How this is computed
Each verdict is computed from this fund's own metrics against its sub-category — the number behind it is shown, not a black-box rating. The stars weight the same ground 60/15/10/15 (performance/risk/cost/downside) across every fund in the peer group. Ranked within Arbitrage Fund (same plan and option). Based on a 1-year record — this fund is too young for a 3-year CAGR, so its performance is ranked on 1Y against the same peers. 34 of the 38 Arbitrage Funds in this cohort carry the full record the stars need, so they are the ones ranked against.

Taxation
Taxed as equityThis is an equity-oriented fund (≥65% in Indian equities), so gains get the concessional capital-gains rates below — they do not add to your income-tax slab.
Flat, on the whole gain
On gains above ₹1.25 L per financial year
Applies to capital gains on redemption. Excludes IDCW/dividend tax, STT, surcharge and cess, and pre-2018 equity grandfathering. For research only — consult a tax advisor before filing.
Asset allocation
As on 31 Aug 2026 · AMC disclosure- Equity77.39%
- Other17.51%
- Cash & Equivalents5.10%
Cash & cash-like: 17.51% — the 5.10% above plus treasury bills, certificates of deposit, commercial paper and TREPS, which the allocation files under Debt but the market counts as cash-equivalent.
Fund size over time
Quarterly average AUM · AMFIAt or near its largest, ₹85.39Cr in April - June 2026. Size matters most where the mandate is narrow — a large small-cap or a very large flexi-cap book is harder to move without moving the price.
Net flow is an estimate: AMFI publishes a quarterly average AUM, not a closing balance, and it covers every plan and option of this scheme together, so it is a read on direction and rough size rather than a cash-flow statement.
