1 CRISIL MUTUAL FUND RANKING CRISIL Mutual Fund Ranks for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 First time entrants lead CRISIL Mutual Fund Ranking First time entrants in the equity category bagged the top ranks in the latest CRISIL Mutual Fund Ranking, earlier known as CRISIL~CPR, announced for the quarter ended June The equity category saw 10 new entrants, viz., six funds in the Diversified Equity category and two funds each in the Large Cap and Small & Midcap Equity categories. Three out of the six new entrants in the Diversified Category - Mirae Asset India Opportunities Fund, Morgan Stanley A.C.E. Fund and Quantum Long-Term Equity Fund - bagged CRISIL Fund Rank 1. DSP Black Rock Micro Cap Fund, a new entrant, claimed CRISIL Fund Rank 1 in the Small & Midcap category. First time entrants in the equity category include those funds that have satisfied the minimum eligibility criteria viz, two years in existence and minimum average assets under management (AUM) cut off. The toppers scored high on the risk-adjusted returns parameter in comparison to their category peers. During March 2009, when the Sensex was at 8000 levels, the equity allocations of top ranked new entrants in the Diversified Equity category was above 90 per cent as compared to 80 per cent of its peers. So when the markets rebounded from the lows of March 2009, the call of higher equity allocations of these funds paid rich dividends and the rest of the funds had to play catch up. At the fund house level, Birla Sun Life Mutual Fund led the tally of top ranked funds with a total of eleven funds under CRISIL Fund Rank 1, closely followed by HDFC Mutual Fund and Reliance Mutual Fund with ten and nine funds under CRISIL Fund Rank 1, respectively. CRISIL s fund rankings covered 436 open-ended funds accounting for 80 per cent of the average assets managed by Indian mutual funds in June CRISIL s analysis has revealed that Small and Midcap funds have outperformed Large Cap & Diversified Equity funds during the quarter ended June Small and Midcap funds gave an average return of 6.75 per cent as compared to 2.76 per cent for Large Cap funds and 3.92 per cent for Diversified Equity funds. At the same time, long term Income funds with higher maturities of 3-5 years gave superior returns of about 2.14 per cent as compared to 1.85 per cent for the peer average. A unique feature of CRISIL s Mutual Fund Ranking is that unlike most other ranking models that are purely based on returns or net asset value (NAV), CRISIL uses a combination of NAV and portfolio-based attributes for evaluation. By capturing portfolio-based risks, CRISIL brings in a forward looking element into the rankings which makes them more robust. CRISIL s fund ranking framework provides a single-point analysis of mutual funds taking into consideration all factors, such as risk-adjusted returns, asset concentration, liquidity, asset quality and asset size, that are important to evaluate a fund s performance. The ranking also include categories that specifically focus on long term consistency in performance. The ranks are assigned on a scale of 1 to 5, with CRISIL Fund Rank 1 indicating Very Good Performance. In any peer group, the top ten percentile of funds are ranked as CRISIL Fund Rank 1 and the next CRISIL Mutual Fund Ranking June 2010 Page 1 of 45

2 twenty percentile are ranked as CRISIL Fund Rank 2. Investors can use the CRISIL Fund Ranking, which is available on as a tool to support their investment decisions. The rankings are updated on a quarterly basis. Mutual fund industry highlights 8.5 Net Inflows (Rs billion) Industry Average AUM (Rs trillion) 2200 AAUM Rs trillion Jun-09 Jul-09 Aug-09 Sep-09 Oct-09 Nov-09 Dec-09 Jan-10 Feb-10 Mar-10 Apr-10 May-10 Jun-10 Net Inflows Rs billion The mutual fund industry s average assets under management (AUM) fell for the second consecutive quarter in June to its lowest level in past 11 months at Rs 6.78 trillion (including fund of funds). The average AUM plunged by nearly 10 per cent in the quarter ended June and from Rs 7.49 trillion in March Earlier in the period, the average AUM had reached a high of Rs 8.05 trillion in May but plunged in June due to large-scale withdrawals from debt funds. Mutual Funds witnessed the second highest monthly decline in average AUM in June (down 16 per cent) since October 2008, when average AUM had dropped over 18 per cent. Though these outflows are typical at every quarter end (when banks and corporates withdraw their mutual fund investments to meet their quarter end requirements), but a liquidity squeeze in the banking system also contributed to the fall this time. Liquidity was under pressure due to quarterly advance tax outflows and payments towards the third-generation wireless telephony (3-G) and Broadband Wireless Spectrum auctions. Around Rs 300 billion moved out of the system in the first half of June on account of corporate advance tax in addition to the Rs 1.06 trillion as payments towards 3-G and broadband auction payments during May and June combined. As per the latest data available with the RBI, banks investments in mutual funds fell to Rs 191 billion as of July 2, 2010 vis-à-vis Rs 1060 billion as of April 9, CRISIL Mutual Fund Ranking June 2010 Page 2 of 45

