BANK OF INDIA Arbitrage Fund risk metrics

Frequently asked questions

How often has BANK OF INDIA Arbitrage Fund beaten its benchmark over 3-year periods?

BANK OF INDIA Arbitrage Fund beat its benchmark, Nifty 50 Arbitrage, in 1.64% of all overlapping 3-year rolling windows in its history. This is different from simply having a positive return - it measures how often the fund's own 3-year CAGR exceeded the benchmark's 3-year CAGR over the exact same dates, which is a more direct read on the manager's stock selection than a single trailing alpha figure computed over one window.

What is BANK OF INDIA Arbitrage Fund's 3-year rolling return, and how does it rank?

BANK OF INDIA Arbitrage Fund's 3-year rolling CAGR (median across all rolling 3-year windows in the data) is 4.8%. That places it in the 4th percentile within its category, Arbitrage Fund - meaning it has outperformed roughly 4% of peers in the same category over this window. The category median for this metric is 6.7%, so comparing BANK OF INDIA Arbitrage Fund's figure against that median shows how much it has beaten (or trailed) a typical fund in this category. Rolling returns average performance across many overlapping windows rather than a single start/end date, which makes them a steadier read on consistency than a simple point-to-point return.

How risky is BANK OF INDIA Arbitrage Fund?

BANK OF INDIA Arbitrage Fund carries a "Low" risk rating on SEBI's mandated riskometer scale, the same standardized classification every Indian mutual fund must disclose. This rating reflects the fund's underlying portfolio composition and historical volatility, and is set independently of any single AMC's own marketing - it's meant to give investors a comparable, at-a-glance sense of how much the fund's value can swing before deciding whether it matches their own risk appetite and investment horizon. A higher-risk rating isn't inherently bad; it typically correlates with higher long-term return potential, but also with larger short-term drawdowns, so it should be read alongside the fund's category and your own time horizon rather than in isolation.

What is BANK OF INDIA Arbitrage Fund's expense ratio?

BANK OF INDIA Arbitrage Fund's direct-plan expense ratio is 2.19% per year - the annual fee the AMC deducts from the fund's assets to cover management and operating costs, already reflected in the NAV you see (it isn't billed separately). Direct plans skip the distributor commission built into Regular plans, which is why a direct-plan expense ratio is almost always lower than the same scheme's Regular-plan version. Over long holding periods, even a difference of a few basis points compounds into a meaningfully different final corpus, which is why expense ratio is one of the few fund attributes an investor can compare with total certainty before investing, unlike future returns.

How does BANK OF INDIA Arbitrage Fund's expense ratio compare to its category?

BANK OF INDIA Arbitrage Fund's expense ratio of 2.19% ranks #30 of 40 funds in the Arbitrage Fund category (lower is better) - the category median is 1.45%. Expense ratio is deducted from the fund's assets every year regardless of performance, so a lower ratio is a real, certain cost advantage rather than a projection, unlike future returns.

How big is BANK OF INDIA Arbitrage Fund, and how does that compare to its category?

BANK OF INDIA Arbitrage Fund manages ₹120 Cr in assets, ranking #33 of 39 funds by size in the Arbitrage Fund category - the category median is ₹1,091 Cr. A larger fund generally means deeper liquidity and lower per-unit fixed costs for the AMC to spread across investors, but in categories with a smaller investable universe (like small or mid cap), a very large fund can also face more difficulty entering and exiting positions without moving the price.

What's the best and worst 3-year holding period for BANK OF INDIA Arbitrage Fund historically?

Looking at every overlapping 3-year window in BANK OF INDIA Arbitrage Fund's history, the best-performing window ran from 2023-04-24 to 2026-04-23, delivering a 7.1% CAGR. The worst-performing window ran from 2019-11-13 to 2022-11-12, delivering a 3.2% CAGR. This is a historical record of actual past outcomes, not a prediction - it shows the real range of results an investor holding for exactly 3 years could have seen depending on entry timing, which is why rolling returns (median across all windows, shown above) are a more representative single number than either extreme.

How concentrated are BANK OF INDIA Arbitrage Fund's top holdings?

BANK OF INDIA Arbitrage Fund's single largest disclosed holding, Net Receivables / (Payables), accounts for 80.56% of NAV. Its top 5 holdings together make up 112.1% of the portfolio, and its top 10 disclosed holdings make up 134.7% - as of 2026-09-30. A higher concentration in the top few names means the fund's returns lean more heavily on those specific bets paying off, while a flatter spread means no single holding drives outcomes as much either way.

Who manages BANK OF INDIA Arbitrage Fund, and what category does it belong to?

BANK OF INDIA Arbitrage Fund is managed by Bank of India Investment Managers Private Limited and is classified under the Arbitrage Fund category, the SEBI-defined scheme categorization that groups funds by their investment mandate (market-cap focus, sector, or asset mix) so investors can compare like-for-like funds rather than across unrelated strategies. The AMC (asset management company) is the regulated entity legally responsible for the fund's operations, portfolio decisions, and disclosures, though day-to-day investment calls are made by a designated fund manager within the mandate set by the scheme's category and stated objective.
