A. STANDARD RISK FACTORSMutual Funds and securities investments are subject to market risks andthere can be no assurance and no guarantee that the Scheme will achieveits objective.

As with any investment in stocks, shares and securities, the NAV of theUnits under this Scheme can go up or down, depending on the factorsand forces affecting the capital markets.

Past performance of the previous Schemes, the Sponsors or its Group/Affiliates is not indicative of and does not guarantee the future performanceof the Scheme.

Tata Growth Fund is only the name of the Scheme and does not in anymanner indicate either the quality of the Scheme, its future prospects orthe returns. Investors therefore are urged to study the terms of the Offercarefully and consult their Investment Advisor before they invest in theScheme.

B. SCHEME SPECIFIC RISK FACTORSLiquidity and Settlement RisksThe liquidity of the Scheme’s investments may be inherently restricted by tradingvolumes, transfer procedures and settlement periods. From time to time, theScheme will invest in debt and/or government securities based on certain

investment parameters as adopted internally by AMC. The Scheme may havedifficulty in disposing of certain securities due to extreme volatility or unusualconstriction in market volumes, due to greater price fluctuations (market risks)there may be a thin trading market, different settlement periods and transferprocedures for a particular security at any given time. Settlement if accomplishedthrough physical delivery of stock certificates, is labour and paper intensiveand may affect the liquidity. It should be noted that the Fund also bears the riskof purchasing fraudulent or tainted papers. The (secondary) market for corparatebonds/debentures does exist, but is generally not as liquid as the secondarymarket for other securities, particularly for smaller lots. Reduced liquidity inthe secondary market may have an adverse impact on market price and theScheme’s ability to dispose of particular securities, when necessary, to meetthe Scheme’s liquidity needs or in response to a specific economic event, orduring restructuring of the Scheme’s investment portfolio. Furthermore, fromtime to time, the Asset Management Company, the Custodian, the Registrar,any Associate, any distributor, dealer, any company, corporate bodies, trusts,any retirement and employee benefit funds of any associate or otherwise anyscheme / mutual fund managed by the Asset Management Company or byany other Asset Management Company may invest in the Scheme. While atall times the Trustee Company and the Asset Management Company willendeavour that excessive holding of Units in the Scheme among a fewUnitholders is avoided, however, the funds invested by these aforesaid personsmay acquire a substantial portion of the Scheme’s outstanding Units andcollectively may constitute a majority unitholder in the Scheme. Accordingly,redemption of Units held by such persons may have an adverse impact on thevalue of the Units of the Scheme because of the timing of any such redemptionsand may impact the ability of other Unitholders to redeem their respective Units.

hereunder shall, under any circumstances, create any impression that theinformation herein is correct as of any time subsequent to the date hereof.

Investment RisksThe value of, and income from, an investment in the Scheme can decreaseas well as increase, depending on a variety of factors which may affect thevalues and income generated by the Scheme’s portfolio of securities. Thereturns of the Scheme’s investments are based on the current yields of thesecurities, which may be affected generally by factors affecting capital marketssuch as price and volume, volatility in the stock markets, interest rates,currency exchange rates, foreign investment, changes in Government andReserve Bank of India policy, taxation, political, economic or otherdevelopments closure of the Stock Exchanges etc. Investors shouldunderstand that the investment pattern indicated, in line with prevailing marketconditions, is only a hypothetical example as all investments involve risk andthere can be no assurance that the Scheme’s investment objective will beattained nor will the Scheme be in a position to maintain the model percentageof investment pattern particularly under exceptional circumstances such thatthe interest of the Unitholders are protected.

The Scheme will endeavour to invest in highly researched growth companies.However the growth associated with equities is generally high as also theerosion in the value of the investments/portfolio in the case of the capitalmarkets passing through a bearish phase is a distinct possibility. The NAV ofthe scheme is largely dependent on the performance of the companies andthe sectors wherein the investment has been made.

The scheme may also invest in overseas financial assets (please refer toInvestment Pattern) subject to approval by the concerned regulatoryauthorities in India. To the extent that the assets of the scheme will be investedin securities denominated in foreign currencies, the Indian Rupee equivalentof the net assets, distributions and income may be adversely affected bychanges in the value of certain foreign currencies relative to the Indian Rupee.The repatriation of capital to India may also be hampered by changes inregulations concerning exchange controls or political circumstances as wellas the application to it of other restrictions on investment. In addition, countryrisks would include events such as introduction of extraordinary exchangecontrol, economic deterioration and bi-lateral conflict leading to immobilisationof the overseas financial assets.

