• The terms defined in this SID includes the plural as well as the singular.
• Pronouns having a masculine or feminine gender shall be deemed to include the other.
I. INTRODUCTION
• Mutual Fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully.
• Investment in Mutual Fund Scheme Units involves investment risks such as trading volumes, settlement risk, liquidity risk, default risk including
the possible loss of principal.
• As the price / value / interest rates of the gold and / or securities in which the scheme invests fluctuates, the value of units of the scheme may
go up or down depending upon the factors affecting the stock market and/or bullion markets.
• Mutual Funds and securities investments are subject to market risks and there can be no assurance and no guarantee that the Scheme will
achieve its objective.
• As with any investment in stocks, shares and securities, the NAV of the Units under this Scheme can go up or down, depending on the factors
and forces affecting the capital markets.
• Past performance of the previous Schemes, the Sponsors or its Group / Affiliates / AMC / Mutual Fund is not indicative of and does not guarantee
the future performance of the Scheme.
• The sponsors are not responsible or liable for any loss resulting from the operations of the scheme beyond the initial contribution of Rs. 1 lakh
made by them towards setting up of the mutual fund.
• Tata Gold Exchange Traded Fund is only the name of the Scheme and does not in any manner indicate either the quality of the Scheme, its
future prospects or the returns. Investors therefore are urged to study the terms of the scheme carefully and consult their Tax and Investment
Advisor before investing in the Scheme.
• Tata Gold Exchange Traded Fund is not guaranteed or assured return scheme.
• In the event of receipt of an inordinately large number of redemption requests or of a restructuring of any of the Scheme’s portfolio, there may
be delays in the redemption of Units.
• Different types of securities/ assets in which the Scheme would invest as given in the SID carry different levels and types of risk. Accordingly,
the Scheme’s risk may increase or decrease depending upon its investment pattern.
• Investment decisions made by the AMC may not always be profitable.
As per provision no. 3.2.7.1 read with provision no. 3.3.10.2 of SEBI Master Circular on Mutual Funds dated May 19, 2023, Market risk due to volatility
in gold prices: The value of the Units relates directly to the value of the underlying gold held by the Scheme and fluctuations in the price of gold could
adversely affect the investment value of the Units. The price of gold may fluctuate due to various factors such as: –
i) Global gold supplies and demand, which is influenced by factors such as forward selling by gold producers, purchases made by gold
producers to unwind gold hedge positions, central bank purchases and sales, and productions and cost levels in major gold producing
countries such as the South Africa, the United States, Australia and China.
ii) Investor’s expectations with respect to the rate of inflation.
iii) Currency exchange rates.
iv) Interest rates
v) Investment and trading activities of commodity funds/hedge funds.
vi) Global or regional political, economic or financial events and situations.
In addition, there is no assurance that gold will maintain its long-term value in terms of purchasing power in the future. In the event that the price of
gold declines, the value of investment in units in which the scheme has invested will, in general, decline proportionately.
There may be certain circumstances that may motivate large scale sales of gold which could decrease the price of gold and adversely affect an
investment in the Units.
Portfolio Concentration Risk: To the extent that the Scheme may concentrate its investments in gold and gold-related instrument(s), the Scheme will
therefore be subject to the risks associated with such concentration.
As per provision no. 3.2.7.1 read with provision no. 3.3.10.3 of SEBI Master Circular on Mutual Funds dated May 19, 2023, Liquidity risks in physical
or derivative markets impairing the ability of the fund to buy and sell Gold: Commodities tend to be more volatile than other instruments. This may
have an impact on liquidity. Liquidity considerations may have a price basis risk. Liquidity risks may arise due to issues related to the supply chain
which affects the availability of Gold. During an undetermined situation, similar to what happened during the pandemic, transportation all over the
world had come to a standstill. Financial markets had experienced extreme volatility and severe losses, and trading in many instruments had been
disrupted. Liquidity for many instruments had been greatly reduced for periods of time, and most commodities were in short supply resulting in illiquid
markets for most commodities including gold. The lack of liquidity in the physical market may also arise due to seasonality of demand and supply or
volatility prices. Lastly, government regulations including change in taxation or duties levied on gold may affect the demand and supply and may affect
the liquidity.

SID - Tata Gold Exchange Traded Fund
The Scheme’s gold may be subject to loss, damage, theft or restriction on access. There is a risk that part or all of the Scheme’s gold could be lost,
damaged or stolen. Access to the Scheme’s gold could also be restricted by natural events (such as earthquake) or human actions (such as terrorist
attack). Any of these actions may adversely affect the operations of the scheme and consequently an investment in units.