3 The quarter under review saw extreme volality with mutual funds witnessing the highest-ever inflows of Rs 1.86 trillion in April 2010 as well as large scale redemptions (to the tune of Rs 1.19 trillion) in June. Overall there were net inflows of Rs 35 billion during the quarter under review as compared to the net outflows of Rs 586 billion in the March quarter. Consequently, the month-end AUM of mutual funds rose by nearly 3 per cent over the quarter led by mark to market gains and marginal inflows. A three-fourth of rise in the month-end AUM was contributed by mark to market gains while around one-fourth of rise in AUM was due to net inflows. Most of the inflows during the quarter were witnessed in income funds (predominantly ultra short term debt schemes). Income funds recorded net inflows of Rs 83 billion in the quarter ended June vis-à-vis net outflows of Rs 535 billion in the previous quarter. Marginal inflows were also seen in Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), Gold ETFs and Balanced funds. Liquid Funds, however, continued to witness redemption and saw outflows to the tune of Rs 30 billion in the June quarter. Equity funds followed with redemptions of over Rs 15 billion in the quarter as compared to net inflows of over Rs 17 billion in the previous quarter. This year, equity funds have exhibited high volatility with the category witnessing three months of inflow and three months of ouflow in the calendar year. Debt-oriented funds (income, liquid, gilt funds) continued to dominate the mutual funds assets spectrum with 65 per cent share. New fund offerings (NFOs) declined during the quarter ended June as just 45 new schemes were launched in the quarter compared to 95 offerings in the previous one. Mutual funds mobilised Rs 96 billion via NFOs in this quarter compared to Rs 198 billion in the previous quarter. Income oriented scheme issuances dominated the NFOs with 36 of the 45 funds belonging to this category. These 36 funds mobilised Rs 84 billion. Fixed Maturity Plans or FMPs dominated the income fund issuances with 29 FMPs being launched during the quarter garnering Rs 55 billion. A look at SEBI data showed that mutual funds sold equities worth Rs 24 billion in the quarter ended June compared to net selling of Rs 61 billion in the March quarter. On the debt side, mutual funds were net buyers to the tune of Rs 431 billion in the June quarter compared to net buying of Rs 340 billion in the March-ended quarter. Over the quarter only 13 out of 39 fund houses saw a growth in their average AUM. IDBI Mutual Fund forayed into the mutual fund space with average AUM of Rs 280 million in June. Reliance Mutual Fund remained the largest fund house by asset size but its average AUM fell over 8 per cent to Rs 1.01 trillion. HDFC Mutual Fund had breached Rs 1 trillion in average AUM after a gap of 5 months in May but its average AUM fell by 2.4 per cent over the quarter to Rs 866 billion in June. ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund occupied the third spot and its average AUM fell from Rs 810 billion in March to Rs 738 billion in June (down nearly 9 per cent). UTI Mutual Fund and Birla Sun Life Mutual Fund followed with an average AUM of Rs 644 billion (down around 20 per cent) and Rs 631 billion (up 1.2 per cent) respectively. The share of top 5 mutual funds assets remained at 57 per cent compared to a year ago period while the share of top 10 funds assets increased from 78 per cent in June 2009 to around 80 per cent in June Among key gainers, Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund and L&T Mutual Fund saw the highest quarterly growth of Rs 14 billion and Rs 12 billion respectively in average AUM to Rs 355 billion and Rs 37 billion respectively. In percentage terms, Peerless Mutual Fund s average AUM grew three-fold from Rs 3 billion in March to Rs 9 billion in June. CRISIL Mutual Fund Ranking June 2010 Page 3 of 45

4 Among regulatory developments, SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) extended the deadline for valuation norms for debt and money market instruments held by mutual funds to August 1 from July 1 earlier. However, it said that those mutual funds that voluntarily propose to implement the valuation methodology before August 1 will be permitted to do so. Further, SEBI asked fund houses to disclose their dividend payouts in rupee terms, instead of percentage-wise. SEBI capped total expenses for fund of fund schemes (FoF) at 2.5 per cent of average assets, which will include fund management fees not exceeding 0.75 per cent and charges levied by target or master fund. SEBI asked mutual funds to benchmark the performance of their equity schemes primarily with the BSE Sensex or the S&P CNX Nifty, along with the index chosen by the fund house. Besides, SEBI said that no business house without at least five years of experience in financial services will be permitted to own stake in an AMC. AMFI stated that trail commissions entitled in case of transferred mutual fund accounts (which have moved from one distributor to another) be put in an investor education fund. Further, AMFI asked the mutual fund industry to organise around 200 investor awareness programmes (4 to 5 programmes each across 39 players) in a month. On another front, AMFI discontinued its mutual fund certification programme from June 1 and now National Institute of Securities Markets (NISM), a division of SEBI, will conduct the same. SEBI said that any mutual fund distributor whose AMFI certification expired during June 1-December 31 would be given time until December 31 to pass the Continuing Professional Education exam conducted by the NISM. On the NPS (New Pension System) front, according to the revised proposal in the Direct Taxes Code, taxes on withdrawals from the NPS would be scrapped. Among other news, Pramerica Mutual Fund received SEBI's final approval to start operations. Sundaram Finance decided to acquire partner BNP Paribas Asset Management's 49.9 per cent stake in the AMC and the trustee company. Vijaya Bank, Punjab National Bank and Principal Financial Group, Mauritius restructured their joint venture arrangements; the two public sector partner banks would continue to support Principal PNB AMC for a period of three years. IDFC planned to rope in a global fund manager as a strategic partner and sell 26 per cent stake in its asset management arm. CRISIL Mutual Fund Ranking June 2010 Page 4 of 45

