All the points m entioned in the Standard Observations have been included in this Schem e Inform ation
Docum ent.
This Schem e Information Docum ent contains no deviations from, and neither have any subjective
interpretations been applied to, the provisions of any regulations. All contents in this Schem e Information
Docum ent have been check ed and are factually correct.
No person is authorized to give any inform ation or to make any repres entation not consistent with this
Schem e Information Docum ent in connection with the issue of units of LICMF Unit Linked Insurance

than 25% of the corpus of the Schem e/Plan(s). Howev er, if such limit is breached during the NFO of
the Schem e, the Fund will endeavor to ensure that within a period of three m onths or the end of the
succeeding calendar quarter from the close of the NFO of the Schem e, whichever is earlier, the
Schem e com plies with these two conditions. In case the Schem e / Plan(s) does not have a minimum
of 20 investors in the stipulated period, the provisions of Regulation 39(2)(c) of the SEBI (MF)
Regulations would becom e applicable automatically without any referenc e from SEBI and accordingly
the Schem e / Plan(s) shall be wound up and the units would be redeem ed at applicable NAV. The two
conditions m entioned above shall also be complied within each subsequent calendar quarter
thereafter, on an average basis, as specified by SEBI. If there is a breach of the 25% limit by any
investor over the quarter, a rebalancing period of one m onth would be allowed and thereafter the
investor who is in breach of the rule shall be given 15 days notice to redeem his exposur e over the 25
% limit. Failure on the part of the said investor to redeem his exposure over the 25 % limit within the
aforesaid 15 days would lead to autom atic redem ption by the Mutual Fund on the applicable Net

The Sch em e m ay also invest in Govt. Securities, which may be those supported by the ability to
borrow from the treasury; those with sovereign or state guarantee or those supported by the state
govt. or the govt. of India in som e other way.
The Fund m ay invest, subject to necessary approvals, in ADR’s / GDR’s of Indian Com panies listed
overseas. The Fund will em ploy necessary m easures to m anage foreign exchange m ovem ents arising
out of such investm ents. The Fund m ay also invest in overseas securities with the approval of
RBI/SEBI, subject to such guidelines as may be issued by RBI/SEBI.
The Fund m ay also use trading in derivatives for the purpose of hedging and portfolio balancing in
accordance with SEBI regulations.
Changes in investment pattern:
Dep ending upon the m arket conditions, m arket opportunities available, the political and econom ic
factors and subject to the Regulations, the percentage investm ents of the fund may vary at tim es,
based on the perception of the Fund Manager within the overall investm ent objective of the schem e.
Investm ent of subscription money:
Pending deploym ent of funds of the schem e in securities in terms of investm ent objectives of the
schem e, the AMC can invest th e funds of the s chem e in m oney m arket instrum ents. The incom e
earn ed on such investm ents will be m erged with the incom e of the schem e.
E. INVESTM ENT STRATEGIES
Approach to investment in equity:
The investm ent approach for investing in equities would be to identify companies with a strong
com petitive position in a good business and h aving quality m anagem ent. The focus would on
fundam entally driven investm ent with scope for future growth.
Approach to investment in debt:
The investm ent in debt securities will usually be in instrum ents, which have been assigned as
investm ent grade ratings by a recognized cr edit rating agency. In case a debt instrum ent is not rated,
prior approval of Board of directors will be obtained for such investm ents. The Maturity profile of debt
instrum ents will be selected in line with the outlook for the m arket. The investm ent strategy would
em phasize investm ents in securities that give consistent returns at low levels of risks.
If the Schem e d ecides to invest in Securitized Debt and or Asset backed securities it is the intention of
the investm ent m anager that such investm ents will not norm ally exceed 30% of the corpus of the
Schem e.
Trading in derivatives:
The Sch em e m ay use derivatives with respect to equities and debt in accordance with SEBI
regulations in an attem pt to protect the portfolio values and unit holder interest. The AMC in
appropriate circumstances m ay use futures, options and other d erivatives subject to applicable
regulations and counter party risk assessm ent as and when they becom e permissible in the Indian
markets subject to necessary authorisation.
