Addendum No. 2

This Addendum sets out the changes made to the Combined Offer Document dated 28 November 2006. The following shall be inserted above the topic ‘How to apply?’ on page 56 of the offer document: Prevention of Money Laundering In terms of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002, the Rules issued there under and the guidelines/circulars issued by SEBI regarding the Anti Money Laundering (AML Laws), all intermediaries, including Mutual Funds, have to formulate and implement a client identification programme, verify and maintain the record of identity and address(es) of investors. In order to make the data capture and document submission easy and convenient for the investors, the Mutual Fund Industry has collectively entrusted this responsibility of collection of documents relating to identity and address and record keeping to an independent agency (presently CDSL Ventures Limited) that will act as central record keeping agency (‘Central Agency’). As a token of having verified the identity and address and for efficient retrieval of records, the Central Agency will issue a Mutual Fund Identification Number (‘MIN’) to each investor who submits an application and the prescribed documents to the Central Agency. Investors who have obtained the MIN can invest in the schemes of the Mutual Fund by quoting the MIN in lieu of submitting information and documents required under AML Laws. Mutual Fund Identification Number (MIN) Investors who wish to obtain a MIN have to submit a completed Application Form for MIN (‘MIN Form’) along with all the prescribed documents listed in the MIN Form, at any of the Point of Service (‘POS’). The MIN Form is available at our website (www.hsbcinvestments.co.in) and AMFI website (www.amfiindia.com). POS are the designated centres appointed by the Central Agency for receiving application forms, processing data and allotment of MIN. List of and location of POS is available at our website (www.hsbcinvestments.co.in) and www.amfiindia.com. On submission of application, documents and information to the satisfaction of the POS, the investor will be allotted a provisional MIN across the counter. Subsequently, the Central Agency will scrutinize the information and documents submitted by the investor, and confirm the MIN. However, the Central Agency may cancel the MIN within 15 working days from the date of allotment of provisional MIN, in case of any deficiency in the document/information. Intimation on cancellation of MIN will be dispatched by the Central Agency to the investor immediately. No communication will be sent to the investor if the MIN as allotted is confirmed. Presently, it is mandatory for all applications for subscription of value of Rs.50,000/- and above to quote the MIN of all the applicants (guardian in case of minor) in the application for subscription. The MIN will be validated with the records of the Central Agency before allotting units. Applications for subscriptions of value of Rs.50,000/- and above without a valid MIN may be rejected. In the event of any MIN Application Form being subsequently rejected for lack of information / deficiency / insufficiency of mandatory documentation, the investment transaction will be cancelled and the amount may be redeemed at applicable NAV, subject to payment of exit load, wherever applicable. Such redemption proceeds will be despatched within a maximum period of 21 days from date of acceptance of application. (In case of an ELSS Scheme or a New Fund Offer, allotment will be done only on confirmation from the Central Agency that the MIN is final and if the Central Agency informs that the MIN is cancelled, the original amount invested will be refunded). All investors (both individual and non-individual) can apply for a MIN. However, applicants should note that minors cannot apply for a MIN and any investment in the name of minors should be along with a Guardian, who should obtain a MIN for the purpose of investing with the Mutual Fund. Also, applicants / unit holders intending to apply for units / currently holding units and operating their Mutual Fund folios through a Power of Attorney (PoA) must ensure that the issuer of the PoA and the holder of the PoA must mention their respective MIN at the time of investment above the threshold. PoA holders are not permitted to apply for a MIN on behalf of the issuer of the PoA. Separate procedures are prescribed for change in name, address and other MIN related details, should the applicant desire to change such information. POS will extend the services of effecting such changes. All other terms and conditions of the Schemes remain unchanged. This Addendum forms an integral part of the Offer Document. Applicants / Unit holders may contact our Investor Service Centers / their distributors, for any additional information/clarifications. Also, please visit our website www.hsbcinvestments.co.in for any other related information.

HSBC MUTUAL FUND

HSBC FIXED TERM SERIES I & II (HFTS I & II)

Addendum No. 16

This Addendum sets out the change made to the HSBC Fixed Term Series Offer Document dated 28 October 2005 The following shall be inserted above the topic ‘How to apply?’ on page 32 of the offer document: Prevention of Money Laundering In terms of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002, the Rules issued there under and the guidelines/circulars issued by SEBI regarding the Anti Money Laundering (AML Laws), all intermediaries, including Mutual Funds, have to formulate and implement a client identification programme, verify and maintain the record of identity and address(es) of investors.

In order to make the data capture and document submission easy and convenient for the investors, the Mutual Fund Industry has collectively entrusted this responsibility of collection of documents relating to identity and address and record keeping to an independent agency (presently CDSL Ventures Limited) that will act as central record keeping agency (‘Central Agency’). As a token of having verified the identity and address and for efficient retrieval of records, the Central Agency will issue a Mutual Fund Identification Number (‘MIN’) to each investor who submits an application and the prescribed documents to the Central Agency.

Investors who have obtained the MIN can invest in the schemes of the Mutual Fund by quoting the MIN in lieu of submitting information and documents required under AML Laws.

Mutual Fund Identification Number (MIN) Investors who wish to obtain a MIN have to submit a completed Application Form for MIN (‘MIN Form’) along with all the prescribed documents listed in the MIN Form, at any of the Point of Service (‘POS’). The MIN Form is available at our website (www.hsbcinvestments.co.in) and AMFI website (www.amfiindia.com). POS are the designated centres appointed by the Central Agency for receiving application forms, processing data and allotment of MIN. List of and location of POS is available at our website (www.hsbcinvestments.co.in) and www.amfiindia.com. On submission of application, documents and information to the satisfaction of the POS, the investor will be allotted a provisional MIN across the counter. Subsequently, the Central Agency will scrutinize the information and documents submitted by the investor, and confirm the MIN. However, the Central Agency may cancel the MIN within 15 working days from the date of allotment of provisional MIN, in case of any deficiency in the document/information. Intimation on cancellation of MIN will be dispatched by the Central Agency to the investor immediately. No communication will be sent to the investor if the MIN as allotted is confirmed.

Presently, it is mandatory for all applications for subscription of value of Rs.50,000/- and above to quote the MIN of all the applicants (guardian in case of minor) in the application for subscription. The MIN will be validated with the records of the Central Agency before allotting units. Applications for subscriptions of value of Rs.50,000/- and above without a valid MIN may be rejected.

