Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 0%, 0% and 0%, and the scheme sits in the Balanced Risk category.<\/p>\n<p>Our view is that this is a relatively early-stage arbitrage-oriented hybrid scheme with a short live track record, so the cleanest read comes from its recent behaviour rather than long-horizon numbers. The current profile suits investors who want a moderated risk label, modest short-term stability, and are comfortable with limited history before drawing firm conclusions.<\/p>\n<div

Over the 1M and 3M windows, the fund stayed slightly positive while the benchmark remained negative, which suggests a calmer pattern than the broader market\u2019s recent swings. That kind of behaviour is often what investors look for in an arbitrage-style allocation: limited directional dependence and a smoother short-term path.<\/p>\n<p>The short history matters here. The fund launched on 14 Oct 2025, so there is no long multi-year record yet to judge compounding through a full cycle. The available 1M and 3M figures do show the fund holding up better than the benchmark in the near term, but we would treat that as an early signal rather than a durable long-run pattern.<\/p>\n<p>The daily path also looks restrained. There are small day-to-day changes rather than sharp swings, which is consistent with a more stability-oriented return profile. For investors, that means the more relevant question is not whether the fund can chase a market-like rally, but whether it can keep delivering a relatively contained experience when equity sentiment is weaker.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 16 Sep 2026<\/small><\/p>\n<section class=\"univest-mf-premium-cta\" style=\"margin:28px 0;padding:24px;border-radius:10px;border:1px solid #d8e3f0;background:#f7faff\">\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_you_BUY_or_HOLD_The_Wealth_Company_Arbitrage\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD The Wealth Company Arbitrage?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A fund&#8217;s past returns alone don&#8217;t tell you whether you should buy it today or continue holding it.<\/p>\n<p>The right decision depends on factors such as your current allocation, purchase price, risk profile, investment horizon and the role this fund plays in your overall portfolio.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Already holding The Wealth Company Arbitrage?

