Trustees’ Report for the financial year ended March 31, 2015

FUTURE OUTLOOK OF THE FUNDAfter the initial post-election euphoria, the Indian equity markets have been going through a phase of consolidation and adjustment to reflect economic ground realities. While the new government has taken up the gauntlet of putting India’s economic growth on a structural recovery path, the pace of recovery measured by corporate revenue and earnings growth has been slower than expected. However, with macro-economic parameters continuing to get favorable – thanks to subdued oil/commodity prices, declining inflation, stable currency and strong long-term government initiatives – the return to growth for India’s corporate sector does not seem very distant. Initial green-shoots of recovery, particularly in the investment cycle and consumer sentiment are now visible and will likely get further bolstered by comforting initial trends of the monsoon. We expect the economy to return to trend GDP growth of 7-8pc in the next 2-3 years led by faster decision-making of the new Government, implementation of critical reforms and better growth-inflation dynamics. This will in turn lead to acceleration in corporate earnings and thus positively impact equities and fund performance. We reckon that at an aggregate level the investment holdings across our different fund portfolios have the ability to grow significantly ahead of the market in an environment of accelerating GDP and corporate earnings growth and should deliver reasonable returns even during subdued economic and market conditions. This in turn will drive the ability of the Funds to outperform their respective broader market benchmarks.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESThe significant accounting policies form part of the notes to the accounts annexed to the Balance Sheet of the Schemes in the Annual Report. The Accounting Policies are in accordance with Securities and Exchange Board of India (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996.

Annexure IIVoting Policy

INTRODUCTIONMotilal Oswal Asset Management Company Limited (hereinafter referred to as “MOAMC”) is a company incorporated under the Companies Act, 1956. MOAMC is an Investment Manager for the schemes of Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund. Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund (hereinafter referred to as “Mutual Fund”) is registered with Securities Exchange & Board of India under the SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996 having registration no. MF/063/09/04. Mutual Fund invests in an equity component and/or equity shares of the companies/ corporations registered in India (hereinafter referred to as “Investee Company”). In connection with such investments by the Mutual Fund, MOAMC has a fiduciary responsibility to exercise voting responsibilities at the general meetings of Investee Companies through the corporate proxy voting process available to the members of such Investee Companies in the best interest of the unit holders of the Mutual Fund. In order to ensure that an active role is played in better Corporate Governance of the Listed Companies where investment of Mutual Fund Schemes is made, we have framed this Voting Policy in compliance with SEBI Circular no. SEBI/IMD/CIR No. 18/198647/2010 dated March 15, 2010, clarificatory email received from SEBI on June 23, 2011 and SEBI circular no. CIR/IMD/DF/05/2014 dated March 24, 2014. This Policy shall be applicable to all equity holdings across all our equity mutual fund schemes.

Objective of Voting PolicyBroadly, the objectives of this Policy are as follows:l To outline the role and obligations of Mutual Fund in ensuring better corporate governance of listed companies in which the funds of Schemes of Mutual Fund are

invested. l To exercise voting responsibilities at the general meetings of Investee Companies in the best interest of the unit holders of the Mutual Fund.l To explain reporting and disclosure requirements with regards to proxy voting. The principles and positions reflected in this policy are designed to guide us in exercising our votes with respect to the shares and not necessarily in making investment decisions. The Fund Managers of each of the schemes of the Mutual Fund base their determinations of whether their respective schemes should invest in the shares of particular company on a variety of factors at all times keeping paramount the best interests of the unit holders of such scheme, and while corporate governance may be one such factor, it may not be the most important consideration.

Policy GuidelinesMOAMC shall adhere to the following guidelines: l This Policy will be effective for all listed companies, wherein equity schemes of Mutual Fund have invested.l MOAMC for and on behalf of the Mutual Fund shall endeavor to vote on all ordinary/special resolutions which may affect the unit holders interests, either by postal

ballot or through personal attendance by any of the authorized officials / agents.l MOAMC may authorize any of its officials, Head-Operations, concerned Fund Manager, Compliance Officer, or any other Officers of the rank of Manager and above,

who is authorised from Corporate Office/Branch Offices and / or authorised agents to attend the meeting in person and to vote as approved internally. l MOAMC shall not give proxy to brokers, for voting on its behalf.l The decision regarding the voting on the resolution, i.e. whether the Mutual Fund will abstain from voting or vote for or against the proposed resolution by the Investee

Company/Issuer will be taken by the Fund Manager in conjunction with the recommendations of the / broad parameters approved by the Investment Committee.