6 Equity markets overview Domestic stock markets ended higher for the sixth successive quarter with the BSE Sensex and the S&P CNX Nifty gaining 1 per cent in the latest quarter on back of positive domestic cues and foreign institutional buying. Strong GDP and industrial data, encouraging first quarter corporate earnings and robust collection by the government from Broadband Wireless Access and 3G spectrum auctions (where the government netted around Rs 1.06 trillion) helped the markets. Also supporting the markets was the reconciliation between the Ambani brothers over the 2006 non-compete agreement and reports that Reliance Industries (RIL) has bought a substantial stake in Infotel Broadband Services, which has bagged all the 22 circles in Broadband Wireless Auction. Intermittent positive overseas cues such as China agreeing for a more flexible currency policy also helped the markets. Stocks had also risen due to a rise in RIL and RNRL shares on expectations of further co-operation between the two companies but lack of a concrete announcement disappointed investors. Over the quarter, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) were net buyers to the tune of Rs 104 billion in the equity market compared with a net buying of Rs 198 billion in the quarter ended March. Gains were curtailed, though, on concerns over the European debt crisis after Fitch downgraded Spain and S&P cut Greece's debt rating to "junk", in addition to downgrading Portugal. Fears that China's economy may grow at a slower pace after the Conference Board revised the economic outlook of the country downwards also affected sentiments. Among negative domestic cues, concerns over steep valuations after benchmark indices breached important levels, prompted investors to reduce exposure. On the sectoral front, BSE FMCG index emerged as the topper, up 14 per cent over the quarter, as defensive buying was seen in volatile times. ITC was the fifth largest gainer on the Nifty over the quarter, rising 16 per cent while Hindustan Unilver rose 11.7 per cent. BSE Consumer Durables (CD) Index followed the FMCG index, returning over 12 per cent, as BSE CD index heavyweight Titan Industries rose 29 per cent over the quarter. BSE Auto Index was up 8.5 per cent in the quarter ended June as auto sales remained robust throughout. M&M gained almost 16 per cent and figured among top 10 gainers on the Nifty. BSE Oil&Gas Index was up 7 per cent in the period with oil shares getting a boost in latter half of June after the government decided to adopt a market-determined pricing policy for petrol and decided "in principle" to free diesel prices. BPCL was the top gainer of the quarter on the Nifty, rising 28 per cent, followed by ONGC, which rose over 20 per cent. In a major development, the government made it mandatory to have at least 25 per cent public holding in listed companies. It said that companies whose draft offers have been filed with SEBI would be able to go ahead with their issues and comply with the new norms by divesting 5 per cent shares every year. For PSUs, government said that it might consider changes in the announced norms for the minimum 25 per cent public holding in listed companies, if the need arises. SEBI tightened disclosure norms for listed companies, making it mandatory for them to detail balance sheet as a note to half-yearly results within 45 days from half-year end. SEBI cut the gap between issue closure and listing to 12 days from up to 22 days for all public issues opening on or after May 1, SEBI extended the applications supported by blocked amount (ASBA) facility to Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs) for all issues from May 1, It also said that companies can now close their public issues on different days for QIBs and retail investors, and asked institutional investors to pay upfront 100 per cent money in primary issues, CRISIL Mutual Fund Ranking June 2010 Page 6 of 45

It also permitted stock exchanges to introduce derivative contracts on the Volatility Index subject to some conditions.

16 Index category Index schemes, for the purpose of CRISIL Mutual Fund Ranking, are defined as schemes launched with an objective of generating returns that are commensurate with the performance of their benchmark's Total Return Index (TRI), subject to tracking errors. The ranking is purely based on tracking error, which is a measure of divergence between the scheme and its benchmark's TRI. The lower the tracking error, the closer is the performance of the scheme to its benchmark. Hence, lower the tracking error of the scheme, the better is the ranking assigned. Fourteen schemes qualified for ranking under this category. Kotak Sensex ETF occupied the CRISIL Fund Rank 1 cluster for the second quarter in a row accompanied by Nifty Benchmark Exchange Traded Scheme (Nifty BeES), which continued to be ranked in the top cluster for the fourteenth consecutive quarter.
