*Market capitalisation size | No. of Companies | % of Portfolio |

| Mid Cap (US$4bn < M/cap < US$12bn) | 9 | 27.4% |

*At six monthly intervals the investment team will review the portfolio and the market capitalisation to best reflect its positioning in the Mid and Small cap segment of the market. In its review exercise carried out in January 2025, the market cap definitions of Large, Mid and Small cap companies have been updated. The definitions are based on the classification adopted by the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI), which is mandated by the Securities & Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to define Large, Mid and Small cap companies. AMFI utilises the following methodology to define market capitalisation (six months average market cap across all exchanges is considered):
· The top 100 largest companies by market cap are classified as Large cap
· The next 150 companies by market cap are defined as Mid cap
· All other companies are defined as Small cap
As a result, ICGF has adopted the following market cap classifications from 1 January 2025:
· Small cap: Market cap < USD 4 billion
· Mid cap: USD 4 billion < Market cap < USD 12 billion
· Large cap: Market cap > USD 12 billion