As per provision no. 3.2.7.1 read with provision no. 3.3.10.4 of SEBI Master Circular on Mutual Funds dated May 19, 2023, Risks associated with
handling, storing and safekeeping of physical gold: Currently, all physical gold procured must follow the LBMA (London Bullion Market Association)
guidelines as per prescribed SEBI guidelines. Risk arises when part or all of the gold held by the Scheme could be lost, stolen or damaged and access
to gold may be restricted due to natural calamities or human actions, loss or damage directly or indirectly occasioned by, happening through or in
consequence of war, invasion, acts of foreign enemies, hostilities (whether war be declared or not), civil war, rebellion, revolution, insurrection, military
or usurped power. Loss due to aridity, humidity, exposure to light or extremes of temperature. Hence, the Custodian maintains insurance in regard to
the business on terms and conditions and the custodian is also responsible for all costs arising from the insurance policies. The custodian taking
delivery on behalf of the AMC needs to ensure the weight, purity, and the source of gold as specified under the LBMA guidelines.
Factors such as the fees and expenses of the Scheme, Corporate Actions, Cash balance, changes to the Underlying benchmark and regulatory
policies may affect scheme/ Fund Managers ability to achieve close correlation with the Underlying benchmark of the Scheme. The Scheme’s returns
may therefore deviate from those of its Underlying benchmark, generally known as “Tracking Error” risk.
The annualized standard deviation of the difference in daily returns between the underlying benchmark and the NAV of the scheme based on past
one year rolling data shall not exceed 2%. In case of unavoidable circumstances in the nature of force majeure, which are beyond the control of the
AMCs, the tracking error may exceed 2% and the same shall be brought to the notice of Trustees with corrective actions taken by the AMC, if any.
Index in existence for a period of less than one year, the annualized standard deviation shall be calculated based on available data. However, Tracking
Error of Index is likely to be low as compared to a normal index fund.
To the extent that some funds may be deployed in Debt/Money Market Operations, the Scheme will be subject to risks relating to such deployment /
operations and may also contribute to tracking errors.
The Scheme is subject to the principal risks described below. Some or all of these risks may adversely affect Scheme’s NAV, trading price, yield, total
return and/or its ability to meet its objectives.
Investment Risks
The price of gold & other securities may go up or down depending on a variety of factors and hence investors may note that AMC/Fund Manager’s
investment decisions may not be always profitable. Although it is intended to generate returns that, before expenses of the Scheme, track the
performance of domestic prices of Gold, subject to tracking error and utilizing debt and money market instruments as a defensive investment strategy.
The price of securities may be affected generally by factors affecting capital markets such as price and volume, volatility in the stock markets, interest
rates, currency exchange rates, foreign investment, changes in Government and Reserve Bank of India policy, taxation, political, economic or other
developments, closure of the Stock Exchanges etc. Investors should understand that the investment pattern indicated, in line with prevailing market
conditions, is only a hypothetical example as all investments involve risk and there is no assurance that the Fund’s investment objective will be
attained or that the Fund may not be in a position to maintain the indicated percentage of investment pattern under exceptional circumstances. There
is no guarantee the investment / dis-investment decision will result into profit.
Market Risk
The Scheme’s NAV will react to the price of the gold in domestic market. The Investor could lose money over short periods due to fluctuation in the
Scheme’s NAV in response to factors such as economic and political developments and changes in interest rates.
Regulatory Risk
Any changes in trading regulations by the stock exchange (s) or SEBI, may affect the trading volume of the units of the scheme. Changes in
government policy in general and changes in tax benefits applicable to Mutual Funds or gold and gold related instruments may impact the returns to
investors in the Scheme.
Liquidity Risk
Trading in units of Tata Gold Exchange Traded Fund on the Exchange may be halted because of market conditions or for reasons that in the view of
the Market Authorities or SEBI, trading in units of the scheme is not advisable. In addition, trading in units of Tata Gold Exchange Traded Fund are
subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility and pursuant to NSE and SEBI ‘‘circuit filter’’ rules. There can be no assurance that
the requirements of the Market necessary to maintain the listing of units of Tata Gold Exchange Traded Fund will continue to be met or will remain
unchanged. The Trustee, in the general interest of the unit holders of the Scheme offered under this scheme and keeping in view of the unforeseen
circumstances/unusual market conditions, may limit the total number of Units which can be redeemed on any Business Day, subject to SEBI approval.