The actual exercise of the proxy votes in the AGMs/EGMs of the Investee Company will cover the following matters and will be reported in the SEBI prescribed format:

A. Ordinary Business: a. Adopting the Annual Accounts (P&L & Balance Sheet) b. Declaration of Annual or Interim or Final or Special Dividend c. Appointment or removal or retirement of Directors d. Appointment or Re-appointment of Auditors

B. Special Business Corporate governance issues are diverse and continually evolving. While it is difficult to provide an exhaustive list of such issues, the following guidelines/policies

reflect what MOAMC believes to be good corporate governance measures and the stance it may generally take with respect to the below matters: i. Corporate Governance Matters MOAMC supports resolutions like change in registered office of the Company from one State to another State, merger and other corporate restructuring,

which are in the interest of the unit holders of the Fund. MOAMC will analyze various economic and strategic factors in making the final decision on a merger, acquisition or any other corporate restructuring proposals. However, MOAMC will vote against resolutions pertaining to takeover by an acquirer, etc. which are against the interest of the unit holders. MOAMC will consider, on a case to case basis, proposals to rotate auditors, and will vote against the appointment of auditors when there is convincing evidence of accounting irregularities or negligence.

ii. Changes to Capital Structure Changes in capitalization will generally be supported where a reasonable need for the change is demonstrated. MOAMC will review on a case to case basis,

proposals by companies to change the capital structure by increasing/decreasing the authorized shares and the purpose for the same. MOAMC believes that a company’s decisions pertaining to financing has a material impact on its shareholders, in particular when they involve the issuance of additional shares or the assumption of additional debt. However such changes resulting in excessive dilution of existing shareholder value will not be supported.

iii. Stock option plans and other proposals pertaining to management compensation MOAMC would support such remuneration proposals, which are tied to achieving long-term performance and enhancing shareholder value. Stock option

plans that are excessively generous or dilute other shareholders’ stake value will not be supported. iv. Social and corporate responsibility issues In light of the increasing need for fair disclosures, a growing need for social and corporate responsibility, MOAMC’s responsibility increases. MOAMC shall

vote in favor of such matters which are believed to have significant socio-economic benefits. v. Board of Directors MOAMC believes in philosophy of having an independent board of directors as the same is key to comply with good corporate governance norms. MOAMC

would support proposals pertaining to appointment of independent directors, and the key committees such as audit, IPO, CSR and remuneration committees etc. to be comprised of independent members.

vi. Related-party transactions In view of the increasing number of incidences of related-party transactions being seen in the corporate sector today which can have large-scale implications

on the future of the underlying business of the Investee company and its valuation, MOAMC will ensure its active participation in voting on such transactions to safeguard the interest of its unit holders.

vii. Any other issue that may affect the interest of the shareholders in general and interest of the Unit holder in particular.

C. Investment in group companies of MOAMC and investment in companies that have subscribed to the units of schemes of Mutual Fund: In cases where investments are in group companies of the MOAMC or where the Investee Companies have substantial investments in the schemes of Motilal

Oswal Mutual Fund, MOAMC shall specifically review all voting proposals and take decisions with respect to voting on such proposals in the best interest of the unit holders. MOAMC may decide to abstain from such voting, if it deems fit to do so in the best interest of the unit holders or if there is a conflict of interest.

Exception to the aboveMOAMC may also decide to abstain from voting in cases of any of the above stated Special resolutions, where it has insufficient information or there is a conflict of interest or MOAMC does not receive the communication in time.Although MOAMC will vote in accordance with the Voting Policy, but it may act differently if, the relevant facts and circumstances so warrant. Hence, MOAMC may deviate from the Voting Policy guidelines when it determines that the deviation is necessary to protect the interests of the unit holders.

