About Excel India Growth & Income Fund
The Fund's investment objectives are to provide unitholders with (i) the opportunity for capital appreciation; and (ii) monthly distributions. The Fund has been created to invest in an actively managed, diversified portfolio (the "Portfolio") comprised primarily of publicly-listed equity securities and investment grade corporate fixed income securities, in each case, issued by entities located in India. The Fund does not have a fixed monthly distribution amount but intends to, at least annually, set distribution targets based on the Manager's and portfolio manager's estimate of distributable cash flow for the period. All distributions are paid out to unitholders as cash distributions, unless the unitholder has opted in the dividend re-investment program (DRIP).
Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with investment funds. Excel Funds Management Inc. does not guarantee any particular rate of return or the performance of the Fund, the repayment of capital from the Fund or any tax treatment of any distribution from the Fund.