In addition subject to applicable regulations and counter party risk assessm ent the sch em e m ay also
borrow or lend stock.
The value of the d erivative contracts outstanding will be limited to 20% of the net ass ets of the
Schem e.
Trading in derivatives shall however b e restricted to hedging and portfolio balancing purposes as
illustrated in the following cases:
INDEX FUTURES:
a) When the Investm ent Manager takes a negative view on the m arket:
W hen the investm ent m anager anticipates the m arket to fall from its current levels, he needs to
reduce his exposure to equities. He m ay do so by taking a short position in index futures i.e. by
selling the index forward ther eby r educing the m arket risk and volatility of the portfolio. He can
unwind his position by concurrently selling equities from the investm ent portfolio and
sim ultaneously reverse his position on the index.
b) When the Investm ent Manager takes a positive view on the market:
W hen the investm ent manager anticipates rise from the current market levels, the investm ent
manager needs to m ake the m ost of the opportunity he foresees. The Sch em e being open-end ed
would witness a daily inflow of funds, which in the above case n eed to b e d eployed on a n
10
imm ediate basis. In such a situation the Investm ent Manager would take a long position in index
futures i.e. he would buy the index and then grad ually revers e his position as the funds actually
get invested in the m arket.
The following table illustrates the underlying effects of derivative trading we assum e a equity corpus of
Rs. 100 crore and a 20% Hedge i.e. futures contract value of Rs. 20 crore

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RISKS
The strategy of taking a short position in index futures is a hedging strategy and reduces the m arket
risk. The short position is negatively correlated with the m arket and the price of the contract may go up
or down depending on m arket conditions. There is no assurance that the stocks in the portfolio and the
index b ehav e in the sam e way and thus this strategy m ay not be a perfect hedge.
The short position will have as m uch loss as a gain in the underlying index. E.g. if the index
appreciates by 10%, the future valu e falls by 10%. Howev er, this is true for futures contracts held till
maturity. In the ev ent that a futures contract is closed out before its expiry, the quoted price of the
futures contract m ay be different from the gain/loss due to the m ovem ent of the underlying index. This
is called the basis risk.
W hile futures markets are typically more liquid than the underlying cash m arket, there can be no
assurance that ready liquidity would exist at all points in tim e, for the Schem e to purchase or close out
a specific futures contract.
Debt M arket Derivatives:
The d eregulation of interest rates has resulted in presenting an assortm ent of risks to market
participants. To provide an effective h edg e against interest rate risks on account of lending or
borrowings m ade at fixed/variable rates of interest, RBI has allowed the use of such instrum ents as the
Interest Rate swaps (IRS) and Forward Rate Agreem ents (FRAs).
IRS: An IRS is an off balance sheet contract between two counterparties to exchang e a stream of
paym ents on specified dates based on a notional principal.
Pres ently the m ost common form of IRS in the dom estic market is the Overnight Index Swap (OIS),
wher ein a fixed rate is exchang ed with the floating leg linked to the MIBOR (Mum bai Interbank offered
rate/ the call money rate). The tenure of the OIS ranges from 2 to 365 days.
E.g.: The schem e m ay park its funds in the call money m arket from tim e to tim e. The schem e thus
becom es a lend er in the m arket. Say Y - a corporate is a borrower in the call m oney m arket. Suppose
the Fund m anager of the schem e has a view that overnight rates m ay fall, while Y exp ects volatility
and is looking to hedge or lock into a fixed rate. Now the schem e is a fixed rate receiver and Y is the
floating rate receiver. Consider a 3 day OIS at 8.25% for a notional principal of Rs. 1 Crore between
the two.
Now the sch em e would rec eive a fixed rate from Y on the notional principal of Rs. 1 Crore@8.25% for
3 days = Rs. 6780/-.
