This compares with the historical average of 10%* *Source: CLSA

Construction- Direct beneficiary of infrastructure spend • Construction work is estimated to be 25 -95% of total infrastructure spending in each segment*. With a total likely infrastructure spend of US$312 bn*, the volume of construction jobs from infrastructure is likely to increase by 83% to US$180 bn with the biggest increases from power, ports and airports. • Private Investment in road projects estimated to be Rs. 1, 125 billion under the Eleventh Plan as compared to Rs. 70 billion in the 10 th Plan** • As project size and complexity increase, it will be difficult for smaller players to qualify for these projects (technically as well as financially) as a result the strong well established players would gain from market share • Apart from the infrastructure spending, the construction contractors are all set to see strong growth in jobs from pick up in industrial capex and real estate * (excluding telecoms) Source: CLSA **Source: CLSA

Cement – Long term positive but supply concerns in the near term • Cement capacity grew rapidly since 2006 and is expected ramp up by another 33% by 2012 with another 72 million tonnes coming on stream* • The gap between demand effective supply is expected to widen to 51 million tonnes by March 2011, before it starts declining again* • Cement consumption has been growing at nearly 10% y-o-y during FY 10* • Capacity utilisation levels expected to decline and oversupply concerns in the near term as capacity ramps up faster than demand in the near term • Long term growth would be driven by the expected boost in infrastructure spending in India *Source: CMA data, Credit Suisse estimates

Metals – Leading the recovery cycle • Metal sector driven by revival in global GDP growth with end user segments such as infrastructure, transportation and housing showing sign of revival • Indian demand for metals expected to remain robust on the back of strong demand drivers such as infrastructure and autos • Non ferrous metal prices have seen a revival as restocking of inventory in anticipation of demand pick up • Pressure on steel prices appears to have eased due to rise of steel prices in China

Why Bharti AXA Focused Infrastructure Fund?

Why “Focus” on Core Infrastructure? 3000 2500 29% CAGR 2000 13% CAGR 1500 10% CAGR 1000 29 -Dec-09 29 -Oct-09 29 -Aug-09 29 -Jun-09 29 -Apr-09 28 -Feb-09 29 -Dec-08 29 -Oct-08 29 -Aug-08 29 -Jun-08 29 -Apr-08 29 -Feb-08 29 -Dec-07 29 -Oct-07 29 -Aug-07 29 -Jun-07 29 -Apr-07 28 -Feb-07 0 29 -Dec-06 500 BSE 100 Index (adjusted for infra related sectors)# BSE 100 Index Source: MFIE, Bloomberg, Internal Average returns of Top 5 Infrastructure Funds$ Past Performance may or may not be sustained in the future. The above graph is for illustrative purposes only and in no way indicates or is providing any assurance of the possible returns from Bharti AXA Focused Infrastructure Fund. #BSE 100 Index (adjusted for infra related sectors) is a depiction of BSE 100 returns after removing the sectors in which Bharti AXA Focused Infrastructure Fund will not invest (as detailed in preceding pages). $ The portfolio composition and the benchmarks of the Top 5 Infrastructure Funds – shown in graph above – may vary from that of Bharti AXA Focused Infrastructure Fund. The Top 5 Infrastructure funds have been selected on the basis of returns given by open-ended infrastructure funds for the period Jan 1, 07 to Jan 4, 10.

Methodology and Analysis of returns • In order to analyze the performance of the focused infrastructure sectors as identified by us under Bharti AXA Focused Infrastructure Fund, we plotted the BSE 100 Index (broad diversified index) against an adjusted BSE 100 Index after removing all the companies that belong to non infrastructure sectors (as identified by us under Bharti AXA Focused Infrastructure Fund) • The results show that the core infrastructure sectors have returned a CAGR of 29% over the period Jan 1, 07 to Jan 4, 10 as compared to a CAGR of 10% for the BSE 100 over the same period • During this period, the Top 5 infrastructure funds, depicted above, have given a CAGR of 13% • History shows that focusing on core infrastructure has paid handsome dividends in the past • We believe this trend will continue in the coming years given the impetus on infrastructure investment both from the government as well as public-private partnerships

Bharti AXA Focused Infrastructure Fund ≠ Company Concentration • Bharti AXA Focused Infrastructure Fund is also different from the “Focused” Funds currently available • We are “Focused” in terms of the sectors that we will invest in, while NOT being “Focused” with regards to Company Concentration What does this mean in terms of portfolio allocation? • SEBI regulations in terms of maximum single issuer concentration limit of 10% would also apply to the portfolio • In addition, prudent single stock concentration limits would apply to ensure that there is no excess concentration towards any single company • Thus, while the Fund Manager can take a concentrated position in a particular infrastructure related sector, he has to maintain adequate diversification in terms of number of stocks invested in
