IDFC ARBITRAGE FUND
An open ended scheme investing in arbitrage opportunities
WHAT IS ARBITRAGE?
Buying in one market and selling in another simultaneously to take
advantage of a temporary price differential is called arbitrage.
For instance, if you could buy A in Gujarat at ₹ 100 and sell it in Mumbai
simultaneously at ₹ 101, you could make ₹ 1 profit at very low risk. This
opportunity arises out of market inefficiency and is the basis of every arbitrage trade.
WHAT IS ARBITRAGE FUND?
• The fund invests in arbitrage opportunities in the cash and the derivative
segments of the equity markets. It aims to capture the spread (Cost of
Carry) between the cash and futures market by simultaneously executing
buy (in the cash market) and sell (in the futures market) trades.
• The fund follows a strategy of taking market neutral (equally offsetting
because the stocks are bought and sold at the same time) positions in
the equity market making it a low risk product irrespective of the
movements in equity market.
ADVANTAGE
• Low risk vis-à-vis Equity Funds:
As the fund takes market neutral stance (hedges its equity exposure) and
doesn’t take any directional calls, it is a low risk product versus pure equity
funds.
WHO IS THIS FUND FOR?
• Investors with a low to medium risk appetite.
• Investors who want to earn similar to risk-free returns.