In the event of any MIN Application Form being subsequently rejected for lack of information / deficiency / insufficiency of mandatory documentation, the investment transaction will be cancelled and the amount may be redeemed at applicable NAV, subject to payment of exit load, wherever applicable. Such redemption proceeds will be despatched within a maximum period of 21 days from date of acceptance of application. (In case of an ELSS Scheme or a New Fund Offer, allotment will be done only on confirmation from the Central Agency that the MIN is final and if the Central Agency informs that the MIN is cancelled, the original amount invested will be refunded).

All investors (both individual and non-individual) can apply for a MIN. However, applicants should note that minors cannot apply for a MIN and any investment in the name of minors should be along with a Guardian, who should obtain a MIN for the purpose of investing with the Mutual Fund. Also, applicants / unit holders intending to apply for units / currently holding units and operating their Mutual Fund folios through a Power of Attorney (PoA) must ensure that the issuer of the PoA and the holder of the PoA must mention their respective MIN at the time of investment above the threshold. PoA holders are not permitted to apply for a MIN on behalf of the issuer of the PoA. Separate procedures are prescribed for change in name, address and other MIN related details, should the applicant desire to change such information. POS will extend the services of effecting such changes.

All other terms and conditions of the Scheme remain unchanged. This Addendum forms an integral part of the Offer Document.

Applicants / Unit holders may contact our Investor Service Centers / their distributors, for any additional information/clarifications. Also, please visit our website www.hsbcinvestments.co.in for any other related information. This Addendum is dated 29 December 2006.

For Dividends paid out, investors will receive a transaction advice in case of dividends paid along with instrument, where applicable.

Changes in the load structure may be stamped in the acknowledgement slip issued by the Fund after the changes in load structure.

HSBC FIXED TERM SERIES III-XII (HFTS III-XII)

Addendum No. 20

This Addendum sets out the change made to the HSBC Fixed Term Series Offer Document dated 6 January 2006 The following shall be inserted above the topic ‘How to apply?’ on page 33 of the offer document: Prevention of Money Laundering In terms of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002, the Rules issued there under and the guidelines/circulars issued by SEBI regarding the Anti Money Laundering (AML Laws), all intermediaries, including Mutual Funds, have to formulate and implement a client identification programme, verify and maintain the record of identity and address(es) of investors. In order to make the data capture and document submission easy and convenient for the investors, the Mutual Fund Industry has collectively entrusted this responsibility of collection of documents relating to identity and address and record keeping to an independent agency (presently CDSL Ventures Limited) that will act as central record keeping agency (‘Central Agency’). As a token of having verified the identity and address and for efficient retrieval of records, the Central Agency will issue a Mutual Fund Identification Number (‘MIN’) to each investor who submits an application and the prescribed documents to the Central Agency. Investors who have obtained the MIN can invest in the schemes of the Mutual Fund by quoting the MIN in lieu of submitting information and documents required under AML Laws. Mutual Fund Identification Number (MIN) Investors who wish to obtain a MIN have to submit a completed Application Form for MIN (‘MIN Form’) along with all the prescribed documents listed in the MIN Form, at any of the Point of Service (‘POS’). The MIN Form is available at our website (www.hsbcinvestments.co.in) and AMFI website (www.amfiindia.com). POS are the designated centres appointed by the Central Agency for receiving application forms, processing data and allotment of MIN. List of and location of POS is available at our website (www.hsbcinvestments.co.in) and www.amfiindia.com. On submission of application, documents and information to the satisfaction of the POS, the investor will be allotted a provisional MIN across the counter. Subsequently, the Central Agency will scrutinize the information and documents submitted by the investor, and confirm the MIN. However, the Central Agency may cancel the MIN within 15 working days from the date of allotment of provisional MIN, in case of any deficiency in the document/information. Intimation on cancellation of MIN will be dispatched by the Central Agency to the investor immediately. No communication will be sent to the investor if the MIN as allotted is confirmed. Presently, it is mandatory for all applications for subscription of value of Rs.50,000/- and above to quote the MIN of all the applicants (guardian in case of minor) in the application for subscription. The MIN will be validated with the records of the Central Agency before allotting units. Applications for subscriptions of value of Rs.50,000/- and above without a valid MIN may be rejected. In the event of any MIN Application Form being subsequently rejected for lack of information / deficiency / insufficiency of mandatory documentation, the investment transaction will be cancelled and the amount may be redeemed at applicable NAV, subject to payment of exit load, wherever applicable. Such redemption proceeds will be despatched within a maximum period of 21 days from date of acceptance of application. (In case of an ELSS Scheme or a New Fund Offer, allotment will be done only on confirmation from the Central Agency that the MIN is final and if the Central Agency informs that the MIN is cancelled, the original amount invested will be refunded). All investors (both individual and non-individual) can apply for a MIN. However, applicants should note that minors cannot apply for a MIN and any investment in the name of minors should be along with a Guardian, who should obtain a MIN for the purpose of investing with the Mutual Fund. Also, applicants / unit holders intending to apply for units / currently holding units and operating their Mutual Fund folios through a Power of Attorney (PoA) must ensure that the issuer of the PoA and the holder of the PoA must mention their respective MIN at the time of investment above the threshold. PoA holders are not permitted to apply for a MIN on behalf of the issuer of the PoA. Separate procedures are prescribed for change in name, address and other MIN related details, should the applicant desire to change such information. POS will extend the services of effecting such changes. All other terms and conditions of the Scheme remain unchanged. This Addendum forms an integral part of the Offer Document. Applicants / Unit holders may contact our Investor Service Centers / their distributors, for any additional information/clarifications. Also, please visit our website www.hsbcinvestments.co.in for any other related information. This Addendum is dated 29 December 2006.

