Arbitrage funds yet to warm up to Sebi's 1% leeway for CAS exposure
Sebi has eased rules for arbitrage funds, hoping to draw more of this ₹3 trillion mutual fund category into CAS exposure. The regulator allowed a 1% leeway, but arbitrage funds have not yet warmed up to it. In practice, the money that could move has not moved yet. If you hold arbitrage funds, give it time and watch how your fund house responds.
