Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are -4.56%, 10.7% and 9.99%, and it sits in the High Risk category. Our view is that the fund has rewarded patient investors better over longer periods than over the last year, but the recent weakness against a broad market benchmark means it suits investors who can tolerate uneven stretches and still stay focused on the longer holding period.<\/p>\n<p>The fund has a value-oriented portfolio with meaningful cash and large positions in banks and IT. That mix can help it stay defensively positioned at times, but it also means performance may move differently from the benchmark when growth and market leadership shift.<\/p>\n<div

last year has been soft, but the fund has still held up slightly better than the benchmark over the 1-month and 3-month windows. That tells us the short-term path has been choppy rather than one-directional, with brief recoveries interrupting a weaker year.<\/p>\n<p>Over 3 years and 5 years, the picture is stronger. The fund\u2019s returns are comfortably ahead of Nifty 50 over both periods, which suggests the strategy has created value through a full cycle rather than only in a short run-up. The gap versus the benchmark is wide enough to matter, especially in the 3-year period.<\/p>\n<p>The recent 1-year weakness does not erase the longer record, but it does show that the fund can lag during difficult stretches. Our view is that this matters for investors who compare only the latest year, while long-term investors may be more interested in the better 3-year and 5-year outcome.<\/p>\n<p>The pattern also fits the fund\u2019s value style. It has delivered stronger compounding over longer periods, but the path has been uneven, so investors should expect periods where the benchmark looks steadier.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 03 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_Quantum_Value\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD Quantum Value?<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 Quantum Value?

Over 5 years, it is behind the peers that have full 5-year numbers available, which suggests the stronger long-term pattern is present but not as forceful as the best peer outcomes shown here.<\/p>\n<p>The short-term and longer-term comparisons tell different stories. The latest year looks weak, yet the 3-year result remains respectable and the 5-year result is still positive. That split matters because it indicates the fund may be in a rough patch even after delivering decent medium-term compounding.<\/p>\n<p>For investors comparing only the listed return figures, the key point is that the fund\u2019s recent softness is more visible than its longer history. The longer record is still useful, but the current year has clearly been less convincing than the peer set with the strongest recent numbers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 03 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>TREPS ^<\/td>\n<td>Cash &amp; Cash Equivalents and Net Assets<\/td>\n<td>8.04%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>HDFC Bank Ltd*<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>6.15%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>ICICI Bank Ltd*<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>5.35%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tata Consultancy Services Ltd*<\/td>\n<td>IT<\/td>\n<td>4.67%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Infosys Ltd*<\/td>\n<td>IT<\/td>\n<td>4.3%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd*<\/td>\n<td>Bank<\/td>\n<td>3.9%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Exide Industries Ltd*<\/td>\n<td>Automobile &amp; Ancillaries<\/td>\n<td>3.82%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tech Mahindra Ltd*<\/td>\n<td>IT<\/td>\n<td>3.51%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Container Corporation of India Ltd*<\/td>\n<td>Logistics<\/td>\n<td>3.36%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Ltd*<\/td>\n<td>Consumer Durables<\/td>\n<td>3.34%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The top 10 holdings account for approximately 46.44% of the portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>To see all holdings, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/mutual-funds\/quantum-value-fund-g-direct-plan\">Quantum Value Fund Direct Growth Plan<\/a> page<\/p>\n<p>The largest position is TREPS ^ at 8.04%, so cash and cash equivalents still play a visible role. After that, the weights move down through a set of bank and IT holdings, with HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and TCS all above 4%.<\/p>\n<p>The fall from the largest holding to the tenth holding is fairly steady rather than abrupt, which suggests the portfolio is not relying on one or two dominant bets alone. At the same time, the combined weight of the top 10 holdings at 46.44% shows that nearly half of the portfolio is still tied to a limited set of positions.<\/p>\n<p>With 31 disclosed holdings overall, the fund appears moderately spread out beyond the top slice.

The 3-year and 5-year numbers suggest the strategy can work better over a fuller cycle, while the 1-year result shows that short stretches can be uncomfortable.<\/p>\n<p>We think the more suitable horizon is medium to long term, because the stronger evidence sits in the 3-year and 5-year track record rather than in the recent year. The trade-off is clear: investors may get access to a value-driven portfolio that has done better over longer periods, but they also need to accept uneven short-term performance.<\/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 applies as follows: Nil up to 10% of units on or before 730 days, for remaining units 2% on or before 365 days and 1% after 365 days but before 730 days, and nil after 730 days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 03 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<p><strong>What is the current NAV of Quantum Value Fund Direct Growth Plan?<\/strong><br \/>The current NAV is \u20b9124.74 as of 03 Sep 2026.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How has Quantum Value Fund Direct Growth Plan performed over 1 year, 3 years and 5 years?<\/strong><br \/>Its returns are -4.56% over 1 year, 10.7% over 3 years and 9.99% over 5 years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does the fund compare with Nifty 50?<\/strong><br \/>It is ahead of Nifty 50 over 3 years and 5 years, while the 1-year result is slightly weaker than the benchmark.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which peer fund has the strongest 1-year figure among those listed?<\/strong><br \/>LIC MF Value Fund Direct Growth Plan has the highest listed 1-year return at 22.64% among the peer set shown here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there a minimum SIP for this fund?<\/strong><br \/>The fund allows SIP investments, and the minimum SIP amount is \u20b9500.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who manages the fund and what is the exit load?<\/strong><br \/>George Thomas and Christy Mathai manage the fund.