Addendum No. 3

This Addendum sets out the changes made to the HSBC Tax Saver Equity Fund Offer Document dated 2 November 2006. The following shall be inserted above the topic ‘How to apply?’ on page 36 of the offer document: Prevention of Money Laundering In terms of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002, the Rules issued there under and the guidelines/circulars issued by SEBI regarding the Anti Money Laundering (AML Laws), all intermediaries, including Mutual Funds, have to formulate and implement a client identification programme, verify and maintain the record of identity and address(es) of investors. In order to make the data capture and document submission easy and convenient for the investors, the Mutual Fund Industry has collectively entrusted this responsibility of collection of documents relating to identity and address and record keeping to an independent agency (presently CDSL Ventures Limited) that will act as central record keeping agency (‘Central Agency’). As a token of having verified the identity and address and for efficient retrieval of records, the Central Agency will issue a Mutual Fund Identification Number (‘MIN’) to each investor who submits an application and the prescribed documents to the Central Agency. Investors who have obtained the MIN can invest in the schemes of the Mutual Fund by quoting the MIN in lieu of submitting information and documents required under AML Laws. Mutual Fund Identification Number (MIN) Investors who wish to obtain a MIN have to submit a completed Application Form for MIN (‘MIN Form’) along with all the prescribed documents listed in the MIN Form, at any of the Point of Service (‘POS’). The MIN Form is available at our website (www.hsbcinvestments.co.in) and AMFI website (www.amfiindia.com). POS are the designated centres appointed by the Central Agency for receiving application forms, processing data and allotment of MIN. List of and location of POS is available at our website (www.hsbcinvestments.co.in) and www.amfiindia.com. On submission of application, documents and information to the satisfaction of the POS, the investor will be allotted a provisional MIN across the counter. Subsequently, the Central Agency will scrutinize the information and documents submitted by the investor, and confirm the MIN. However, the Central Agency may cancel the MIN within 15 working days from the date of allotment of provisional MIN, in case of any deficiency in the document/information. Intimation on cancellation of MIN will be dispatched by the Central Agency to the investor immediately. No communication will be sent to the investor if the MIN as allotted is confirmed. Presently, it is mandatory for all applications for subscription of value of Rs.50,000/- and above to quote the MIN of all the applicants (guardian in case of minor) in the application for subscription. The MIN will be validated with the records of the Central Agency before allotting units. Applications for subscriptions of value of Rs.50,000/- and above without a valid MIN may be rejected. In the event of any MIN Application Form being subsequently rejected for lack of information / deficiency / insufficiency of mandatory documentation, the investment transaction will be cancelled and the amount may be redeemed at applicable NAV, subject to payment of exit load, wherever applicable. Such redemption proceeds will be despatched within a maximum period of 21 days from date of acceptance of application. (In case of an ELSS Scheme or a New Fund Offer, allotment will be done only on confirmation from the Central Agency that the MIN is final and if the Central Agency informs that the MIN is cancelled, the original amount invested will be refunded). All investors (both individual and non-individual) can apply for a MIN. However, applicants should note that minors cannot apply for a MIN and any investment in the name of minors should be along with a Guardian, who should obtain a MIN for the purpose of investing with the Mutual Fund. Also, applicants / unit holders intending to apply for units / currently holding units and operating their Mutual Fund folios through a Power of Attorney (PoA) must ensure that the issuer of the PoA and the holder of the PoA must mention their respective MIN at the time of investment above the threshold. PoA holders are not permitted to apply for a MIN on behalf of the issuer of the PoA. Separate procedures are prescribed for change in name, address and other MIN related details, should the applicant desire to change such information. POS will extend the services of effecting such changes. All other terms and conditions of the Scheme remain unchanged. This Addendum forms an integral part of the Offer Document. Applicants / Unit holders may contact our Investor Service Centers / their distributors, for any additional information/clarifications. Also, please visit our website www.hsbcinvestments.co.in for any other related information. This Addendum is dated 29 December 2006.

The Mutual Fund will endeavour to arrange such facility for payment of dividend/redemption proceeds to the Unit holders. However, this facility is optional for the investors. It may be specifically noted that there is no commitment from the Mutual Fund that this facility will be made available to the Unit holders for payment of dividend/ redemption proceeds. While the Mutual Fund will endeavour to arrange the facility, provision of this facility will be dependent on various factors including sufficient demand for the facility from Unit holders at any centre, as required by the authorities. In places where such a facility is not available or if the facility is discontinued by the Scheme for any reason, the AMC shall despatch to the Unit holders the dividend proceeds within 30 days of the declaration of the dividend and the redemption proceeds within 10 business days. Client Information The Mutual Fund shall presume that the identity of the investor and the information disclosed by him is true and correct. It will also be presumed that the funds invested by the investor in the Schemes of the Mutual Fund come from legitimate sources / manner and the investor is duly entitled to invest the said funds.

The Mutual Fund will not, in any way, be responsible for correctness of the information provided by the investor to the Mutual Fund, as to his identity or any other information, and also his sources of income. The Mutual Fund is not under any obligation to carry out any investigation/ inquiry as to the identity of the investor and the sources of the moneys invested by the investor into the schemes of the Mutual Fund. The Fund shall not undertake any such investigation/ inquiry since it does not possess adequate resources to undertake such activity.

Where the funds invested are for the benefit of a person (beneficiary) other than the person in whose name the units are issued and registered, the Mutual Fund shall assume that the investor holding the Units in his name is legally authorized / entitled to invest the said funds in the Units of the Mutual Fund, for the benefit of the beneficiaries. Units of the Schemes are not offered, nor is the Fund managed or intended to serve, as a vehicle for frequent trading that seeks to take advantage of short-term fluctuations in the securities market. This type of trading activity, often referred to as “market timing”, could result in actual or potential harm to the Unit Holders. Accordingly, the Mutual Fund (MF) at it’s sole discretion may reject any purchase or exchange of Units that the MF reasonably believes may represent a pattern of market timing activity involving the Schemes of the MF.

HSBC MUTUAL FUND NOTICE-CUM-ADDENDUM

Notice is hereby given that the Board of Directors of HSBC Asset Management (India) Private Limited and Board of Trustees of HSBC Mutual Fund have approved the following changes in HSBC Combined Scheme Information Document (HSBC Combined SID) dated 20 November 2008 w.e.f. 08 May 2009:

1. Point A on "Risk Factors" under 'Section I - Introduction'

 The following scheme specific risk factor for HSBC Midcap Equity Fund shall be included under "Risk factors associated with investing in Equity or Equity related Securities": "Medium capitalisation stocks have the potential to experience greater volatility and may be less liquid than larger capitalisation stocks. Thus, relative to larger, more liquid stocks, investing in medium capitalization stocks, involves potentially greater volatility and risk. The biggest risk of equity investing is that returns can fluctuate and investors can lose money. The Scheme seeks to generate returns by investing in stocks of Medium Cap Companies that have strong or improving fundamentals, high growth potential or are under-priced relative to their intrinsic value. This may or may not happen. However, as with all equity investing, there is the risk that a company will not achieve its expected earnings results, or that an unexpected change in the market or within the company will occur, both of which may adversely affect investment results."

