PGIM India Arbitrage Fund
PGIM India Arbitrage Fund maintains its classic strategy as a low-volatility cash alternative, holding 75.7% in cash and near-term treasuries while deploying the remainder in liquid mutual funds and blue-chip equities. The fund's heavy net receivables position—reflecting its core arbitrage operations—combined with concentrated bets in banking and large-cap stocks like HDFC Bank and L&T suggests it's positioned for steady returns with minimal portfolio friction. Recent exits from pharma and IT names while adding a fintech play signal modest repositioning toward financial sector exposure, though the overwhelmingly defensive posture indicates the manager prioritizes capital preservation over conviction bets.
