Frequently Asked Questions

 
texts

An arbitrage fund is an hybrid mutual fund that aims to profit from the price difference of the same asset between two markets. This could include buying an asset at a lower price in the spot market and selling it for higher in the derivatives market or capitalising on the price difference of an asset between two stock exchanges. The purchase and sale transactions are made simultaneously to benefit from brief pricing inefficiencies.

An arbitrage fund is suited to investors with a low-to-moderate risk appetite seeking to earn potentially reasonable returns over a short investment horizon.

No, earnings on arbitrage funds are subject to tax. Arbitrage funds are taxed as equity mutual funds. A short-term capital gains tax of 15% is levied on earnings held for less than year, while a long-term capital gains tax of 10% is levied on earnings held for less than year

Like all mutual funds, arbitrage funds are subject to market risks. However, they fall in the low-risk category. The instantaneous nature of arbitrage trades makes these funds less vulnerable to wider market trends.

No mutual fund investment is risk-free and equity funds are considered to carry greater risk than debt mutual funds. Additionally, flexi cap mutual funds may be more volatile than large cap funds, which tend to offer relatively stable returns because they invest in top-tier companies.
However, a skilled fund manager of a flexi cap fund will aim to mitigate risks by altering the allocation between the different market capitalisations based on the economic conditions and their insights.

Low volatality, no credit risk and benefits on equity taxation are some of the major advantages of Bajaj Finserv Arbitrage Fund.

This scheme can be a suitable option for risk-averse investors looking to park their surplus funds and those who are seeking an alternative to overnight funds.
