UTI Arbitrage Fund
The fund maintains its core arbitrage strategy with two-thirds equity exposure anchored in banking sector largecaps, while deploying a thirteenth of assets in money market funds for liquidity management. The manager rotated holdings this month—trimming liquid fund weightings and swapping defensive cyclicals for growth-oriented names in chemicals and IT—suggesting confidence in capturing spreads from a broadening market rather than defensive positioning. Despite modest monthly returns, the concentrated top-10 structure and tactical rebalancing indicate the manager is actively hunting arbitrage opportunities across wider market segments rather than sitting passively on cash.
