5 per cent. The excellent OM Kotak rate was achieved by
good investment management and a small exposure to the
equity markets over the year.

Kotak, in its third consecutive year of operations, has
shown commendable results. The key drivers for achieving
this growth have been the products, the focus on the upper

distribution channels and our fund performance. At OM

rate."
