Risk Factors In Such Funds

  • A significant portfolio turnover rate is also anticipated for the scheme, particularly in an erratic market. Additionally, the Scheme suggests executing arbitrage transactions in multiple markets at the same time, which could lead to a large transaction cost and portfolio turnover.

  • When using arbitrage tactics across different market segments, there is an execution risk that could lead to lost investment opportunities, losses, or expensive transaction fees.

  • Even though the futures market is usually more liquid than the underlying cash market, there is no guarantee that the scheme will always have access to ready funds to buy and close out a particular future contract.

  • The scheme's success will be directly impacted by the NIFTY 50 Arbitrage TRI's performance. Therefore, any modification in composition due to weighting or stock selection will affect the scheme.

  • Fixed-income products, including corporate and government bonds, money market instruments, and derivatives, are subject to interest rate and price risk. In general, the values of current fixed-income instruments decrease when interest rates rise, and vice versa when interest rates decrease.

  • Due to variables affecting the underlying assets, investments in REITs and InvITs are prone to daily price changes and are therefore considered volatile.
