Exit Load and Redemption

• Lock-in Period: An investor units are locked in for a period of 12 months from date of its issue and can only be redeemed after that.
• Settlement: When an investor places a redemption request, the units will be redeemed at the prevailing Net Asset Value per Unit on the “Redemption Date” less redemption fee and profit sharing. Units will be redeemed on a “first in first out” basis, unless specific Units are requested for redemption by the Unit-holder.
• Note that payments for redemption requests may take up to 90 Business Days of the relevant Redemption Date to get settled. The fund has kept a 3 months period for settlements as the fund may have unlisted securities in the portfolios such as Pre-IPOs but if the fund has availability of the cash during your redemption request and no planned investments, the settlement can happen much sooner
