    Low-risk returns from arbitrage funds

    Source: Business Line Apr 16, 2018

    Arbitrage mutual funds — a type of hybrid equity-oriented fund — takes advantage of the price difference in stocks in the cash and futures market.

    Hence, they are best-suited for low-risk investors, as they offer steady returns and carry zero risk of capital losses. As the positions are fully hedged, these funds are effectively risk-free. Moreover, they have the facility to invest a major portion of the portfolio in FDs, debt and money market instruments that offer a better return.
