Investors from Guwahati have collectively invested ₹15.5 crore in the Tata Arbitrage Fund over the past three months. Arbitrage funds, known for exploiting price differences between cash and futures markets, are increasingly preferred by those seeking stability without direct exposure to equity risk.
Between April and June 2025, arbitrage funds across India attracted a staggering ₹43,077 crore, outpacing inflows into other hybrid and equity mutual fund categories, according to data from the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI). Tata Arbitrage Fund alone recorded inflows worth ₹5,217 crore during this period, with its Assets Under Management (AUM) reaching ₹14,274 crore by June-end. Sailesh Jain, Fund Manager at Tata Asset Management, noted, “In today’s volatile climate, arbitrage funds are ideally placed to deliver equity-like tax returns while minimising direct market exposure.”
In Guwahati, local investors facing declining returns from traditional savings and fixed-income options are turning to arbitrage funds as a low-risk hedge. With interest rates falling and savings yields under pressure, the appeal of tax-efficient, low-volatility investments like arbitrage funds continues to grow.