Securities Lending RisksIt may be noted that this activity would have the inherent probability ofcollateral value drastically falling in times of strong downward market trends,resulting in inadequate value of collateral until such time as that diminutionin value is replenished by additional security. It is also possible that theborrowing party and/or the approved intermediary may suddenly suffer severebusiness setback and become unable to honour its commitments. This, alongwith a simultaneous fall in value of collateral would render potential loss tothe Scheme. Besides, there can also be temporary illiquidity of the securitiesthat are lent out and the scheme may not be able to sell such lent outsecurities.

Interest Rate RiskAs with debt instruments, changes in interest rate may affect the Scheme’snet asset value as the prices of instruments generally increase as interestrates decline and generally decrease as interest rate rise. Prices of long-term securities generally fluctuate more in response to interest rate changesthan do short-term securities. Indian debt and government securities marketscan be volatile leading to the possibility of price movements up or down infixed income securities and thereby to possible movements in the NAV.

Credit RiskCredit risk or Default risk refers to the risk that an issuer of a fixed incomesecurity may default (i.e. the issuer will be unable to make timely principaland interest payments on the security). Because of this risk corporatedebentures are sold at a higher yield above those offered on GovernmentSecurities which are sovereign obligations and free of credit risk. Normally,the value of a fixed income security will fluctuate depending upon the changesin the perceived level of credit risk as well as any actual event of default. Thegreater the credit risk, the greater the yield required for someone to becompensated for the increased risk.

Reinvestment RiskThis risk refers to the interest rate levels at which cash flows received fromthe securities in the schemes are reinvested. The additional income from

reinvestment is the “interest on interest” component. The risk is that the rateat which interim cash flows can be reinvestment may be lower than thatoriginally assumed.

Risks associated with DerivativesDerivative products are specialised instruments that require investmenttechniques and risk analysis different from those associated with stocks andbonds. Derivatives require the maintenance of adequate controls to monitorthe transactions entered into, the ability to access the risk that a derivative addto the portfolio and the ability to forecast price of interest rate movementscorrectly. There is a possibility that a loss may be sustained by the portfolio asa result of the failure of another party (usually referred to as the “counterparty”)to comply with the terms of the derivatives contract. Other risks in usingderivatives include the risk of mis-pricing or improper valuation of derivativesand the inability of derivatives to correlate perfectly with underlying assets,rates and indices.

Compulsory Winding Up :As per SEBI Circular SEBI/MD/CIR No. 10/22701/03 dated Dec12th 2003 1)Eachscheme and individual plans under the schemes should have a minimum of 20investors and no single investor should account for more than 25% of the corpusof such scheme/plan(s). In case of open ended schemes in case of nonfulfillment of either of the conditions above a three month time period or theend of succeeding calendar quarter whichever is earlier from the close of theIPO of open ended schemes will be available to balance and to ensurecompliance with these two conditions failing which the provisions of Regulation39 (2) (c) of SEBI (MF) Regulations 1996 would become applicableautomatically without any reference from SEBI. Accordingly schemes / planswould be wound up by following the guidelines laid down by SEBI. After theIPO and the three months balancing period in each subsequent calendar quarterthereafter on an average basis the schemes the schemes /plans should meetwith both the conditions mentioned above. The average would be calculatedon the basis of number of investors as at the end of the business hours of thescheme on a daily basis.

i. Proposed investment objective, investment strategy and riskmanagement after conversion stands as under

The investment objective of the Scheme will be to provide income distributionand / or medium to long term capital gains. The scheme will invest in equityand equity related instruments of well researched growth oriented companies.

The above investment policies are in conformity with the provisions of variousconstitutional documents viz. MOA/ AOA of the TWAMPL/ Trustee Company,IMA and the Trust Deed.

The moneys collected under this Scheme shall be invested only in transferablesecurities in the capital market or in the money market.

The Fund willalso not make investment in privately placed securities issued by associate/group companies of the Sponsors. The Fund may invest not more than 25%of the net assets (of all the Schemes of the Fund) in listed securities (equity &debt instruments) of Group companies.

ii. Proposed investment Pattern and Risk Profile after conversion standsas under

Under normal circumstances, the total assets of the Scheme, shall (afterproviding for all ongoing expenses) generally be invested / the indicative assetallocation shall be as follows :

Proportion Risk% of funds available Profile

Instrument LikelyAround

Equity and Equity 80-100 HighRelated

Debt* (Including Money Market) 0-20 Low to Medium

* Securitised debt will not normally exceed 50% of the debt components.