Settlement Risk
In certain cases, settlement periods may be extended significantly by unforeseen circumstances. The inability of the Scheme to make intended
securities purchases due to settlement problems could cause the Scheme to miss certain investment opportunities as in certain cases, settlement
periods may be extended significantly by unforeseen circumstances. Similarly, the inability to sell securities held in the Schemes portfolio may result,
at times, in potential losses to the Schemes, and there can be a subsequent decline in the value of the securities held in the respective Scheme’s
portfolio.
As with money instruments, changes in interest rate may affect the price of the money market instrument(s) and ultimately Scheme’s net asset value.
Generally, the prices of instruments increase as interest rates decline and decrease as interest rates rise. Prices of long-term securities fluctuate more
in response to such interest rate changes than short-term securities. Indian debt and government securities markets can be volatile leading to the
possibility of price movements up or down in fixed income securities and thereby to possible movements in the NAV.

SID - Tata Gold Exchange Traded Fund
Credit Risk
Credit risk or Default risk refers to the risk that an issuer of a fixed income security may default (i.e., the issuer will be unable to make timely principal
and interest payments on the security). Because of this risk corporate debentures are sold at a higher yield above those offered on Government
Securities which are sovereign obligations and free of credit risk. Normally, the value of fixed income securities will fluctuate depending upon the
changes in the perceived level of credit risk as well as any actual event of default. The greater the credit risk, the greater the yield required for someone
to be compensated for the increased risk.
Reinvestment Risk
This risk refers to the difference in the interest rate levels at which cash flows received from the securities in the scheme is reinvested. The additional
income from reinvestment is the “interest on interest” component. The risk is that the rate at which interim cash flows are reinvested may be lower
than that originally assumed.
The Scheme may take exposures to Exchange Traded Commodity Derivatives (ETCDs) with gold as underlying.
• Derivative products are leverage instruments and can provide disproportionate gains as well as disproportionate losses to the investors.
Execution of such strategies depends upon the ability of the Fund Manager to identify such opportunities. Identification and execution of the
strategies to be pursued by the Fund Manager involved uncertainty and decision of Fund Manager may not always be profitable. No assurance
can be given that the Fund Manager will be able to identify or execute such strategies.
• Derivative products are specialized instruments that require investment techniques and risk analysis different from those associated with stocks
and bonds. Derivatives require the maintenance of adequate controls to monitor the transactions entered into, the ability to assess the risk that
a derivative add to the portfolio and the ability to forecast price of securities being hedged and interest rate movements correctly. There is a
possibility that a loss may be sustained by the portfolio as a 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 using derivatives include the risk of mis-pricing or improper valuation of derivatives
and the inability of derivatives to correlate perfectly with underlying assets, rates and indices.
• The risks associated with the use of derivatives are different from or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities
and other traditional investments”.
Liquidity Risk: While ETCDs that are listed on an exchange carry lower liquidity risk, the ability to sell these contracts is limited by the overall trading
volume on the exchanges. The liquidity of the Schemes investments is inherently restricted by trading volumes of the ETCD contracts in which it
invests. Additionally, change in margin requirements or intervention by government agencies to reduce overall volatility in the underlying commodity
could lead to adverse impact on the liquidity of the ETCD.
Price risk: ETCDs are leveraged instruments hence, a small price movement in the underlying security could have a large impact on their value. Also,
the market for ETCDs is nascent in India hence, arbitrages can occur between the price of the physical commodity and the ETCD, due to a variety of
reasons such as technical issues and volatile movement in the price of the physical good. This can result in mispricing and improper valuation of
investment decisions as it can be difficult to ascertain the amount of the arbitrage.
Settlement risk: ETCDs can be settled either through the exchange or physically. The inability to sell ETCDs held in the Schemes’ portfolio in the
exchanges due to the extraneous factors may impact liquidity and would result in losses, at times, in case of adverse price movement. Wherein the
underlying commodity is physically delivered in order to settle the derivative contract, such settlement could get impacted due to various issues, such
as logistics, Government policy for trading in such commodities.
Listing the units of the fund does not necessarily guarantee their liquidity and there can be no assurance that an active secondary market for the
units will develop or be maintained. Consequently, the Fund may quote below its face value / NAV.
