Quant Arbitrage Fund

Arbitrage funds are generally preferred by risk-averse investors seeking stable returns without exposure to direct equity market fluctuations. Since arbitrage profits arise from mispricing between cash and derivative markets, the fund aims to generate returns while minimising downside risk. Furthermore, the short-term exit load of just 0.25% ensures liquidity for investors.

Conclusion

The investment strategy of this scheme is to generate both capital appreciation and income. This will be achieved mainly through arbitrage trading in the equity market’s cash and derivative segments, including opportunities solely within derivatives.
