Important Note
Points Worth Knowing
Invesco India Arbitrage Fund is managed by Invesco Asset Management India — the Indian arm of a global asset management group. As a smaller fund house in India, the AUM of the arbitrage fund is smaller than peers like ICICI Pru or Kotak. Smaller AUM in arbitrage funds is not necessarily a disadvantage — it can mean more flexibility in executing arbitrage opportunities.
Investment Objective
As per Scheme Information Document
The investment objective of the Scheme is to generate income through arbitrage opportunities emerging out of price differentials in cash and derivative market and through deployment of surplus cash in fixed income instruments.