Trading in Units of the Scheme on the Exchange may be halted because of market conditions or for reasons that in view of Exchange Authorities or
SEBI, trading in Units of the Scheme is not advisable. In addition, trading in Units of the Scheme is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary
market volatility and pursuant to Exchange and SEBI ‘circuit filter’ rules. There can be no assurance that the requirements of Exchange necessary to
maintain the listing of Units of the Scheme will continue to be met or will remain unchanged. Any changes in trading regulations by the Stock
Exchange(s) or SEBI may inter-alia result in wider premium/ discount to NAV. The Units of the Scheme may trade above or below their NAV. The
NAV of the Scheme will fluctuate with changes in the market value of Scheme’s holdings. The trading prices of Units of the Scheme will fluctuate in
accordance with changes in their NAV as well as market supply and demand for the Units of the Scheme. However, the Units of the Scheme can be
subscribed / redeemed in Creation Unit Size directly with the Fund, which provides efficient arbitrage between the traded prices and the NAV, thereby
reducing the incidence of the units of the Scheme being traded at premium/discounts to NAV. However, any changes in the trading regulations by
NSE/Stock Exchange/SEBI may affect the ability of the market makers to arbitrage resulting into wider premium or discount to NAV. The Units will be
issued in demat form through depositories. The records of the depository are final with respect to the number of Units available to the credit of Unit
holder. Settlement of trades, repurchase of Units by the Mutual Fund will depend upon the confirmations to be received from depository(ies) on which
the Mutual Fund has no control.
The market price of the Units of the Scheme, like any other listed security, is largely dependent on two factors, viz., (1) the intrinsic value of the Unit
(or NAV), and (2) demand and supply of Units in the market. Sizeable demand or supply of the Units in the Exchange may lead to market price of
the Units to quote at premium or discount to NAV.
Investors holding units of segregated portfolio may not be able to liquidate their holding till the time recovery of money from the issuer. Security
comprises of segregated portfolio may not realise any value.
Listing units of segregated portfolio in recognized stock exchange does not necessarily guarantee their liquidity. There may not be active trading of
units in the stock market. Further the trading price of units on the stock market may be significantly lower than the prevailing NAV.

SID - Tata Gold Exchange Traded Fund
Redemption Risk
Investors may note that even though this is an open-ended scheme, the Scheme would repurchase/redeem Units in Creation Unit Size only. Thus,
unit holdings less than the Creation Unit Size can only be sold through the secondary market on the Stock Exchange where these units are listed,
subject to the rules and regulations of the Exchange.
Risks associated with investing in Securities Segment and Tri-party Repo trade settlement:
The mutual fund is a member of securities segment and Tri-party Repo trade settlement of the Clearing Corporation of India (CCIL). All transactions
of the mutual fund in government securities and in Tri-party Repo trades are settled centrally through the infrastructure and settlement systems
provided by CCIL; thus, reducing the settlement and counterparty risks considerably for transactions in the said segments. The members are required
to contribute an amount as communicated by CCIL from time to time to the default fund maintained by CCIL as a part of the default waterfall (a loss
mitigating measure of CCIL in case of default by any member in settling transactions routed through CCIL). CCIL shall maintain two separate Default
Funds in respect of its Securities Segment, one with a view to meet losses arising out of any default by its members from outright and repo trades
and the other for meeting losses arising out of any default by its members from Triparty Repo trades. The mutual fund is exposed to the extent of its
contribution to the default fund of CCIL, in the event that the contribution of the mutual fund is called upon to absorb settlement/default losses of
another member by CCIL, as a result the scheme may lose an amount equivalent to its contribution to the default fund.
The Scheme by utilizing a holistic risk management strategy will endeavor to manage risks associated with investing in gold and gold-related
instruments. The risk control process involves identifying & measuring the risk through various risk measurement tools. The Scheme has identified
the following risks of investing in gold and gold-related instruments and designed risk management strategies, which are embedded in the investment
process to manage such risks.
As per provision no. 6.11 of SEBI Master Circular on Mutual Funds dated May 19, 2023, with respect to minimum number of investors and no single
investor shall account for more than 25% of the corpus of the Scheme are not applicable to exchange traded funds and hence do not apply to Tata
Gold Exchange Traded Fund.
C. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

Fund may disclose details of the investor’s account and transactions there under to those intermediaries whose stamp appears on the application
form or who have been designated as such by the investor. In addition, the Mutual Fund may disclose such details to the bankers, as may be

SID - Tata Gold Exchange Traded Fund
The investment objective of the fund is to generate returns that are in line with the performance of physical gold in domestic prices, subject to tracking
error. However, there is no assurance or guarantee that the investment objective of the Scheme will be achieved.