The Trustee Company may from time to time for a short term period ondefensive consideration invest upto 100% of the funds available in moneymarket instruments, the primary motive being to protect the Net Asset Valueof the Scheme and protect unitholders interests as also to earn reasonablereturns on liquid funds maintained for repurchase of units.

The Trustee Co. may from time to time for a short term period underexceptional circumstances on defensive consideration modify / alter theinvestment pattern / asset allocation the intent being to protect the Net AssetValue of the Scheme & Unitholders interests without seeking consent of theunitholders.

Benchmark IndexThe Benchmark Index for the Scheme is BSE SENSEX.

iii. Trading in Derivatives

Subject to SEBI (Mutual Fund) Regulations, 1996, the Scheme may usetechniques and instruments such as trading in derivative instruments to hedgethe risk of fluctuations in the value of the investment portfolio. The Schemeshall enter into derivative transactions for the purpose of hedging and portfoliobalancing. In accordance with the guidelines issued by the SEBI.

A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from the value of one ormore of the underlying assets which can be commodities, precious metals,bonds, currency, etc. Common examples of Derivative instruments are InterestRate Swaps, Forward Rate Agreements, Futures, Options, etc.

The scheme may use derivative instruments like Interest Rate Swaps, ForwardRate Agreements or such other derivative instruments as may be introducedfrom time to time and as may be permitted under the SEBI (Mutual Fund)Regulations.

Net exposure to derivative instruments will not exceed 15% of the net assetsof the scheme.

Interest Rate Swaps: An Interest Rate Swap is an agreement whereby twoparties agree to exchange periodic interest payments. The amount of interestpayments exchanged is based on some predetermined principal, called notionalprincipal amount. The amount each counterparty pays to the other upon periodicinterest rate multiplied by the notional principal amount. The only amount thatis exchanged between the parties is the interest payment, not the notionalprincipal amount.

Forward Rate Agreements (FRA): This is an agreement between two

counterparties to pay or to receive the difference between an agreed fixed rate(the FRA rate) and the interest rate prevailing on a stipulated future date basedon the notional amount, for an agreed period.

The interest rate benchmarks that are commonly used for floating rate in interestrate swaps are those on various Money Market Instruments. In Indian markets,the benchmark most commonly used is MIBOR.

Options and Futures

The Scheme(s) may write (sell) and purchase call and put options in securitiesin which it invests and on securities indices based on securities in which thescheme invests. Through the purchase and sale of futures contracts and relatedoptions on those contracts the Fund would seek to hedge against a decline insecurities owned by the Fund or an increase in the prices of securities whichthe Fund plans to purchase. The Fund would sell futures contracts on securitiesindices in anticipation of a fall in stock prices, to offset a decline in the value ofits equity portfolio. When this type of hedging is successful, the futures contractincrease in value while the Fund’s investment portfolio declines in value andthereby keep the Fund’s net asset value from declining as much as it otherwisewould. Similarly, when the Fund is not fully invested, and an increase in theprice of equities is expected, the Fund would purchase futures contracts togain rapid market exposure that may partially or entirely offset increase in thecost of the equity securities it intends to purchase. An interest rate swapagreement (as per guidelines issued by RBI on July 7, 1999 and November 1,1999) from fixed rate to floating rate will be an effective hedge for portfolio in arising interest rate environment.

Example 1.

Hedging against an anticipated rise in equity prices

The scheme has a corpus of Rs.100 crores and has cash of Rs.15 croresavailable to invest. The Fund may buy index futures of a value of Rs.15 crores.The scheme may reduce the exposure to the future contract by taking anoffsetting position as investments are made in the equities, the scheme wantsto invest in. Here, if the market rises, the scheme gains by having invested inthe index futures.

Example 2:- Hedging against anticipated fall in equity prices:-

If the Fund has a negative view on the market and would not like to sell stocksas the market might be weak, the scheme of the Fund can go short on indexfutures. 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 underlyingstocks and this can curtail potential loss in the portfolio.

