Frequently asked questions
How often has HSBC Income Plus Arbitrage Active FOF beaten its benchmark over 3-year periods?
HSBC Income Plus Arbitrage Active FOF beat its benchmark, 65% NIFTY Short Duration Debt Index + 35% NIFTY 50 Arbitrage Index, in 89.57% 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 HSBC Income Plus Arbitrage Active FOF's 3-year rolling return, and how does it rank?
HSBC Income Plus Arbitrage Active FOF's 3-year rolling CAGR (median across all rolling 3-year windows in the data) is 6.9%. That places it in the 7th percentile within its category, FoF Domestic - meaning it has outperformed roughly 7% of peers in the same category over this window. The category median for this metric is 13.3%, so comparing HSBC Income Plus Arbitrage Active FOF'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 HSBC Income Plus Arbitrage Active FOF?
HSBC Income Plus Arbitrage Active FOF carries a "Low to Moderate" 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 HSBC Income Plus Arbitrage Active FOF's expense ratio?
HSBC Income Plus Arbitrage Active FOF's direct-plan expense ratio is 0.15% 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 HSBC Income Plus Arbitrage Active FOF's expense ratio compare to its category?
HSBC Income Plus Arbitrage Active FOF's expense ratio of 0.15% ranks #16 of 159 funds in the FoF Domestic category (lower is better) - the category median is 0.17%. 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 HSBC Income Plus Arbitrage Active FOF, and how does that compare to its category?
HSBC Income Plus Arbitrage Active FOF manages ₹528 Cr in assets, ranking #63 of 157 funds by size in the FoF Domestic category - the category median is ₹187 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 HSBC Income Plus Arbitrage Active FOF historically?
Looking at every overlapping 3-year window in HSBC Income Plus Arbitrage Active FOF's history, the best-performing window ran from 2014-05-07 to 2017-05-06, delivering a 10.2% CAGR. The worst-performing window ran from 2017-05-12 to 2020-05-11, delivering a 3.9% 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 HSBC Income Plus Arbitrage Active FOF's top holdings?
HSBC Income Plus Arbitrage Active FOF's single largest disclosed holding, HSBC Arbitrage Fund - Direct Growth, accounts for 36.83% of NAV. Its top 5 holdings together make up 100.2% of the portfolio, and its top 6 disclosed holdings make up 100.0% - 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 HSBC Income Plus Arbitrage Active FOF, and what category does it belong to?
HSBC Income Plus Arbitrage Active FOF is managed by HSBC Asset Management (India) Private Ltd. and is classified under the FoF Domestic 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.
