Birla Sun Life Mutual has launched Birla Sun Life Capital Protection Oriented Fund – Series 22. The scheme’s duration will be 1,100 days from the date of allotment. The fund will invest at least 80 per cent of its assets in debt and money market instruments at any given time. The scheme’s proposed portfolio structure has been rated CARE AAAmfs (SO) by rating agency CARE, denoting highest safety from the perspective of achieving the objective of capital protection.
Favourable tax treatment — at par with equity schemes — despite the risk profile being a tad better than equity mutual fund schemes has bought arbitrage funds into focus. Following Edelweiss, Axis Mutual Fund has launched its arbitrage fund, Axis Enhanced Arbitrage Fund.
The scheme seeks to generate absolute returns by capitalising on arbitrage opportunities in the cash and derivative segment of the equity markets. Pankaj Murarka and Devang Shah will manage the fund.
Interested? Make up your mind before August 8, 2014.
