Bandhan MF Launches Arudha Equity Long-Short Fund Amid Market Volatility

Bandhan Mutual Fund's Arudha SIF has launched the Arudha Equity Long-Short Fund, an open-ended equity scheme designed to deliver equity-like returns with volatility similar to hybrid funds through dynamic long-short positioning and selective use of debt and derivatives. The strategy aims to adapt to market volatility by combining long equity, short equity, covered calls, and debt components. Meanwhile, markets have recently declined due to rising tensions in West Asia, affecting major indices and sectors amid global economic uncertainties.
