Quant Mutual Fund has introduced the Qsif Active Asset Allocator Long-Short Fund, which is currently open for subscription until April 2. This fund utilizes a dynamic investment strategy, allowing allocations across equity, debt, equity and debt derivatives, and commodity derivatives. The minimum investment during the New Fund Offer (NFO) is set at ₹10 lakh (approximately $12,000 USD), with subsequent investments in multiples of Re 1. For Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs), the minimum is ₹10,000 with at least six installments required. The fund will be benchmarked against a composite index of 40% NSE 500 TRI, 30% CRISIL Short Term Bond Fund Index, and 30% iCOMDEX Composite Index. A team of five fund managers, including Sandeep Tandon and Jignesh Shah, will oversee the fund's operations. This investment option is designed for investors seeking long-term capital appreciation and income generation through a diversified asset allocation approach, including up to 25% short exposure on permitted instruments to optimize returns and manage risk efficiently.