 The following scheme specific risk factor shall be included under "Risk factors associated with investing in Fixed Income Securities" "Duration Risk: Duration is a risk measure used to measure the bond / security price changes to potential changes in interest rates. Duration of portfolio x the expected changes in rates = the expected value change in the portfolio. Duration is more scientific measure of risk as compared to average maturity of the portfolio. The higher the duration of the portfolio, the greater the changes in value (i.e. higher risk) to movement in interest rates. Modified duration is the duration of a bond / security given its current yield to maturity, put/ call feature, and an expected level of future interest rates." 2. Point C on "Special Considerations" under 'Section I - Introduction' The following shall be included: "The Scheme(s) at times may receive large number of redemption requests which may have an adverse impact on the performance of the Scheme(s) and may also affect all the unit holders as the fund manager needs to liquidate securities to meet the redemptions post which the portfolio is likely to be less liquid." 3. Point D on "Definitions" under 'Section I - Introduction' The definition of "Business Day" shall be substituted by the following: "A day other than (1) Saturday and Sunday and / or (2) a day on which The Bombay Stock Exchange Limited and/ or National Stock Exchange of India Limited and /or Reserve Bank of India and /or banks in Mumbai are closed and / or (3) a day on which there is no RBI clearing / settlement of securities and / or (4) a day on which The Bombay Stock Exchange Limited and/or National Stock Exchange of India Limited and/or any other overseas exchanges where the fund has a substantial investment and/or Reserve Bank of India and/or banks in Mumbai and/or banks in overseas markets where the fund has substantial investment are closed (point no. (4) specifically applicable to HEMF only) and /or (5) a day on which the sale and / or redemption and / or switches of Units is suspended by the Trustees / AMC and /or (6) a book closure period as may be announced by the Trustees / AMC and / or (7) A day on which the sale and repurchase the units of the overseas mutual fund, where the fund has a substantial investment, is suspended or closed (point no. (7) specifically applicable to HEMF only) and / or (8) a day on which normal business cannot be transacted due to storms, floods, bandhs, strikes or such other events as the AMC may determine from time to time. The AMC reserves the right to change the definition of Business Day(s). Provided that the days when the banks in any location where the AMC's Investor Service Centres are located, are closed due to a local holiday, such days will be treated as non Business Days at such centres for the purposes of accepting fresh subscriptions. However, if the Investor Service Centre in such locations is open on such local holidays, then redemption and switch requests will be accepted at those centres, provided it is a Business Day for the Scheme on an overall basis. Notwithstanding the above, the AMC may declare any day as a Business Day / Non Business Day." 4. Change in Benchmark Index of HSBC Ultra Short Term Bond Fund (HUSBF) The benchmark index of HUSBF shall be changed from CRISIL Liquid Fund Index (100%) to composite of CRISIL Liquid Fund Index and CRISIL Short Term Bond Fund Index with weightings of 90% and 10% respectively as the revised benchmark is more suitable for comparison of the scheme which will enable the investors to arrive at a more informed judgment on scheme's performance. 5. Change in the load structure of HSBC MIP - Savings Plan The revised exit load for HSBC MIP - Savings Plan applicable on a prospective basis shall be as follows:

Particulars Existing Revised (For HSBC MIP - Regular Plan & Savings Plan) (For HSBC MIP - Savings Plan) Entry Load Nil Nil Exit Load 1% - if redeemed/switched out within 1.50% - if redeemed/switched out within year from date of investment. 1 year from date of investment.

The maximum maturity of the instruments in this Plan will be in line with the requirements specified for a 'liquid' scheme / plan by SEBI. For the computation of maturity of an instrument, in case of floating rate instruments, the interest reset frequency will be considered instead of the tenor of the instrument. In case the Scheme converts a fixed rate instrument into floating by paying the fixed rate, then the duration of the portfolio would stand reduced to that extent. The Plan may review the above pattern of investments based on views on the debt markets and asset liability management needs and the portfolio shall be reviewed and rebalanced on a regular basis. Under normal circumstances, the Plan shall invest 65% or more of the net assets under the Plan in floating rate instruments and money market instruments.

 The following text stands deleted: "The portfolio duration will undergo a change according to the expected movement in interest rates.

It may be specifically noted that there is no commitment from the Mutual Fund that this facility will be made available to the Unit holders for payment of dividend/ redemption proceeds.

HIOF (an open-ended flexi-cap equity Scheme) seeks long term capital growth through investments across all market capitalisations, including small, mid and large cap stocks. It aims to be predominantly invested in equity & equity related securities. However it could move a significant portion of its assets towards fixed income securities if the fund manager becomes negative on equity markets. HMEF (an open-ended diversified equity Scheme) seeks to generate long term capital growth from an actively managed portfolio of equity and equity related securities primarily being midcap stocks. However, it could move a portion of its assets towards fixed income securities if the fund manager becomes negative on the Indian equity markets. HPTF (an open- ended flexi-theme equity Scheme) seeks to generate long term capital growth from an actively managed portfolio of equity and equity related securities by investing primarily in sectors, areas and themes that play an important role in, and/or benefit from India’s progress, reform process and economic development. HDF (an open-ended Scheme) seeks to provide long term capital appreciation by allocating funds in equity and equity related instruments. It also has the flexibility to move, entirely if required, into debt & money market instruments in times when the view on equity markets seems negative. HEMF (an open ended Scheme) seeks to provide long term capital appreciation by investing in India and in the emerging markets, in equity and equity related instruments, share classes and units/securities issued by overseas mutual funds or unit trusts. The fund may also invest a limited proportion in debt and money market instruments. HTSF (an open ended Equity Linked Savings Scheme) seeks to provide long term capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of equity & equity related instruments of companies across various sectors and industries, with no capitalisation bias. The Fund may also invest in fixed income securities. HUOF (a 3 year close ended equity scheme with automatic conversion into an open ended equity scheme at the end of 3 years from the date of allotment of units) seeks to provide long-term capital growth from a diversified portfolio of equity and equity related instruments. The focus would be to invest in stocks of companies facing “out-of-ordinary” conditions. HSCF (a 3 year close-ended equity scheme with automatic conversion into open ended equity scheme at the end of three years from the date of allotment of Units) seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation primarily from a diversified portfolio of equity and equity related instruments of small cap companies. HIF (an open-ended income scheme) aims to provide a reasonable income through a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities.

