Summary

A low-risk hybrid scheme - arbitrage fund. Same fund manager for 6+ years — the strategy has not chopped and changed. Returns depend on cash-futures spreads and can temporarily fall below liquid-fund levels.

Strengths
  • Same fund manager for 6+ years — the strategy has not chopped and changed.
  • Ranks 31 of 163 in its category over 1 year.
Weaknesses
  • None
Ideal investor
  • Suited for parking money for 3–12 months or longer — an alternative to liquid funds and short-term FDs.
  • Taxed as an equity fund, which may be more efficient than an FD for some tax brackets.
Risk drivers
  • Cash-futures spread compression can reduce arbitrage returns.
