Depending on the asset allocation model, the assets would be dynamically allocated to debt and equity. Snapshot: Offer period September 27, 2006 to October 19, 2006 Investment objective T o generate capital appreciation by actively investing in equity/equity related securities. The scheme may invest in debt, money market instruments, to the extent permitted under the regulations. Exposure to debt securities would be in line with the fund managers caution on the equity markets. In case of a negative view on equity markets the fund managers may choose to have 100% allocation to debt securities. Offer price Rs.10 Benchmark index Crisil Balanced Fund Index Scheme type Asset Allocation (close-ended) Minimum investment Rs. 5,000 Plans offered Growth, dividend and bonus Entry load (during NFO Nil period) Exit load (during NFO Nil* period) Fund Manager Mr. Paras Adenwala & Mr. Ramanathan K. Liquidity Quarterly Source: ING Vysya MF *An early exit charge equivalent to the unamortized NFO expenses will be recovered from the investor in case of redemption before expiry of 3 years from the date of allotment. Analyst s view Suitability: The fund is suitable for an investor who wants to participate in the equity mark et and at the same time it is looking for principal protection. Since the fund would not allocate all its assets to equities, returns offered by the fund may not be as attractive as other equity funds in a bullish market. But in a bearish market, while other equity funds may witness capital erosion, the dynamic allocation model of this fund would protect the capital. Therefore, the risk associated with the fund is low. It has the potential of offering moderately high returns (refer risk-return profile on page 5).

2 What drives portfolio performance? Particulars Actual time spent Impact on returns Asset allocation 10% >92% Security selection and fund manager 60-70% < 5% selection Market timing 20-30% < 2% Source: Brinson, Singer & Beebower Asset allocation contributes more than 92% to the performance of portfolio. Stock selection and market timing do not have an impact on portfolio returns beyond 7%. Asset allocation - based on model Stock selection - Fund manager s discretion Rebalancing the portfolio 1: What does an investor look for? An investor has basically two main objectives: Principal protection Returns Instrument type Principal protection Returns Debt Equity The above table depicts that while debt instruments fulfils the objective of capital preservation, the returns offered are also low. On the other hand, investment in equities gives higher potential capital appreciation, but there is no capital protection. The chart below shows the performance of debt and equity funds (on an average): Jan-00 Jun-00 Nov-00 Apr-01 Sep-01 Feb-02 Jul-02 Dec-02 Equity Funds May-03 Oct-03 Mar-04 Aug-04 Debt Funds Jan-05 Jun-05 Nov-05 Apr-06 Sep-06 * Growth of Rs. 10,000 in debt and equity funds Datasource: MFI Explorer Note: Income funds and open-ended equity diversified funds have been used to depict returns on debt and equity funds The investment amount of Rs. 10, 000 in equity funds is reduced to approximately half (giving -50% returns) during the period March, 01 to Jan, 02. On the other hand, debt funds performed well during that period of market fall. However after July, 05 equity funds gave better returns than debt funds. Hence if an investor would have invested in debt funds during March, 2000 to June, 2005 and shifted to equity funds after that, he would not only have protected his capital but would also have made handsome returns. This suggests that switching between debt and equities would have proved to be a better investment style i.e. investing in equities in the bullish markets and investing in debt in the bearish markets. Appropriate asset allocation would allow investors to take care of their investment objectives, viz. capital protection and decent returns. 2: Asset Allocation- a smart choice Asset allocation fund combines different asset classes at one point. Thus 1. It offers the benefit of diversification. 2. It helps in achieving relatively consistent returns. Karvy Research Desk For private circulation only 2

3 3. Dynamic asset allocation- a smarter choice Proposed asset allocation: Equity and equity related securities 0-100% Debt & money market instruments 0-100% Source: ING Vysya MF 1: Dynamic asset allocation offers higher returns than static asset allocation while protecting the capital. 2: It has the flexibility to change the equity and debt asset allocation according to the market movement. 4. Why ING Vysya Dynamic Asset Allocation Fund? The fund is a unique blend of active and disciplined investment style which will offer the dual benefit of principal protection and equity - linked returns by adopting the following strategy: Multiplier of 3: The fund uses a multiplier of 3 to keep the fund in a balanced leveraged position. While multiplier of 2 would be too conservative, multiplier of 4 or 5 would be highly aggressive and increase the portfolio risk. CRISIL Rating ING Vysya Dynamic Asset Allocation Fund has secured AAA (so) rating by Crisil, indicating highest degree of certainty regarding principal payment on maturity. Equity strategies: -The fund will invest at least 50% of the assets in BSE 100 and up to 50% in BSE When the market will go up, investments would be made in midcap stocks to cash upon the high returns associated with them. -If the portfolio value moves towards bond floor, investments will be shifted to largecap stocks since they are associated with high liquidity and low er risk. Debt strategies: -The fund will invest in high quality short term debt papers which provide high liquidity and negligible interest rate risk till the the portfolio value doesn t hit the floor. This would offer the flexibility of higher allocation to equities. -If the bond floor is hit, investments will be shifted to debt papers with maturity similar to tha t of the fund's remaining life, so as to protect the capital. Rebalancing the portfolio: -Rebalancing will be done on a fortnightly basis. -If in between, the portfolio value moves by +/- 5% over last rebalancing, it will be rebalanced (could also be intra-day). Notes: Floor: It is the present value of the protected principal, discounted at a risk-free rate for specified time duration. It is the function of interest rates and time duration of the investment. It acts as a benchmark for allocation of assets in the portfolio between equity and debt. A s the fund nears maturity, the floor value approaches the principal amount. Multiplier : It is an implied leverage which is applied to the portfolio, which decides the risk that a portfolio can be exposed to. It generally varies from 2 to 5. Higher the multiplier, higher will be the portfolio s equity exposure. Karvy Research Desk For private circulation only 3

4 Tax Implications: If it qualifies as an equity-oriented fund, its tax implications : 1. If the investor holds the fund for more than 3 year, his gains will be completely tax-free. However, any redemption made before 1 year will result in short-term capital gains tax at a flat rate of 11.22% (including surcharge and educational cess). 2. Dividends are also tax-free. 3. Securities Transaction Tax of 0.25% will be levied on the redemption value of the units. If it qualifies as a debt-oriented fund, its tax implications: 1. Dividend plan: Dividend receipts will be tax free in the hands of investors as a dividend distribution % (including surcharge and cess) will be deducted at the source. 2. Growth plan: If the investor holds the fund for more than 1 year, his gains (long term) on redemption will be charged at 22.44% (including surcharge and cess) with indexation and 11.22% (including surcharge and cess) without indexation. However, any redemption made before 1 year will result in short-term capital gains tax at the normal slab rate. Whether the fund qualifies as an equityoriented fund or a debt-oriented fund would depend upon its investment pattern for a period preceding the maturity period. However, if an investor redeems before the maturity period, decision whether it is equity-oriented or debt -oriented would depend upon its investment pattern for a period preceding redemption. 5: Performance of existing funds of ING Vysya MF The following table shows the performance of existing equity and debt funds of DSP ML MF over the last 6-months, 1-year and 3-year period.