How the fund is different from other existing schemes of Tata Mutual Fund:
Tata Gold Exchange Traded Fund, an open-ended exchange traded fund is an exchange traded fund and is not a minor modification of any other
existing scheme/ product offered by Tata Mutual Fund. The scheme is a passively managed exchange traded fund. Currently, Tata Mutual Fund has
three Exchange Traded Fund i.e., Tata Nifty 50 Exchange Traded Fund, Tata Nifty Private Bank Exchange Traded Fund and Tata Nifty India Digital
Exchange Traded Fund. All these three schemes track different indices.
Below mentioned is the comparison of this fund with another existing scheme/s in the same category (i.e. Exchange Traded Fund) of Tata Mutual
Fund:
Indicative allocations
Risk Profile
(% of total assets)
Instruments
Minimum Maximum Low/Medium/High
# As per provision no. 3.2.1 of SEBI Master Circular on Mutual Funds dated May 19, 2023, gold related instruments are such instruments having gold
as underlying including but not limited Gold Deposit Scheme (GDS) / Gold Monetisation Scheme (GMS), 2015, Exchange Traded Commodity
Derivatives (ETCDs) & other such instruments as specified by SEBI & applicable from time to time. The cumulative exposure to gold related
instruments i.e. GDS of banks, GMS and ETCD having gold as the underlying shall not exceed 50% of net asset value of the scheme. However,
within the 50% limit, the investment limit for GDS of banks and GMS as part of gold related instrument shall not exceed 20% of net asset value of the
scheme. The unutilized portion of the limit for GDS of banks and GMS can be utilized for ETCD having gold as the underlying. (CSO 19, 20)
Certificates issued in respect of investments made by GETFs in GDS of banks and GMS can be held by the mutual funds in dematerialized or physical
form.
^ A small portion of the net assets will be invested in debt and money market instruments to meet the liquidity requirements of the Scheme.
(CSO 13, 19, 21)The scheme may invest in units of liquid / money market / debt mutual fund schemes of Tata Mutual Fund or in the Scheme(s) of
other mutual funds in conformity with the investment objective/ asset allocation of the Scheme. It may be noted that the margin placed for taking
13
SID - Tata Gold Exchange Traded Fund
exposure to ETCDs are generally lower than the ETCD exposure limit considered for the purposes of monitoring investment limits and therefore, the
residual cash (i.e. ETCD exposure less placement of margin towards participation in ETCDs) are placed in cash and cash equivalents in the interest
of investors. The said placement in cash and cash equivalents shall not be considered as part of the limit of 0% to 5% allocated towards Debt &
Money Market Instruments including units of Mutual Funds. (CSO 19)
The Margin may be placed in the form of such securities/instruments/deposits as may be permitted/eligible to be placed as margin from the assets of
the Scheme. The securities/instruments/deposits so placed as margin shall be classified under the applicable category of assets for the purposes of
asset allocation.
(CSO 17) The cumulative gross exposure through gold, gold related instruments, debt including money market instruments, exchange traded
commodities derivative positions with gold as underlying, other permitted securities/assets and such other securities/assets as may be permitted by
SEBI & made applicable from time to time should not exceed 100% of the net assets of the scheme. Cash or cash equivalents with residual maturity
of less than 91 days may be treated as not creating any exposure. Cash equivalent means Government Securities, TBills & Repo on Government
Securities. (CSO 14)
As per clause 4 of Seventh Schedule of SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations 1996, the scheme may invest in another scheme under the same asset
management company or any other mutual fund without charging any fees, provided that aggregate inter-scheme investment made by all schemes
under the same management or in schemes under the management of any other asset management company shall not exceed 5% of the net asset
value of the mutual fund.
It may be noted that no prior intimation/indication would be given to investors when the composition/asset allocation pattern under the Scheme
undergo changes within the permitted band as indicated above or for changes due to defensive positioning of the portfolio with a view to protect the
interest of the unitholders on a temporary basis. The investors/unitholders can ascertain details of asset allocation of the Scheme as on the last date
of each month on AMC‟s. website at www.tatamutualfund.com that will display the asset allocation of the Scheme as on the given day.
Investors may note that securities, which endeavor to provide higher returns typically, display higher volatility. Accordingly, the investment portfolio of
the Scheme would reflect moderate to high volatility in its Gold related investments and low to moderate volatility in its debt and money market
investments.