HGF (an open-ended gilt scheme) aims to generate reasonable returns through investments in Government Securities of various maturities. The AMC’s view of interest rate trends and the nature of the plans will be reflected in the maturities of securities in which the Plans are invested. HCF (an open-ended liquid scheme) aims to

The Scheme may also invest in fixed rate money market and debt instruments. HFDF (an open ended Debt Scheme) seeks to deliver returns in the form of interest income and capital gains, along with high liquidity, commensurate with the current view on the markets and the interest rate cycle, through active investment in debt and money market instruments. HFTS (a close-ended Income Scheme) seeks to generate reasonable returns by investing in a portfolio of fixed income instruments normally maturing in line with the time profile of the respective Plan(s).

316 HSBC Global Asset Management - Addendums

HSBC MUTUAL FUND NOTICE-CUM-ADDENDUM

NOTICE is hereby given that the following changes will be effected in the Combined Scheme Information Document (SID) of HSBC Mutual Fund (Fund) consisting of all open ended schemes of the Fund. With effect from May 1, 2012, the following changes will be made under the schemes of the Fund : I. RISK FACTORS 1. Risk factors - HSBC Emerging Markets Fund (HEMF) a. The scheme will be investing predominantly in units/securities issued by overseas mutual funds or unit trusts of emerging markets. Hence, HEMF’s performance may depend upon the performance of the underlying overseas mutual funds or unit trusts of emerging markets. Any change in the investment policy or the fundamental attributes of the underlying schemes will affect the performance of HEMF. b. If the underlying scheme into which HEMF predominantly invests, declares any day as a non-business day, AMC will also declare that day as a non business day. However, if this information is received by the AMC from underlying scheme later in the day and HEMF has already accepted transactions, such transactions will be processed on the next business day. c. As the underlying scheme will invest in emerging markets, investors are advised to consider carefully the special risks of investing in emerging market securities. Economies in Emerging Markets generally are heavily dependent upon international trade and, accordingly, have been and may continue to be affected adversely by trade barriers, exchange controls, managed adjustments in relative currency values and other protectionist measures imposed or negotiated by the countries with which they trade. These economies also have been and may continue to be affected adversely by economic conditions in the countries in which they trade. The risk also exists that an emergency situation may arise as a result of which trading of securities may cease or may be substantially curtailed and prices for the underlying scheme’s securities in such markets may not be readily available. 2. Risk factor – HEMF and HSBC Brazil Fund Swing Pricing Risk: There are trading and associated transaction costs involved when there are significant inflows into or significant outflows from the underlying scheme. The dealing charges incurred as a result of such significant flows fall not only on those investors who have just transacted but on all the investors in the underlying scheme thereby diluting the value of their existing shareholders’ holding. Introduction of ‘Swing Pricing’ aims to protect the interest of the existing investors of the underlying scheme from some of the performance dilution that they may suffer as a result of significant inflows and outflows from the underlying scheme. It is a process whereby the underlying scheme adjusts or swings its NAV when a predetermined net capital activity threshold (or swing threshold) is exceeded. Thus, investors of the underlying scheme (including local scheme) may be positively or negatively impacted by application of the swing price factor by the underlying scheme, depending upon whether they are subscribing/redeeming on the date of application of swing price factor. 3. Risk factor applicable to all schemes of the Fund The schemes of the Fund could be exposed to changes in legal, tax and regulatory regime which may adversely affect it and/or the investors. Such changes could also have retrospective effect and could lead to additional taxation imposed on the schemes which was not contemplated either when investments were made, valued or disposed off. II. COMPLIANCE UNDER FATCA Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) - The Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act (the “Hire Act”) was signed into US law in March 2010. It includes provisions generally known as FATCA. The intention of these is that details of U.S. investors holding assets outside the US will be reported by financial institutions to the IRS, as a safeguard against U.S. tax evasion. As a result of the Hire Act, and to discourage non-U.S. financial institutions from staying outside this regime, financial institutions that do not enter and comply with the regime will be subject to a 30% penalty withholding tax with respect to certain U.S. source income (including dividends) and gross proceeds from the sale or other disposal of property that can produce U.S. source income. The regime will be legally effective from 1 January 2013, however, withholding will only be phased in from 1 January 2014. The basic terms of the Hire Act currently appear to include the Fund as a ‘Financial Institution’, such that in order to comply, the Fund may require all investors to provide mandatory documentary evidence of their tax residence. However, the Hire Act grants the U.S. Treasury Secretary extensive powers to relax or waive the requirements where an institution is deemed to pose a low risk of being used for the purposes of U.S. tax evasion. The detailed regulations that are expected to define how widely those powers will in fact be exercised have not yet been published, and accordingly the Fund cannot at this time accurately assess the extent of the requirements that FATCA may place upon it. However, in order to protect its investors from the effect of any penalty withholding, it is the intention of the Fund to be compliant with the requirements of the FATCA regime. Hence, it is possible that this may require the Fund (through its agents or service providers) as far as legally permitted, to report information on the holdings or investment returns of any investor to the US authorities and redeem and/or apply withholding tax to payments to investors who fail to provide the information and documents required to identify their status, or are non- FATCA compliant financial institutions or fall within other catgeories specified in the regulations. This Notice-cum-Addendum forms an integral part of the SID of the Fund, as amended from time to time. For the detailed provisions with regard to the above, kindly refer the SID available on the website of the Fund. All other terms and conditions except as mentioned above, of the schemes of the Fund remain unchanged. Applicants/Unit holders may contact our Investor Service Centres/their distributors, for any additional information/clarifications. Also, please visit our website www.assetmanagement.hsbc.com/in, for any other related information.

Unitholders are requested to update a common email id across all folios with different mutual funds and also in their KYC records. b. However, for folios not included in CAS, the Fund will henceforth issue a separate fund specific Account Statement to the Unitholders on a monthly basis, pursuant to any financial transaction in such folios on or before 10th day of succeeding month, by email to the registered email address. In the event that the registered email address of the Unitholder is not available with the Fund, a physical statement will be sent. c. In case of a New Fund Offer (NFO), the Fund will send an allotment confirmation specifying the number of units allotted to the applicant by way of a physical Account Statement or an email and/or SMS to the Unitholder’s registered address, email address and/or mobile number, as the case may be, not later than five business days from the date of closure of the NFO. d.

