Samco Arbitrage Fund - Regular Growth

About Scheme: Arbitrage is a strategy of identifying and capturing the price difference of a stock in the cash market and its corresponding price in the futures market. This involves buying a stock in the cash market and simultaneously selling it in the futures market at a higher price. The key principle behind this strategy is that the cash market price converges with the futures market price at the end of the month. This convergence creates a window of opportunity to capture the price differential and realize a profit with low risk.