Change in Investment Pattern
Being a passively managed open-ended exchange traded fund, changes in investment pattern are normally not foreseen. However, for short durations
part of the corpus may remain pending for deployment, in cases of extreme market conditions, special events or corporate events. The Fund Manager,
with the intention to protect the interests of the unit holders may change the investment pattern for short term and defensive considerations. (reference
1.14.1.2 of SEBI Master Circular on Mutual Fund dated May 19, 2023). (CSO 23)
Deployment of NFO Proceeds in Triparty Repo or any other instrument as may be permitted by SEBI:
In accordance with provision no. 1.10.3 of SEBI Master Circular on Mutual Fund dated May 19, 2023, the scheme may deploy NFO proceeds, before
closure of NFO period, in ‘The Clearing Corporation of India Ltd.’s (CCIL) TREPS’. AMCs will not charge any investment management and advisory
fees on funds deployed in Triparty repo on Government Securities. The appreciation received from such investments shall be passed on to investors.
Further, in case the minimum subscription amount is not garnered by the scheme’s during the NFO period, the interest earned upon investment of
NFO proceeds in such instruments shall be returned to investors, in proportion of their investments, along-with the refund of the subscription amount.
Overview of Debt Market:
The major players in the Indian Debt Markets are banks, financial institutions, insurance companies and mutual funds. The instruments in the
market can be broadly categorized as those issued by corporate, banks, financial institutions and those issuedby state/central governments.
The risk associated with any investments are – credit risk, interest rate risks and liquidity risk. While corporate papers carry credit risk due to
changing business conditions, government securities are perceived to have zero credit risk. Interest rate risk is present in all debt securities
and depends on a variety of macroeconomic factors. The liquidity risk in corporate securities market is higher compared to those of government
securities. The liquidity risk in corporate securities market is higher compared to those of government securities. Liquidity in the corporate debt
market has been improving due to the entry of more players and due to various measures taken by the regulators to increase the liquidity and
transparency such as introduction of repo in corporate bonds, Credit Default Swaps, compulsory reporting of secondary market OTC transactions
on exchange platforms to name a few. Moreover, the recent successful e introduction of Interest Rate Future in the benchmark 10-year
Government Bond will also likely to increase the depth in the debt market.
The market participants in the corporate debt and gilt markets are banks, financial institutions, mutual funds, corporates, insurance companies,
FIIs, primary dealers and provident funds. The main debt instruments in the market are those issued by Corporates and State/Central
Governments. Corporate papers carry credit risk while government securities are believed to carry no credit risk. The main risks with investments
in debt securities are interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Interest rate risk associated with debt instruments depend on the
macroeconomic environment. It includes both market price changes due to change in yields as wellas coupon reinvestment rate risk. Corporate
papers carry higher liquidity risk as compared to gilts due to the depth of the gilt market.
Money Market:
Money market encompasses a wide range of instruments with maturities ranging from one day to a year, issued by Government, Banks and
corporates etc and traded in markets of varying liquidity. The risk associated with any investments are – credit risk, interest rate risk and liquidity
14
SID - Tata Gold Exchange Traded Fund
risk. However, such risks are lower in case of money market instruments compare to other debt instruments. Further, within the gamut of money
market instruments as available in the market, such risks are very low in case of instruments issued by government. While corporate papers carry
credit risk due to changing business conditions, government securities are perceived to have zero credit risk.
The following table attempts to give a broad overview of the available instruments in the financial markets and their risk return profile. The data
given in the table is based on market conditions around the date of the document and can at best be considered indicative:
An ETF is a passively managed product that provides exposure to an index or a basket of securities with the objective of generating returns as that
of the underlying benchmark, subject to tracking error. The key benefit of an ETF over traditional open-ended index funds is liquidity and availability
of real-time market price on stock exchange. They can be bought and sold on the exchange at prices that are usually close to the indicative intra-day
NAV of the Scheme. ETFs provide investors a fund that tracks the performance of an index with the ability to buy/sell on an intra-day basis. ETFs are
structured in a manner which allows to create new units (called creation units) and redeem outstanding units directly with the fund, thereby ensuring
that ETFs trade close to their actual NAVs.
Other eligible Investors as per provision no. 3.6.2 of SEBI Master Circular on Mutual Fund dated May 19, 2023 / institutions can purchase units by
depositing the underlying securities with the mutual fund/AMC and can redeem by receiving the underlying shares in exchange of units. Units can
also be bought and sold directly on the exchange. ETFs have all the benefits of indexing such as diversification, low cost and transparency. As ETFs
are listed on the exchange, costs of distribution are much lower, and the reach is wider. These savings in cost are passed on to the investors in the
form of lower costs. Furthermore, exchange traded mechanism helps reduce minimal collection, disbursement and other processing charges.