CIR/IMD/DF/21/2012 dated September 13, 2012 issued by Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), the Board of Trustees to HSBC Mutual Fund (“Fund“), has decided to introduce a separate plan for direct investments {i.e. investments not routed through an AMFI Registration Number (ARN) Holder (“Distributor”)} (hereinafter referred to as “Direct Plan”), with effect from January 1, 2013 (“Effective Date”), as under: 1. Introduction of Direct Plan: Direct Plan is only for investors who purchase/subscribe units in a scheme directly with the Fund.

Scheme eligibility: Direct Plan shall be introduced in the following schemes of the Fund- (a) All open-ended schemes of the Fund except for Plans discontinued for further subscriptions; and (b) New Fund Offer of close-ended schemes of the Fund launched on or after the Effective Date (hereinafter collectively referred to as “the Schemes”). 3. Plans / Options / Sub-options: All Plans / Options / Sub-Options offered under the Schemes (“Existing Plan”) of the Fund will also be available for subscription under the Direct Plan.

The Portfolio of the Schemes under the Existing Plan and Direct Plan will be common. Example : Scheme - HSBC Equity Fund Existing Plan Direct Plan (introduced w.e.f. January 1, 2013) Subscription Plan HSBC Equity Fund HSBC Equity Fund – Direct Plan Investment Route Investors routing their investments through Distributor Investors investing directly with the Fund Options • Growth Option • Growth Option • Dividend Option (Payout & Re-investment) • Dividend Option (Payout & Re-investment) Scheme / Plan name in the application form HSBC Equity Fund HSBC Equity Fund – Direct Plan

4. Scheme characteristics: Scheme characteristics such as investment objective, asset allocation pattern, investment strategy, risk factors, facilities offered and terms and conditions including load structure will be the same for the Existing Plan and the Direct Plan except that: (a) Switch of investments from Existing Plan, where the transaction has been received with Distributor Code, (whether the investments were made before or after the Effective Date) to Direct Plan shall be subject to applicable exit load, if any. (b) No exit load shall be levied: i. in case of switches from Direct Plan to Existing Plan. ii. in case of switches from Existing Plan, where the transactions were made without Distributor Code, (whether the investments were made before or after the Effective Date) to Direct Plan.

HSBC MUTUAL FUND NOTICE-CUM-ADDENDUM Merger of HSBC Small Cap Fund into HSBC Midcap Equity Fund NOTICE is hereby given that with the objective of making the offering more meaningful and easy to understand for our investors and also to benefit from the economies of scale that will allow efficient management of these schemes, the Board of Directors of HSBC Asset Management (India) Private Limited (AMC) and Board of Trustees of HSBC Mutual Fund (Fund) have approved the merger of the relevant options of HSBC Small Cap Fund (HSCF) with the like options of HSBC Midcap Equity Fund (HMEF). This will be effective April 26, 2014 (effective date), post which HSCF will cease to exist. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has granted its no objection for the aforesaid merger. In accordance with the requirements of SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996, on consolidation/merger of schemes and change in fundamental attributes, approval of unit holders of HSCF and HMEF is sought for the same. Please note that if you are not in agreement with the proposed changes in the schemes, you may switch your investments held in HSCF/HMEF to other scheme(s) of the Fund or redeem your investments, between March 25, 2014 and April 25, 2014 (both days inclusive), at the applicable NAV (as on the date and time of receipt of your application for redemption at any of the designated Official Points of Acceptance), without payment of any exit load, if any. Please note that effective March 1, 2013, the AMC has removed exit loads from all its schemes for prospective investments, in keeping with HSBC’s principles of treating customers fairly. If you have pledged/lien marked units, you will need to procure a release of the pledge/lien prior to submitting the request to exit. If you wish to exercise the exit option, please ensure that any change in your existing bank mandate is duly registered with the Fund prior to submission of redemption request. Investors who have registered for Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) / Systemic Transfer Plan (STP) facility prior to the Effective Date and wish to discontinue their future installments, are required to provide a written request to the Fund. The Fund will take at least 15 days to process such requests. Intervening installments will continue to be processed. However, no action is required in case you are in agreement with the proposed changes. i) Merger of HSCF into HMEF: The sale of units in HSCF will be suspended from March 25, 2014. All the unit holders under HSCF as at the end of April 25, 2014 will automatically become the unit holders under HMEF with units allotted in the latter scheme at the prevailing applicable NAV on that date and thereafter HSCF will cease to exist and no new scheme will come into existence as a result of the merger. On completion of the proposed merger, the unit holders of HSCF who have been allotted the units of HMEF will receive a fresh account statement with details of the fresh units allotted in HMEF. For unitholders of HSCF, as there will be fresh allotment of units in HMEF in lieu of the units held in HSCF, the transaction shall be treated as redemption of units in HSCF which may entail capital gain or loss, as the case may be, in the hands of the unit holder if units are held as capital assets. Also note that as the scheme being merged is equity oriented, applicable Securities Transaction Tax (STT) shall be borne by the AMC. TDS arising out of the proposed merger, if any, will be deducted by the Fund. Please note that in case units are held as "trading assets / stock in trade", the gains arising on redemption of the units could be taxable as business income in the hands of the unit-holders. You are advised to consult your tax advisors to understand the tax implications of the proposed merger based on individual circumstances. HSCF and HMEF being equity oriented schemes, the Total Annual Scheme Recurring Expenses charged by both these schemes are in accordance with the SEBI permissible limit prescribed under sub-regulation 6 and 6A of Regulation 52 of the SEBI Regulations. Post the merger, HMEF will continue to be guided by the existing limits : Average assets under management (p.a. as % of net assets) Upto Rs. 100 crores Rs. 100-400 crores Rs. 400-700 crores Above 700 crores 2.50% 2.25% 2.00% 1.75% Further, as per current Regulation 52 (6A), the additional recurring expenses that can be charged to HMEF shall be subject to a percentage limit of daily average net assets as specified below: Regulation 52 (6A) (b) Additional recurring expenses of upto 0.30% for amounts mobilized from specified cities Regulation 52 (6A) (c) Additional recurring expenses of upto 0.20% towards different heads mentioned in regulation 52(2) and 52(4) ii) Change in asset allocation section of HMEF: Further, the definition of ‘midcap stocks/companies’ mentioned in the asset allocation section of HMEF will undergo a change in terms of updation to reflect the following definition: ‘Equities & equity related securities of companies whose market capitalization (a) does not exceed the capitalization of the largest constituent and (b) is not less than the market capitalization of the smallest constituent of BSE MID CAP Index’. This will however not impact the investment objective/strategy of HMEF. A written communication is being sent to all the unit holders of HSCF and HMEF informing them of the detailed provisions on the proposed changes along with other required disclosures on the merger. This Notice-cum-Addendum forms an integral part of the Combined Scheme Information Document and Key Information Memorandum of HSBC Mutual Fund, as amended from time to time. All other terms and conditions except as mentioned above, of HMEF remain unchanged.

