Arbitrage – The Concept

The arbitrage concept works off on mispricing of assets across different markets due to the underlying inefficiencies in market pricing. The illustration alongside gives a general idea of how the arbitrage fund takes advantage of such mis-pricing. All positions are completely hedged and hence the strategy mitigates the risk associated with market volatility.

E.g. Assume stock price of ABC Ltd. is at Rs.190/- in the cash market. This stock is also traded in the derivatives segment, where its future price is Rs.197/- In such a case, one can make a risk-free profit by selling a futures contract of ABC Ltd. at Rs. 197/- and simultaneously buy an equivalent number of shares in the equity market at Rs 190/-. On settlement day, it wouldn’t matter which direction the stock price has taken in the interim. Because on the expiry day (settlement date) the price of equity shares and their futures tend to converge. (Also refer illustration on slide 3)

HDFC Mutual Fund/AMC is not guaranteeing returns on investments made in this scheme. The example ignores all transaction related costs.

Investment Strategy

• Derive returns from the implied cost of carry between the underlying and the derivatives market.
• This provides an opportunity to provide returns, possibly higher than the short-term interest rate without taking the market risk.
• Implied cost of carry and mis-pricing across the cash & derivative markets can lead to profitable arbitrage opportunities.
• The Scheme would carry out strategies, which would be to take offsetting positions on various markets simultaneously. – No

Naked Positions

• The overall risk the Scheme would carry would be that of being market neutral i.e. no specific equity risk.
• When such opportunities are not available, the scheme may invest in debt securities or money market instruments.

In view of the individual circumstances and risk profile, each investor is advised to consult his / her professional advisor before making a decision to invest in the Scheme. For further details