15
SID - Tata Gold Exchange Traded Fund
Benefits of ETFs
a. Can be easily bought / sold like any other stock on the exchange through terminals spread across the country.
b. Can be bought / sold anytime during market hours at prices that are expected to be close to actual NAV of the Scheme. Thus, investor invests at
nearly the real-time prices as opposed to end of day prices.
c. Ability to put limit orders.
d. Protects long-term investors from the inflows and outflows of short-term investors. This is because the fund does not bear extra transaction cost
when buying/selling due to frequent subscriptions and redemptions.
e. Flexible as it can be used as a tool for gaining instant exposure to the equity markets, equitizing cash.
g. Tracking error is likely to be low compared to normal index fund due to lower expenses and the unique in-kind redemption and creation process
of units.
1. Gold and / or Gold related instruments, as specified by SEBI from time to time.
2. Investment in Debt & Money Market Instruments: The Scheme may also invest in Money market instruments, in compliance with Regulations to
meet liquidity requirements. & In conformity with the investment objective/ asset allocation of the Scheme.
Money Market Instruments includes instruments like Commercial Paper, Certificate of Deposit, Treasury Bills and short-term debt instruments etc.
Triparty Repo or any other instrument as may be permitted by SEBI, Reverse Repo in Government Securities and any other Money Market
instruments as may be permitted by SEBI/ RBI from time to time.
3. The scheme may invest in units of liquid / money market / debt mutual fund / schemes of Tata Mutual Fund or in the Scheme(s) of other mutual
funds in conformity with the investment objective/ asset allocation of the Scheme.
The Scheme will invest at least 95% of its total assets in the Gold or Gold related instruments. It may hold up to 5% of their total assets in debt or
money market securities.
The expectation is that, over time, the tracking error of the Scheme relative to the performance of the Underlying benchmark will be relatively low.
The Investment Manager would monitor the tracking error of the Scheme on an ongoing basis and would seek to minimize tracking error to the
maximum extent possible.
There can be no assurance or guarantee that the Scheme will achieve any particular level of tracking error relative to the performance of the underlying
benchmark.
Tracking error is a measure of the difference in returns from the Scheme and the returns from the underlying benchmark. It is computed as the
standard deviation of the difference between the daily returns of the underlying benchmark and the NAV of the Scheme on an annualized basis.
Tracking error could be the result of a variety of factors including but not limited to:
• Payment of scheme expenses.
• Investment in Debt and money market instruments to meet redemption / other liquidity requirements.
• Disinvestments to meet redemptions, recurring expenses etc.
16
SID - Tata Gold Exchange Traded Fund
• Execution of large subscription / redemption transaction.
• Levy of margins by exchanges
The AMC would monitor the tracking error of the Scheme on an ongoing basis and would seek to minimize tracking error to the maximum extent
possible. The annualized standard deviation of the difference in daily returns between the underlying benchmark and the NAV of the scheme based
on past one year rolling data shall not exceed 2%.
In case of unavoidable circumstances in the nature of force majeure, which are beyond the control of the AMCs, the tracking error may exceed 2%
and the same shall be brought to the notice of Trustees with corrective actions taken by the AMC, if any. Index in existence for a period of less than
one year, the annualized standard deviation shall be calculated based on available data. However, Tracking Error of Index is likely to be low as
compared to a normal index fund.
There can be no assurance or guarantee that the Scheme will achieve any particular level of tracking error relative to performance of the underlying
benchmark.

For detailed risk associated with use of derivatives, please refer paragraph “Scheme Specific risk factors”.
Portfolio Turnover
Being Exchange Traded Fund, the fund Manager will follow passive strategy while investing. Portfolio Turnover refers to the volume of trading that
occurs in a Scheme’s Portfolio during a specified period of time. As the Scheme is open ended and there could be a number of creations/redemptions
taking place through Market Makers / others, it would be difficult to estimate the portfolio turnover of the Scheme with any reasonable accuracy.
The tentative portfolio break-up with minimum and maximum asset allocation, while retaining the option to alter the asset allocation for a short-term
period on defensive considerations has been given in paragraph “Asset Allocation Pattern”.
➢ Refer section “IV FEES AND EXPENSES” for aggregate fees and expenses chargeable to the Scheme.
➢ The scheme does not provide any safety net or guarantee, nor does it provide any assurance regarding declaration of income distribution
cum capital withdrawal. There is no guarantee or assurance that the scheme will achieve its’ objective.
