The funds collected under the Scheme shall be invested in equities, cumulative convertible preference shares and fully convertible debentures and bonds of companies. Investment may be made in partly convertible debentures and bonds including those issued on a rights basis subject to the condition that, as far as possible, the non convertible portion of the debenture so acquired or subscribed shall be disinvested within a period of 12 months. It shall be ensured that funds of the Scheme shall remain invested to the extent of atleast 80% in securities specified above. In exceptional circumstances, this requirement may be dispensed with by the AMC, in order that the interest of the Unit holders are protected. Pending investment of funds of the Scheme in the required manner, the AMC may invest the funds of the Scheme in shortterm money market instruments or other liquid instruments or both. After 3 years from the date of allotment of the Units, the Mutual Fund may hold upto 20% of net assets of the Scheme in short-term money market instruments. The investment approach will be based on a set of well established but flexible principles that emphasise the concept of sustainable economic earnings and cash return on investment as the means of valuation of companies. |
