Arudha Hybrid Long-Short Fund

Bandhan Mutual Fund

Arudha Hybrid Long-Short Fund is an interval strategy combining a near-fully-hedged equity book with short- to medium-term debt: a ~39% gross equity long position offset by an almost equal equity-futures short overlay, alongside AAA/AA-rated corporate bonds, NCDs, certificates of deposit, and T-Bills. As of end-September 2026 equity and its hedge were both around 39% (largely netting out), corporate bonds made up roughly 44%, certificates of deposit about 8%, T-Bills about 5%, and cash the remainder. Direct plan TER is 0.25%; the Regular plan runs 0.63%.
