Mutual funds are constituted as Trusts.

The mutual fund trust is created by one or more Sponsors,

who are the main persons behind the mutual fund business.

Every trust has beneficiaries. The beneficiaries, in the case ofa mutual fund trust, are the investors.

The operations of the mutual fund trust are governed by a

Trust Deed, which is executed by the sponsors. SEBI has laid

down various clauses that need to be part of the Trust Deed. The Trust acts through its trustees. Therefore, the role of

protecting the beneficiaries (investors) is that of the Trustees.


7/62

Day to day management of the schemes is handled by an

Asset Management Company (AMC). The AMC is appointed

by the sponsor or the Trustees.

Although the AMC manages the schemes, custody of the

assets of the scheme (securities, gold, gold-related

instruments & real estate assets) is with a Custodian, who is

appointed by the Trustees.

The record of investors and their unit-holding may be

maintained by the AMC itself, or it can appoint a Registrar &Transfer Agent (RTA).


8/62


9/62

Islamic unit trust schemes must be supervised by a

Shariah committee or Shariah adviser to ensure that

the fund is managed and administered in accordancewith Shariah principles.

The Shariah Committee should function

independently of trustee and portfolio manager.

6) Pornography7) Tobacco

8) Trading of gold and silver as cash on deferred basis

During the selection process, each companys

audited annual report is reviewed to ensure that the

company is not involved in any non-Shariah

compliant activities. Those that are found to be non-compliant are

screened out.

The above industries are not considered Islamic and

would not be appropriate for investment for

observant Muslims.


18/62

After removing companies with non-compliant

business activities, the rest of the companies are

examined for compliance in financial ratios, as

certain ratios may violate compliance measurements.

Three areas of focus are leverage, cash, and the

share of revenues derived from non-compliant

activities. All of these are subject to evaluation on an ongoing

basis.


19/62

This compliance is measured as:

Debt / Market Value of Equity (12 Month

average) < 33 %


20/62

One-third (33%) is representative of preponderancemay be derived from a hadith, related by Bukhari, inwhich Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: ...Then a third.And a third is a great deal, when he was asked how

much ofones estate a person may bequeath to someone other than the prescribed heirs. (It should bestated emphatically here that this formula is one thatapplies to investors interested in companies offeringshares on the international market over which Muslims

have no control. It should not be understood as anendorsement of the practice, by Muslim-ownedbusinesses, of interest-based borrowing.)


21/62

There are compliances with reference to cash

holdings. These are:

1) Accounts Receivables / Market value of

Equity (12 Month average) < 49 %

2) (Cash + Interest Bearing Securities) / Market

value of Equity (12 Month average)


22/62

In certain cases, revenues from non compliant

activities are permissible, if they comply with

the following threshold:

(Non-Permissible Income other than Interest

Income) / Revenue < 5%


23/62

This ratio is provided to investors for

purification purposes, it is calculated as:

Dividends * (Non Permissible Revenue / Total

Revenue)


24/62

As soon as any new information regarding aconstituent company is collected, compliance isreviewed.

RI (Ratings Intelligence) provides the compliance data

to Standard & Poors via a monthly compliance report. A daily screening report is checked by RI and provided

to the Shariah supervisory board.

A member of the Shariah board signs off on a monthlybasis.

Standard & Poors reviews the monthly report and,accordingly, removes any existing constituents for non-compliance.

Muad (R) reports from Prophet (SAW): It will becollected from the rich among you and given backto the poor among you.

assessed by comparing it with the systems during the
