Sophisticated investors do this all the time. Now it's your turn
You don't always have to invest cash for derivative trading, in fact, most HNIs don't. Minance will first collateralize your mutual funds with the stock exchange. For every asset that you put up, you receive margin after a 'haircut'. For example, if you collateralize funds worth ₹10 lakhs, the exchange might give you a margin of ₹8 lakhs for derivative trading, the difference of two lakhs is kept by the exchange to protect itself from market downsides. This is referred to as a 'haircut'.
We use the margin gained from your mutual funds to execute very conservative derivative strategies. These strategies consistently generate returns between 0.8%* to 1.2%* every month.
Earn a monthly income, choose to redeem it for your expenses or reinvest it to benefit from compounding.

Are equities held for a long time in Arbor?
No, equity trades in Arbor are designed to benefit from short-term trends in stocks. Some of the strategies used involve a mix of both equities and derivatives. In order to boost returns, equities held in your account are collateralized and the margin released by the broker is used for derivative trades.

Futures and options have an inherent risk because of the leverage built into derivatives. However, derivatives also help you control your risk using different types of hedging techniques.
