Background Investments into equity, either through direct stocks or through mutual funds that invest into a portfolio of stocks, would be subject to volatility. Although there is a possibility of earning relatively higher returns from equity markets, a possibility of capital erosion cannot be ruled out. Investments into fixed income instruments, on the other hand, tend to provide relatively lower returns. However, the possibility of capital erosion is far lesser in portfolios that are having a large exposure to fixed income instruments. Investors having a positive view of the equity markets and desirous of gaining from their view would have no choice but to take necessary risk exposure to the equity markets. Such a strategy of investing (possibly completely) into equity markets, while increasing the possibility of investors earning relatively higher returns would also be subjecting the capital to possible losses and therefore could be risky. An ideal scenario for investors would be to gain from the equity markets while minimizing their losses on the downside. A strategy of investing predominantly into fixed income instruments and equity & equity related instruments which may include investments into long call options has the potential to deliver equity market returns on the upside (when equity markets are positive) while attempting to limit the loss on the downside (when equity markets are flat-to-negative). Introducing Reliance Dual Advantage Fixed Tenure Fund - III- Plan D Reliance Dual Advantage Fixed Tenure Fund III Plan D is a 36 months, close-ended hybrid scheme that seeks to generate returns and reduce interest rate volatility, through a portfolio of fixed income securities that are maturing on or before the maturity of the Scheme along with capital appreciation through equity exposure.


Investment Philosophy of the Scheme The investment philosophy of the scheme would be to invest into a combination of fixed income instruments maturing on or before the maturity of the scheme and equity & equity related instruments which may also include long call options.

How does the Fund work? The fixed income allocation to the portfolio would be predominantly deployed into securities maturing on or before the maturity of the fund. The strategy would be to buy-and-hold the securities, thereby minimizing any interest rate volatility. Therefore, the fixed income portion of the investment would be largely on an accrual basis. The equity portfolio exposure would be in equity & equity-related instruments, primarily through long call options on Nifty, expiry of which would be near to the maturity of the scheme. In case if investments are made in long call options, it would allow investors to participate in the underlying equity market (Nifty), often in multiple times due to the benefits of leverage. A combination of investments into fixed income instruments and long call option would allow investors to gain from the upside in the equity markets while attempting to limit the loss on the downside.
Back-testing of the strategy

A strategy of investing approximately 80% of the portfolio in fixed income securities and the remaining 20% in long call options maturing in line with the maturity of the scheme is considered. An actual example of Nifty price movements and the corresponding options premium price along with the respective strike price is shown in the following table to illustrate how such a strategy may work in the future.

Please note that although we have considered an actual example of Nifty providing positive returns during the considered period, the actual Nifty returns may also be negative. In such a scenario, investors would lose out the entire premium paid to buy the long-call options. However, the fixed income investments would provide accrual returns, essentially minimizing the losses for the investors.

Data Source: Bloomberg Note: The above table is only for illustration purposes, purely to explain the concept of the scheme and should not be taken as any indication of either
capital protection or equity market returns. Long call options were available only since March 2008. Nifty returns for a 3 year period since then have only been positive and hence the above back-testing example shown is only for a scenario when Nifty returns have been positive. However, in the future, the Nifty returns could be flat or negative and the scheme returns would vary accordingly. The yield considered for the fixed income investments is that of AAA-rated securities. However, the scheme may also invest into securities rated below AAA. Further the calculation excludes the scheme expenses as well. The actual allocation can be different within the Asset Allocation and Investment Pattern mentioned in the SID. RCAM does not recommend any action based on the above illustration. The investment decision of RCAM is based on several factors including research, market potential, future outlook etc. Please read the SID of the Scheme and detailed risk factors carefully before investing.

As it is evident from the above Table, by employing the strategy of investing approximately 80% of the portfolio in fixed income securities and the rest in long call options (20%), the portfolio endeavors to provide similar returns as that of Nifty in a scenario where market returns are positive. However, during the considered period, if the Nifty return is flat or negative, investors would lose the premium they


have paid to buy options entirely. However, in such a scenario, they would earn the returns emanating from the fixed income securities, as demonstrated in the above table. It may be noted that despite losing options premium entirely, the investors could endeavor to keep their capital protected by employing such a strategy.