Guidelines for Schemes which are Exchange Traded Funds and Index FundsIn relation to its Schemes that are exchange traded funds (ETFs) or index funds which are based on various indices, as the case may be, Mutual Fund invests in such ETFs / index based funds based on the index which is being tracked by such Scheme. These indices are developed, owned and maintained by independent index providers. The indices are maintained on a day to day basis by the index provider as per the policy laid down by the index provider and various parameters are used for inclusion and exclusion of stocks from the index. Mutual Fund obtains a license for using these indices to launch its ETFs. These Schemes then track such indices by investing in the stocks based on its weightage in such index. Mutual Fund carries rebalancing exercises based on the details of corporate actions, etc. and other relevant details received from the index providers. The Fund Manager of such ETF/Index Schemes do not play an active role in the selection of the stocks for investment/disinvestment. The Fund Manager’s decisions are based solely on the notice of corporate actions received from the index providers. As Mutual Fund follows a passive philosophy towards investment in its Schemes that are ETF or index funds, MOAMC would abstain from voting on any matters with respect to companies in which such Schemes that are ETFs / index funds have investments.

Amendments/Updates, Internal Review and control Any regulatory amendment/update etc. shall be carried out from time to time to the policy by Investment Committee. The Investment Committee will review the proxy voting required as per the voting policy and actual exercise of proxy votes.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of accounting: The financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting, under the historical cost convention, as modified for investments, which are ‘marked-

to-market’. The significant accounting policies, which are in accordance with the SEBI Regulations and have been approved by the Boards of Directors of Motilal Oswal Asset Management Company Limited and Motilal Oswal Trustee Company Limited, are stated below.

(a) Determination of net asset value (‘NAV’) The net asset value is determined considering the daily income earned, including realised profit or loss and unrealised gain or loss in the value of investments,

and expenses incurred. At the time of dividend declaration, distributable surplus is arrived at after deducting unrealised appreciation and balance of unit premium reserve.

(b) Unit capital, unit premium reserve and income equalisation Unit capital represents the net outstanding units as at the Balance Sheet date. Unit Premium Reserve is debited or credited at the time of purchase or sale of units after taking into account the face value of units and Income Equalization.

Balance in Unit Premium Reserve is not considered for distribution of dividend. An appropriate portion of NAV of unit at the time of purchase and sale is transferred to Income Equalization Account. In arriving at the portion of the NAV to be transferred to Income Equalization Account, surplus/deficit (before considering unrealized appreciation) upto the date of transaction is taken into account. The net balance in Income Equalization Account is transferred to Revenue Account.

The purpose is to ensure that the per unit amount of the continuing unitholders’ share of the undistributed income / loss remains unaffected by the movement in unit capital. At the year end, the balance in the equalisation account is transferred to the Revenue Account.

(c) Investments Accounting for investments Purchase and sale of investments are recorded on the date of the transaction, at cost and sale price respectively, after considering brokerage, commission,

and fees payable, if any. The Value Added Tax (VAT) paid at the time of purchase of Gold is accounted in the books as VAT receivable (input credit), and the liability arising at the

time of sale of Gold (i.e. VAT payable) is accounted as payable and adjusted against the receivable, if any.

Valuation of investments The valuation of Gold portflolio is carried out as prescribed by SEBI, in the following manner; a) The London Bullion Market Association’s (LBMA) AM fixing price per troy ounce is increased with Insurance, Freight, premium and the LBMA fixing

charges. b) This value arrived at in (a) above was then converted to the equivalent price for 1 kg gold of 0.995 fineness by applying the conversion factor. c) The day end RBI reference rate was applied to convert the price from US dollars to Indian Rupees. d) The statutory levies in the form of customs duty, stamp duty, octroi, VAT as applicable were added to arrive at the final landed price of gold. If on any day, the LBMA AM fixing or RBI reference rate was not available due to holiday, then the immediately previous day’s prices were applied for the

purpose of calculating the value of gold. The unrealised gain or loss in the value of investments is determined separately for each category of investments. The change in the net unrealised loss,

if any, between two balance sheet dates is recognised in the revenue account and the change in net unrealised gain, if any, is adjusted in an unrealised appreciation account.

(d) Revenue recognition Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis except where there is uncertainty about ultimate recovery. Such income is recognized when the uncertainty
