Looking for a low-risk way to grow idle funds? Arbitrage funds might be your smartest move
Advertorial ET Spotlight Every rupee sitting idly in a low interest account loses its edge, especially when inflation and taxes nibble away at potential returns. Keeping your money safe often means letting it pass up on significant gains. Sure, it is not at risk, but it is also not growing in any meaningful way. So what is the alternative when you want your money to remain accessible, but also work a bit harder? The price gap hack: Where smart money moves In the typical Indian household, ' get an FD [fixed deposit], it's safe ' is the standard chant to new investors, and sure, putting ₹1 lakh in a fixed deposit does feel reassuring. But once the initial comfort fades, the reality sinks in: it is barely earning anything! After taxes and inflation, FD returns are meagre. This is where arbitrage funds offer a smarter alternative, a low-risk way to keep your money accessible while capturing gains by buying in one market and selling in another at a slightly higher price. In the stock market, arbitrage funds exploit price differences between two segments: The cash (spot) market , where stocks are bought and sold for immediate delivery at current prices , where stocks are bought and sold for immediate delivery at current prices The futures market, where stocks are bought or sold at a pre-agreed price for delivery at a future date. For example, if a stock is trading at ₹100 in the spot market and ₹105 in the futures market, an arbitrage fund buys it at ₹100 and simultaneously sells it at ₹105, locking in a ₹5 profit per share. There is no guesswork or market prediction involved, just a steady gain from the price gap. Still confused? Think of a friend who buys a smartwatch at a warehouse sale for ₹2,500 and sells it online for ₹2,800, pocketing ₹300 with no risk. Arbitrage funds follow the same logic, and according to data from AMFI (Association of Mutual Funds in India)1, they have often delivered better post-tax returns than savings accounts and short-term FDs, especially for investors in higher tax brackets. Why Axis Arbitrage fund could be your smart parking spot Got some extra cash from a bonus, tax refund, or just a few months of savings you won't need right away? Letting it sit idle can feel safe, but it is also a missed opportunity. That's where Axis Arbitrage Fund steps in, offering a steady, low-risk way to keep your money active while staying why it works: Captures price spreads, not market swings: Instead of guessing where the market is headed, it locks in small gains from price differences between the cash and futures markets.

For pure debt exposure, you could consider an Ultra Short-Term or Short-Term Debt Fund. Let your money work safely and smartly Not every investment needs to be bold to be effective. Sometimes, the smartest strategy is quiet, steady, and built on capturing small, consistent opportunities.