Risks associated with Derivatives

Derivative products are specialised instruments that require investmenttechniques and risk analysis different from those associated with stocks andbonds. Derivatives require the maintenance of adequate controls to monitorthe transactions entered into, the ability to access the risk that a derivative addto the portfolio and the ability to forecast price of interest rate movementscorrectly. There is a possibility that a loss may be sustained by the portfolio asa result of the failure of another party (usually referred to as the “counterparty”)to comply with the terms of the derivatives contract. Other risks in usingderivatives include the risk of mis-pricing or improper valuation of derivativesand the inability of derivatives to correlate perfectly with underlying assets,rates and indices.

iv. Change in Investment PatternThe Investment Pattern as outlined above is indicative. The Trustee Companymay from time to time modify the investment strategy and pattern providedsuch modification is in accordance with the Scheme objective and Regulationsand as amended from time to time including by way of Circulars, PressReleases, or Notifications issued by SEBI or the Government of India toregulate the activities and growth of Mutual Funds, the intent being to protectthe Net Asset Value of the Scheme and Unitholders’ interests.

The asset allocation pattern may be modified in the interest of investors; andto protect the NAV of the Schemes, however, the same will be reviewed by thetrustee on a quarterly basis and will be rebalanced to its normal position in atime frame as permitted by the trustee. However, the AMC will endeavour toachieve a normal asset allocation pattern in a maximum period of 6 months.

v. Investment in Overseas Financial AssetsIn accordance with the RBI policy announced in October 1997 and theguidelines of the SEBI on overseas Investments, it is the Asset ManagementCompany’s belief that overseas markets offer new investment and portfoliodiversification opportunities into multi-market and multi-currency products.The scheme shall invest in overseas financial assets including GDRs/ ADRs

9

of Indian Companies, Securities issued by Governments of the G7 nations,etc. which in the judgement of the Asset Management Company is eligiblefor investment as part of the scheme’s portfolio and is consistent with theinvestment strategy. The investment in such overseas Financial Assets shallnot exceed the limit as may be imposed by SEBI/ RBI from time to time andshall be within the investment pattern as disclosed in the clause “Investmentpattern and Risk Profile. The investment shall also take into considerationthe country rating assigned by credit rating agencies of international reputesuch as Standard and Poor or Moody etc. as investment grade. For potentialrisks, please refer to the clause on “Investment Risks” under Risk Factors.However, to manage risks associated with foreign currency and interest rateexposure, the Fund may use derivatives for efficient portfolio managementincluding hedging and in accordance with conditions as may be stipulated bythe Regulations / Reserve Bank of India.

As such, all investment restrictions and prudential guidelines relating toinvestments, individually and in aggregate as mentioned in SEBI Regulationsshall, in so far as may be applicable, apply to underwriting commitmentswhich may be undertaken under the Scheme.

These underwriting norms / parameters (as expressed / linked to the netasset/ net asset value/ capital) shall in the ordinary course apply as at thedate of the most recent transaction of commitment to underwrite, and changesdo not have to be effected merely because, owing to appreciations ordepreciations in value or by reason of the receipt of any rights, bonuses orbenefits in the nature of capital or of any scheme of arrangement or foramalgamation, reconstruction or exchange, or at any repayment or redemptionor other reason outside the control of the Fund, any such limits would therebybe breached. If these limits are exceeded for reasons beyond its control,TAMPL shall adopt as a priority objective the remedying of that situation,taking due account of the interests of the Unitholders.

As such all underwriting and sub-underwriting activities of the Fund will beundertaken in accordance with SEBI (Underwriters) Rules and Regulations,1993, and the norms as laid down by SEBI Circular dated June 30, 1994,and as amended from time to time.

x. Portfolio Turnover

“Portfolio Turnover” is the term used by any Mutual Fund for measuring theamount of trading that occurs in a Scheme’s portfolio during the year.

The Scheme is an open-ended scheme. It is expected that there may be anumber of subscriptions and repurchase on a daily basis. Consequently, it isdifficult to estimate with any reasonable measure of accuracy, the likely turnoverin the portfolio. However, a high turnover would significantly affect the brokerageand transaction costs. This will exclude the turnover caused on account of :

– investing the initial subscription,

– subscriptions and redemption undertaken by the unit holders.

The AMC will endeavor to balance the increased cost on account of higherportfolio turnover with the benefits derived there from. A high portfolio turnoverrate is not necessarily a drag on portfolio performance and may be representativeof arbitrate opportunities that exist for scrips/securities held in the portfolio ratherthan an indication of a change in AMC’s view on a scrip, etc.
