saver indicated in this document is based the equity tax planning schemes category of Value Research. This category comprises 33 schemes. Performance data and ranking for the indicated periods for schemes in this category has been provided by Value Research. In the full category of equity tax planning schemes of Value Research, the ranking of Sundaram BNP Paribas Tax Saver is 6/33 for one year, 4/31 for two years, 2/28 for three years and 2/21 for five years (each period ending March 31, 2009). The performance for ranking purposes has been reckoned as on March 31, 2009 and is based on compounded annual returns (computed using NAV of the Growth Option and/or NAV adjusted dividend reinvestment) for more than one year. The comparison does not take account into scheme-specific features such as launch period entry/exit loads, expenses and fees, to name a few. Attributes such as style and portfolio composition may also differ. Past performance is no guarantee of future result.

Quartile Disclaimer: The ranks derived on the basis of the methodology described in the Ranking Disclaimer has been used as the basis for categorising funds into first quartile (top 25% of funds by rank), second quartile (the second 25% by rank), third quartile (the third 25% by rank) and fourth quartile (the fourth 25% by rank). For example, if there are 100 funds, funds ranked between 1-25 will be quartile I, 26-50 Quartile 2, 51-75 Quartile 3 and 76-100 Quartile 4. The research on historical performance on which the quartiles and ranking are based has been sourced from Value Research, NAV India (an independent third party vendor of fund intelligence in India) and Bloomberg. The performance for ranking purposes has been reckoned March 31, 2009. The ranking of every fund in the primary category as of the two dates is available in an excel sheet at www.sundarambnpparibas.in. The analysis of the information has been carried in good faith in-house by Sundaram BNP Paribas Asset Management. The comparison does not take account into scheme-specific features such as specific asset allocation pattern, specific cap-curve or thematic orientation, entry/exit loads, expenses and fees and respective benchmarks for each fund considered for analysis. Attributes such as style and portfolio composition may also differ though the funds invest predominantly in equity and this latter aspect provides a common thread for creating a sub-category of comparable funds. Past performance does not guarantee future result. Peer set excel comparison for each sub-category is also available at www.sundarambnpparibas.in

Value Research Fund Rating: Value Research Fund Ratings are a composite measure of historical risk-adjusted returns. In the case of equity funds this rating is based on the weighted-average monthly returns for the past three- and five-year periods.