HSBC Unique Opportunities Fund has focused on investing in themes around special (or out of ordinary) situations. True to its mandate, the Schemehas invested across many different themes like - Turnaround / Recovery situations, Mergers & Acquisitions, Dividend Yield, Divestments, Spin-Offs, Demergers, Out-of-favour industries / sectors. Our experience of investing in the dividend yield theme suggests that returns are relatively stable and not as volatile as some of the other themes mentioned above.

Dividend yield for the scheme will be calculated as under - Dividend Yield = Annual Dividend (latest available) / Current Stock Price. Existing Investment Strategy Proposed Investment Strategy The Fund Manager will seek to invest in companies that The Fund Manager will seek to largely invest in stocks with above currently operate in “out of ordinary” situations. Out of the average market yields at the time of investments and which ordinary situationsare event-driven conditions that render have potential for capital appreciation. The ‘above market yields’ the company undervalued relative to its long term potential. means the scheme’s portfolio dividend yield being greater than the dividend yield of the Nifty index as per the investment strategy.

HSBC MUTUAL FUND NOTICE-CUM-ADDENDUM

NOTICE is hereby given that changes will be effected in the Combined Scheme Information Document (SID) and Application Forms of HSBC Mutual Fund (Fund) with regard to the following matters. Investors are requested to take note of the same. 1. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) is a new legislation to help counter tax evasion in the United States. FATCA has been introduced by the United States Department of Treasury and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service to encourage better tax compliance by preventing U.S. Persons from using banks and financial institutions to avoid U.S. taxation on their global income and assets. FATCA legislation will affect both individual and non-individual investors who are treated as ‘U.S. Person’ for US tax purposes. FATCA is globally applicable from July 1, 2014 and in order to comply with FATCA obligations, the Fund will, with effect from June 23, 2014, commence seeking additional information from investors while accepting applications, in order to ascertain their U.S. Person status. Further, with effect from July 1, 2014, the Fund will not accept applications which are not accompanied with information/documentation required to establish the U.S. Person status of investors. Investors are therefore requested to ensure that the details required under Section “Confirmation under Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) for determining US Person status” of the new Application Form are complete and accurate to avoid rejection of the application (updated forms are available with ISCs or on Fund’s website – www.assetmanagement.hsbc.com/in). Kindly read the Section on FATCA in the SID for further details. Investors are encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding the FATCA requirements with respect to their status. 2. Uniform KYC requirements Pursuant to SEBI circular dated December 26, 2013 on uniform KYC norms, certain information from Part I of the standard KYC Form, registered by KRA (KYC Registration Agency), has been shifted to Part II to capture information specific to the area of activity of an intermediary. Accordingly, the additional KYC information required for mutual fund activity has been incorporated into the new Application Forms of the Fund. For new investors who are not already KRA KYC compliant, any application received without the KRA KYC acknowledgement and the requisite additional KYC information, as prescribed in the new Application Form, will be rejected with effect from June 25, 2014. Investors who are KRA KYC compliant as on June 24, 2014, as well as existing investors of the Fund who have registered their KYC status with the Fund, are required to immediately notify the Fund any changes to the prescribed additional KYC information through the HSBC MF KYC Form. Investors are requested to use the new Application Forms or the separate HSBC MF KYC Form, available at ISCs and on the Fund’s website for providing/updating the additional KYC information. The AMC reserves the right to reject the application and refund the application amount, post acceptance of the application, in the event that the required KYC information is not provided or found to be inadequate. 3. Beneficial Ownership Details Under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2005 (PMLA), all intermediaries including mutual funds are required to obtain sufficient information from their clients in order to identify and verify the persons who beneficially own or control the account. SEBI circular dated January 24, 2013 on identification of Beneficial Ownership has prescribed a uniform approach to be followed for determination of beneficial owners. A ‘Beneficial owner’ is defined as a natural person/s who ultimately own, control or influence a client and/or persons on whose behalf a transaction is being conducted, which includes persons who exercise ultimate effective control over a legal person or arrangement.

The funds will be invested in a portfolio of debt and money market instruments maturing on or before the maturity date of the Plan. HFTS is a portfolio of securities with known maturity seeking to generate returns. As part of the portfolio strategy, there would be no security in the portfolio maturing at a date later than the maturity date of the Plan. Due to this strategy, the average maturity of the Plan under HFTS will always be equal to or lower than the tenure of the Plan. The Plan would invest only in such securities which mature on or before the date of the maturity of the Plan. However, the Fund Manager would aim to reinvest the proceeds from securities maturing before the maturity of the Plan. In case if reinvesting is not viable or the opportunities are not available in the market, the money will be parked into overnight instruments. The Plan may invest in unlisted and / or privately placed debt securities subject to the limits indicated under "Investment Restrictions for the Scheme” prescribed in the Scheme Information Document, from issuers of repute and sound financial standing. The Fund may invest a part of the portfolio in various debt securities issued by corporates and / or state and central government. Such government securities may include securities which are supported by the ability to borrow from the Treasury or supported only by India’s sovereign guarantee or of the state government or supported by GOI / state government in some other way. Benchmark of the CRISIL Short Term Bond Fund Index Rolled-over Plan Minimum Amount for The minimum amount for roll-over of the Plan is INR 35 Crores. This is the minimum amount required to Rolled-over operate the Plan and if this minimum amount is not available at the time of roll-over, then the unit holders who have opted for the roll-over will receive full refund of the maturity proceeds as on the Existing Maturity Date. If this happens, but the AMC fails to refund the amount within 5 business days from close of the roll-over date, interest as specified by SEBI (currently 15% p.a.) will be paid to the unit holders for such number of days, from expiry of 5 business days from the date of the roll-over.