The sch em e in turn would have to pay Y th e floating rate of interest on th e sam e principal of Rs. 1
Crore which is calculated as follows:
———————————————————————————————
DAY MIBOR PRINCIPAL INTEREST AMOUNT
(%) (Rs.) (Rs.) (Rs.)
———————————————————————————————
1 8.00 10000000 2192 10002192
2 8.25 10002192 2261 10004453
3 7.75 10004453 2124 10006577
———————————————————————————————
TOTAL 6577
———————————————————————————————
As shown in the table the schem e will be required to pay Y a sum of Rs. 6577/-.
Instead of exchanging the gross am ounts Y will pay the sch em e the differenc e am ount i.e. 6780-6577=
Rs. 203.
11
Thus at the end of the swap th e sch em e has earn ed a fixed rate while Y has b een able to fix the cost
of its funds irrespective of the m ovem ents in the m arket.
FRA(forward rate agreem ent): A FRA is a cash settled agreem ent where 2 parties (the buyer and the
seller) agree to exchang e interest paym ents for a notional principal amount for a specified period on a
settlem ent date. A FRA is quoted by the forward month in which it m atures, for e.g. A 3x6 FRA is a
contract maturing 6 months from now and starting 3 m onths from now.
E.g.: Suppose the schem e has exposure to 91 day T Bills and the Fund manager takes a view that the
yields are going to fall, then using FRAs he can lock into the available rates. Assum e that on the last
day of a given month the spot 91 day T Bill rate is 9.50% and the 3x6 FRA is quoted at 9.40%/9.60 %.
Assum ing a notional principal of 10 Crore the schem e now rec eives fixed 9.40% (and pays the 91 day
T bill rate 3 m onths from now) on the 3x6 FRA for a notional principal of RS. 10 crore. On the
settlem ent date the schem e rec eives the fixed rate from the swap market m aker and pays the floating
rate.
Assum ing the fund m anager’s view is correct and the 91day T-Bill cut off, 3 months from now is 9.25%
then the schem e r eceiv es - Rs.2343562 and pa ys Rs.2306164.The difference Rs.37397 is to be
discounted to settlem ent at a mutually negotiated rate based on the credit of the counter-party.
Assum ing a discounted rate of 10% the actual cash settlem ent =37397/(1+10%)^91/365=Rs. 36488/-
RISKS:
Though these instrum ents are effective in rem oval of the interest rate risk they are still subject to
1. Counterparty risks i.e. default or delay in paym ent settlem ent, as well as
Market risks i.e. liquidity risk which is the ease with which a swap can b e unwound or rev ers ed, basis
risk which is the risk of asset liability mism atch and price risk resulting from unexpect ed changes in
the m arket value of the swap.
Risk control
The ov erall portfolio structuring will be aim ed at controlling risk at a m oderate lev el. Both very
aggressive and v ery def ensive postures would be avoided under norm al m arket conditions. The risk
would also be m inimized through broad diversification of portfolio within the fram ework of the
investm ent objectives of the schem e.
INVESTM ENT BY LICM F UNIT LINKED INSURANCE SCHEM E (LICM F ULIS) IN OTHER SCHEM ES
M ANAGED BY THE AM C:
LICMF Unit Linked Insurance Sch em e (LICMF ULIS) m ay invest its funds with other schem es m anaged
by LICMFAMC subject to regulations 44(1) of the SEBI Regulations 1996 and the AMC shall not charge
any investm ent m anagem ent fee for such investm ents.
PORTFOLIO TURNOVER:
Generally the AMC’s Fund m anagem ent encourages a low portfolio turnover rate. A high portfolio
turnover m ay result in an increase in transaction, brokerage costs. Howev er a high portfolio turnover
may also be repres entative of the arising trading opportunities to enhance th e total return of the
portfolio.
UNDERWRITING
Subject to SEBI Regulations, the Schem e m ay enter into underwriting agreem ents. The Capital Adequacy
norm s for the purpose of underwriting shall be the net assets of the Sch em e and the und erwriting obligation of
the schem e shall not at any tim e exc eed the total net asset value of the Schem e.
