FAQ Background

Frequently Asked Questions

A hybrid long-short fund invests in equity, debt, arbitrage, and derivatives while taking both long and short positions to reduce market risk and generate stable returns.

It combines directional equity (0–40%), arbitrage, debt, and derivatives flexibility, whereas arbitrage funds are market-neutral and equity savings funds have limited directional exposure.

The fund targets low volatility with minimal negative 6-month rolling returns, supported by arbitrage and debt allocation with controlled net equity exposure.

The recommended investment horizon is more than 18 months to allow the long-short and derivatives strategies to play out across market cycles.

HNI investors seeking tax-efficient, low-volatility hybrid returns and an alternative to arbitrage or equity savings funds may consider this strategy.