In view of the individual nature of the implications, unitholders are advised to consult their tax advisors /financial advisors with respect to the specific nature and amount of tax or any other implications that may arise out of their participation in the roll-over of the Plan. It may be noted that the withholding tax liability for non-resident investors lies with the Fund. Hence, non-resident investors are requested to submit the valid certificate obtained u/s 197 of the Income Tax Act. Non submission would attract withholding tax as per the tax rates prevailing at the time of maturity which could extend upto maximum marginal rate. Further non-residents who choose not to roll-over, the investments would be redeemed subject to deduction of withholding tax at a rate applicable for short term capital gains at the time of redemption, unless a valid certificate obtained u/s 197 is submitted to the Fund. Unitholders are requested to note that the roll-over will be done only if a written consent is provided to the Fund by signing the Consent Letter and submitting the same latest by 4:00 p.m. on April 06, 2015 at the nearest Investor Service Centres of the AMC or service locations of the Registrar.

If the criteria of minimum 20 investors is not met, then the unit holders who have opted for the roll-over will receive the maturity proceeds as on the Existing Maturity Date and in case of exposure beyond 25% of the corpus, the excess exposure will be paid to the unit holder. If unitholders decide to participate in the roll-over and the Plan goes ahead with the roll over, the existing details of their investments under the Plan viz. option, plan, etc., shall remain unchanged. In case unitholders do not wish to roll-over, their units will be redeemed at the applicable NAV on the Existing Maturity Date.

Investment Strategy of the The Plan will invest predominantly in debt and money market instruments where interest rate risk is Rolled-over Plan relatively low to medium. The funds will be invested in a portfolio of debt and money market instruments maturing on or before the maturity date of the Plan. HFTS is a portfolio of securities with known maturity seeking to generate returns. As part of the portfolio strategy, there would be no security in the portfolio maturing at a date later than the maturity date of the Plan. Due to this strategy, the average maturity of the Plan under HFTS will always be equal to or lower than the tenure of the Plan. The Plan would invest only in such securities which mature on or before the date of the maturity of the Plan. However, the Fund Manager would aim to reinvest the proceeds from securities maturing before the maturity of the Plan. In case if reinvesting is not viable or the opportunities are not available in the market, the money will be parked into overnight instruments. The Plan may invest in unlisted and / or privately placed debt securities subject to the limits indicated under "Investment Restrictions for the Scheme” prescribed in the Scheme Information Document, from issuers of repute and sound financial standing. The Fund may invest a part of the portfolio in various debt securities issued by corporates and / or state and central government. Such government securities may include securities which are supported by the ability to borrow from the Treasury or supported only by India’s sovereign guarantee or of the state government or supported by GOI / state government in some other way. Benchmark of the CRISIL Short Term Bond Fund Index Rolled-over Plan Minimum Amount for The minimum amount for roll-over of the Plan is INR 35 Crores. This is the minimum amount required to Roll-over operate the Plan and if this minimum amount is not available at the time of roll-over, then the unit holders who have opted for the roll-over will receive full refund of the maturity proceeds as on the Existing Maturity Date. If this happens, but the AMC fails to refund the amount within 5 business days from close of the roll-over date, interest as specified by SEBI (currently 15% p.a.) will be paid to the unit holders for such number of days, from expiry of 5 business days from the date of the roll-over. Risk factors of Roll-over Please refer to the risk factors section of the Scheme Information Document and Key Information Memorandum of HSBC Fixed Term Series 105 - 112 (HFTS) for risks associated with investing in Mutual Funds in general and Fixed Term Series in particular. The roll-over carries the risk of reinvestment owing to investment of the rolled over amounts over the Extended Maturity Period. The Plan will not offer any redemption until the Extended Maturity Date and liquidity will be available only through the listing of the Plan on stock exchange. In view of the individual nature of the implications, unitholders are advised to consult their tax advisors /financial advisors with respect to the specific nature and amount of tax or any other implications that may arise out of their participation in the roll-over of the Plan. It may be noted that the withholding tax liability for non-resident investors lies with the Fund. Hence, non-resident investors are requested to submit the valid certificate obtained u/s 197 of the Income Tax Act. Non submission would attract withholding tax as per the tax rates prevailing at the time of maturity which could extend upto maximum marginal rate. Further non-residents who choose not to roll-over, the investments would be redeemed subject to deduction of withholding tax at a rate applicable for short term capital gains at the time of redemption, unless a valid certificate obtained u/s 197 is submitted to the Fund. Unitholders are requested to note that the roll-over will be done only if a written consent is provided to the Fund by signing the Consent Letter and submitting the same latest by 4:00 p.m. on April 06, 2015 at the nearest Investor Service Centres of the AMC or service locations of the Registrar. In case of Units held under demat mode, unitholders are required to submit the Consent Letter latest by 4:00 p.m. on April 01, 2015. The Consent Letter is also made available on our website, www.assetmanagement.hsbc.com/in. If your email id is registered with the Fund, the request for consent shall be sent to your email id and your consent to roll-over should be provided by replying to the email with a scanned copy of the signed Consent Letter, followed by dispatching the originals to the Fund on or before April 06, 2015. The roll-over of the Plan is subject to compliance with SEBI guidelines in respect of requirement of minimum investors in the Plan i.e. 20 investors and no single investor accounting for more than 25% of the corpus of the Plan. If the criteria of minimum 20 investors is not met, then the unit holders who have opted for the roll-over will receive the maturity proceeds as on the Existing Maturity Date and in case of exposure beyond 25% of the corpus, the excess exposure will be paid to the unit holder. If unitholders decide to participate in the roll-over and the Plan goes ahead with the roll over, the existing details of their investments under the Plan viz. option, plan, etc., shall remain unchanged. In case unitholders do not wish to roll-over, their units will be redeemed at the applicable NAV on the Existing Maturity Date.

This facility of transacting on BSE Star MF platform, allowed investors to hold units in dematerialized form only, whereas now the investors holding units in non-demat/physical mode can also transact through the stock exchange mechanism. Under ‘Section III – ‘Units and Offer’, B. ‘Ongoing Offer details’ in the SID, the existing provision on ‘Facility to purchase / redeem units of the Scheme(s) through Stock Exchange’, will undergo a change to include acceptance of non-demat transactions also through the stock exchange mechanism, effective June 15, 2015. 2.