In accordance with Regulation 18(15A) of the SEBI (MF) Regulations, the Trustees shall ensure that no change in the fundamental attributes of the
Scheme(s) and the Plan(s) / Option(s) thereunder or the trust or fee and expenses payable or any other change which would modify the Scheme(s)
and the Plan(s) / Option(s) thereunder and affect the interests of Unitholders is carried out unless:
i. An addendum to the existing SID shall be issued and displayed on AMC website immediately.
ii. SID shall be revised and updated immediately after completion of duration of the exit option (not less than 30 days from the notice date)
iii. A public notice shall be given in respect of such changes in one English daily newspaper having nationwide circulation as well as in a
newspaper published in the language of region where the Head Office of the Mutual Fund is situated.
iv. Trustees shall take comments of the Board before bringing such change(s).

United States of America (US) has introduced chapter no. 4 in the US Internal Revenue Code as a part of the
Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act, which was enacted by the US legislature to create
employment opportunities in US. The HIRE Act includes Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), which
now forms a part of the US-IR Code. The regulations for FATCA have undergone revision since 2010 and the final
regulations make the FATCA provisions effective from July 1, 2014.
The objective of FATCA is to detect "US Persons", who evade US taxes by using financial account maintained
outside US. The US persons are defined as those who have either US citizenship or US residency. The FATCA
stipulates reporting on -
ii. Foreign Financial Institutions (FFIs) about financial accounts with them of US taxpayers or foreign
entities in which US taxpayers hold substantial ownership interest.
FFIs (including mutual funds in India) are required to periodically report information on accounts of US persons,
who maintain balances above a threshold. In the event of a default in the reporting of information on accounts of
US taxpayers, a withholding of 30% of the payment made from US sources will be imposed on the recalcitrant
account holders and non-participating Financial Institutions. SEBI has advised that Government of India and US
Government have reached an agreement in substance on the terms of an Inter-Governmental Agreement (IGA) to
implement FATCA and India is now treated as having an IGA in effect from April 11, 2014. Tata Asset Management
Pvt Limited (TAMPL) is classified as a Foreign Financial Institution (FFI) under the FATCA provisions and in

which India is a member, has released a ‘Standard for Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information in
Tax matters. In order to combat the problem of offshore tax evasion and avoidance and stashing of unaccounted
money abroad, the G 20 & OECD countries have together developed a common reporting standard (CRS) on
automatic exchange of information(AEOI). On June 3,2015 India has joined the Multilateral Competent Authority
Agreement (MCAA) on AEOI. The CRS on AEOI requires the financial institutions of the ‘source’ jurisdiction to
collect and report information to their tax authorities about account holder’s ‘resident’ in other countries. The
information to be exchanged relates not only to individuals, but also to shell companies and trusts having beneficial
ownership or interest in the ‘resident’ countries.

Buying/Selling of Units of the Scheme on NSE and/or any other stock exchange is just like buying/selling any other
normal listed security. If an investor has bought Units, an investor has to pay the purchase amount to the broker/sub-
broker such that the amount paid is realised before the funds pay-in day of the settlement cycle on the Stock
Exchange(s). If an investor has sold Units, an investor has to deliver the Units to the broker/sub broker before the
securities pay in day of the settlement cycle on the Stock Exchange(s). The Units (in the case of Units bought) and
the funds (in the case of Units sold) are paid out to the broker on the pay-out day of the settlement cycle on the Stock
Exchange(s). The Stock Exchange(s) regulations stipulate that the trading member should pay the money or Units
to the investor within 24 hours of the pay-out.
If an investor has bought Units, he should give standing instructions for ‘Delivery-In’ to his /her/its DP for accepting
Units in his/her/its beneficiary account. An investor should give the details of his/her beneficiary account and the DP-
ID of his/her/its DP to his/ her/its trading member. The trading member will transfer the Units directly to his/her/ its
beneficiary account on receipt of the same from NSE’s and/or any other stock exchange’s Clearing Corporation.
An investor who has sold Units should instruct his/her/its Depository Participant (DP) to give ‘Delivery Out’ instructions
to transfer the Units from his/her/its beneficiary account to the Pool Account of his/her/its trading member through
whom he/she/it have sold the Units. The details of the Pool A/C (CMBP-ID) of his/her trading member to which the
Units are to be transferred, Unit quantity etc. should be mentioned in the Delivery Out instructions given by him/her
to the DP. The instructions should be given well before the prescribed securities pay-in day. SEBI has advised that
the Delivery Out instructions should be given at least 24 hours prior to the cut-off time for the prescribed securities
pay-in to avoid any rejection of instructions due to data entry errors, network problems, etc.

this purpose, “specified mutual fund” means mutual fund where not more than 35 per cent of its total proceeds is invested in the equity shares of
domestic companies.
