Dear Investor,

 

Subject: NFO of Reliance Infrastructure Fund (An Open Ended Equity Scheme)

NFO Closes on 23 rd June 2009

We recommend you to make investments in this mutual fund given the following rationale and outlook of the Indian economy and Infrastructure sector.

 

Rationale

Infrastructure spending has witnessed a sharp acceleration, riding on the back of the fourth consecutive year of 8%+ GDP growth, a balanced increase in the gross capital formation (GCF) in infrastructure as a proportion of GDP emerges as the most important key in sustaining high economic growth. Currently, the GCFI is at 5% of GDP. As per the Planning Commission, the CFI need to be increased to 9% of the GDP to sustain growth momentum in the economy.

An ambitious reform programme initiative involving a shift from a controlled to an open market economy has opened doors for private sector / foreign investment in infrastructure projects such as energy, petroleum, telecommunications transportation sectors etc. And removal of regulatory and availability constraints on any product or service, has catalyzed investments, attracted competition and rationalized costs leading to a new growth trajectory. The infrastructure sector in the country is thus poised for accelerated growth in the coming years.

 

Infrastructure gaining momentum

We observe a pick up of infrastructure spending in the economy, driven by strong political will and ease of project financing. An urgency to ensure commercial viability is now apparent across the board, and is being reflected across sectors. For instance, SEB losses are reducing, bottom-line of Indian Railways is improving and income of port authorities is rising. The momentum of private sector participation is also picking, with innovative financing concepts like ‘Public Private Partnerships' and ‘Viability Gap Funding'.

According to a recent consultation paper, ‘Investment in Infrastructure' in the Eleventh Plan Period (FY07-12) issued by the Planning Commission, the total investment in infrastructure is expected to be Rs.20, 271 Billion ( USD 494 Billion ). The projected investment in infrastructure in the Eleventh Plan is 2.3x the amount in the Tenth Plan. Power (30%) form the biggest chunk of the planned expenditure while road, telecom and railways are the next big contributors. The largest inflection in investments is expected to be in ports, airports, railways, water supply and sanitation over the next five years.

 

Why invest in Reliance Infrastructure Fund?

•  From India 's No 1 Mutual Fund with an AAUM of Rs 88,387.98 Crs* (as on 29th April 2009)

•  Huge anticipated growth opportunity in the sector as reflected in the preceding paragraph.

•  Market Valuations of Companies related to Infrastructure Sector attractive compared to potential growth. *Source : www.amfiindia.com

 

Investment Strategy

The investment focus would be guided by the growth potential and other economic factors of the Country. The Fund intends to invest in companies related to infrastructure and in diversified companies, where a major portion of their revenues (primary activity) is derived from the infrastructure related activities.

Infrastructure sector comprises of Energy, Power and Power Equipment, Oil & Gas and related industries, Petroleum and related industries, Coal, Mining, Aluminum and other Metal Industries, Steel and Steel Utilities, Engineering, Construction and Construction Related Industries, Cement, Transportation, Ports, Telecommunications, Housing, Banking and Financial Services and Healthcare and Related Industries.