Its available 3M pattern is positive, yet the peer set also includes a fund with usable 3Y and 5Y figures that point to a longer operating history and steadier compounding evidence. In our view, this means the current fund is still building its track record while the peer set offers a clearer long-run reference point.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 16 Sep 2026<\/small><\/p>\n<div class=\"univest-peer-login-cta\" style=\"margin:20px 0;padding:16px 18px;border:1px solid #d8e3f0;border-radius:8px;background:#f7faff\">\n<p style=\"margin:0\"><strong>Want to know more?<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/user\/log-in\" style=\"font-weight:700;text-decoration:none\">Log in to Univest<\/a> for more mutual fund insights.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Portfolio_where_your_money_goes\"><\/span>Portfolio: where your money goes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Holding<\/th>\n<th>Sector<\/th>\n<th>Weight<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>The Wealth Company Mutual Fund<\/td>\n<td>Domestic Mutual Funds Units<\/td>\n<td>20.24%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>ICICI Bank Limited<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>7.79%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Canara Bank<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>6.5%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Axis Bank Limited<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>6.43%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>HDFC Bank Limited<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>5.18%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited<\/td>\n<td>Capital Goods<\/td>\n<td>4.87%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Godrej Properties Limited<\/td>\n<td>Realty<\/td>\n<td>4.79%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Vodafone Idea Limited<\/td>\n<td>Telecom<\/td>\n<td>4.36%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The Clearing Corporation of India Ltd.<\/td>\n<td>Cash &amp; Cash Equivalents and Net Assets<\/td>\n<td>3.74%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Adani Green Energy Limited<\/td>\n<td>Power<\/td>\n<td>3.44%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The top 10 holdings account for approximately 67.34% of the portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>To see all holdings, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/mutual-funds\/the-wealth-company-arbitrage-fund-g-direct-plan\">The Wealth Company Arbitrage Fund Direct Growth Plan<\/a> page<\/p>\n<p>The largest disclosed holding is The Wealth Company Mutual Fund at 20.24%, which is materially above the rest of the list. After that, the weights step down to 7.79%, 6.5%, 6.43% and 5.18%, so the portfolio loses concentration quickly after the first line item. That suggests the single largest position is likely to have the greatest influence on the visible slice, while the next few holdings still matter but do not dominate in the same way.<\/p>\n<p>The top 10 disclosed holdings together account for 67.34% of the portfolio, leaving a meaningful tail across the remaining 19 disclosed positions. Because the full holding count is 29, the scheme does not look like a narrow two- or three-position portfolio. Instead, it appears to blend a sizeable anchor position with a broader set of smaller positions, which may help reduce dependence on any one non-core exposure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 16 Sep 2026<\/small><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_should_invest\"><\/span>Who should invest<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This fund may suit investors who are comfortable with a Balanced Risk profile and want a relatively steadier return pattern than the broad market. The short-term record has been mildly positive while the benchmark has been negative over the same recent windows, which makes the scheme more appealing to investors who value muted movement over aggressive upside.<\/p>\n<p>The main trade-off is history: the scheme launched in October 2025, so there is not yet a long record to judge how it behaves through a full cycle. That makes it more appropriate for investors with a medium-term outlook who are willing to accept limited track-record depth in exchange for a controlled, arbitrage-style return profile.<\/p>\n<p>It is less compelling for someone whose main goal is to chase equity-like growth. The portfolio\u2019s visible mix is spread across financials, cash-linked instruments and select equity names, so the fund looks more suited to a stability-first allocation than a high-conviction growth sleeve.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tax_and_exit_load\"><\/span>Tax and exit load<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Holding period<\/th>\n<th>Tax rate<\/th>\n<th>Description<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Units held less than 1 year<\/td>\n<td>20%<\/td>\n<td>Short-term capital gains tax<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Units held more than 1 year<\/td>\n<td>12.5%<\/td>\n<td>Long-term capital gains tax<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Exit load: 0.25% on or before 7D, Nil after 7D.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 16 Sep 2026<\/small><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_asked_questions\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_current_NAV_of_The_Wealth_Company_Arbitrage_Fund_Direct_Growth_Plan\"><\/span>What is the current NAV of The Wealth Company Arbitrage Fund Direct Growth Plan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The current NAV is \u20b910.5868 as of 16 Sep 2026.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_funds_1M_and_3M_returns\"><\/span>What are the fund\u2019s 1M and 3M returns?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The fund\u2019s 1M return is 0.47% and its 3M return is 1.48%.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_has_the_fund_performed_against_the_benchmark_recently\"><\/span>How has the fund performed against the benchmark recently?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It has done better than the benchmark over both the 1M and 3M periods.

Compared with the peer set, the current record is thinner on multi-year evidence, although the available short-term behaviour is constructive. The Balanced Risk label, together with a portfolio that includes a meaningful anchor position and a broad set of smaller holdings, points to a more stability-oriented profile than a growth-chasing one. That makes it most relevant for investors who value controlled movement and can live with a still-developing track record.<\/p>\n<p class=\"univest-posted-at\" style=\"font-size:14px;color:#666;margin:20px 0 8px\">Published on 17 September 2026 at 11:53 AM IST<\/p>\n<section class=\"univest-login-cta\" style=\"margin:28px 0;padding:24px;border-radius:10px;background:#eef5ff;border:1px solid #cddff7;text-align:center\">\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Explore_mutual_funds_with_Univest\"><\/span>Explore mutual funds with Univest<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Review mutual fund data, compare performance and explore fund insights on Univest.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/user\/log-in\" style=\"display:inline-block;padding:11px 20px;border-radius:6px;background:#1f4e79;color:#fff !important;text-decoration:none;font-weight:700\">Explore Univest<\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"univest-disclaimer\">\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"RIA_disclosure\"><\/span>RIA disclosure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks.
