Arbitrage Funds: Overview

Arbitrage Funds are hybrid mutual funds that aim to generate returns by exploiting price differences of the same security in the cash and derivatives markets. When such differences arise, the fund simultaneously buys in one market and sells in the other, potentially locking in a small, low-risk spread. Because these trades are typically hedged, arbitrage funds tend to carry relatively low volatility compared with other equity-oriented funds.

They may be suitable for investors seeking short-term parking of money with equity taxation benefits and lower risk levels. However, returns depend on market volatility and available arbitrage opportunities, and are not guaranteed.

Individuals can invest in arbitrage funds via SIP investments or lumpsum.

Regular Plan

Frequently Asked Questions

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 20% is levied on earnings held for less than year. For units held for more than a year, gains of up to Rs. 1.25 lakh are tax-exempt. Thereon, the tax rate is 12.5%.

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.
