Kotak Equity Arbitrage Fund
(Open-Ended Equity Growth Scheme)

An open ended equity oriented scheme that aims to generate income and capital appreciation by predominantly investing in arbitrage opportunities in the cash and derivatives segment of the equity market and in debt and money market securities. The scheme evaluates the difference between price of a stock in futures and spot market and enters into only those trades where the carry yield is higher than that of cash funds. The fund manager may square off or roll over the positions depending on the opportunities available. The scheme is suitable for investors who have an investment horizon is 3 months and above and who want to participate in the otherwise capital intensive equity arbitrage market for returns better than cash funds.

Notices & Addendum

The scheme seeks to identify & take advantage of arbitrage opportunities in the market by buying cash equities and simultaneously selling the same stock in the futures market. With the increase in the universe of stocks covered in the futures segment and the volatility in the markets, the scope for such arbitrage has increased. As the scheme is long in cash equities, the scheme also receives the dividend on the concerned scrips apart from the arbitrage in the futures market. The equity status ensures that the returns to the investors are tax efficient, which in some cases can contribute additionally to the returns. The spreads have started showing signs of widening indicating that arbitrage opportunity would be there in the coming months and investors who would want to gain out of these arbitrage opportunities may ideally invest in this fund now with a horizon of 3-6 months.
