Unattractive debt market, tax benefits to drive flows
LOW-RISK ARBITRAGE FUNDS have attracted significant inflows in April and May as investors found them attractive due to tax benefits as well as a safe haven during market volatility.
In April, these funds saw inflows of ₹11,790.37 crore and they improved further to hit a record high in May at ₹15,701.97 crore, according to data from the Association of Mutual Funds in India (Amfi). As of May-end, the category had net assets under management of ₹2.34 lakh crore, data shows.
Experts believe that high inflows can reduce the spread of returns, but it remains a good option for HNIs and high-tax-bracket investors to park their money for the short term.
THIS IS BECAUSE despite the lower risk involved, they are taxed as equity funds: short-term gains at 15-20% and long-term gains above ₹1 lakh at just 12.5%, compared to liquid/debt funds taxed at the full slab rate up to 30%.
