Investment Philosophy 

Not available for firm. The following is the stated strategy for the fund

Arbitrage Opportunities Fund  

www.karvycapital.com/hedge.aspx

  • The Arbitrage Opportunities Fund aims at providing returns superior to liquid funds on a post-tax and post cost basis without taking any market risk at all. 
  • The only strategies to be implemented in this fund are based on strict arbitrage in listed securities such as futures, options and stocks.
  • The Arbitrage Opportunities Fund takes up trades only when certain to make a minimum amount of returns above the liquid funds returns. At other times it will stay in cash. 
  • The trades, being arbitrage driven, have no uncertainty in their returns once taken. The worst case for the fund is hence a complete lack of opportunities – in which case the fund would simply generate returns at par with the liquid funds.
  • Karvy Capital Ltd has built the team for managing this fund over the last two years and has been investing proprietary capital in building its absolute returns strategies.
  •  Our approach is based on robust and well established techniques to spot market inefficiencies and use them to deliver market-neutral absolute returns.
